INDIANAPOLIS Five-time Brickyard 400 winner Jeff Gordon has returned to one of the most important places in his racing life this time as the centerpiece of history.The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum has opened "Jeff Gordon," its newest rotating exhibition, marking the first time the museum has dedicated an entire exhibit to a single NASCAR driver. The exhibit traces Gordon's journey from quarter midgets and sprint cars to becoming a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and the winningest driver in Brickyard 400 history."It's more than a dream come true," Gordon said. "You just hope as a young kid who becomes a race car driver that you get to do it professionally, that you can have success doing it professionally, and do it as long as possible and stay healthy doing it. I got to do that and a whole lot more."Open through February, the exhibit features 13 race cars spanning every stage of Gordon's career, more than 70 helmets and never-before-displayed artifacts, including his first bicycle racing trophy, the first Jeff Gordon T-shirt, the firesuit from his first sprint car victory and the Williams Formula One steering wheel he used during his 2003 seat swap with Juan Pablo Montoya at IMS."I look at this room and walk through the timeline, and that's what comes back is just all the dreams and the hard work and everything paying off," Gordon said.Long before his own career filled an exhibit, Gordon was a young fan wandering the museum's galleries. "I came in here and saw this list of names and helmets and gloves and cars from the Indy 500 history," Gordon said. "I became a fan of Rick Mears because I saw his name on that list."I thought this place was just magical. So yeah, it makes it not only very special but very surreal to me to be standing here with an exhibition of my own career here."Behind the scenes, creating the exhibit was a months-long process."It's a multi-month process to make any sort of exhibit, from the mezzanine all the way down to larger ones like this," said Jason Vansickle, the museum's vice president of curation and education.Vansickle, who began his career at the museum as a tour guide, said curators often plan exhibits around anniversaries, milestones and significant stories in motorsports history."This one was a pretty great partnership because we worked with Hendrick Motorsports and Jeff and Jeff's parents for the artifacts, the vehicles, all the items you see here," Vansickle said.The exhibit replaces the museum's "Now Stay Tuned" and "Setting the Pace" galleries."We're constantly rotating here at the museum to give guests more stories at the end of the day," Vansickle said. "It is a big job to do that, but at the end of the day, to have guests come and experience the artifacts is really the main goal."While Gordon's accomplishments are well documented four Cup Series championships, 93 career victories and a record five Brickyard 400 wins he believes longtime fans will still discover something new."I'm blown away," Gordon said. "All these helmets have been sitting in cabinets and warehouses for years. So to see them out on display where I get to see them and then to get to experience this with my son, my parents ... this is a really special day for me."Jessica Garceteis an IndyStar sports reporter.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez knows exactly what went wrong in his loss to Terence Crawford last September."I feel great [looking back on the fight]. It's already happened I cannot control [it]," Alvarez said on Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show" this week. " I know what I did bad not bad [but] wrong. I think we sometimes go out of bases. I did everything good in the training camp, but my mind wasn't there. ... I feel like I wasn't there, [I was] thinking about other things."The Mexican says his defeat to Crawford had little to do with his physical ability and everything to do with where his mind was during the week of the fight."A lot of things happened in the fight week, so sometimes we are going out of bases [we are not] focused on the fight, [or] focused on boxing. Like I say, I did everything good in the camp. I always train very hard, but not just that, you can be physically ready, but if your mind is not there, it's not the same."Alvarez explained he was not mentally focused on the task at hand, which he believes affected his overall preparation, including his weight cut and rehydration, and ultimately contributed to the defeat.Crawford impressed most of the boxing world last September in Las Vegas because, as the naturally smaller man, he went up multiple weight classes and still performed at an elite level. One man who was not surprised by what Crawford brought to the table that night, however, was Alvarez."No [he wasn't better than I thought he'd be]," Alvarez told Uncrowned. "[I knew] he's a good fighter. I never doubted how good he is. He is a very good fighter, he's very intelligent he has everything."Nothing [impressed me about him] because I knew [how talented he was]."Alvarez and Crawford appeared to be headed for a second meeting until Crawford announced his shocking retirement from the sport last December. Alvarez, who didn't have an industry-standard rematch clause despite being the bigger star and the fight being a voluntary defense, was left as the real loser of Crawford's decision to walk away. "Yeah, I'm surprised [he announced his retirement] because as a fighter, we want a rematch, right? We want to show again," Alvarez said. "And I always did good in my rematches. It surprised me a lot, but it is what it is. It's his life, it's his career, and I can do nothing with that."I [still] hope the rematch can [happen]. If not, it's fine, we need to move forward."Alvarez still holds hope that Crawford like so many boxers in recent years will come out of retirement and dance with him one more time. But for now his focus is on his upcoming fight with WBC super middleweight champion Christian Mbilli, which Alvarez says will take place Oct. 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Jordan Love didn't have to write anything or include a clever caption.The photo told the story and his message is clear.He's on his way to another season as the leader of the Pack. And everyone around him are fired up about it. Less than a week before the start of another training camp begins, the 27-year-old quarterback of the Green Bay Packers took to Instagram on July 23 to post an image of him leading the team out of the tunnel at Lambeau Field.The 2026 season will be Love's fourth at the commands under center and seventh overall in the organization.

But the year ended in disappointment after the Packers collapsed in the wild-card round of the playoffs. But that's in the past and Love appears to have his eyes on the future. Here's what his wife Ronika Stone Love, and teammates said about Love's post:Stone Love, who gave birth to the couple's first child during the offseason, said her husband is "oooozing aura king." His teammates' responses were: Packers wide receiver Christian Watson, the team's top returning receiver who recently signed a four-year contract extension worth $110.5 million, replied with a clock emoji.Linebacker Zaire Franklin, a newcomer to the team, wrote "QB1."Wide receiver Savion Williams, in his second season with the Packers, used a fire emoji to express his excitement.Cornerback Keisean Nixon, entering his fifth year in Green Bay, wrote: 10 (Love wears No. 10)View this post on InstagramWhen is Packers training camp?Love will hit the practice field for the first time next Wednesday, July 29, for the start of training camp.Veteran players like Love report to the stadium a day earlier.More: Green Bay Packers roster breakdown, unique facts entering training campPackers preseason schedule Love and the Packers head to Pittsburgh to see Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy for the team's first of three preseason games.

See the updated table after the first half of the BrasileiroThis Thursday (23), the first half of the 2026 Brasileiro came to an end.The match that wrapped up the 19th round was Corinthians 3-0 win over Remo at Neo Qumica Arena.But in Rio de Janeiro, in a postponed match from the fourth round, Botafogo and Vitria drew 0-0.The match at Nilton Santos Stadium also brought an end to the main transfer "saga" in Brazilian football at the start of this mid-year window.Thats because Danilo took the field for Glorioso and reached the maximum number of matches for the team, preventing a transfer to another Serie A club (Palmeiras and Flamengo were in the race).Now, Flamengo and Mirassol are the only teams that still have not completed 19 matches, but the CBF has not yet scheduled a date for the game, also valid for the fourth round.

Pressure intensifies for Panthers' Princely Umanmielen without Nic Scourton originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.In the moments after his NFL preseason debut last season, then-rookie Princely Umanmielen sat at his locker studying the box score. The Carolina Panthers' outside linebacker looked confused.His 2025 draft mate, Nic Scourton, was credited with a sack during the 30-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns at Bank of America Stadium on Aug. 8. Except the former Ole Miss standout couldn't recall the play when he tackled rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders behind the line of scrimmage.Seeing Scourton return to his locker, Umanmielen paused the start of a conversation."One second," he said. "Nic, you got a sack?"After hearing the confirmation, Umanmielen curiously dug deeper into the mystery."The one where you pushed him out of bounds ... that was a sack?" he asked. "That's what they are talking about?"Scourton nodded with a grin."That's some $#!%," Umanmielen said.Throughout their rookie campaigns, the friendly rivalry between the edge prospects continued to grow, despite Scourton eventually earning a starting role and finishing with five sacks, tied for the team high. Umanielen earned 1.5 sacks and forced one fumble last season and was expected to back up Scourton this fall.Offseason plans can change in a hurry.Scourton tore his ACL during the Panthers' first 2026 training camp practice Thursday andlikely will be lost for the season. As Scourton was carted off the field, the pressure on Umanmielen intensified instantly.Panthers' Princely Umanmielen under new pressureScourton was expected to start on the opposite edge of Jaelan Phillips, with Patrick Jones II and Umanmielen serving rotational roles."We have a whole group of guys that we're counting on," Panthers coach Dave Caneles said, as reported by Panthers.com."I'm proud of the fact that the first thought in guys' minds isn't, 'Are we going to have Nic for the season? It was, 'How is Nic?'"And guys are checking on him."After practice, quarterback Bryce Young gathered a group of players for an impromptu prayer session."Nic's our brother," Young said. "When you see someone down, it's just, first off, it's human nature. We all care, we all feel for him. Obviously, as athletes, we're all just praying for him."MORE:Panthers' rookie Monroe Freeling grinding for Week 1 startWhile Umanmielen did not have enough snaps last season to create a gaudy stat line, the 6-foot-4, 244-pounder made a difference when he was on the field. He finished seventh among all rookies by creating a splash play on 8.7 percent of his snaps. Turnovers, sacks, pressures, run stuffs and tackles for loss are listed among splash plays.With Scourton sidelined, Umanmielen will be pressured to produce more.More NFL news:Panthers RT Taylor Moton diagnosed with scary medical conditionPanthers re-sign Brady Christensen, bolster OL versatilityEntering Panthers' training camp, RB Trevor Etienne, WR Jimmy Horn Jr. face challenging journeysCan healthy Derrick Brown make bigger difference to Panthers' defense?With Rico Dowdle gone, Panthers need production from backup RBs
