Bobby Bowden, the legendary Florida State football coach, died this morning at age 91.

Bowden led the football program at Florida State for 34 years and only had one losing season in that time. He also won two national championships (1993 and 1999) and a whopping 12 Atlantic Coast Conference titles.

Just a couple of weeks ago in late July, Bowden's son said he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

"Today we lost a legend but you never lose a legacy," said Florida State Football on its official Twitter account.

In better news, Peyton Manning will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame yesterday in recognition of his career with the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

While we got to celebrate his on-field accomplishments with the induction, Manning has always been a Hall of Famer to the kids that he's helped through the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital. Get the tissues ready, because this one's a tear-jerker.

Jimmy Johnson, the iconic former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, also became a Hall of Famer yesterday.

Though Johnson isn't in the Cowboys' Ring of Honor, he got to showcase the mentality that he believes made him so successful in Dallas in his enshrinement speech.

👀 What everyone's talking about: The NBA has opened a tampering investigation into free-agency deals involving Lonzo Ball to the Chicago Bulls and Kyle Lowry to the Miami Heat. Penalties for tampering range from a fine of up to $10 million, loss of draft pick(s) and voiding of deals. 

🏈 Training camp heats up: Unvaccinated players continue to create challenges for teams and we're also prepping to watch the Cowboys behind-the-scenes on this season of Hard Knocks.
