NFL Hall of Fame Game: Trey Lance leads Chargers to blowout win over Lions
The NFL preseason kicked off with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, where the Los Angeles Chargers decimated the Detroit Lions in convincing fashion on Thursday night. Both teams played in Canton for the first time since the 1990s, but it was a far more enjoyable night for Chargers fans, as they watched their team cruise to a dominant 34-7 win over the Lions. The night opened with a moment of silence honoring the four victims killed earlier in the week in a targeted shooting at the league's headquarters in New York.

Shannon Sharpe discusses ESPN departure, reveals why he wanted to wait for news to break on specific day
Shannon Sharpe's exit from ESPN was revealed on Wednesday following his settlement in a sexual assault case. The Pro Football Hall of Famer-turned-national television star was accused of assault, sexual assault, battery and sexual battery. He was also accused of engaging "in the intentional infliction of emotional distress," and his accuser was seeking $50 million in damages. Sharpe initially called the allegations a "shakedown," and his legal team released sexually explicit messages that the woman had allegedly sent him in efforts to prove their interactions were consensual. Nonetheless, the woman's attorney, Tony Buzbee, announced earlier this month that the sides "reached a mutually agreed upon resolution," but other details were not revealed. Buzbee represented two dozen of the women who accused Deshaun Watson of sexual assault, and all but one of those cases ended in a settlement. Sharpe discussed his departure from the network on the most recent edition of his podcast, stating that he understood their decision, but was hoping the news could be released later for a specific reason. "The only thing that I really asked was, 'guys can we wait until Monday.' My brother [Sterling] is going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I really want it to be about him and I want it to be about my family.' I said 'this coming out is going to overshadow everything that he's worked his entire life for.' And unfortunately, you know, it didn't happen that way…" Sharpe said. "I just wish this thing could have waited until Monday because I hate the fact that I'm overshadowing my brother. First two brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and this is what the headline's going to be for the next couple days." Sharpe said that he apologized to his brother earlier in the day, who told him he did not have to do so. However, he did it one more time in a public forum. "I know you told me I don't have to apologize, but I'm going to do it one final time tonight, and I won't apologize again - I'm sorry that I upstaged you in this manner. That was never my intent. You've been my hero, you've been my role model for as long as I can remember. "I apologize, and I thank all of my fans for supporting me when I was at ESPN and every place that I've been… Thank you guys for your support." Sharpe said that he "really enjoyed" his abbreviated stint at ESPN. "I really enjoyed my time at ESPN. It gave me an opportunity to bring my audience that saw me really just grow. They saw me, you know, 'Lakers in 5' and they saw me say all these funny, these analogies that my grandparents gave me. And I was able to bring that to ESPN, so I'm very, very grateful for that." Sharpe's attorneys admitted the former tight end had previously offered the woman a settlement of around $10 million, but she declined. Buzbee said that "both sides acknowledge[d] a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship."

Pro Football Hall of Famer visited Commanders' training camp Sunday
Von Miller surprised everyone when he chose to wear the No. 24 jersey this season for the Washington Commanders. Miller wore No. 58 for the first 10 seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos, switched to No. 40 when he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams during the 2021 season. When he signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2022, he again picked No. 40. So, why No. 24? Miller gave three reasons: NBA legend Kobe Bryant, a former high school teammate; Corey Borner, who was paralyzed; and former Denver teammate, Champ Bailey. Bailey, of course, wore the No. 24 jersey for five seasons with the Washington Redskins before being traded to the Denver Broncos in 2004, where he spent the next 10 seasons, including playing alongside Miller for the first two years of Miller's career. Bailey is a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer. On Sunday, Bailey was in Ashburn to see Miller and his former team. The two shared a photo, which Miller posted on Instagram. It's good to see Bailey back in Washington. Since former owner Dan Snyder sold the team in 2023, Bailey has been back each season for at least one game. He has spoken of rooting for the Commanders again and being thankful he was drafted by Washington back in 1999. On Sunday, Bailey saw his former protege and checked in on his old team.

Following four training camp practices, the New England Patriots are scheduled to have their first practice in pads on Monday, via ESPN's Mike Reiss. The team has held competitive drills in helmets and shorts throughout the spring and the first week of training camp. With the pads coming on, fans will have an opportunity to get a more realistic look at where the team currently stands in its preparation for the regular season. The intensity will ramp up with tackling and trench-fighting. There is no better gauge of talent than physical competition on the football field.

The Patriots' first full-pads practice is scheduled for Monday." The football season is right around the corner. NFL preseason football kicks off with the Pro Football Hall of Fame game on Thursday, and the first Patriots preseason game is slated for August 8 against the Washington Commanders.
