    Michael Phelps retires: The greatest Olympian ever goes out on top
    On the night of Aug. 7, a Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Michael Phelps swam the first race of his fifth and (Definitely! Probably. Maybe?) final Olympics. He churned through the pale-blue water of a 50-meter pool inside an arena that, like much of the surreal Games of 2016, seemed not quite ready.

College Football 24/7 Hot Topics: "It's just a first-round grade, and I'm trying to see if I can get more in-depth information around it.
