When it comes to the 2026 Carolina Panthers, owner David Tepper seems as bold as brass.On Thursday morning, Tepper Sports & Entertainment announced two major milestones for Bank of America Stadiumone of which was the extension of their long-running naming rights deal for the venue. The deal was celebrated later that evening with a special "fireside chat" that featured NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and Tepper.The event was moderated by FOX Sports host Curt Menefee, who asked Tepper how he's feeling about his team heading into training camp. This was his response . . .How do you feel going into training camp?David Tepper: Like we have a championship team.#Pantherspic.twitter.com/uJfmWQj16S Sheena Quick (@Sheena_Marie3) July 23, 2026Perhaps that bold proclamation was just a tad tongue-in-cheek, but we can't blame Tepper for wanting it all. He got a taste of sweet success in 2025where the Panthers, for the first time in his eight-year reign, clinched a postseason berth.Tepper would then expand on his expectations for the 2026 campaign . . .David Tepper: This year were a playoff team. pic.twitter.com/thj2IailU1 Carolina Blitz (@KeepBlitzin) July 23, 2026Albeit by a three-way tiebreaker at an 8-9 record, Tepper's Panthers won the NFC South to become a playoff team last season. They went on to show out in the wild-card round, nearly pulling off a bracket-busting upset of the Los Angeles Rams in Charlotte.If Tepper's standard for this year is met, then Bank of America Stadium will once again be playing host to some extra football into mid-January.Follow@ThePanthersWireon Twitter/X for more Panthers content.This article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Panthers owner David Tepper makes bold statement about his team for 2026

Who will he invite? Klopps expectation of the Germany starsGerman football needs a fresh start Jrgen Klopp made that clear right from the beginning. Every player will now get the chance to prove himself, the door is closed to no one, but the new national coach also made one very clear expectation known."I looked at 57 outfield players. We had a lot of good players at the World Cup who didnt play particularly well. Its far from bad, but it definitely needs improvement," Klopp said.That is why he will also call up new names: "There will be players getting opportunities who arent even expecting it yet. Because I want to be brave. I always have been, and I always will be. I want to work with lads who play the kind of football everyone enjoys. That doesnt always bring immediate success, but I want people to go home after the game and say: 'wow!'"Everyone should make an effort to draw attention to themselves. At the same time, Klopp is also convinced that there is enough talent available to put together a good team: "I went through the names and came away with an extremely positive view of the squad. We have an incredible amount of talent. We became world and European champions at U17 level. They should be 20 now. Now, with drivers licenses, we can use them."The expectation of the players is simply that a call-up to the DFB team should be seen as a highlight. That should not only be said, but above all shown. Whenever a player puts on the national team shirt, he should become that little bit better. With that, Klopp made his high standards very clear, but also showed that he wants to ignite a new fire in the national team players.This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
