Nick Sirianni becomes baby namesake after Eagles' Super Bowl glory sparks emotional tribute from L.A. family
Fans often find unique ways to celebrate their passion — jerseys, tattoos, even elaborate game-day rituals. But for Jazmine Jackson and Eric Estrada, the birth of their daughter in April 2025 marked the beginning of a legacy unlike any other.
They named her Sirianni — after none other than Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni — a decision born out of love, loyalty, and a little bit of football magic.
Baby Sirianni
: How a Super Bowl victory inspired one family to immortalize an NFL coach's legacy
It all started as a joke. Last July, when Jazmine learned she was expecting, her sister Tyquanique — a long-time Eagles devotee — casually suggested naming the baby Sirianni. But the joke quickly turned into something far more meaningful. 'No, I'm going to call her Sirianni,' Jazmine told her sister, laying claim to a name that would ultimately carry deep emotional and symbolic value.
Though neither Jazmine nor Tyquanique hails from Philadelphia, the bond they share with the Eagles runs deep. From their home base in Los Angeles, the sisters have built a ritual around every game — waking at dawn to line up for 10 a.m. kickoffs at the IMAX-style Cosm theater in Inglewood. Even during pregnancy, Jazmine stood in those lines, weathering the discomfort just to feel a part of the action. 'Since I can't fly, because I'm pregnant, I got to get the whole experience,' she said.
'It felt like you were behind the players on the field.'
Baby Sirianni, still in the womb, was along for every moment of the Eagles' triumphant Super Bowl LIX campaign — a season defined by grit, unity, and the steady leadership of their head coach. Nick Sirianni had recently inked a multi-year extension with the team, having racked up an impressive 48-20 record, two NFC championships, and a Super Bowl title. For the Jackson family, that leadership went beyond the field.
'Sirianni stands his ground, win or lose,' Tyquanique told the Philadelphia Inquirer. 'He came and brought this team to life. And when he is doing his interviews, he says what he means. I also love his kids. His kids are right there in the interviews. He's a family-oriented man.'
Jazmine's boyfriend, Eric, was initially unsure — maybe the name would work better as a middle name. But soon, the whole family embraced it. A pink cake at the baby shower read 'Welcome Baby Sirianni,' and a custom name frame made it all feel real.
On April 18, at 10:27 p.m., Sirianni Nyla Estrada was born — a seven-pound, nine-ounce bundle of Eagle pride, wrapped in her very first team onesie.
While the name honors the NFL coach, it also reflects her cultural roots. Eric, of Mexican descent, appreciated that 'Sirianni' carried Hispanic and Italian heritage, offering their daughter a name with a sense of identity. 'It still gives her that Latino splash in her name,' Tyquanique noted.
'She is half Mexican and half African American, so culturally, it fit her.'
Since her birth, Baby Sirianni has become something of a good luck charm in Eagles circles. A viral post in a fan group compared her to a tiny cheerleader and dubbed her a symbol of the team's new era.
Though she won't remember the Eagles' latest Super Bowl run, her name ensures that she'll always be a part of it. 'She sleeps through the night, she's calm during the day,' Jazmine shared. 'Eats well. Is very attentive. But she has her faces. She can make emotional gestures. Especially when she wants her bottle.'

Do you love spacing out? Here's a competition that rewards people for doing absolutely nothing
Credit: Getty Images Do you ever just sit... and stare? Not on your phone. Not while a podcast hums in the background. Just… sit. Breathe. Let the world pass by, and do absolutely nothing . It sounds ridiculous. But the truth is, it's a concept that different cultures have long recognized, and even cherished, enough to give it a name. The Dutch call it Niksen - the art of intentionally doing nothing, free of guilt or purpose. Italians wax poetic about dolce far niente - the sweet pleasure of idleness. In Taoist philosophy, there's wu wei - a way of moving through life by not forcing things, by letting go and letting be. None of these are calls to laziness. If anything, they're reminders that a pause is necessary and frankly speaking, the need of the hour. Ours is an era defined by constant pings, endless feeds, and this unrelenting worship of productivity, even stillness has become performative. We 'relax' by watching five episodes straight. We 'rest' by doomscrolling. Actual idleness, no screen, no sound, no stimulation, is so unfamiliar that it now comes with rules, a venue, and… prizes. Yes, there's now a competition for doing absolutely nothing. It's called the Space Out Competition, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. A group of people gathering in public, not to run, or speak, or outperform each other, but to sit silently for 90 minutes, eyes open, phones away, doing nothing but existing. The event was dreamed up in Seoul in 2014 by Korean artist Woopsyang. She had grown exhausted by the pressure to be 'on' all the time, always busy, always creating, always available. So she flipped the script. What if zoning out could be an art form? What if not doing was a kind of performance? Since then, the competition has popped up in cities around the world, held in open spaces with curious onlookers walking by, unsure if they're witnessing a meditation session or modern protest. Before the competition begins, participants are asked to stretch a little for 90 minutes of absolute stillness. No speaking. No sudden movements. No falling asleep. No humming, snacking, texting, fidgeting, or even smiling too much. A doctor checks heart rates every 15 minutes. Anyone who breaks the spell, a laugh, a glance at the phone, a sip from an unsanctioned bottle, is quietly escorted out. And the winner? It's not the one who sits the longest, but the one who spaces out best. The scoring system is part artistic, part physiological. Ten finalists are chosen based on audience votes, likely for their expressions, their stillness, or their backstory. Then their heart rates are compared. The person with the most stable heartbeat is crowned the champion of doing nothing. The top prize is a gold-painted trophy shaped like Rodin's The Thinker , a certificate, a badge, and an invitation to the next international round. But really, the reward might just be the permission to stop.

Taylor Swift's dad, Scott, finally recovering after quintuple bypass surgery
In a turn of events that shocked Swifties, Taylor Swift's beloved father, Scott Swift, recently underwent quintuple bypass surgery, a serious yet life-saving procedure involving five grafts to restore blood flow to the heart. According to Swift's representative, the operation occurred over a month ago and was not the result of a heart attack. Instead, the issue was discovered during a routine medical check-up, prompting doctors to recommend immediate surgical intervention. Thankfully, the 73-year-old 'Dad of Headliner' is recovering well and surrounded by love. Team Swift was there every step of the way When it comes to family, the Swifts do not mess around. Taylor, her brother Austin, and mum Andrea were all present to support Scott throughout the surgery and his recovery. The tight-knit clan, who fans already know as fiercely loyal, ensured Scott never faced a moment alone. Swift fans may remember Taylor's song 'The Best Day,' where she refers to her dad as 'an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger.' That sentiment rings louder than ever now. Scott is Taylor's biggest cheerleader Scott Swift is not just Taylor's dad. He is a fan favourite in his own right. Known for carrying a pocket full of guitar picks to hand out at concerts, Scott has become a kind of backstage legend among Swifties. Before the Eras Tour kicked off, Taylor herself sketched him a special pass: 'D.O.H. Pass, Dad of Headliner (All Access).' And true to the title, Scott has been spotted at shows across the globe, proudly cheering his daughter on. One lucky traveller, Taylor Moore, even sat next to him on a Southwest flight after the Eras Tour in New Orleans. In a now-viral TikTok, she shared how Scott raved about his daughter, and about a certain NFL star. Apparently, Scott believes Travis Kelce has made the biggest impact out of all of Taylor's boyfriends over the last decade. He also finds the 'Tayvoodoo' theory hilarious, that mystical idea that Taylor can magically influence football games. Now, as Scott takes time to heal, he does so not only with medical support, but with the love of his family and an entire fandom behind him.
