Athletic Club's Aduriz downs Barcelona with golazo play Why Barcelona's loss at Bilbao is unsurprising (1:19) Alejandro Moreno explains what went wrong for La Liga favourites Barcelona in their season opening defeat at Athletic Bilbao. (1:19) Lionel Messi  was sorely missed as a lacklustre Barcelona were downed by an  Aritz Aduriz   golazo  in a 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao in their La Liga season opener at San Mames on Friday night. The buildup to the match was dominated by the news that  Messi was unfit to play and the imminent  loan move of  Philippe Coutinho  to Bayern Munich.

Dolphins vs Buccaneers

What's trending in the sports world today. On Friday night, the Miami Dolphins faced off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a battle for state supremacy. The Dolphins have a major question at the quarterback position. Miami signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to a deal, but also traded for former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen. Friday night, both were in action attempting to lock down the starting role. Fitzpatrick struggled to complete passes, but made the highlight of the night when he trucked a defender. Instead of running out of bounds, Fitzpatrick decided to take the contact from the Buccaneers defensive back head on. The former Ivy-league star won out in the end. Check it out.

Buffalo Bills

The sound you hear is the air being let out of the preseason hype balloon for the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers took on the Buffalo Bills and came out with a butt whooping the likes of which have not been seen since, well, last season. But are things as bad as they seem? Probably not. Let us delve into the game grades. Offense: The Carolina Panthers offense had exactly one bright spot, and his name is Jordan Scarlett. This rookie running back out of Florida showed why he is not only a lock to make the final roster, but could contribute immediately in a role backing up Christian McCaffrey. Scarlett ran into some off the field issues which is mainly why he dropped in the draft. However, if he can show that he has matured he should have a career in the NFL. The rest of the offense? Terrible. I would love to tell you this is just a preseason anomaly. Unfortunately, we have seen these types of games routinely under Ron Rivera. Games where the players look completely unprepar...
