Eagles' Saquon Barkley Gives Shocking Statement on Future in NFL
Eagles' Saquon Barkley Gives Shocking Statement on Future in NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles have emerged as one of the best teams in the National Football League.

Saquon Barkley speaks on his future in the NFL Running back Saquon Barkley went on the Greenlight podcast, which former Eagles defensive end Chris Long hosts, and they had an interesting conversation. Advertisement One subject that sparked interest in Barkley was his future as a football player with retirement in mind and what can be expected from the Madden 26 cover athlete moving forward. "I'll probably be one of those guys that it'll be out of nowhere. I'll probably just wake up one day, whether it's in the next year or 2 years and just be like, 'Yeah it's over,'" Barkley said. A sudden retirement like this would be similar to what Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders did after playing 10 seasons with the Detroit Lions from 1989-1998. Barkley decided to commit to the Eagles on a long-term contract after their historic season last year, signing a two-year extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through the 2028 season.

Advertisement His comments that went viral on social media can be concerning to a lot of fans, but if he plays through his current contract, Barkley should be with the team for at least another four seasons.

Luke Littler and Luke Humphries back darts 'Royal Rumble' and agree format
Darts stars Luke Littler and Luke Humphries have discussed how a Royal Rumble-style event could take off in the sport and outlined a possible format for the tournament Darts stars Luke Littler and Luke Humphries have expressed their support for a Royal Rumble-style event in the darts world. The question was posed during a joint interview, and both top players were keen on the idea. For those unfamiliar with WWE, the Royal Rumble begins with two competitors in the ring, with surprise entrants joining the match at two-minute intervals. Given the exciting atmosphere at darts events and fans' fondness for walk-on music, Humphries and Littler believe the concept could be a hit in their sport with a few adjustments. WWE enthusiast Littler proposed that the darts version of a Royal Rumble match would involve rapid-fire 501 legs. The victor of each leg would then face unknown opponents, unveiled by their walk-on music, continuously until a champion is declared. When asked the question during an 'Agree to Disagree' game, Littler and Humphries immediately voted strongly to agree. "Have it!" Littler exclaimed as he joked about which player would make a comeback in the sought-after final slot. "I think it'd be good," Humphries told Sport Bible. "You probably couldn't rank it or anything because you'd have to make sure you're not taking too much away from the seriousness of the sport. But I think it would be a good laugh, a good bit of fun. I think the fans would love it as well." Discussing how he envisioned the tournament format, Littler said: "I don't think they could go above one leg, a 501. Straight away, one leg, the loser goes off and then the next player will do their walk on." Darts prodigy Littler is an avid professional wrestling fan, as the world champion chose his walk-on song - 'Greenlight' by Pitbull after it soundtracked WrestleMania 33 in 2017. "Every WrestleMania has their own tune and Flo Rida sang it with LunchMoney Lewis, and I was there right up in the stands," Littler said. Despite his passion for pro wrestling, Littler doesn't favour swapping darts silverware for wrestler-style championship belts. "I couldn't imagine getting a replica wrestling belt that said 'Darts World Champion' and putting it around my waist," he confessed. Fellow darts ace Humphries echoed this sentiment: "It's kind of fun, but for me it's all about trophies and they feel more prestigious." Littler and Humphries are focused on battling for the Premier League title during Thursday night's Finals Night playoffs. Defending champion Littler is gearing up to battle Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals, while Humphries takes on Nathan Aspinall. The winners will then fight for the title in the Premier League final. After the Premier League season concludes, Littler and Humphries will soon team up for England in the World Cup of Darts next month. Both players believe they can help England retain the World Cup trophy, following Humphries' success with Michael Smith last year. "Didn't need a second to think about it," Humphries said when discussing his and Littler's chances at the World Cup. "Everything can happen in darts, it's tough, but the way me and Luke play, our rhythm. "If we play to our potential, no offence to any of the opponents we play against, but I do think we'll be too good for them. If we play to our potential, I strongly agree that we will win the World Cup." Meanwhile, World Cup debutant Littler is equally determined. "We'll want to win it back-to-back, and obviously I want to get my hands on it," he said. "The pressure's going to be there, and we don't know what's going to happen. If we turn up on the day, we'll win, but if we lose, we lose."

Hedge fund manager Einhorn sees upside for gold and inflation
A hot streak for gold helped fuel a strong start to the year for Greenlight Capital, and hedge fund manager David Einhorn said Wednesday he still sees more upside for the yellow metal. The price of spot gold has surged more than 20% this year, with most of those gains coming in the first quarter. Einhorn, the president of Greenlight, told CNBC's Scott Wapner that his long-term case for gold is still intact and that the commodity can continue to go higher. 'Gold is about the confidence in the fiscal policy and the monetary policy. And since we bought gold in 2008 or so, it's been very clear to me that the U.S. fiscal and monetary policies are both too aggressive and create a risk,' Einhorn said. Stock chart icon Gold has outperformed stocks in 2025. Einhorn pointed to the meager cost-cuts from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, relative to the size of the federal government's budget, as a sign that the fiscal situation is unlikely to change any time soon. 'There's a bipartisan agreement to do nothing about the deficit until we actually get to the next crisis,' Einhorn said. The hedge fund manager said that gold and other defensive positions have helped Greenlight have a strong start to the year. Reuters reported in April that Greenlight gained 8.2% in the first quarter, citing an investor letter. The S&P 500 fell more than 4% during the same period. Einhorn did clarify that he does not view gold as an inflation bet. However, in a related trade, Einhorn said he has positions on long-duration inflation swaps, which serve as a bet that prices will rise faster than the market expects. 'All of these behaviors ultimately lead to inflation, and higher inflation,' Einhorn said. The comments came on the sidelines of the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, where Einhorn had earlier unveiled his new investment in a German chemical company. READ SOURCE

Greenlight introduces 'Family Shield' plan
Greenlight, the award-winning money and safety app for families, today announced the launch of Family Shield, its newest subscription plan designed to help caregivers protect seniors from financial fraud and ensure their physical safety. 0 This first-of-its-kind product streamlines financial account monitoring and alerts, provides protections against fraud (including deceptive transfer fraud2), identity theft2, and money management errors, and offers remote features to help ensure senior safety.1 There has been a massive rise in financial and digital threats, including scams, identity theft, fraud, and age-related money management mistakes, with financial exploitation costing adults 60 and over an estimated $62 billion in 2023. Additionally, personal safety issues are on the rise with more than 200,000 adults 65 and older injured in car crashes each year, and adults simultaneously caring for their children and aging parents, are increasingly overburdened by managing these risks. Greenlight's Family Shield plan is helping solve the problem by protecting vulnerable, aging parents or dependent adult loved ones' finances and health through new financial protections and real-time location alerts. Key features include: Financial account monitoring and fraud and scam alerts: Caregivers can link their senior loved ones' accounts — including checking, savings, investing, and credit cards —and get alerts for suspicious activity like suspected fraud, scams, or financial mistakes. They can also view balance and transaction details in one dashboard and add another adult for extra oversight. Deceptive transfer fraud and identity theft insurance coverage2: If a family member is convinced to send money to an imposter acting as a trusted person or business, deceptive transfer fraud insurance may help reimburse them up to $100K. If a family member's identity is used to take out loans, apply for credit cards, or apply for financial services under their name, recover expenses up to $1M. Credit, identity, and dark web monitoring: Family Shield also provides timely alerts for suspicious activity related to identity or personal data usage so families can act quickly if their accounts are compromised. Personal safety and connection: Caregivers can see their senior loved ones' locations and get alerts when they arrive and leave places — including hospitals, community centers, banks, or their homes. With SOS alerts and crash detection with 911 dispatch, older adults can get help in an emergency, and when they are on the road, caregivers can track their trip status and safety through real-time alerts and driving reports. Greenlight debit card: Caregivers can choose to get a debit card for their senior loved ones with spend controls and money transfers, real-time transaction alerts, and purchase protection3 — ensuring their older loved ones are spending safely and wisely. Educational resources for caregiving: Caregivers often feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin with legal, financial, and daily tasks. Family Shield offers comprehensive guides, FAQs, tips, and checklists to help caregivers proactively teach senior loved ones how to prevent scams and money mishaps. 'Greenlight's Family Shield plan was inspired by families who were already adapting our tools to care for seniors,' said Tim Sheehan, co-founder and CEO of Greenlight. 'By listening to their needs and learning about their challenges, we identified an opportunity to elevate our mission, empowering families to navigate money and life together across all generations.' Greenlight's award-winning debit card and money app has helped more than 6.5 million parents and kids manage family finances safely while learning critical financial skills like how to earn, save, spend wisely, and invest. With Family Shield, you can now protect your senior loved ones and make the financial caregiving experience more manageable and rewarding. Starting today, Greenlight Family Shield is available via the app or online here: In addition, the 100+ financial institutions that already partner with Greenlight will now have the chance to offer their clients enhanced protection for their senior loved ones.
