In this episode of Hoopsology, we sit down with Lauren Williams, who covers the Atlanta Hawks for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, to discuss the team's early 2025–26 season outlook. Lauren gives us insider insight on:

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has been making waves far from the pool this past week, and not just for nostalgia's sake. According to AOL Sports, Phelps stepped into controversy at the 2025 World Championships by blasting USA Swimming's leadership in a widely discussed Instagram post. He accused the organization of a steep decline, noting its lowest Olympic medal haul in decades, and went so far as to say he'd be hesitant to let his own children take up swimming under current conditions. Clarifying he was targeting the leadership, not the athletes, Phelps called for a sweeping independent review and offered to help rebuild the organization, underscoring his long-term investment in the sport's future. The boldness of his critique made headlines and generated a flurry of commentary in both mainstream press and swimming circles.Meanwhile, Phelps continues to balance his legendary athlete persona with devoted fatherhood. Nicole Phelps spoke recently on the Between Us Moms podcast, confirming to People that their family is uninterested in any reality TV deals, preferring to keep the lives of their four sons—Boomer, Beckett, Maverick, and Nico—relatively private. She added that while Phelps is comfortable in the spotlight, his children have varying reactions to public attention, with Beckett being notably averse.On social media, Michael Phelps delighted fans after NBA star Devin Booker surprised him with a pair of limited-edition Nike sneakers, which he gushed about on Instagram, sparking friendly banter between celebrity athletes. Phelps also continues to use his sizable platform for mental health advocacy. Sportskeeda highlighted his recent podcast appearances where he discussed strategies for helping his kids manage big emotions and shared advice for people facing struggles, likening life to a five-thousand-piece puzzle, with a focus on daily progress and self-control.Though speculation occasionally surfaces about Phelps joining controversial new competitions like the Enhanced Games, where performance enhancers are permitted, there is no credible evidence or direct association with Phelps at this time according to Wikipedia and coverage from The Times. Recent headlines instead emphasize his ongoing involvement with his foundation and community programs. Photos from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution show him participating in the 2025 Dawg Bowl fundraising event, reflecting his continued public presence outside the Olympic spotlight.In summary, Michael Phelps in late October 2025 is as outspoken as ever about the state of his beloved sport, vocal on parenting, cautiously present in the public and philanthropic eye, and still adroit at sidestepping tabloid theatrics while inspiring future generations on and offline.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

On the latest episode of Syracuse Sports, Brent Axe discusses how the Syracuse football season has entered a weird space where there is five games to go in 2025, but all attention already seems to be shifting to next year if SU can't get its QB situation straightened out.  That noted, there are still games to be played this year and the Orange have a trip to No.7 Georgia Tech on Saturday on tap. Chad Bishop of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution joins Brent to discuss how Brent Key has built the Yellow Jackets into an ACC contender, how QB Haynes King has been the MVP of the ACC this season and if Georgia Tech has any weak points SU can attack.  Bishop also tells Axe what Syracuse basketball is getting in new point guard Naithan George, who transferred to the Orange from Georgia Tech.  Music provided by Ginger Slim.  Would like your original music or know of a great band we should feature on Syracuse Sports?

I wanted to give a lot of my platform today to voices from the Atlanta "No Kings Day" event, from local grassroots activists like Dom Kelly of the New Disabled South to Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock and Stacey Abrams. There was also appearances from former state senator Jason Esteves and Atlanta City Council Presidential candidate Rohit Mahlotra.------There's also this: the Atlanta Journal Constitution profiled Ashley Merchant, the attorney central in the exposing of the Fani Willis / Nathan Wade coupling that formed the basis for Trump co-conspirators' 'conflict of interest' claims (not that a conflict even existed ...). There's just something gross about the legal profession when this is something journalism would laud. Not sorry to say so. ------MAGAs and their unintended consequences ... an Augusta conservative talk radio host posted a close-up, zoomed in photo of someone wearing blue gym shorts. Clearly we were looking at someone's genital "bulge," but have no idea whose, but in the post, host Austin Rhodes wrote "There have been more scholarship players with ding-dongs on the Augusta University Women's Volleyball Team, than there have been KINGS in the U.S. government."Never mind the pivot from "No Kings Day" and its historic precedent; no, as right wing pundits are wont to do, Austin felt the need to play "hey, look over here! Back to banging on trans people!" game with his audience. The problem is, he didn't make it clear the alleged trans athlete no longer plays at the local university, but only after his followers openly stated they'd be uh "scrutinizing" the current roster. That poor girl, named "Hunter," with her ample shoulders and thighs. Oops. ------My guest today: Amir Badat, Fair Fight's senior policy advisor and southern states director, to weigh in on the looming evisceration of Section of the Voting Rights' Act by the U.S. Supreme Court. Also, his Fair Fight co-hort Max Flugrath, shared on social media a 2019 New Yorker piece that brought attention to the "master of modern Republican gerrymandering." A timely look back as the intent of the VRA is set to be done away with by a Trump-packed Supreme Court.

Question: why is Rep. Nikema Williams (D) unveiling a slate of endorsements for municipal races in her district when most of the races are Democrat v Democrat? Is this a slate of debts owed for her ascendancy into the Congressional seat when the late Rep. John Lewis passed? Otherwise, what's the sense in this? It's a bad look - particularly for the former Georgia Democratic Party chair.------Speaking of endorsements, former state Senator Jason Esteves netted the endorsement of Jason Carter, former Democratic gubernatorial candidate and grandson of the late President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalyn. Also, I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) Esteves was the only gubernatorial candidate in the Atlanta Pride parade this past weekend. Uhm ... ------An Atlanta school board candidate Rep. Nikema WIlliams didn't endorse (okay, his school zone isn't in her district, so there's that) has some refreshing candor when it comes to what we need to be teaching our kids: an accurate representation of our nation's history, warts and all.------Why is the city of Atlanta gumming up the process to file for a protest march with this weekend's upcoming 'No Kings' protests? ------Good on Atlanta Journal Constitution op/ed columnist Patricia Murphy openly wondering how Donald Trump can craft peace in the Middle East (truth is, he didn't; the deal was a year old) but can't unite Congress to end a government shutdown?

The start of the work week began with the release of the remaining (living) Israeli hostages by Hamas. It's a moment in human history we should all be able to find common joy. The question is this: how did Trump secure a deal that eluded Joe Biden? I believe (rightly so, reporting would reveal) Benjamin Netenyahu had a rooting interest in the 2024 Presidential election here. ------Before anyone begins thinking I'm softening on the Trump administration over one good news cycle, however, it begs the question: how can the Trump White House orchestrate a deal to end the Israel / Hamas war while still waging war on non-MAGA America? They whacked an entire Education Department unit charged with overseeing special education programs. CEO/Founder at the New Disabled South, Dom Kelly, took to social media to provide a furious, frustrated response. ------Keeping up with the evolution of Marjorie Taylor Greene from bombastic radical MAGA nutjob to concerned momma bear bucking her party and finding agreement from and with Democrats is quite an experience. Atlanta Journal Constitution op/ed contributor Jamie Dupree is among us (and her) who note that the GOP has had fifteen years to craft an Obamacare alternative and have come up empty. Trump told us - in 2016 - it was coming out in a matter of "weeks." It's been more than 460 weeks since Trump first won the presidency in 2016. How many more "weeks" will we need to continue waiting before that plan comes out?Wouldn't it be something if they suddenly came out with a plan to provide "Medicare for All?"

We awoke to word that a ceasefire agreement had been reached freeing the remaining 20 hostages from Hamas control with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netenyahu's blessing. What remained unclear, at least initially, was if President Donald Trump knew if Gazans would be free to return to Gaza or be temporarily or permanently displaced. The framework of the '20-point plan' is very shaky, and - it turns out - recycled from past plans offered a year ago, but rebuffed by Netenyahu and because so, unpursued by then-President Joe Biden. And there's no guarantee it'll hold. I'll keep reminding anyone paying attention, by the way, that the world only has a Hamas to deal with because Netenyahu propped it up at the expense of looming Palestinian statehood.------Are we witnessing the caterpillar-to-butterfly "molting" of Marjorie Tayler Greene into a rational politician? Could she be better-positioned now (than before) to take a stab at statewide office? Atlanta Journal Constitution op/ed writer Patricia Murphy thinks ... maybe. That she's taking to the set at CNN to speak with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown on this is telling, in and of itself. Her potential general election combatant - Democrat Shawn Harris - calls "bullsh*t."

I've known Clay & Shelly since 2019; they're an active younger couple with two kids. Both are realtors - in fact they're a married "team" - who have to shell out the full cost of health insurance as small business owners. Clay took to social media to spell out what the federal government shutdown and Democrats' posturing to save ACA credits (and claw back Medicare/Medicaid cuts) is about: the cost increase to cover their family is akin to that of a "decent used car" in 2026. Patricia Murphy at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, however, opines that Democrats are the "biggest losers" in this shutdown stalemate, but is this not the kind of "kitchen table issue" Democrats are supposed to be standing firm for?Meanwhile, Sheryl Arno, executive director of the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta, opined in the AJC as well that the looming Medicaid cuts are going to impact families who have loved ones with special needs - and not just poor families. Those in the "messy middle" who earn just enough not to qualify for Medicaid may find themselves taking their adult neuro-atypical children back in and be full-time caregivers if the GOP-led cuts to vital waiver programs take effect in 2026.

With America In Major New Administration & the Political News View Headlines Changing Everyday, This Book is Particularly Intriguing Now!!In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton's thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America's current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation's capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family's Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker's work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Ashley and Albert Debelbot had just put their newborn McKenzy to bed for the first time, but hours later rushed the infant back to the hospital after finding a bump on her forehead. When she died, police concluded the parents harmed her and charged them with murder. Facing an overzealous prosecutor, a partial judge, and ineffective defense attorneys, the Debelbots spent twelve years in prison trying to clear their names. But a new legal team uncovered evidence suggesting McKenzy died from a prenatal injury, not a beating.Season 11 of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's investigative series “Breakdown: Three Days in May” looks into the Debelbots' complicated case. Hosts Bill Rankin and Tamara Stevens recount the investigative rush-to-judgment, the flawed trial, and the evidence pointing to a medical cause of the baby's death—not a criminal one.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BREAKDOWN: THREE DAYS IN MAY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THIS EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: going nuts!

Atlanta Journal Constitution op/ed columnist Bill Torpy penned a piece in early September finger-wagging at progressives over word choice and his perceiving them to be 'haughty and arrogant,' owing to their 'moral superiority' as a reason the Democratic Party is losing elections and the voter registration game, lately. He cited the recently resigned CDC official Dr. Demetre Daskalakis' resignation letter and his use of the term "pregnant people" as an example. Third Way had a longer list, incidentally; a list I questioned. I don't dismiss what Torpy or Third Way is saying, in their entirety, but I find it a touch rich with irony that both take their own 'haughty & arrogant' or 'morally superior' high horse to call out the progressive wing of the party while ignoring the party - controlled by the establishment more to the center - being awful at messaging and in being as welcoming to progressive voters as they seem to be to "never Trump" Republicans.

Few people beyond South Carolina's Lowcountry knew of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston—Mother Emanuel—before the tragic events on the night of June 17, 2015. Although the shooter had targeted Mother Emanuel to agitate racial strife, he could not have anticipated the aftermath or the out­pouring of forgiveness from victims' families. Kevin Sack is a veteran journalist and Jacksonville native who has written about national affairs for more than four decades and has been part of three Pulitzer Prize–winning teams. His debut book, Mother Emanuel, is a sweeping history of the first AME church in the South and a profound story of courage and grace amid the fight for racial justice.  A native of Jacksonville, Florida, and a graduate of Duke University, Kevin Sack spent thirty years on the staff of The New York Times, where he specialized in writing long-form narrative and investigative reports, often related to race. He also has written for the Los Angeles Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine. He was a 2019 Emerson Collective Fellow at New America.  Interviewer Isaiah Oliver is the third president of The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, Florida's oldest and one of its largest community foundations, established in 1964. He leads a seasoned 30-person team that manages more than $700 million in assets and distributed over $85 million in grants in 2024. Isaiah's commitment to community leadership is evident through his service on the Jacksonville Civic Council and as Co-Chair of the Jacksonville Transformation Coalition. Nationally, he serves as Chair of the Board of Directors for CFLeads and holds board or advisory roles with the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy, ABFE (Association of Black Foundation Executives), Independent Sector, and the Council on Foundations Public Policy Advisory Committee. A Fellow of the inaugural class of the Civil Society Fellowship—a partnership of the AntiDefamation League and The Aspen Institute—Isaiah is also a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.   --- Never miss an event!
