Hamilton's Matt Campbell defeats Jim Long in all-Canadian darts final
NEW YORK - Matt (Ginjaninja) Campbell became the first player to retain the bet365 North American Darts Championship title when he defeated (Gentleman) Jim Long 6-3 in an all-Canadian final Saturday. The 35-year-old from Hamilton, who earned US$10,000 in taking the title, also won the event a year ago at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Campbell, ranked 53rd in the world, came from a leg down to lead 3-1 in the final. After Long, No. 109 on the PDC Order of Merit, cut the lead to one leg, it was Campbell who posted a pair of double-top checkouts to close out the victory. 'It's awesome,' said Campbell. 'I was pretty happy but the final was a bit rough, playing a good buddy.' Campbell and Long teamed up to represent Canada at last month's World Cup of Darts in Germany. Campbell defeated Jason Brandon 6-1 in the quarterfinal and Stowe Buntz 6-2 in the semifinal. Long, who won his PDC Tour Card in January to join Campbell as the only Canadians on tour, defeated Adam Sevada 6-4 in his opening tie Saturday and then dispatched American No. 1 Danny Lauby 6-1 in the semifinal. 'I feel terrible to be honest,' said the 57-year-old Long, a retired autoworker from London, Ont. 'I just couldn't get it going — maybe I was trying too hard. 'Matt and I are great buddies. We played together like for years before he got his Tour Card and we practised together. That was just a hard final to play.' The tournament winner normally earns a place in the World Darts Championship and Grand Slam of Darts by virtue of the success. But with Campbell ranked in the world's top 64, he is already eligible. The qualifying place in the World Darts Championship will now go to the top-ranked non-qualified player on the final 2025 CDC ProTour Order of Merit, while the 2025 CDC Continental Cup winner will compete in the Grand Slam of Darts.

Eagles' Hated Rival Gives Shocking Love To 'Aggressive' Fanbase
Eagles' Hated Rival Gives Shocking Love To 'Aggressive' Fanbase originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Philadelphia Eagles fans are known for many things. Their passion and loyalty can sometimes be seen as overly aggressive and hostile to opposing players and fans. Advertisement Yes, you. And … Not everyone is comfortable with how Eagles fans react during or after games. Those that do, though, are given their props by the fanbase for years afterward. That happened with Los Angeles Rams defensive rookie of the year Jared Verse. After two meetings last year, the former first-round edge rusher has endeared himself to the Eagles and their fans. Before the two teams faced off in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, Verse made it clear that he "hated" Eagle fans. He backed up that talk in a two-sack effort despite his team losing 28-22. Since that loss, Verse's hatred for the opposing fans hasn't changed, but he has a new-found and shocking respect for the millions around the country who cheer on Philadelphia. Advertisement In an interview with Casey Rieger of Whistle Sports this week, Verse called the Eagles' fanbase the toughest crowd to play in front of. "Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say, and they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff," Verse said. "Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed the line.' But they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?'" Verse is not the first, nor will he be the last player to have a complicated relationship with Philadelphia. From Hall-of-Famers to bottom-of-the roster individuals alike, Lincoln Financial Field has become a house of horrors for many in football. But there is a silver lining to Verse's comments. Advertisement Because the Florida State product not only talked the talk but also walked the walk in his two matchups against Philly, Eagle fans everywhere have a certain respect for the defensive star. "I legitimately like Jared Verse. Dudes a dawg and I love his attitude," one fan on X/Twitter said after Verse's comments. Playing in Philadelphia is not easy for an opposing team, but Verse's performance last season will endear him to those fans going forward. And will add new intrigue to their upcoming regular season matchup in Week 3.
