Noah Lyles vs. Tyreek Hill: Gold medalist says race was canceled
Is Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill the true fastest man in the world? We may never know the answer. Noah Lyles, who won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash at the 2024 Paris Olympics to take the "world's fastest man" title, announced Monday that his race with Hill had been canceled. Advertisement Lyles was speaking on a panel at a Sport Beach event in Cannes, France when someone asked him about the race against the speedy NFL wideout. "We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend," Lyles said. "Unfortunately there were some things, complications, personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass." NOAH LYLES-TYREEK HILL RACE: Dolphins WR, Olympic gold medalist planned to race this summer The speedsters originally announced plans for a summer race in a joint interview with People magazine in February after months of back-and-forth trash-talking on social media. In the interview, Hill and Lyles insinuated the race would be somewhere between 40 yards (36.6 meters) and 100 meters, a compromise that accommodated the different sports backgrounds of the two athletes. Advertisement Hill has not let the cancellation stop him from running in other organized events. On Friday, the Dolphins wideout won the 100-meter dash event at a track meet in California with an official time of 10.15 seconds, which set a new personal best for the 31-year-old. After the race, he held up a sign that said, "Noah could never." It was a nod to a similar sign that Lyles had written – "Tyreek could never" – on the inside of his sprint bib and showed to the camera after winning a 60-meter sprint at a race in Boston in early February. Lyles won the gold medal at the Olympics with a personal-best time of 9.78 seconds, which suggests he still could have beaten Hill handily if the two had raced their 100-meter dash.

South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers rejected tempting transfer offers, the college football star's father says
The advent of name, image, and likeness (NIL) has significantly altered the college sports landscape. High-profile college athletes will often consider projected NIL figures before they commit to or transfer to another school. South Carolina football star LaNorris Sellers received tempting offers designed to entice him to enter the transfer portal. "He was offered all kinds of crazy numbers," Sellers' father, Norris, told The Athletic. The South Carolina quarterback ultimately turned down the offers in favor of remaining with the Gamecocks, according to his father. At least one of the lucrative proposals "he heard was for $8 million for two years," Sellers' father said. He also suggested that his son never intended to play college football to simply "make money" and that another university "offering more" wasn't enough to motivate the quarterback to transfer. "I told him he could say, 'I'm gonna stay or I'm gonna go.' [But] my two cents: It was to get into college on a scholarship, play ball, get our degree, and go on about our business," Norris Sellers said. "This NIL deal came later. We didn't come here to make money. We came here to get our education, play ball, and with schools calling, we're not gonna jump ship because they're offering more than what we're getting. If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Sellers, who will be classified as a redshirt sophomore this fall, finished the 2024 season with 2,534 passing yards and 18 touchdowns. He will be eligible for the NFL draft after the 2025 college season. Sellers and South Carolina are slated to open the regular season on Aug. 31 against Virginia Tech in Atlanta. College athletes started receiving compensation for their names, images, and likenesses in 2021. At the time, many athletic boosters formed groups called collectives. The collective effectively tapped NIL funds as de facto salaries for their respective teams. Prominent players have received millions of dollars from collectives. However, a federal judge's recent decision on a $2.8 billion settlement paved the way for college and university athletic departments to cut checks directly to athletes. Judge Claudia Wilken approved the multi-billion The House v. NCAA settlement. Wilken's ruling came just weeks before July 1, the date many schools planned to begin issuing payments directly to athletes.

Alex Freeman breaks through with US soccer team, 27 years after father Antonio won Super Bowl
Antonio Freeman had tears in his eyes when 20-year-old son Alex walked onto the field for his U.S. debut against Turkey on June 7. 'It just gives me chills,' the former All-Pro wide receiver and Super Bowl champion said. 'He has on a USA jersey. He's representing his country. That's probably the top level of recognition you could possibly get.' With Sergiño Dest still regaining fitness after a torn ACL, Freeman started at right back Sunday in the Americans' opening win over Trinidad and Tobago at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He is among the young players hoping to impress coach Mauricio Pochettino as he considers next year's World Cup roster. Freeman's ascent has been unexpected. He played just 11 minutes of first-team league soccer before this season. 'Alex, to be honest, I had no idea who you were before you got called up,' American midfielder Luca de la Torre said Tuesday, turning toward Freeman and smiling during a news conference. Now 53, Antonio played nine seasons in the NFL, making the All-Pro team in 1998 and winning the 1997 Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers. 'Growing up I always got asked if football was the path, but when I was younger I always had a secret love for soccer,' Alex said. He also played basketball as a kid. Alex's mom rejects the notion she directed him away from American football. 'The real story is Alex didn't want to play football and he didn't want to tell his dad that,' Rochelle Hinkle said. 'They all use me as an excuse. He just wanted to make his own lane and his own path. He didn't have, I guess, the words to say it then.' Alex played for youth teams at Weston FC, near his home in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Plantation. He wanted to play for Inter Miami's youth academy but was turned down. Freeman then was recruited for Orlando City's academy by Javier Carrillo, his former Weston coach. 'Without him taking me in, maybe I might not be where I am today,' Alex said. 'Obviously moving at the age of 15 was something that was hard for me, being away from my family and everything, but I feel like it made me grow up fast and I feel that that's something that I needed to do.' He moved to Orlando in 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic. 'I still have PTSD from that 'cause I wasn't done raising him,' his mother said. Freeman debuted for Orlando City B in the third-tier MLS Next Pro on March 26, 2022, and played his first match for the senior team in Major League Soccer on April 29, 2023, entering in second-half stoppage time. He had two more substitute MLS appearances last year, totaling 10 minutes, then took over as starting right back this season from Dagur Dan Thórhallsson. 'Alex is player with little experience, but in soccer the desire, the capacity and the talent usually rise above experience,' Pochettino said. 'The reports we got on him were really good.' Freeman is competing for likely two right back roster spots with Dest, Joe Scally, Nathan Harriel, Bryan Reynolds, Shaq Moore and Marlon Fossey. Pochettino envisions narrowing his focus from a current group of 60 players when he makes roster selections for autumn friendlies. 'These camps, these games, I feel like it's just motivation for me to earn Pochettino's trust,' Freeman said. Alex credits his dad for teaching him training, eating and lifestyle habits. Years ago, they used to kick around a ball together. Not anymore. 'At that point I realized: You're going to hurt yourself out here,' Antonio said. 'We might shoot around some basketballs in the backyard, shoot some three-pointers or something, but nothing soccer related.' ___ AP soccer:
