NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell welcomes fans to the 2025 NFL Draft before the first round on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The draft runs through April 26. Tork Mason/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin NFL team owners are expected to vote in favor of allowing players to compete in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics during Tuesday’s spring league meeting in Minneapolis, ESPN reported.
At least 24 of the 32 team owners need to approve the resolution.
Should that be the case, the league will then need to come to terms with the NFL Players Association as well as the International Olympic Committee.
Also on the table is the Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the “tush push” short-yardage play commonly used by the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as the Detroit Lions’ request to reseed playoff teams based on their regular-season record. ESPN, however, reported that those votes are not expected until Wednesday.
Should the flag football proposal be approved, it would permit no more than one player from each NFL team to participate. It also would allow a team’s designated international player to play for his home country.
The NFL proposal includes a few caveats that would protect teams in case of injuries, including providing salary cap credit for any players hurt while participating and establishing “certain minimum standards for medical staff and field surfaces.”
The 2028 Summer Games are scheduled to take place from July 14-30, 2028. NFL players generally are off during most of that period before the start of training camp.

Hurricanes vs. Panthers scores, schedule, odds, where to watch as Florida hammers Carolina 5-2 in Game 1
Getty Images The Florida Panthers have a 1-0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final. Just two days after winning Game 7 in Toronto in blowout fashion, the Panthers smothered the Hurricanes with a 5-2 win in Game 1.As was to be expected, there wasn't much room for either team in this matchup. Still, the Panthers seemed to find a little more daylight in and around the net. That was certainly the case when Carter Verhaeghe opened the scoring for Florida.With the Panthers on the power play, Verhaeghe got the puck in the low slot, went to his backhand and lifted a perfect shot over the shoulder of Frederik Andersen to give the Cats a 1-0 lead. Verhaeghe finished with two points on the night, as did Evan Rodrigues, who assisted on Aaron Ekblad's first-period goal. […]

Großer Karriere-Rückblick – Die Bam-Bam-Bilanz
Das letzte Bum-Bum von Bam-Bam! Am Wochenende kann Kiel-Legende Patrick Wiencek (36) bei den EHF Finals in Hamburg seinen 22. – und letzten Titel – einer herausragenden Karriere holen. Im Sommer hört er nach 17 Jahren auf. In SPORT BILD blickt er schon mal zurück und spricht über …► seinen ersten Titel: „Ich wurde in der C-Jugend mit dem MSV Duisburg Niederrhein-Meister – der einzige Titel, den ich im Jugendbereich im Klub geholt habe. Und dann im Juniorenbereich 2009 die WM in Kairo mit dem Titel im Finale gegen Dänemark (32:24; d. Red.). Für mich war das komplettes Neuland. Ich war vorher nie in Jugendnationalmannschaften oder der Niederrhein-Auswahl, weil ich nicht den Anforderungen des DHB entsprochen habe. Das Handballspielen war zwar wichtig, aber nicht die Hauptsache. Man musste athletisch sein, auch fitnessmäßig gut dabei. Deshalb hatte ich es wohl nicht […]
