Carolina Panthers are undefeated at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. You read that right! The Carolina Panthers have never lost the annual Hall of Fame Game, which kicks off the NFL preseason. That tradition continued last night as the Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 33–30 to usher in a new NFL season.
College football is almost here! We may still be stuck in the dog days of summer, but we’re also just 27 days away from the most glorious time of the year—the kickoff of the 2026 college football season. With conference media days now in the rearview mirror, the attention shifts to fall camps as teams begin their final preparations for the opening week of the season.
I told my wife that if Boston won seven games during this homestand, I’d become a believer again. She guessed they would win six. Turns out, we were both wrong. The Boston Red Sox won eight of their 10 games during their longest home stretch of the season and now sit in second place in the American League Wild Card standings—something I never would have believed at the beginning of the season.
Today marks the final day of SEC Media Days, which means the countdown to the 2026 college football season is officially on. We’re still 37 days away from kickoff, but the excitement surrounding the season is already building. New Florida head coach Jon Sumrall met with the media to discuss the state of the Gators football program and answer questions about the road ahead.
Let that sink in for a second, because Boston sure has — the Sox just completed a four-game sweep of the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays, and in doing so tied the second-longest winning streak in franchise history, a mark set back in July 1948.
Just a few months ago, the Boston Red Sox had the worst record in the American League. They were a team going nowhere. The roster was searching for an identity, a fan base bracing for a summer of selling at the deadline instead of buying and I was watching games that felt more like a chore than anything else.
On October 14, 2017, with the game tightly contested and momentum hanging in the balance, Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks delivered one of the most electrifying plays of the afternoon.
For the record, the Carolina Panthers are undefeated in Hall of Fame Games. In fact, they’re a perfect 1-0. The last time the Panthers played in the Hall of Fame Game was during their inaugural season on July 29, 1995.
Perfect. https://t.co/CIBIwP9Z4r
