3rd Quarter: The NFL kicked off its preseason with the Hall of Fame Game, seeing the Las Vegas Raiders defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-11.

4th Quarter: On this day in sports history, Bud Selig issued a 211-game suspension to Alex Rodriguez for PED use. The suspension was later reduced to 162 games but set a significant precedent.
