Two new films featuring Sir Geoff Hurst and fans have been released to mark the 60th anniversary of England's World Cup victory in 1966.
Hurst's famous hat-trick in the 4-2 win against West Germany took place six decades ago on July 30 at Wembley Stadium.
Wembley has brought together the voices of people who were there, with Hurst, the only surviving member of the team, saying: "Coming up the tunnel that day, only a section of the crowd could see us, then 96,000 – that memory will always stay with me.
"I still meet people today who tell me exactly where they were on the day, either at the game, or on holiday all around the world. Getting married and guests not turning up, all the sort of stories you hear.
"Programmes still turn up, the original ones. Tickets from the game turn up at functions. People have kept them over the years and ****** p into to me at a show or theatre asking me to sign. It is quite remarkable."

She was there in 1980 when lightning struck, instantly suspending play, and when it happened a second time in 2024.
She was there in 2016 when fans were sent home because the end zone paint wouldn't dry.
From her seat in Section 3BB, Judy Vollono has seen a lot of football at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.
On Aug. 6, the Plain Township resident will attend her 57th game to watch the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. She'll be accompanied by her daughter Ann Maddux and grandson, Sam.
Vollono still has the tickets from her first game on Sept. 13, 1969, when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 38-24. The first Hall of Fame Game, which now kicks off the NFL preseason, was played in 1962.

PHILADELPHIA − In life, every action has a reaction. And so it is in the high-stakes world of NFL finances, something the Eagles fully understand.
Heck, they practically wrote the book on how to keep core star players together. Jalen Carter was just the latest example. The Eagles officially signed Carter to a four-year contract extension worth as much as $152 million on July 29. Carter's average annual value of $38 million makes his the largest contract for a defensive tackle in NFL history. At least for now.
Carter is at the top of the DT pay scale despite being just 25 years old, entering his fourth season, and coming off a season in which injuries to both shoulders limited him to 11 games and 3 sacks.

So yes, the contract is a gamble, especially because it really doesn't start until 2028 and lasts through the 2031 season.

Matt LaFleur didn't hide his optimism for the 2026 Green Bay Packers at the start of training camp as he enters his eighth season as head coach.
"I told the team yesterday, this is as excited as I've ever been coaching this football team in my time here," LaFleur said July 29. "And it's because of the people we have in the room. I mean, players, coaches, support staff, everybody. So, we're just ready to go."
That comment got the attention of one former All-Pro left tackle.
David Bakhtiari responded to the video of LaFleur at the podium with a "You Sure About That" GIF on X.

Fantasy football draft season is upon us! Whether you're new to fantasy or have been playing for years, ******* yst Joel Smyth brings useful strategies that will help you this season. From No. 1 being the simplest to No. 10 being the most advanced, here are 10 tips to help you win your fantasy drafts.
This may be the simplest tip, but it is also the most important. Fantasy football has blossomed over the years and now comes in all shapes and sizes, and it's extremely important you know what shape and size your draft is. The difference between a Superflex 10-team league and a half-PPR 14-team league is night and day — more on scoring here. Find out every possible detail, how many teams are in the playoffs, how many starting spots per team, even what week your fantasy championship will be, and research from there.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
It may be fun to draft a kicker in the 10th round, but it isn't very profitable. Fantasy is already unpredictable, and when it comes to these two positions, not only does that remain true, but there are endless options and the tiniest of edge to work for. Last season, the No. 1 fantasy defense was only a couple points better than the 12th-ranked team, and that 12th-ranked team went on to outscore the top team by a mile in the fantasy playoffs. Don't buy your lottery tickets early if the odds are the same later on.
It's tempting when you see four straight receivers being drafted in front of you to follow suit. For the most part, you shouldn't. If you love a player, or truly believe the tier continues, go for it; otherwise, panic usually leads to loss of value. Rather than getting the lowest of a position to follow the herd, taking the best player available elsewhere naturally leads to more overall value. If quarterbacks are flying early, be patient, and capitalize on the value at other positions while people reach for others.

Pitching development has been the Red Sox's bread and ******* er under Craig Breslow. Since Breslow took over, the organization has invested heavily in the pitching pipeline. In his first two drafts, 28 of the team's 41 picks were spent on pitchers — 29 if you count two-way player Conrad Cason. At the major league level, Hunter Dobbins, Richard Fitts, Payton Tolle, Connelly Early, and Jake Bennett have all contributed after spending time in the system.
This season, the draft was more balanced, but several pitchers were still selected in the middle and later rounds. One of them was left-hander Brett Lanman out of Abilene Christian University, selected in the fifth round. Lanman, like many of the pitchers acquired by Breslow during his tenure as Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer, is huge. He's listed at 6-5, 230 pounds, and uses that frame to extend down the mound and help his pitches play up. While no two pitchers are the same, he's excited to get to an organization with a recent track record of getting young arms to the major leagues.
"I'm ready to get to work, cause these guys know what they're talking about," Lanman said. "They've developed these guys, and they're in the big leagues. It's like, man, they know, they know what it takes to get a left-handed pitcher into the big leagues pretty quickly."
Draft picks, to an extent, are lottery tickets. It's incredibly rare for a draft pick to enter the league as a major league-level talent. Paul Skeneses (Skenesi? Skenes?) don't grow on trees, and if they did, they'd all be first-round picks. Lanman, as a fifth-round pick, is far from a finished product. If he were, his ERA in his final season at ACU likely would have been lower than 5.35. The Red Sox didn't select the lefty because of his college results. They picked him because of who they believe he can become.
Potential is based on traits, such as being huge and left-handed. Lanman is both huge (6-5, 230) and left-handed. He also has a low release point and plus extension, creating a flat attack angle for his fastball. Most starting pitchers who succeed have a fastball as the foundation. Lanman knows that his heater is what's brought him this far, and that's what the Red Sox will want to build upon.

When NBC took over the Sunday Night Baseball franchise from ESPN this year, one thing they did differently was put out a schedule for the entire season.
They did retain the right to flex late-season games into that Sunday night time slot, as they do for NFL games, and Wednesday the network announced that the game between the Cubs and Reds at Wrigley Field on Sunday, Aug. 30 has been flexed and will be the featured Sunday Night Baseball game.
That game was originally scheduled for 2:10 p.m. CT at Wrigley Field. Instead it will begin at 6 p.m. CT. As of the time of this post, tickets for that game had not yet been updated in the MLB Ballpark app, but I am sure they will be soon.
The original Sunday Night Baseball scheduled game for Aug. 30 was Astros at Mets. That game will move to 3 p.m. ET and it will still be carried on NBC and Peacock.
Mark your calendars!

The Green Bay Packers will open the 2026 training camp under sunny skies at 9 a.m. July 29 with the iconic bike rides from Lambeau Field to Ray Nitschke Field.
It is a tradition for Packers players and some coaches to ride kids' bikes from the stadium to the practice field. Kids can line up with their bikes near the Oneida Nation gate on the east side of the stadium and should arrive early. The Packers and American Family Insurance also will provide five Dream Bikes, basically bicycles with sidecars. Kids chosen for the Dream Bike experience will receive a bike helmet autographed by the player who rides with them.
The National Weather Service Green Bay forecast is for sunshine with a high of 84. Umbrellas are not allowed in the stands, so fans are advised to have hats, sunscreen and water.
Training camp practices are free and parking is available in the Lambeau Field parking lot. It's a three-minute walk from the parking lot to the practice field.
Twelve of this year's 13 free public practices will be at Ray Nitschke Field, on the east side of the Don Hutson Center. All public training camp practices start at 10:30 a.m., but the time is subject to change and weather conditions. The 13th practice, Family Night, is at Lambeau Field and requires tickets.

The "get-in" price for the Philadelphia 76ers preseason home debut has surged following the team's signing of LeBron James, according to secondary ticket marketplace TickPick, far exceeding the average cost of a 76ers regular season home game ticket in 2025.
James announced his departure from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Philadelphia 76ers last week.
The "get-in" price for James' preseason home debut against the Boston Celtics on Oct. 16 is $165 on the secondary market, which is 142% more expensive than the overall average purchase price ($68) for 76ers regular season home games in the 2025-26 season, according to TickPick.
Several non-premium tickets have reached as high as $589 for the preseason matchup on TickPick.
The vast majority of other preseason games in October featuring teams other than the 76ers have get-in prices well below the $100 mark, with some matchups offering tickets around the $30 range.

Marques Colston spent a decade building one of the most accomplished careers in New Orleans Saints history. Today, he's applying those same principles of discipline, patience, and long-term thinking to investing.
The former NFL star joins Portfolio Players to discuss the launch of Champions Fund, a fund designed to give athletes and everyday investors access to sports-related opportunities. Colston explains why too many athletes are treated as brand ambassadors rather than true investors, how he navigated the business world after football, and why creating access has become central to his mission.
Colston also shares lessons from owning arena football teams, investing in companies like Fathead and SI Tickets, and taking a stake in English soccer club Ipswich Town. He discusses the growing appeal of sports as an **** et class, the rise of women's sports, and why opportunities outside the major leagues may offer the greatest upside for investors.
Portfolio Players, presented by E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley, explores how institutional capital, cultural momentum, and strategic ownership are redefining the business of sports.

Denver Broncos football has officially returned.
Denver's veterans are reporting to Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit today (July 28) after rookies arrived at the team's new facility last week. Last year, the club had a three-day acclimation period leading up to training camp after veterans reported, and they will presumably follow a similar timeline this summer.
Denver's first official training camp practice is scheduled for Friday, July 31, with ticketed fans in attendance. Due to construction at the team's facility, capacity at practice will be limited to approximately 1,000 fans, so (free) tickets are required. All tickets were quickly claimed on July 1, but fans can check Ticketmaster for potential availability in case some tickets are returned leading up to practice.

Covenant Health Park will return to form as a baseball diamond, with the Knoxville Smokies back in town for their July 28-Aug. 2 series against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos after two weeks away.
The playoff-bound Smokies − still first place in the Southern League North − went 3-6 on their road trip following the MLB All-Star break.
The Smokies have been missing catcher Owen Ayers, who was promoted after Knoxville's last homestand to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs alongside the Southern League Pitcher of the Month for June, Jace Beck. Ayers is now the Cubs' No. 3 prospect, according to the MLB Pipeline's updated top prospects list.
Right-handed pitcher Luis Gomez-Martinez highlighted the Smokies' 3-3 split with the Rocket City Trash Pandas. Activated from the 60-day injured list July 17, Martinez-Gomez struck out a career-best 12 batters in the Smokies' win July 24. He didn't walk a batter in six innings and gave up just one earned run.

PHILADELPHIA − The start of training camp brings about hope for the coming season. It also brings about competition.
That competition is something the Eagles want at every position, whether it's for starting jobs, backup roles, or even coveted spots on the 53-man roster.
For the Eagles, that competition begins with the first training camp practice on July 29. For many, that competition will continue throughout camp, the joint practices with the Patriots (and ex-Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown) and the three preseason games.
Buy Philadelphia Eagles tickets
NFL teams have to cut their rosters from 90 down to 53 by Aug. 30. So the competition at some spots will be intense. And the Eagles are doing this while learning a new offensive system under new coordinator Sean Mannion, and with at least three new starters on defense.

LeBron James is not just a basketball star; he's a big business, and where he goes, that business follows.
That fact was immediately clear here in Philadelphia on Friday. Fans are quickly buying up jerseys and tickets.
"When are the jerseys coming, so when can we buy them as soon as possible?" said Christopher Robinson of Olney.
Robinson says he immediately left work in search of a LeBron James Sixers jersey.
Action News met Robinson at Rally House on Chestnut Street in Center City.

You won't need a time machine and Siegfried and Roy tickets to see Tigers in Las Vegas this year.
Missouri basketball has announced that it will play an exhibition game against UNLV on Thursday, Oct. 29, in Sin City, adding a preseason road trip to precede a nonconference schedule already packed with road and neutral site matchups.
The exhibition likely will be Missouri's final tune-up game before the official beginning of the 2026-27 season, which can begin Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Mizzou has not officially announced who it will face to open its new campaign this year, although reports have suggested the Tigers will play Cleveland State — head coach Dennis Gates' former team — at Mizzou Arena on opening day.
The first officially announced game on MU's schedule is Nov. 6 against Saint Louis at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, the first of five expected neutral-site nonconference games this coming season.

PHILADELPHIA − Everywhere Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned this offseason, there were reports of his heavy hand in the offense last season that helped sabotage the 2025 season. Or there was A.J. Brown saying their relationship had changed.
Or there were rankings where Hurts is barely in the top 20 among NFL QBs.
Or how this could be a make a break season for Hurts as a way to explain why the Eagles haven't given him a contract extension, even though his current deal runs through the 2028 season.
Through it all, it's easy to forget that Hurts has taken the Eagles to the playoffs in all five of his seasons as the full-time starter and has a winning percentage of .695. He has taken the Eagles to two Super Bowls, one in which he was the MVP and another in which he would've been the MVP if not for a last-second field goal to beat the Eagles.

Phoenix Suns star Dillon Brooks' recent LeBron James admission has made Skip Bayless furious.
Former Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Phoenix Suns star Dillon Brooks have developed a love-hate relationship in recent years.
Brooks took things up a notch when he was present on the sidelines during Game 4 of James and the Lakers' second-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Suns veteran was seen laughing as James and co. struggled vs. the Thunder. It instantly became a meme, but Brooks has now revealed that it was James' agent, Rich Paul, who helped him get the tickets.
Brooks' revelation certainly didn't land well among James' critics, including Skip Bayless. So much so that the veteran NBA ***** yst begged Brooks not to sell out to LBJ.

Long-time NBA **** yst Skip Bayless recently accused Dillon Brooks, who became a meme for "hate-watching" during the Los Angeles Lakers' Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder last May, of selling out to LeBron James.
Brooks and James have shared a fierce rivalry in the past few years, which is why Bayless was surprised to learn that Brooks actually asked James' agent, Rich Paul, for courtside tickets to watch the said contest.
"I just lost respect for Dillon Brooks, who admits he got his courtside seat at the Laker playoff game from Rich Paul," Bayless posted on X. "Come on, don't sell out to LeBron. Don't lose your 'Dillon the Villain' edge vs LBJ. Don't turn into Draymond (Green), going from LBJ enemy to business partner."

It is important to note that Brooks' agent, Mike George, is signed with the Klutch Sports Group, which explains his connection with Paul. However, it's hard to envision that Brooks will take it easy on James the next time they share the court.

It's a new era for LSU football as polarizing head coach Lane Kiffin looks to make a big splash in his first year with the Tigers.
It was a tumultuous year for the Tigers as the team went 7-6 and endured the firing of Brian Kelly in late October before eventually hiring Kiffin for the upcoming season.
SHOP: 2026 LSU Tigers college football tickets
Despite that, a hefty recruiting job by the team brought in plenty of star power, including former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt.
Needless to say, every LSU game this year will be must-see as Kiffin attempts to rebuild the Tigers back into a **** le contender.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 parent company Liberty Media, which also promotes the Las Vegas Grand Prix, has agreed to a settlement of about $3 million to end a class-action lawsuit brought by spectators regarding the inaugural 2023 race.
The opening-night practice session on Nov. 16, 2023, was halted after nine minutes when Carlos Sainz Jr. drove over a water valve cover that severely damaged his Ferrari. Practice didn't resume until the early morning hours of Nov. 17, ending at about 4 a.m. local time.
Fans were removed from the viewing areas before the 90-minute session took place.
Those who had tickets for only that practice session or bought three-night tickets are eligible for compensation under the settlement. Claims must be filed by Aug. 27.
Liberty Media and the Las Vegas Grand Prix did not admit fault under the settlement. A final approval hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4 at U.S. District Court of Nevada.

A month after Brandon Aiyuk openly campaigned to join the Washington Commanders, the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver returned to social media to reveal he'd purchased a home near the Commanders' team facility.
Aiyuk, 28, posted on his Instagram story a picture of himself that included a caption with a misspelling of the location of his property: "Brandon Aiyuk acquires $10M Loudon County (VA) Estate." The Commanders' facility is in Ashburn, Va., which is in Loudoun County.
Last month, Aiyuk made it clear he wanted to join the Commanders, whose quarterback, Jayden Daniels, was Aiyuk's teammate at Arizona State. Said Aiyuk: "If I'm crazy or if I'm cappin', tell them boys (49ers) cut me today and I'll sign with the Commanders tomorrow."
The next day, Aiyuk posted a video in which he was wearing a Commanders hat: "I'm back in action and back on tour this fall. Go to www.commanders.com to get your tickets and watch us rock out," he said in a video.
However, Aiyuk is under contract with the 49ers and remains on the reserve/left squad list, where he was placed in December. He has three years left on his deal and he doesn't take up a roster spot, or count against the salary cap, while he is on the list. Aiyuk could try to force the 49ers to release him by filing for reinstatement and reporting to training camp, which begins Saturday when veterans report.

Cornucopian is the morning line favorite for the Bing Crosby Stakes and is trained by bob Baffert
The Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar carries major significance as a "win and you're in" race for the Breeders' Cup. This means the winner receives an automatic entry into the $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint at Keeneland later this fall. The 81st running of this grade 1 event features a balanced nine horse field that is led by the Bob Baffert-trained Cornucopian. With every runner as Stakes placed (finished in top three) or a Stakes winner, this six-furlong dirt dash for $400,000 in cash promises to be very competitive. Named for one of the founding fathers of the Seaside Oval, the career crooner is surely smiling when he sees this lineup of talent. Last year, the California-bred Lovesick Blues shook up the world with a huge closing kick at odds of 18 to 1. Could another longshot sing in this edition of the Bing?...Let's take a look at the entrants and provide a thought on each. The horses will be listed by post position with trainer, jockey, and morning line. The Bing Crosby Stakes will be contested on July 25 and is carded as race 10 with an expected post time of 6:30 pm Pacific time.
Son of Maximum Security has three wins and a second-place finish in his last four starts. Dominated in the St. Matthews Stakes at Churchill Downs at this distance in his last start back on April 30. Could be a 100 proof player here and certainly a horse for your superfecta.
Hard-running son of Shancelot that has his pappy's speed and his grandpappy's (Hard Spun) guts. Has been in top 3 in 9 of 12 carer starts but has only found the winner's circle 3 times. Trainer has a knack for pulling off upsets, but this is a tall task. A horse to play across the board at a price and oh by the way, those three wins have all been at old Del Mar.
Highly competitive son of Ghostzapper has run in 11 Stakes races in 13 career starts at distances ranging from six furlongs to a mile and a quarter. Was fourth in this race a year ago and finished a non-threatening fifth in his only start this year in the Bango Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 27. He has the experience against top competition and if the price is right is an across-the-board play. Put him on your exotic tickets.

It seems crazy that the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals will be calling new locations and stadiums home in the somewhat-near future.
For the Chiefs, of course, it will be in a new state as they cross the border into Kansas to build this stadium near the Kansas Speedway in Wyandotte County.
It's going to be a beauty. A fully enclosed roof that they say will include translucent ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) panels. It's a $3 billion project. It will seat 70,000 people and have over 20,000 parking ***** es.
Sounds like everyone needs to ride with three or more in their vehicle to have enough parking ***** es when the stadium is full.
Joking aside, it is going to be brilliant. But brilliant things come at a cost — and a cost to you. It's only a wonder how much season tickets will rise with the brilliance of the new stadium coming. Heck, let alone season tickets, for the regular football fan like I am, I may have to spend half my paycheck to get a decent seat to watch the Denver Broncos whoop up on the Chiefs in 2031.
