Noah Lyles and Michael Phelps at the Cardinals game—who's the bigger sports icon in your eyes?

If you’ve been keeping up with the sports drama, you’ve probably heard about the heated back-and-forth between the track and field powerhouse Noah Lyles and the NFL star Tyreek Hill. Lyles, with all his Olympic confidence, is set on ‘destroying’ Hill in a race, brushing off the NFL star’s challenge like it’s no big deal. He’s calling this whole beef “one-sided” and doesn’t seem fazed at all.

It all kicked off when Lyles threw shade, questioning if Super Bowl champs could really be called ‘World Champs.’ Hill wasn’t having it, so he clapped back by mentioning Lyles’ 200-meter race and challenged him to a 50-yard race. Hill went on the Up & Adams show, saying, “I’ll beat Noah Lyles… not by much, but I’ll beat him.” But Lyles? He was unbothered and ready to prove Hill wrong. In the middle of all this drama, Noah Lyles is back in the NFL headlines, but this time it’s not even about an NFL player.

At a recent NFL clash between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams, fans were in for a surprise! Noah Lyles was spotted mingling with none other than swimming legend Michael Phelps, alongside the entire Phelps family. The NFL’s official Instagram had a field day with this golden moment, posting stories of the two Olympic icons casually chatting and sharing smiles on the field. Their caption? Oh, just a little nod to greatness—“spotted a couple of gold medalists.”Now that’s a power duo you don’t see every day!

And Noah Lyles didn’t let that moment slip by—he reposted the story on his own Instagram, making sure everyone saw the golden vibes he was bringing to the NFL world. It looks like he’s winning off the track too!

While that golden moment was definitely a highlight, the NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Rams was pretty wild too. The Arizona Cardinals obliterated the Los Angeles Rams with a score of 41-10. What a game! An epic match with an iconic duo on the sidelines—was about a day to remember!

But guess what? This isn’t the first time Noah Lyles and Michael Phelps have made headlines together. Believe it or not, according to a track and field legend, these two could totally rock it not just on the Olympic stage but as football players too. Well, that’s what the fastest man alive had to say!

A few months ago, track and field phenom Usain Bolt put together his dream Soccer Aid lineup, and guess who he picked? Yup, himself and the powerhouse duo of Noah Lyles and Michael Phelps! Imagine that team—talk about a combo of speed and skill! Bolt’s reason for picking them? He said with a beaming smile, “I definitely think Phelps would maybe be a good keeper because of the diving.” And as for Lyles, Bolt added, “Noah Lyles because of his confidence.”

A little speed mixed with some splash? You can’t go wrong with that! But Bolt didn’t just pick Lyles and Phelps; he added a whole crew of legends to his Soccer Aid lineup. We’re talking about Asafa Powell, Nesta Carter, Mo Farah, Michael Johnson, Don Quarrie, Donovan Bailey, and Daniel Bailey. Now that’s what you call a dream team!
