Firing Frank Reich on Monday is just the latest of Panthers team owner David Tepper's impulsive whims, which are having a major impact on Carolina's attempts to build a winning culture.

A walk down memory lane to 2021 reminds us Staley was conscientious and sympathetic as a young head coach. Now that his struggles with the Chargers and their defense have piled up, it's a different tune.

The vibes are good in Vegas, with the Raiders 2-0 after Josh McDaniels' firing. The Dolphins, though, figure to pose a much tougher challenge than the two New York teams did.

Now that the winning has dried up in New England, it's become a debate among media and fans that Belichick could be gone before season's end. That wouldn't be fair, to multiple people.

What happened to Hamlin, even as he was given clearance to return by doctors and has been practicing, is still never far from his teammates' minds.

This is the second time McDaniels has struggled as soon as he stepped away from his coordinator job in New England. And things aren't getting any better in Las Vegas.

The coach's death at age 41 serves as a reminder of the growing racial gap in how breast cancer is treated.

For anyone clinging to hope that the Patriots will turn the season around, in each of the past three seasons there was a 2-5 team that went to the playoffs.

Belichick by function has insulated himself with disciples. But that's coming home to roost, which has even the fan base growing impatient with their six-time Super Bowl champion head coach.

The heartbreak of Tokyo has been superseded by Biles' success in Belgium in the same arena where she won her first world all-around a decade earlier.

This isn't really a "pop cultural moment" the NFL should be exploiting for its own gain.

If there ever was a chance of Kaepernick getting another chance, that time is gone. But that doesn't mean we should forget what was taken from him, or recognize how much he'd love to get one more shot.

Tom Brady isn't walking through that door. And the last few years have been a harsh dose of reality for the New England fan base.

Philadelphia won its opener, but there were signs of growing pains on both sides of the ball. They need to be cleaned up fast as the Eagles host the Vikings and superstar Justin Jefferson on Thursday.

Brady helped usher high expectations into New England. Against the Eagles, it was clear Mac Jones and the Patriots are still struggling to meet them.

"Speaking things into existence is real, so I've been trying to speak more positively to myself," Gauff said Thursday after her semifinal victory.

Playing the best tennis of her career and taking inspiration from those cheering her on, Coco Gauff is one win away from her first singles final at Flushing Meadows.

It's a chance for Tennessee State, coached by Eddie George, to play on the national stage, a place not many HBCU football teams get to inhabit.

It was the 11th time in 13 races this year that Richardson has run 10.90 seconds or faster, continuing her phenomenal bounce-back season.

It's the first time since 2007 that the U.S. has won the men's and women's 4x100m relays.

The U.S. women have dominated the 4x400 relay on the world stage for several years. They won't even compete in the final after Saturday's DQ.

Lyles became the first man since Usain Bolt to win the 100m and 200m at the same world championship meet.

The most recent claims of cheating only add to a series of negative headlines centered on Bidwill and his Cardinals. He's approaching Dan Snyder territory in the world of bad team owners.
