The star cornerback could reportedly be on his way out of Philadelphia after the club reportedly gave him permission to seek a trade.
In the aftermath of the Eagles reportedly giving Darius Slay permission to seek a trade, the news of the star cornerback’s sudden availability has apparently caught the eye of one his closest former teammates, Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs.

Steve Weisfeld is one of only a few hundred licensed boxing judges in the United States. The job is an unglamorous, but critical, part of the sport.
Steve Weisfeld can trace his interest in boxing judging to the day: Jan. 24, 1976. It was the day his grandmother, Dora, passed away. Also that day: George Foreman, in his first fight after losing his heavyweight titles to Muhammad Ali, faced Ron Lyle. Weisfeld’s family, grieving, watched Foreman pick up a fifth-round knockout. They enjoyed the action. A 10-year-old Weisfeld wondered how it was being scored.

Matt Fitzpatrick missed the cut here at the Players Championship on Friday, but was then unerring with his accuracy in taking dead aim at the PGA Tour and its ‘strategic alliance” with his home circuit.

There’s nothing quite like watching Jordan Spieth play a round of golf. Each time he tees it up it’s a four-hour rollercoaster, and his second round at The Players on Friday was a wild ride.
After a 3-under 69 on Thursday, Spieth came out firing with two straight birdies to start his second round. That momentum was squandered just three holes later with a double bogey on 14 – his fifth hole of the day – before he made the turn at one-over on the day.
