was at fault but an appeals court overturned the decision. The ruling Wednesday concludes the case and mascots everywhere can rest easy.

Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker Media

If you haven't been paying attention, Hulk Hogan sued Gawker Media for over $100 million after Deadspin published his sex tape. The case begins July 4 and Gawker founder Nick Denton may have to shut down all the Gawker sites (Deadspin, Lifehacker, Jezebel, Gizmodo, Jalopnik and others) if Hogan wins. 

Bill Belichick is the Best

Name one other NFL head coach who would require his assistants to run laps. 

Lovely Lady of the Day

If you were to say to me, "Hey Andy. Who are the five best-looking women in the world?" My response would include Melanie Iglesias. I'd have to think about the other four and I'm on a deadline so I don't have time. Anyhow, it's Melanie's birthday and she gets LLOD honors (click here for full-size gallery). 

Jeff Luhnow Knows Password Hygiene

SI's Ben Reiter scored an interview with Astros GM Jeff Luhnow, whose highly-sensitive baseball data was allegedly hacked by members of the Cardinals front office. It's obviously worth a read since this is the craziest sports story in a while, but I particularly loved this quote: "I absolutely know about password hygiene and best practices. I’m certainly aware of how important passwords are, as well as of the importance of keeping them updated. A lot of my job in baseball, as it was in high tech, is to make sure that intellectual property is protected. I take that seriously and hold myself and those who work for me to a very high standard."
