According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, the Dallas Cowboys have signed kicker Brandon Aubrey from the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions. Aubrey made 14 of 15 field goal chances and all 35 PATs in 2023 with the Stallions. Aubrey was a star high school soccer player at Plano Senior before attending Notre Dame to continue his playing career. After his collegiate career ended, Aubrey was selected with Toronto FC’s 21st pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft before becoming a kicker for the Stallions in 2022. The Cowboys are looking for a kicker to replace Brett Maher, the Cowboys kicker from last season who went 29-for-32 on field goal opportunities and 50-for-53 on PATs during the 2022 regular season. Despite his regular season performance Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said the team is starting over at kicker for the upcoming season after Maher’s disastrous playoffs. In the Cowboys’ wildcard game against Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Maher missed four PATs in one game setting an NFL record for most misses in a single playoff game. Maher also missed a PAT the following week in the Cowboys’ season-ending loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the NFL playoffs. The Cowboys have Tristan Vizcaino and Aubrey as the only kickers on their roster but could still sign a veteran free agent.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
