Rush is 9-2 as a starter against teams that are not the Eagles. Key matchup Dallas’s rushing defense vs. Barkley. Can anyone stop him? The Cowboys will be the latest to try to corral Barkley, who has 1,838 rushing yards and 2,114 scrimmage yards, both of which lead the NFL. Dallas ranks 28th in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing an average of 135.9 yards a game. Philadelphia, behind Barkley’s stellar play, tops the league at 187.9 yards a game on the ground. Key injuries Cowboys: WR CeeDee Lamb will miss the final two games after getting shut down over the sprained right shoulder he's been dealing with the second half of the season. ... LB Eric Kendricks (calf) warmed up but wasn’t able to play against Tampa Bay last week. Eagles: Hurts is in concussion protocol after leaving the game following a 13-yard scramble with 9:52 left in the first quarter last week. ... DE Josh Sweat (ankle) and Jordan Davis also left the game at Washington early. ... QB Ian Book was signed to the practice squad Thursday. Series notes The Cowboys made the playoffs in each of the previous three seasons, but were eliminated prior to their game against Tampa Bay last week when the Commanders came back from a 13-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat Philadelphia. ... Dallas is 5-2 on the road. ... The Eagles can clinch the NFC East and one of the conference's top two seeds with a victory. ... On Jan. 11, 1981, the Eagles defeated the Cowboys 20-7 at their former home, Veterans Stadium. Wilbert Montgomery rushed for a 42-yard touchdown to give Philadelphia an early lead that propelled the Eagles to their first Super Bowl appearance. Stats and stuff LB Micah Parsons needs half a sack to reach double digits in sacks for the fourth straight season to begin his career and would become just the fifth player to accomplish the feat in NFL history. ...

Kenny Pickett went 14 of 24 for 143 yards and a TD in relief of Hurts last week. If he can’t go because of the rib injury and Hurts remains unavailable, Philadelphia could turn to third-stringer Tanner McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick. Pickett, a 2022 first-round pick, is no stranger to starting, going 14-10 as Pittsburgh’s QB earlier in his career. ... Defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected against Washington for committing two unsportsmanlike penalties. ... The Eagles already set a team record for rushing yards in a season with 2,818, and they are within four rushing touchdowns of tying the club’s best single-season mark of 32, set in 2022. ... Barkley needs just 33 yards from scrimmage to break McCoy’s mark of 2,146 scrimmage yards, set in 2013. ... WR A.J. Brown leads the NFL with 16.3 yards a catch and ranks ninth in the league with 1,043 receiving yards, joining Mike Quick (1983–85) as the only Philadelphia players to have three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Fantasy tip Philadelphia’s defense is tied for ninth in the NFL with a plus-6 turnover margin. With Hurts possibly sidelined, Philadelphia giving up an uncharacteristic 36 points last week and the chance to clinch the division, the Eagles defense likely will be extra motivated to have a good performance against a Dallas offense that ranks 21st in the league in points. ___ AP NFL: The Associated PressNoneGophers QB Max Brosmer commits to play in bowl game

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1% and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%. Trading volume was lighter than usual as US markets reopened following the Christmas holiday.

Tripadvisor Announces Participation at Upcoming ConferencePam Bondi, Donald Trump's pick to be attorney general, is a staunch ally of the former president, defending him against impeachment during his first term and pushing his false claims of election fraud as he sought to cling on to the White House. The 59-year-old former Florida attorney general, if confirmed by the Senate, will now serve as the top law enforcement official in a second Trump administration. "For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans -- Not anymore," Trump wrote on his Truth Social network. "Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again." Bondi's nomination means the top ranks of the Justice Department will be filled by Trump loyalists, as the president-elect has named three of the lawyers who defended him in his multiple criminal cases to its other high-ranking roles. Trump tapped Bondi to be attorney general on Thursday after his first pick, firebrand ex-Florida lawmaker Matt Gaetz, dropped out amid sexual misconduct allegations and doubts that he could obtain Senate confirmation. A graduate of the University of Florida with a law degree from Stetson University, Bondi served as a prosecutor for 18 years before being elected attorney general of the "Sunshine State" in 2010, the first woman to hold the post. Bondi, a native of Trump's adopted home state of Florida, was reelected to a second term in 2014. As attorney general, Bondi notably fought opioid addiction and human trafficking while taking a tough stance on crime and supporting the death penalty. She sued BP for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and obtained more than $2 billion in economic relief for Florida, according to her biography page at Ballard Partners, a powerful lobbying firm where she has worked after leaving office. While serving as attorney general, Bondi was drawn into a controversy involving Trump when she declined in 2013 to join a multi-state prosecution accusing Trump University of fraud. It emerged later that Bondi's reelection committee had received a $25,000 donation from the charitable Trump Foundation. Both Trump and Bondi denied any wrongdoing. Bondi joined Trump's legal team during his first impeachment trial, in which he was alleged to have pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to find political dirt on his 2020 election opponent, Democrat Joe Biden. Trump was impeached by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives but acquitted by the Republican-majority Senate. After the 2020 election, Bondi made television appearances on behalf of Trump and pushed to de-legitimize vote counting in battleground states as part of the push by the former president to overturn the results of the vote. Bondi has also criticized the criminal cases brought against Trump, appearing in solidarity at his New York trial, where he was convicted of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star. At Ballard Partners, Bondi has done work for Amazon, General Motors and Uber and as a registered lobbyist for the oil-rich Gulf nation of Qatar, according to press reports. She is also a member of the America First Policy Institute, a Trump-aligned right-wing think tank. cl/dw
Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. stock falls Friday, underperforms marketABC's "Shark Tank" has seen a wide range of mobile apps come through the show that are all meant to solve some type of problem. In the ninth episode of Season 9, Wall Street worker turned comedian Brendan Alper shared his solution to modern dating problems: an app that allows its users to bond over things they both don't like, Hater. The app had over 3,000 prompts that range from politics to food that users must swipe either "hate" or "love." Then the app would use its algorithm to match users with other haters with similar views. The app was based on studies that show that people often connect over a mutual dislike of something. The Sharks were immediately intrigued with the concept and ended up fighting to invest in Hater, which saw over 500,000 downloads when it debuted just before Valentine's Day in 2017. But just like many other popular apps, Hater saw a rapid decline and wasn't able to find a successful way to make a profit. Even with billionaire Mark Cuban's support, Hater couldn't find a way to survive past 2018. Here's what led to Hater's rapid downfall after "Shark Tank." Founder Alper entered the tank with a pitch for his negative spin on dating apps, explaining that users will find love by connecting over their dislikes. Alper told the sharks that people often feel the need to appear positive on dating apps, while Hater lets them authentically dislike things together, promising more genuine matches. The concept started off as a joke, but Alper was later convinced by his friends to go all in on the app — and even cashed in his entire savings to fund the app. He went in asking the sharks or $200,000 for 5% equity of Hater. The app received offers from Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, and Barbara Corcoran — but Alper ultimately went with Cuban, who is no stranger to funding apps . Cuban counter-offered $200,000 in exchange for a 7.5% equity stake, despite Alper admitting to the app only have 8,000 to 10,000 active users by that time. On the episode , Alper said, "Going in, I really wanted Mark. He has experience in the technology space, and he has the connections that can really take Hater to the next level." The Hater app saw a rapid decline, even after an appearance on "Shark Tank." A deal was officially made with Cuban, who even made his own dating profile on the app as part of his push. However, Hater left app stores and deleted its social media profiles by 2019, just a year and a half after the episode premiered. Cuban doesn't have the product listed as one of the companies he invested in on his website. This isn't the case with all apps that appear on "Shark Tank," however, with apps like HoneyFund still in business . It's not totally clear exactly what caused Hater to not get the users it needed to thrive in the dating app space, but it appears to be due to a lack of profit. Alper admitted to CNBC that the app wasn't making any profit as of 2017, but he had plans to implement paid premium subscriptions and advertisements by 2018. This never happened in the end, but it's unclear why. At this point, Alper has completely moved on from Hater. The Goldman Sachs finance worker turned comedian turned app entrepreneur may have left Hater behind, but he isn't done with business ideas just yet. On Alper's X, formally Twitter, profile bio , he includes a link to a new business called Everbloom. He hasn't updated X much, but the website for Everbloom is still active and updated. It reveals a business focused on providing funding for content creators, largely on YouTube, who want to grow views by expanding their team, launching a product, or film a larger production. Past clients even include Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, a YouTuber with 335 million subscribers. On June 21, 2023, Everbloom kicked off its first investor payout, sharing 10% of YouTuber AveryB's quarterly earnings to over 100 investors. Everbloom also added Mario Joos, MrBeast's former retention director, as an advisor. With big names behind the company and even larger creators growing thanks to various marketing support from Everbloom's team, the project received $3 million in funding at that point.
