2028 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials to return to Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium
The U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials will be held at the Indianapolis Colts' Lucas Oil Stadium for a second consecutive time in June 2028.
Then at the 2028 LA Games, swimming will be at SoFi Stadium, marking the first time Olympic swimming will be in an NFL venue.
Last year, Lucas Oil Stadium became the first NFL venue to hold an Olympic swimming trials. The 2024 trials broke attendance records with more than 285,000 fans across all sessions.
It will be the eighth time Indianapolis hosts the trials overall, extending the city's record for the most times holding the meet.
Previous trials in Indianapolis were held at the Indiana University Natatorium, which is the site for this week's U.S. Championships.
Indianapolis first hosted the men's trials in 1924, then did so again in 1952 (women), 1984, 1992, 1996 and 2000, when a 15-year-old Michael Phelps made his first Olympic team.

Indianapolis Colts' Tyler Warren left off 2025 All-Rookie team projection
Indianapolis Colts' TE Tyler Warren was left off a recent 2025 All-Rookie team projection. Gennaro Filice of put together his projected All-Rookie team for the 2025 season, and not included was Indianapolis Colts' tight end Tyler Warren. With only one tight end making Filice's All-Rookie team, he went with Chicago's Colston Loveland over Warren. "Standing 6-6, 241 pounds, Loveland is a tight end who runs routes with the fluidity of a wideout," Filice wrote about Loveland. "That's what makes him special. And that's what made Sam LaPorta a rookie Pro Bowler under Ben Johnson in Detroit, so it stands to reason that Johnson will get the most out of Loveland in Chicago." Loveland was the first tight end off the board, going No. 10 overall to the Bears. How each team viewed Loveland and Warren in the draft really came down to what they were looking for at the tight end position. As Daniel Jeremiah described during the pre-draft process, Loveland comes from the Travis Kelce tree of tight ends and is a pass-catching threat first. Warren, meanwhile, comes from the Rob Gronkowski tree, able to impact the passing game but also leaving his mark in the run game as a blocker. Warren has been "very active" in the Colts' passing game during OTAs and minicamp and will make a quick impact on this offense. He can provide that unit with a big middle of the field target, and also add some unpredictability to the offense with his do-it-all skill set. 'He's been phenomenal so far," Shane Steichen said of Warren during minicamp, via NBC Sports. "Obviously, I know we don't have pads on, but his movement skills, great feel, great instincts. It'll be good this week to get another week of that work in, and then going into training camp will be great for him.' However, when it comes to being left off Filice's list, one would guess that also a part of that equation is each team's quarterback situation. Although Filice didn't mention the Colts specifically, there are obvious unknowns under center this season, while the combination of Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams has many very bullish on the Bears.

5 Tennessee Titans games named 'the least watchable' of 2025 season
When the NFL released the regular season schedule for 2025, many were shocked that the Tennessee Titans would not play any primetime games. While the league's spokesperson outlined the reasoning for this, it was still a bit of an outlier as compared to past league history. Of course, with no one knowing what to expect from the Titans in 2025, keeping them out of primetime may be the safest way to go for the NFL and the networks, who rely on viewership and advertising as part of their revenue stream. With many analysts predicting another horrid season ahead, the current excitement could easily disappear if the losses begin to pile up. Even before the start of the season, multiple Titans matchups have been named among the league's least watchable games. The matrix used analyzed every game, filtering it through an algorithm based on win-loss disparity, Super Bowl odds, and initial point spreads, and then allowed the computers to do their work. Giants, Browns, Titans Top 'Bottom' List The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans each appear 5 times on our Top 25 Least Watchable Games list this season. Three Week 18 games fill out the bottom of the list. The Tennessee Titans game at Jacksonville in Week 18 rates as the least watchable of all the 272 NFL games this season. The Carolina Panthers game across the state of Florida during Week 18 and the in-state rivalry between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns are close behind. When it's all over, the Titans will join the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns with five games on top of the least watchable games list on their schedule. That includes the league's least watchable game of the season, as released by their computers, the Week 18 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The other least watchable games are against the Arizona Cardinals (Week 5), Las Vegas Raiders (Week 6), and San Francisco 49ers (Week 15). Ironically, all Titans road games in 2025, an incredible feat for a team that hasn't won a home game in regulation since the 2023 season. Luckily, there are many things that must still play out before the first snap is taken this year, and things will change across the league. There are still player additions, injuries, and a myriad of other questions that must be answered during training camp before an accurate assessment can be made, especially for a young team like the Titans. Right now, this should be viewed as more bulletin board material as they prepare for the season.

John Harbaugh's legendary career gets its due with eye-opening HC ranking
The proper respect is given to the Ravens' John Harbaugh in a recent ranking of NFL head coaches. Whenever we discuss the Baltimore Ravens' rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers, we mention bruised bodies and longtime animosity. We mention legends and Pro Football Hall of Famers, and though we talk about the longevity of two great head coaches, we probably don't delve into what they have accomplished often enough. No two current leaders of any two football teams have met at midfield to exchange postgame handshakes more often than John Harbaugh and Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin. In total, they've locked horns 38 times, and it will be a long time before any two meet or exceed their number. Harbaugh enters year 18 as Ravens head coach. His tenure is second only to, you guessed it, Mike Tomlin. He enters year 19. John Harbaugh lands third on Pro Football Network's ranking of NFL head coaches. Time has flown. Though he still looks like he is in his twenties, Harbaugh's near-20-year run enters another season with much on the line. The same is true for Tomlin. The Steelers will be expected to qualify for postseason contention as well. Their annual pair of clashes will have much to say about where they are seeded. Pro Football Network's Brandon Austin recently ranked the NFL's head coaches. These two rivals both earned top-ten rankings. Tomlin lands at seven. Harbaugh is ranked third. Here's Austin's reasoning behind placing John among the top three. "John Harbaugh has been a model of consistency since taking over as the Baltimore Ravens' head coach in 2008. A Super Bowl champion, Harbaugh has delivered double-digit win seasons in six of the past seven years, with just one losing record since 2016... Harbaugh's adaptability is one of his greatest strengths. He won with Joe Flacco. Then, once Lamar Jackson arrived, he and the staff reshaped the team around his unique skill set, and it worked faster than many expected." No lies have been told so far. Let's continue... "Harbaugh has stood the test of time, battling in two separate loaded AFC eras. He went toe-to-toe with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger. Now, he's perennially challenging Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow for conference supremacy." Coach Harbaugh is only exceeded on this list by Andy Reid and Sean McVay. Nick Sirianni (ranked fourth) and Dan Campbell (fifth) round out the top five. Kyle Shanahan (sixth), Jim Harbaugh (eighth), Matt LaFleur (ninth), and Sean Payton (tenth) round out the top ten. Typically, when we discuss the brilliance of what we see on the sidelines weekly, Harbaugh isn't brought up. Some see that as being disrespectful. That's understandable, but perhaps this happiness serves another purpose. Could an argument be made that John Harbaugh is so good that he is taken for granted? Don't worry. Another Vince Lombardi Trophy will place him in rare air. He'll have a chance to win one next February as, thanks to his leadership, Baltimore will again be among the AFC's top Super Bowl contenders.
