    Hue Jackson won’t backpedal on the backstroke.

    He vowed Wednesday to make good on his promise to swim in Lake Erie if the Browns went 1-15 again, and they’re 0-15 heading into Sunday’s season finale in Pittsburgh.

    “So how many people are jumping in the lake with me?” he said at the start of his press conference Wednesday. “Obviously I’ve got to get wet. I get it. I can pick a day and get everyone out there, we’ll all be in swimsuits and trunks and snorkels and all that.”

    For real?

    “Heck, yeah. I got to,” he said.

    While the jury is still out on the extent to which facial recognition technology will be used globally years from now, many tech firms are continuing to push ahead with its development, with big players like Apple going so far as to incorporate it into its flagship iPhone X handset.

    Now the organizing committee of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics is taking notice of the technology, and wants to use it on a huge scale at the global sporting extravaganza, sources told the Japan Times recently.

    Developed by NEC Corp., the committee said the system would aid security by eliminating the problem of forged or stolen ID cards, and also speed up the flow of athletes, officials, and media personnel entering the venues. It’s estimated the system will manage up to 400,000 people, marking the biggest ever deployment of facial recognition technology at an Olympic Games.

    There are very few honors left to bestow upon Katie Ledecky that the two-time Olympic swimmer hasn’t already received, and yet she added another to the résumé on Tuesday.

    Ledecky was named the Associate Press Female Athlete of the Year, beating out fellow Olympians Serena Williams and Allyson Felix to become the eighth female swimmer and first since Amy Van Dyken 21 years ago to win the award.

    The 20-year-old Ledecky, who is a sophomore at Stanford, also becomes the first active college athlete to win since UConn basketball player Rebecca Lobo in 1995.
