I figured that since sports fans are as fanatical as comic book and pop culture fans that it’d be okay to sprinkle a little sports into the mix, and there are plenty of weirdos out there like me who dances between these worlds with ease; but folks, would it surprise you to learn that none of my San Francisco Giants panels were accepted? So, for your reading pleasure, here are San Francisco Giants-themed panels rejected by Comic-Con.

(Photo by David Becker/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Las Vegas Raiders’ rookies report to training camp on Thursday, meaning the Raiders’ 2026 NFL draft class will have its first chance to make a stamp on the roster soon. With that in mind, let’s dive into the best- and worst-case scenarios for each of Las Vegas’ 10 draft picks during training camp. Fernando Mendoza Best case: Win starting QB job While it seems like the coaching staff’s plan is for Kirk Cousins to begin the season as the starter, even Cousins has said that the best quarterback needs to be on the field.

Ryan Fox was the last man standing as the New Zealander made a birdie on his final hole at The Open to secure his first major championship. There were a handful of players who could have won The Open down the stretch, with Cam Young sitting in the clubhouse with a great chance as well. Fox got the job done in the end at Royal Birkdale , though, finishing at 10-under par for The Open .
