A couple of weeks after players shot video asking the 23-time Olympic champion — and Baltimore native — for swimming lessons, Phelps showed up at practice Tuesday. Then the team posted video of players swimming and diving — or at least leaping off diving boards — at nearby Loyola University.

They're Losing Their Vision. They Still Love Playing Tennis.
Sharon Murphy lived in a house full of books, and when her eyesight started to fail in her 70s, she had to make some changes. The books had to go, thousands of them. There were classes to attend: how to get around her apartment and the city, how to manage paperwork and use a computer. She went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a session that helps blind and visually impaired people appreciate the collection. There, she heard of something that stopped her: blind tennis. Really? Blind tennis? Ms. Murphy had never played tennis, or sports in general. But this piqued her curiosity. 'Tell me more,' she said. So on a Saturday morning this spring, she made her way to the Sound of Tennis, where blind and visually impaired players convene free of charge at Court 16, a tennis and pickleball club with three branches in New York City. For Ms. Murphy, 81, that first lesson offered more than just tennis. 'It opened a world of possibilities,' she said the other day, near her home on the Upper West Side. Ms. Murphy has a warm manner and lights up when she talks about her adventures on the court. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Nike sues Edison Chen for breach of contract
15 Aug - It was reported that sports brand Nike USA is now suing Edison Chen and his company for a breach of contract. The company is seeking USD 126,615 from Edison and his company Juice Los Angeles, stating that they owe Nike that amount of money for goods and services that they provided to the company. It is noted that the amount was originally stated as USD 126,615,000, but was later amended as it was due to a clerical error. The lawsuit came after Edison announced his streetwear brand Clot's collaboration with Nike's rival, Adidas. However, it is noted that the new collaboration has nothing to do with Nike's filing of the lawsuit. It is noted that Edison's brand announced their cooperation with Adidas at Clot's spring 2024 show, stating that their new collection will be called Adidas Originals by Edison Chen. Both parties have made no comments regarding the said lawsuit. (Photo Source: Clot IG, Edison Chen IG)

How Rattler and Shough handled live pass rush will be another data point in Saints' QB competition
CARSON, Calif. — If there was one constant for New Orleans Saints quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough during their stay in Southern California, it was pressure. Not just the pressure of the competition to be the Saints' starter, but pressure from pass rushers of the two Los Angeles teams, first in a preseason loss to the Chargers on Sunday and again in a joint practice with the Rams on Thursday.
