NFL
The Atlanta Falcons did in the Carolina Panthers 25-17 Thursday night. Atlanta is now 2-6, while Carolina falls to 3-5.

OLYMPICS
Good news if you purchased tickets for the postponed Tokyo Olympics. They are guaranteeing refunds. You get your money back if you live in Japan. Fans who purchased tickets outside of Japan through so-called Authorized Ticket Resellers, well, you’re out of luck.

Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney confirmed their quarterback Trevor Lawrence tested positive for COVID Thursday night. He is out for this weekend.
