No One is Ever Hacked

Bobby Petrino says a hacker was the one who liked that porn-y tweet? Oh, for sure man. Just like Kurt Rambis. And Draymond Green. When will Russia stop hacking prominent Americans to influence political elections and/or make sports people look horny?

Odds & Ends

I’m kind of stunned Odell Beckham is only No. 32 on our list of the 100 best NFL players. ... Wait, Avalanche coach Patrick Roy quit just a month before training camp? ... Olympic gymnasts are shrinking. ... Are you guys old enough (or young enough) to care that there’s a new Green Day single? ... There could be a Scarface remake in the works. ... This Olympic rugby highlight is badass. ... Even Michael Phelps’s rivals treat him like a god. ... A CFL team is accused of some NCAA-style cheating. ...  Rio Galleries: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6.
