U.S. men's swimming rankings going into 2025 Toyota National Championships
The new Olympic quad could usher in a new era for U.S. men's swimming.
Bobby Finke is the lone individual Olympic men's gold medalist entered so far in next week's Toyota U.S. Championships, the meet that determines the team for the World Championships in July and August in Singapore.

Three other Olympic champions — Caeleb Dressel, Chase Kalisz and Ryan Murphy — were not on the initial entry list.
Dressel has raced in one meet since Paris and Kalisz strictly in November 2024 trials, according to USA Swimming's database. Murphy said he is taking a break from competition in 2025 with an eye on coming back later in the quad for a 2028 Olympic bid.
At nationals, the top two finishers per event — plus up to the top six in the 100m and 200m freestyles for relay purposes — make the team for worlds, should they meet a minimum qualifying time and the total roster not exceed 26 swimmers per gender.
Shaine Casas, who placed ninth in the 200m individual medley in his Olympic debut in Paris, goes into nationals with the country's best time in 2025 in the 50m and 100m backstroke and 50m and 100m butterfly, plus the 200m IM.

The U.S. Championships determine the team for this summer's World Championships in Singapore.
The last time somebody won five events at one spring or summer nationals was at the 2008 Olympic Trials (Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff). Granted, the 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly, two events that debut at the Olympics in 2028, haven't always been held at national meets.
Carson Foster, the Olympic 400m IM bronze medalist, has the top U.S. time in 2025 in the 400m IM, plus in the 200m and 400m freestyles.
Then there's Finke, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in the distance freestyles who again tops the seeds in the 800m and 1500m.

YAHOO POLL: Do you agree with US defence chief's comparison of Donald Trump and Lee Kuan Yew?
In his address at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a leading security and defence forum focused on the Asia-Pacific, in Singapore on Saturday (31 May), US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth invoked comparisons between President Donald Trump's approach towards the Indo-Pacific and Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's well-known pragmatism, "shaped by a preference for engaging on the basis of commerce and sovereignty – not war". "These two historic men share a willingness to challenge old ways of doing things that no longer make sense. Under President Trump's leadership, we are applying this common sense approach here in the Indo-Pacific and throughout the world," he said. Other polls: YAHOO POLL: Do you support harsher punishments for animal abusers? YAHOO POLL: When in the day is best to take a shower? YAHOO POLL: Have you used an automated bot before? Hegseth was underlining the US' new approach in dealing with the rest of the world, where "America does not have or seek permanent enemies". "The United States is not interested in the moralistic and preachy approach to foreign policy of the past. We are not here to pressure other countries to embrace and adopt policies or ideologies. We are not here to preach to you about climate change or cultural issues. We are not here to impose our will on you," he said. Still, Hegseth called on Asian countries to increase their defence spending to match levels that the US expects of European allies, saying that they bear the brunt of the 'threat' of China and North Korea in their backyards. Do you agree with Hegseth's comparison of US President Donald Trump and Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's "common sense" approach?

Hundreds of Thousands of Toyota Tundras Recalled Over a Hidden Problem
If there's one thing people count on from Toyota, it's rock-solid reliability. These are the vehicles that rack up miles like trophies and rarely flinch. But hey, even legends have off days. Toyota just announced a major recall of its full-size Tundra pickup—proof that perfection's a high bar for anyone. This recall affects over 443,000 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks from model years 2022 through 2025. That's a hefty number of pickups, but thankfully, the problem at hand isn't catastrophic. We're not talking fireballs from mirror adjustments or transmissions going full Michael Bay. Instead, it's a much smaller gremlin: the reverse lights might not turn on when you're backing up. Still, it's not something to shrug off. Without those lights, drivers lose visibility at night, and pedestrians or nearby cars might not realize a truck is moving in reverse. The culprit? Moisture sneaking into the light housings and slowly corroding the electrical connections—annoying, but fixable. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has weighed in on the situation, and its report offers some specifics. 'This recall only affects the 2022–2025 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles equipped with reverse lamp assemblies of a specific design using a specific adhesive for the vent patch." In other words, not every truck is guaranteed to have the issue, but plenty might. As the report puts it, 'Toyota is unable to estimate the percentage of the involved vehicles to contain the defect.' It's a bit of a moisture mystery. 'Whether the issue, in each case, will actually lead to both reverse lamps not illuminating depends on whether the multi-layer vent patch has allowed moisture to enter the reverse lamp assembly and caused corrosion of electrical components.' Toyota will fix the reverse light issue by swapping out the faulty lighting assemblies and repairing the wiring harness, at no cost to you. If your Tundra is part of the recall, expect an official notice in the mail by June 25, 2025. Toyota's internal codes for this fix are 24TB06 and 24TA06, while NHTSA's official campaign number is 25V322000. Got questions?

Trey Hendrickson predicted to lose contract standoff with Bengals
As written here consistently, barring a shocker, it has long felt like the Cincinnati Bengals will eventually emerge the "winners" of the contract standoff with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Those Bengals just happen to hold the vast majority of the leverage during this latest contract impasse with Hendrickson, despite the All-Pro's recent 20-plus minute airing of grievances at a team practice. Advertisement Despite this, Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated slots Hendrickson losing the standoff as one of his bold predictions for the season: "The alternative is to become Haason Reddick, which, for a player entering his age-31 season, cannot be appetizing. By taking the Bengals' reported current offer, Hendrickson can upgrade his salary by nearly $12 million and, while still being underpaid, improve upon his prospects for next offseason more by staying in Cincinnati than he could as a year-to-year mercenary for less on another roster." RELATED: Bengals UDFA is already turning heads at OTAs By now, Bengals fans know that isn't all that bold, though. This is merely the latest offseason dustup with Hendrickson over a contract. Past years have featured short one-year extensions and even reported threats of retirement. This offseason featured the Bengals actually granting him permission to seek a trade that never happened due to his age, production level, contract demands and trade asking price, to name a few factors. Advertisement Right now, Hendrickson is simply using every last bit of leverage he has left to make noise before the fines start to kick in during mandatory minicamp this month and training camp after that. He's extremely unlikely to actually miss games at his age with millions of dollars lost in fines while hurting his value with other teams. Hendrickson will likely wind up "losing' this affair in the form of a massive pay raise over the short-term, but just not for the exact number or years he and his reps seek.
