MORE: Best photos from Week 1 | Who we picked | How will Michigan improve under Harbaugh? The post was in repsonse to a calendar found in the magazine “Popular Mechanics” that referred to Utes as a “cupcake” opponent for the Wolverines (completely ignoring the fact Utah beat Michigan in 2014, as well). Although the magazine apologized for its lack of college football knowledge, I’m sure the Utes enjoyed the sugary snack all the same....

But in a sport where longevity means still playing well into your forties, and even beyond, you cannot be said to have scaled that particular mountain when you are 25, as McIlroy was when he last won a major. That was the 2014 US PGA Championship and it came hot on the heels of his triumph at The Open. That was when a new era appeared to be dawning in the world of golf, a post-Tiger age in which McIlroy was to be the star of the show....
Led by superstar Michael Phelps, the US swimmers contributed three gold medals on Thursday. To a thunderous crowd, Phelps stormed to the gold medal in the men’s 200m individual medley and became the first swimmer to win the same event at four consecutive Olympics.

Pick a word, or pick them all, but what the U.S. national team delivered Tuesday night was the worst performance in a big match in the history of the program. The task seemed simple enough, but the Americans made it complicated, leaving their hopes in the hands of others on a night when they didn’t look like they belonged in a World Cup. Trinidad & Tobago, the worst team in the final round of CONCACAF qualifying, relished the role of spoiler and caught the Americans flat-footed, making them pay for their latest slow start....
Saturday night, the United States hit the ice against Slovakia with a spot in the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship semifinals on the line. It skated away with a much-closer-than-it-looks 5-2 victory. It was quite a turnaround from last year when the Americans were sent packing by the Finns via shutout in the quarterfinals. Eight players are back from that squad and they did not want to go home early again....

With the World Championships set to begin Saturday in Beijing, the build-up to the event has been clouded by questions relating to doping within the sport. MORE: Track and field world record holders in action | IAAF suspends 28 athletes The International Association of Athletics Federation — which elected Sebastian Coe as its new president Wednesday — has defended its record against doping, but Bolt says more needs to be done by clean athletes to “save the sport....
Had Bolt come along as an athlete four decades earlier, though, we wouldn’t have seen him in Rio at all. This has been the Olympics of Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps in what likely will be their final significant statements on the grandest stage their sports allow. They only are here, however, because professional athletes are allowed to compete. MORE: Nobody will ever beat Bolt. Never. | Phelps has no rival in 200m fly...
Most of these ports were originally built for only one purpose – Data Transfer. It is a routine process that happens day in and day out. To increase the transfer speeds and avoid any possible problems such as data loss or corruption, different data transfer ports have been made. A few of the most popular ones are USB ports, eSATA, Thunderbolt, and FireWire. Just connecting the right device to the right port can exponentially reduce the time and energy spent in transferring data....

The move will let customers make payments using the USD Coin (USDC)—referred to as a stablecoin because it is linked to the actual US dollar in terms of price. If someone owns one USDC, they can always trade it for one dollar of traditional currency. This sets stablecoins aside from other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin which have traditionally had volatile market prices. USDC’s popularity as a coin cannot be measured by its price, but another measure of the coin’s popularity could be its trading volume, or how much of the cryptocurrency is traded in the previous 24 hours....

The American Jobs Plan is an opportunity to build back from a pandemic which exasperated the inequities in our country, and recover from an election which continues to brutally divide our nation. We can leverage the stimulus investments to go much further than creating short-term jobs and economic relief. We can and must create a paradigm shift for future infrastructure investments by incentivizing co-benefits that extend across many populations, needs and time scales and have long-term economic payoffs....
Pereira put a lot of thought into each rule, but he hasn’t been afraid to change them a bit to benefit the league. “Honestly, we are a spring league and it is a new league – making the rules, 98% of the rules are NFL. When you’re making some changes like this, there’s no data,” Pereira told USA TODAY Sports last week. “Therefore it’s the kind of league where it can be four weeks into the season and you make the change....
