NFL owners set 1976 roster limits with 43 players for 26 clubs and 49 for Tampa Bay and Seattle during early weeks, 45 later, while extending interconference trade deadline to Sept 8.

Brooks Robinson faces foreclosure and repays loan to save homes
Brooks Robinson, famed Orioles third baseman, faced a mortgage foreclosure on his home and a business partner's home after a York bank claimed he owed 196 256 dollars on a sporting goods loan. He repaid nearly the entire loan to save both homes, while his family faced public scrutiny and praise for his restraint. Roger Crozier won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the 1966 Stanley Cup playoffs, the first from a losing team to claim the award.
