PHILADELPHIA >> Philadelphia was awash in green on Valentine’s Day to celebrate its Super Bowl champions.

Swooning fans screamed and cheered Friday as MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie took turns hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the start of the team’s victory parade through the City of Brotherly Love.

Many fans camped out along the parade route overnight, huddling under blankets and in tents to secure prime spots near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the Eagles took the stage on the “Rocky” steps.

“You know I told myself that when I got drafted, that I wouldn’t come to the ‘Rocky’ steps until I won a championship,” Hurts said. “And now we’re here.”

A few rowdy fans lobbed beer cans to players riding on the open-air buses, and a wayward throw smacked Eagles general manager Howie Roseman in the forehead.

Other fans decked out in Eagles jerseys climbed trees and light poles, perched themselves atop ladders and clung to a statue of Benjamin Franklin near City Hall to get a glimpse of record-setting running back Saquon Barkley and Cooper DeJean, the rookie defensive back who ran an interception into the end zone on his 22nd birthday.

Dolphins release veteran RB Mostert >> The Miami Dolphins are moving on from veteran running back Raheem Mostert, his agent Brett Tessler said.

Mostert finished the 2024 season with his fewest games played (13), rushing yards (278) and attempts (85) since he joined the team ahead of the 2022 season.

Lankinen to replace Saros in goal for Finland >> Kevin Lankinen will start in net for Finland against Sweden in the 4 Nations Face-Off on Saturday after Juuse Saros allowed six goals on 32 shots in a 6-1 loss to the United States in each team’s tournament opener, coach Antti Pennanen said.

Saros’ struggles stretched into the 4 Nations from his rough half-season-plus in the NHL with the Nashville Predators.

Canada’s Makar sick >> No. 1 defenseman Cale Makar should play for Canada against the U.S. on Saturday night after missing practice with an illness.

Canada is down to just six healthy defensemen after losing Shea Theodore to injury midway through the second period against Sweden on Wednesday night and getting ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. Travis Sanheim is replacing Theodore in the lineup.

D-backs, righty Graveman agree to deal >> Reliever Kendall Graveman has agreed to a $1.35 million, one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a person familiar with the deal told the AP.

Graveman, a 34-year-old right-hander, figures to add depth to the D-backs bullpen and could compete for the closer’s role. He missed last season following surgery in January 2024 to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
