Though it’s not so hot or muggy in my corner of the country this week, folks are still getting a little tetchy here in late summer. Here’s a ranking of current sports beefs I’m monitoring, from least to most concerning.

Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps vs. USA Swimming — This weekend’s world championships had everything: a rampant stomach virus that decimated Team USA, another jaw-dropping win from village elder Katie Ledecky (that’s sarcasm, she’s 28) and … two of the most famous American Olympians posting a seemingly AI-generated image proclaiming the downfall of their country’s swim program? Huh. At least everyone’s got three years to figure this out before the Los Angeles Games. Level of concern: one hamburger patty.
