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

Devin Booker has unfinished business, coach Jordan Ott and GM Brian Gregory have already hit the ground running and now it's time for the Phoenix Suns to implement schemes and expectations after they - gasp - have spent a lot of time with each other before official practices begin.

The guys return to the glory days of KAT as a defense first prospect, Devin Booker as an unsung 6th man, and Tingus Pingus to think about how this draft in retrospect.

0:00 .... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the crew of Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer."  Show number 170 is dedicated to Devin Booker, who scored a career high 70 points in a loss to the Celtics back in March of 2017. 1:07 ... The NBA released the full schedule for the upcoming season and each member of the show picked three games they have "circled" on the schedule.  Bruce leads us off with an opening night matchup between the Thunder and Rockets and the return of the NBA on NBC on October 21st. 2:25 ... World B chooses Warriors/Lakers on opening night, also on NBC. 3:36 ... Ross chooses Bucks/Pacers and Myles Turner's return to Indiana as a member of the Bucks. 4:20 ... Bruce is intrigued by the first meeting between the Magic and Knicks on November 12th. 5:09 ... World B looks forward to Spurs/Mavericks on October 22nd in a matchup with Cooper Flagg and Victor Wembanyama. 6:28 ... Ross looks forward to Kevin Durant's return to Phoenix on November 24th. 7:37 ... Bruce is excited about the first matchup between the Pacers and Celtics on December 22nd. 8:39 ... World B looks forward to the Christmas Day matchup with the Cavaliers and Knicks at the Garden.  These are the likely top two teams in the east. 10:08 ... March 21st marks the Bucks visit to Phoenix as Ross looks forward to his yearly reunion with Giannis Antetokounmpo on his once a year visit to Ross' hometown. 11:09 ... The NBA and the Players Association are backing additional limitations on prop bets in the wake of gambling investigations involving Malik Beasley and Terry Rozier.  The crew examines all the angles of basketball wagering and wonders if it's possible to put the genie back in the bottle now that sports gambling has become so mainstream.  Everyone agrees that the integrity of the game can be adversely affected by gambling and the league needs to act responsibly to protect the image of the league. 21:11 ... Each panelist discusses one significant move that was made by their favorite team in the off-season.  Bruce picks the Celtics signing of Chris Boucher, the 8 year veteran who comes to Boston from Toronto. 22:33 ... World B feels the Knicks hiring of new head coach Mike Brown was a major move for the franchise.  He compares the hiring to the Yankees hiring of Joe Torre back in 1996. 25:00 ... Ross loves the Cole Anthony signing for his Milwaukee Bucks and adds that the acquisition of Amir Coffey will also be a major boost for the Bucks. 26:52 ... The Lakers will honor former coach Pat Riley with a statue on February 22nd.  The crew wonders why the Heat didn't honor him first, but all were thankful that the sculptor who did the Dwyane Wade statue in Miami isn't doing this one. 30:09 ... Bruce recounts some of the stories Lakers legend Michael Cooper told about Riles two weeks ago when he appeared on 48 Minutes.  One of the best concerned how Riley buried secret words in each player's video splits that the coach later quizzed them on. 32:33 ... Final Thoughts .... Bruce is saddened by the fact that it seems certain that Al Horford will never play another game for the Celtics.  If Big Al goes to Golden State, it's highly unlikely the Celtics will retire his #42. 34:58 ... World B talked about Major League Baseball's consideration of a realignment plan to keep the fans interested in the sport.  Adam Silver has also tried some things in the NBA with the in-season tournament an play in games.    World B praises Silver for his efforts. 38:00 ... Ross' final thought was to discuss some trades the Suns chose not to make when they dealt Kevin Durant.   Miami made an offer that the Suns turned down and everyone shared their thoughts on why Phoenix made a better deal with Houston.  Phoenix also could have made a deal where they acquired an unprotected #1 pick from New Orleans next season in the Durant deal and everyone feels like the Suns will regret not doing it. 43:06 ... Bruce shouts out to Shawn Bradley, who was paralyzed in a bike accident but appeared in public at a Big 3 game over the weekend in Dallas.  It was one of the only times he's apeared in public since his bike crash in 2021.   TRT 44:25

I had the pleasure of sitting down with James Reynolds, Co-CEO and Co-founder of Coco5, and what a conversation it was.  From the South Side of Chicago to Wall Street to the beverage aisle, James's journey is packed with powerful lessons on grit, reinvention, and staying true to your purpose. He opened up about a pivotal moment in college that transformed his life — when he walked away from basketball to pursue academics — and how that same clarity of purpose led him to fall in love with a product called Coco5. What started as a health-conscious investment turned into a mission-driven beverage brand that's redefining coconut water. James and his team, including NBA stars like Devin Booker and D'Angelo Russell, took a product they genuinely loved and scaled it into a clean hydration brand backed by real athletes — and more importantly, beloved by moms and kids. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: * James shares the moment he "stopped playing small" and took charge of his future — a life-altering decision that still fuels his discipline today.   * How a chance encounter with Coco5 led him from investment banking to CPG founder, driven by a passion for health and hydration.   * The surprising truth about their core customer: it's not just athletes — it's health-conscious moms buying for their kids.   * Why saying “no” to 2,000+ Walmart stores helped them win — and how going narrow and deep created long-term success.   * The secret behind their flavor-first strategy: “Kids don't care if it's good for them — it has to taste amazing.”   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this episode — it's a powerful story of reinvention, discipline, and building a brand with lasting impact. If you've ever wondered what it takes to succeed in CPG without experience, this is a must-listen.   For more on Coco5, visit: https://coco5.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Color More Lines: https://www.colormorelines.com/get-started Color More Lines is a team of ex-Amazonians and e-commerce operators who help brands grow faster on Amazon and Walmart.

Bomani Jones is joined by Domonique Foxworth for another edition of Foxworth Friday. On today's episode, the guys start off by chatting about the unusual agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA to keep collusion findings secret (5:58) and why Bo doesn't think Lloyd Howell Jr. is an ideal candidate to be running the NFL players union (11:43). They return from the break in shock over Devin Booker's $145M contract extension (33:24) and try to make sense of how Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Dallas Turner could've been scammed (39:58). They wrap up the show by reminiscing over LeBron James' 'Decision' to sign with the Miami Heat which was 15 years ago today. (49:07) . . .
