Michael Phelps, an 18-time gold medalist, was on hand in Tempe, Ariz., where his personal coach Bob Bowman serves as the Sun Devils’ swim coach, to help heckle Beaver shooters.

And according to a former team executive, that day may not be coming anytime soon based upon what happened with Michael Sam. With a 2014 National Health Interview Survey identifying 1.6 percent of Americans as either gay or lesbian, it’s likely that closeted draft prospects or veteran players have crossed the NFL radar since Sam made his proclamation three years ago. But rather than embolden others to follow suit with their own announcements, ex-Cleveland Browns CEO Joe Banner believes the opposite has occurred....
But this mind trick wasn’t ready for the likes of Michigan and Jim Harbaugh. MORE: How the Top 25 fared in Week 11 Before Saturday’s game between the Hawkeyes and Wolverines, the Michigan equipment staff covered the entire locker room with custom Michigan wallpaper, flags and navy blue tarps. Boss move, Michigan.
RELATED: Metroid Dread: How to Beat the Kraid Boss in Cataris Like most of the other major bosses in Metroid Dread, the fight with Drogyga is made up of two separate phases, although this time they are both incredibly similar. What’s more, the boss’ attacks are fairly predictable once players have seen them a couple of times, making this fight a test of players’ memory and reflexes more than anything else....
A return to form for 2D Metroid games, Metroid Dread also brings a host of new elsements and lesser utilized elements from previous titles in the franchise. New foes seem both plentiful and frightening, but not every boss and enemy is a new face. One boss in particular is making an unexpected return, but in a slightly different situation than before.

Rumors of Metroid Dread have been circulating since 2005 and was originally thought to be a follow-up to Metroid Fusion for the Game Boy Advance. Although Nintendo didn’t confirm or deny its existence, rumors continued over the years regarding multiple cancellations and restarts, as well as reports of the game being stuck in development hell. It’s not an entirely different story from Metroid Prime 4, all things considered. For years, it seemed that Metroid Dread would be stuck in limbo, but it seems that the Nintendo Switch offers the technical specifications the game needed to see the light of day....
After several titles and endless requests from fans over the years, Ridley from the Metroid series joins the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. Nintendo premiered the first fully-fledged trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during its E3 2018 press conference, and as a final, special treat for fans, the company revealed one new playable character before the presentation ended. Ridley, one of Samus’ most persistent foes, is officially joining the Smash Bros....
Kevin Pillar is one tough cookie. The Mets outfielder took a 94 mph fastball directly to the face in Monday night’s game vs. the Braves. He immediately went down, bleeding profusely from the nose, as the ball rocketed in the opposite direction. He got up and walked off under his own power after the training staff came out, though he was removed from the game. The Mets tweeted that he was at the hospital getting a CT scan....
Trailing by three runs entering the bottom of the ninth, Todd Frazier launched a towering, three-run homer just inside the left-field foul pole off Nationals closer Sean Doolittle to tie the game at Citi Field. After a couple of Mets reached base, Michael Conforto hit a two-out, line-drive single off Doolittle for the walk-off hit. The 7-6 stunner is the New York’s seventh straight victory, and their 14th win in 15 games....
Rivera has yet to resume throwing since going under the knife Sept. 14, but he has taken on a new job in the meantime. The 29-year-old became a father Dec. 6. Since then, Ava Rose and Rivera’s wife, Ashton, have kept him extra busy. As if rehab wasn’t enough. FOSTER: 18 things I really want to see in the 2018 season “I try to find positive things and blessings in everything that happens,” Rivera said Tuesday at the Thurman Munson Awards Dinner to benefit the AHRC New York City Foundation....
Smith, a highly touted prospect who has been envisioned as the Mets’ first-baseman of the future, was positioned in deep left field after a double-switch an inning earlier when San Francisco’s Brandon Crawford lifted a lazy popup with runners on first and third and two outs. Rosario, who earlier in the game had dropped a routine foul ball, ranged into shallow left field, waved off Smith and was in position for a routine catch when Smith came charging in and barged into him....
Until this year, every Fall Classic had featured at least one of the 16 MLB franchises that existed at the time of the first World Series in 1903. But that won’t be true in 2015; the Mets, who joined the National League in 1962, will play either the Royals (1969) or the Blue Jays (1977). UPDATE: It will be the Royals after Kansas City’s dramatic clinching victory in the American League Championship Series....

The Mexico center back scored his debut goal for Real Sociedad and turned in a quality defensive performance against Alaves to earn a spot in EA Sports’ FIFA 18 Ultimate Team of the Week. Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio will be happier to see Moreno on the actual field, considering the left-footed player had suffered an injury that had his status in doubt for Mexico’s friendly matches later this month....
His election as president of Mexico in 2018 originated in a genuine hope of change in society—the hope to transform institutions. However, AMLO’s administration is not changing history. It is repeating the worse practices of political clientelism, co-optation and concentration of power. Like other demagogue and populist leaders around the world, such as former President Donald Trump or Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, AMLO’s project is sustained by appealing to sentiment for a past that was deemed to be better....
After Shahdon Winchester’s goal that looked like it would condemn Mexico to its first defeat of the Hex, the No. 9 and his celebrating teammates were treated to an unwanted shower from fans in the end of the Estadio Alfonso Lastras. Many in the other stands of the stadium applauded the Soca Warriors’ goal, as if to show they didn’t approve of their fellow fans’ actions. When Hirving Lozano scored with a dozen minutes left to play, no section was spared with the crowd celebrating in its peculiar way by lofting whatever beverage was at hand into the air to celebrate....
Quintana Roo, which is on the Caribbean Sea and is home to cities like Cancun and Tulum, and Baja California Sur, which has many Pacific Ocean resorts, have shown some of the highest infection numbers since the start of the pandemic in 2020, federal government data says. About 88 percent of Mexican adults have received their first two doses of the vaccine, with the country prepping to roll out boosters to health care workers and elderly people....
The intrigue with El Tri came in the form of injuries, especially among the forwards. Scoring issues have plagued Mexico over the last year, with the best Mexican attackers struggling for fitness and form in recent months, and it’s unclear whether some of them will be able to recover in time. Mexico announced their preliminary roster for the World Cup on October 26 before the final 26-man roster was announced on November 14....
Suddenly, it was hip to be Michigan again. Hot new coach, sparkling, state of the art facilities, and all of six Big Ten wins over the last two seasons. But Winston’s bold statement also underscored this reality: building an elite program is as much as about who is coaching as what’s in place around him. Like it or not, a program can have everything in place to be successful, and then Brady Hoke comes along and the next thing you know, you may as well be Central Michigan....
