    Boca Juniors to Temporarily Play Home Games at Huracán's Stadium Due to La Bombonera's Poor Field Condition

    Boca Juniors will temporarily move its home games from La Bombonera to Huracán's Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium due to the poor condition of the playing field. The decision comes after the grass showed severe deterioration following reseeding work, making it unfit for official matches. The move will initially cover matches against Estudiantes and Vélez in the Clausura Tournament and could extend to the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 against Deportivo Recoleta.

    Eagles' Jalen Carter Contract Includes $250K Annual 'Weight Bonus'

    The Philadelphia Eagles have signed defensive tackle Jalen Carter to a record-setting deal, with his contract including an unusual provision: a $250,000 annual 'weight bonus'. The specific weight limit and compliance timeline are currently unknown. Carter is officially listed at 314 pounds, but he weighed nine pounds more at his Pro Day. This incentive suggests the team has some off-field concerns about Carter's weight management. Despite this, Eagles GM Howie Roseman has stated that they have no off-field concerns about Carter.
