NFL News

The Dallas Cowboys shook the NFL this afternoon with a blockbuster trade. Dallas sent four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first round picks.

ESPN reports that Parsons agreed to a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Parsons requested a trade from the Cowboys on Aug. 1 after months of stalled contract negotiations, but owner and general manager Jerry Jones said they wouldn’t trade him.

The 26-year-old Parsons has racked up at least 12 sacks in each of his first four seasons.

Sounders News

The Sounders are on their way to the Leagues Cup Championship.

Seattle blanked the LA Galaxy 2-0 last night in the tournament semifinals. It served as revenge for the Galaxy bouncing them in last year’s MLS Cup semis.

Pedro de la Vega and Osaze De Rosario each scored to help the Sounders remain unbeaten in the tournament and secure a spot in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.

Seattle will now host soccer legend Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup Championship this weekend. Messi returned from injury to score twice in Miami’s 3-1 win over Orlando yesterday.

Their final match takes place at 5:00 on Sunday at Lumen Field.

Seahawks News

The Seahawks unveiled a dazzling new jersey this morning.

The team revealed their “Rivalries” alternate uniform for their Week 16 home game against the Los Angeles Rams. The jerseys feature wolf grey jerseys and pants with iridescent green numbers that reflect differently based on how light hits them.

The uniform will feature a 12s patch, as well as a 12 pattern in the jersey numbers that will reflect in the light, and the helmet bumpers will have the phrase “12 As One” on the back of the helmet.  There are also soundwave details on the shoulders and down the pantlegs to represent the loudest fans in the NFL.

Mariners News

The Mariners have the day off today as they enter the home stretch of their playoff push.

Seattle owns a 72-62 record with just 28 games left to play in the regular season. They currently sit two games back of the first-place Houston Astros in the American League West division and hold a three-game lead over the Kansas City Royals for the final wild card spot.

They’re about to embark on their penultimate road trip of the season, starting tomorrow with the Cleveland Guardians. Coverage begins at 3:00 and first pitch is at 4:10 on KPUG with George Kirby taking the mound for Seattle.

Storm News

The Storm are also entering the home stretch of their season. They currently sit a game and half over the Los Angeles Sparks for the eighth and final playoff spot in the WNBA with just five games left in the regular season.

The Storm held firm playoff positioning for nearly the entire season before they started August off with an untimely six-game skid. They’ll look to make their case for a postseason spot tonight against the Western Conference-leading Minnesota Lynx in their final road game of the season.

The game tips off at 5:00 from the Target Center.
