Sean Payton did not mince words after Denver's preseason loss to Green Bay, telling reporters flat out that the performance against the Packers simply wasn't good enough. The Broncos have work to do, and their head coach is clearly not interested in sugarcoating the situation heading into the regular season.
Speaking of that Packers win, Green Bay rookie kicker Trey Smack is turning heads fast. The sixth-round pick out of Florida is seven for seven on field goal attempts through two preseason games, including four makes against Denver in a thirty-three to thirteen blowout. Matt LaFleur says he feels great about the kid, and honestly, the numbers back that up completely.
Shifting overseas, Formula One returns from its summer break this weekend with the Dutch Grand Prix, and all eyes are on nineteen-year-old Kimi Antonelli, who carries a fifty-point championship lead into the second half of the season. The Mercedes phenom has six wins already and is chasing history as the sport's youngest-ever world champion. Teammate George Russell took a small step forward last time out, so the internal battle is heating up too.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
