Sept. 28, 2025, 6:01 AM EDTBy Andrew GreifOne month to the day after the divorce heard around the NFL, here comes the reunion.Week 4 of the NFL season is highlighted by the potential drama in Dallas when pass rusher Micah Parsons returns to face the Cowboys four weeks after an impasse in contract negotiations led Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones to deal away the team’s defensive cornerstone to Green Bay.Myriad other factors could affect whether the Packers (2-1) or Cowboys (1-2) win, from whether Green Bay can move the ball as it did during its 2-0 start, to the viability of a Dallas defense that has been shredded for yards and points in each of the past two weeks.Yet the spotlight on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” of course, will center on cutaway shots of Parsons on the field and Jones in the owner’s box, a distance that is representative of the way both grew apart. Parsons, the 12th overall pick of the Cowboys in 2021, had long been complimentary of Jones during his first four NFL seasons. In the spring, Jones suggested the feeling was mutual, telling reporters that the defender was one of only three people with his personal cellphone number.But as Parsons became the first defender since Reggie White to record a dozen or more sacks in each of his first four seasons and pushed for a contract extension, Jones didn’t quickly make a deal to keep Parsons in Dallas for the long term.In July, as the Cowboys opened training camp, fans yelled “Pay Micah!” as Jones addressed a crowd. Three weeks later, while Jones was addressing another group of Cowboys fans before a practice, cries of “We want Micah!” could be heard. Jones reportedly believed he had negotiated a deal with Parsons through discussions with the player himself; when Parsons reportedly requested that his agent be included, Jones balked.“The issue very frankly is we’ve had the negotiation in my mind, and the agent’s trying to get his nose in it right now and try to come in there and improve off the market we had already set,” Jones told former Cowboys wideout Michael Irvin on a podcast before the trade.Jones has a history of attempting to hammer out contracts directly with players and bypassing their agents, but in the case of Parsons, “this did get personal,” ESPN reporter Adam Schefter said on the day of the trade.“It was nothing personal,” Jones said this week on a Texas radio show. “I told you, I liked Micah. … As much as people wanted to make that of it, there was no issue regarding feelings relative to the negotiations. Certainly not on my part. It was just par for the course. And the facts are the negotiation was ongoing.”Parsons has said he never wanted to leave Dallas, but in Green Bay, he received not only a warm welcome as a potential missing piece for the Super Bowl candidate but also a four-year, $188 million deal.Any goodwill toward Jones for the trade was not helped when Green Bay started hot — after opening 2-0, Packers fans thanked Jones for the deal — while the Cowboys struggled. His modest counting statistics with the Packers while playing through a back injury — 1 ½ sacks, five tackles — have often belied the way his threat to rush can have a larger effect. With Parsons on the field, the Packers have allowed 3.6 yards per play and a passer rating of a minuscule 63.0; when he is off the field, those numbers increase to 4.0 yards per play, and a 107.4 passer rating, according to NBC Sports research.“It’s gonna be painful” to potentially sack former teammate and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Parsons told The Associated Press this week.“I accepted my fate weeks ago when the trade happened. For me, it’s just all about playing another game and doing what I do best, and that’s being a disruptive football player. I think the media and the fans are trying to blow it up to be such a big thing. But I just look at it as just another game at AT&T [Stadium].”Jones made headlines in early August, shortly after Parsons demanded a trade, when he remarked that it was good for business that his franchise was “a soap opera 365 days a year.” That continues this week when Parsons returns to Dallas — where the Cowboys will not welcome him with a videoboard tribute.“That’s not to diminish Micah,” Jones said this week. “I think Micah’s got enough welcome out there.”More from SportsFor the second straight year, a New York Giants castoff is an MVP candidateFamous for losing leads, the Chargers might finally be trusted as a title contenderThe Lions are back to being the Lions — and this time, that’s a good thingWhat we’re watching for in Week 4:Minnesota (2-1) at Pittsburgh (2-1): The first NFL regular-season game ever played in Ireland features the Vikings — who are 4-0 in international games — and backup Carson Wentz, who won his debut stepping in for J.J. McCarthy last week. But Wentz has not won consecutive starts since 2021.Washington (2-1) at Atlanta (1-2): Falcons running back Bijan Robinson’s 403 yards from scrimmage rank second in the league, but will Atlanta’s passing game click? QB Michael Penix Jr. has gone two straight games with less than 200 yards of total offense.New Orleans (0-3) at Buffalo (3-0): Bills QB Josh Allen has not turned the ball over in eight consecutive games, including the playoffs. If the Saints lose, it will be their eighth straight loss, the franchise’s longest losing streak since 1980. Cleveland (1-2) at Detroit (2-1): The Browns’ defense has allowed the fewest yards of any team. Myles Garrett needs two sacks to pass Reggie White as the record holder for most sacks by the age of 30.Carolina (1-2) at New England (1-2): Can the Patriots win at home? Since 2023, they own the NFL’s worst winning percentage at home (3-16). Can QB Drake Maye hold on to the ball? He’s lost seven fumbles since the start of last season.Los Angeles Chargers (3-0) at New York Giants (0-3): Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart gets his first carer start. Chargers receiver Keenan Allen needs seven catches to reach 1,000 for his career. If he reaches 1,000 in his next eight games, Allen will become the fastest wideout ever to crack four digits.Philadelphia (3-0) at Tampa Bay (3-0): There is no team more clutch than the Buccaneers, who have won with three consecutive comebacks. They’ve done it in part by failing to turn over the ball once, one of three teams, joining Buffalo and Indianapolis, who have done that.Tennessee (0-3) at Houston (0-3): Time is running out on postseason ambitions. In NFL history, only the 1992 Chargers started 0-4 and went on to make the playoffs.Indianapolis (3-0) at Los Angeles Rams (2-1): The Rams, whose 12 sacks lead the NFL, must get pressure on Colts quarterback Daniel Jones while still finding ways to stop Jonathan Taylor, the only running back averaging more than 100 yards per game.Jacksonville (2-1) at San Francisco (3-0): The Jaguars lead the league with three takeaways per game.Baltimore (1-2) at Kansas City (1-2): Who in the preseason could have envisioned one of these teams with a 1-3 record? Baltimore is here despite leading the NFL in scoring. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is 1-5 against Kansas City.Chicago (1-2) at Las Vegas (1-2): Since the start of last season, the Bears are 1-8 on the road.Green Bay (2-1) at Dallas (1-2): The Packers’ defense has yet to allow an opponent to score more than 20 points. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have allowed 720 passing yards during their last two games.New York Jets (0-3) at Miami (0-3) on Monday: Neither of these teams has produced a takeaway this season. The only other team yet to record either a fumble or interception is Washington.Cincinnati (2-1) at Denver (1-2) on Monday: The Bengals have committed the most turnovers (five interceptions and three fumbles), yet have a winning record.Andrew GreifAndrew Greif is a sports reporter for NBC News Digital.

Sept. 22, 2025, 11:20 AM EDTBy Edwin Flores, Morgan Radford and Aaron FrancoYou’ve heard of pickleball, the wildly popular sport that’s gone mainstream. But now there’s padel — another racket sport that’s surging in popularity and one that has strong Latino roots.“It’s a sport that always keeps you on your toes,” said Roy Tabet, a professional padel player and a coach at Reserve Padel, one of the biggest luxury padel brands in the U.S., with clubs in Miami and New York. Tabet said he had played tennis his whole life but started finding it repetitive.“I started playing padel and I immediately felt the passion. The hype for the game was real,” he said in an interview with the “TODAY” show’s Morgan Radford.Morgan Radford and Santiago Gomez at Padel Haus in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y.NBC NewsPadel got its start in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1969 when Enrique Corcuera, a Mexican businessman, was trying to build a makeshift tennis court in his backyard. He didn’t have enough space and chose to make a smaller version — the very first padel court — with a distinguishing feature: It was surrounded by an almost 10-foot wall.The sport would eventually grow and spread internationally. It’s now described as the fastest-growing sport worldwide. The International Padel Federation says padel is played in more than 140 countries around the world with about 30 million amateur players.Currently in the U.S., there are over 100,000 amateur players, according to PadelUSA, an online marketplace for padel equipment, but the number of padel courts has been increasing.The sport’s growing popularity has even captured the attention of athletes and celebrities like Eva Longoria, Derek Jeter, Jimmy Butler and Adam Levine.“It’s like pickleball but kind of a little cooler,” Levine told Jimmy Fallon in April on “The Tonight Show.” “It’s super fun,” the singer added, explaining he was first introduced to the sport by Michael Bublé, his fellow coach on “The Voice,” when they were vacationing together in Mexico.Padel differs from other racket sports in that the court is about one-third the size of a tennis court and is typically surrounded by a glass or mesh wall. The ball can be hit off the walls and even from outside the court, as players can exit the court through a door to return the ball. Players must have a teammate, as the sport can only be played in doubles.A big draw, fans say, is the community it fosters as well as the game’s fast pace.“What got me hooked is the community. I feel like I met a lot of my best friends here, so coming to see them specifically turned into my love for playing padel,” Rachel Kuan, who’s now a customer experiences employee at Reserve Padel, told “TODAY.” Santiago Gomez, who fell in love with the game while growing up in Acapulco, founded Padel Haus, a sprawling padel social and cultural hub located in New York City — and among the first dedicated padel courts in the U.S. Padel Haus has since opened more courts across the New York City area as well as in Atlanta, Nashville and Denver.“A lot of Latinos were first — they were the first ones to come because they play the sport at home,” Gomez said.“Americans didn’t know about the sport when we first opened in 2022,” he said. “And then after that, a lot of tennis players, former tennis players, former squash players — Americans — came and tried it for the first time and they fully converted to padel.”Gomez estimates that about 70% of Padel Haus’ members are from the U.S. while the remaining 30% hail from other countries. The growth has increased so significantly that there’s now a waitlist for people looking to sign up.Fast pace ‘keeps you hooked’In addition to the social aspect of the game, Gomez said it’s addictive because of how fast-paced it can get compared to other racket sports.“[In tennis], a ball passes you, your mind is wired to think that the point is over. But here, given the wall’s in the back, you can still save the point. So you feel like a hero when you’re catching a ball that you couldn’t catch in tennis,” Gomez said.“You’re still in the game, and that gives you [a] big dopamine rush and that’s what keeps you hooked.”Mexican tennis player Yola Ramirez competing in the women’s singles tournament at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, on July 1,1959.Evening Standard / Hulton Archive/Getty Images fileThe International Padel Federation is working on getting the sport included in the 2032 Olympics. But for some like Marnie Perez-Ochoa, whose grandmother Yola Ramirez was a former professional tennis player from Mexico and grandfather built Padel courts for professional tournaments in Acapulco, the game has also become a point of cultural pride.“The power of sport is so prevalent — it’s just now getting started in the States. You see it in Mexico. It already boomed in Europe — Spain in particular. So I’m really excited to see where it’s going to go in the States. And I think it’s really beautiful that it started in Mexico,” Perez-Ochoa said.Edwin FloresEdwin Flores was a former reporter and video producer based in Anaheim, California. Morgan RadfordAaron Franco
