You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
In Green Bay, the Packers looked sharp in the desert, rolling past the Denver Broncos thirty-three to thirteen in Friday night's preseason action. Jordan Love and the first-team offense came out crisp, and the young running backs turned heads all night long, giving head coach Matt LaFleur plenty to feel good about heading into the final stretch of the preseason.
Meanwhile in Carolina, the Panthers are building something. The offense showed what coaches called great improvement in their second preseason outing, a meaningful step forward for a team that has been searching for consistency. It is early, but momentum matters, and right now that locker room has reason to believe the pieces are coming together.
And in the WNBA, Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud is not staying quiet. Cloud called out the men responsible for throwing sex toys onto the court during Friday night's game against the Golden State Valkyries, labeling them weak, and she is right to do so. A cryptocurrency group has claimed responsibility for the trend, which first surfaced last season. Arena staff cleared the court and the Sky got the win, but this conversation is far from over.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
