Arlington is the best street course circuit and event we have in IndyCar right now. It is the benchmark when it comes to the size of the circuit size, the IndyCar paddock, the suites and the overall experience. It really is the complete package, and that showed today with the sold-out crowd.
Brandon Aubrey has been a front office's dream since joining as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He was a First-Team All-Pro that year, made Second-Team the last two years, and has naturally been to the Pro Bowl each of those seasons.
McCarthy stated, 'He just needed a reset for his family, frankly I had just went through the same thing in '19. I thought it was really good for him, personally, really good for his family, and look what it did. It springboarded him right back in as an offensive coordinator.'
AT&T Stadium's retractable dome and climate control create ideal July conditions in a state where outdoor summer football constitutes punishment. The 60-yard video screen is so infamous that punted footballs occasionally strike it during Cowboys games. It dominates the interior and is a show stopper, especially for the stadium's first-time goers. The capacity makes this the tournament's largest venue, though FIFA caps attendance at 94,000 for World Cup configurations.
Gary is expected to provide solid edge play against the run while sprinkling in some decent pass rush. Thompson is a versatile safety who will play multiple roles in Christian Parker's defense. Earlier this week we asked you to grade these acquisitions.
Steele remains what he's always been, a strong run blocker with more lapses in pass protection than you'd generally like to see. His strengths and weaknesses are better suited to what Brian Schottenheimer and Klayton Adams are doing offensively, which improved his long-term outlook. His warts become even more tolerable now after the pay cut, dropping his total contract value by about $12-$15 million.
The most notable deals to happen at the running back position on Monday involved Kenneth Walker and Travis Etienne. The former, coming off of a Super Bowl MVP performance with the Seattle Seahawks, agreed to a 3-year, $45M deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. Shortly after Etienne agreed to a 4-year, $52M deal with the Saints.
The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl LX champions, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 to cap off a dominating playoff run that ended with them hoisting the Lombardi trophy for the second time in franchise history - and in familiar fashion. It was the Seahawks "Legion of Boom" defense that won Super Bowl XLVIII with a 43-8 rout of the Denver Broncos, and while the 2025 Seahawks defense doesn't have quite as cool of a nickname, they were equally impressive.
The 43-year-old Wisconsin native and former NFL safety is Denver's assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator, and he's risen through the ranks quickly to earn those titles. Hired in 2024 by the Broncos as the defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator, he's already seen a promotion in Mile High, and was a college assistant as recently as 2023 with the Illinois Fighting Illini.
