Wednesday's A.M. Hot Clicks: Genevieve Morton; Lionel Messi Meets Biggest Fan

In Wednesday morning's Hot Clicks, Lionel Messi meets his biggest fan, and Genevieve Morton is the lovely lady of the day.

Messi Meets His Biggest Fan

Remember the young Afghan boy who became an internet star after wearing a Lionel Messi jersey made from a plastic bag? He finally met his idol and did not want to let him go.

As Long As We Got Each Other

Bummed to hear about the death of Alan Thicke, my favorite TV sitcom dad of the 1980s. People.com has a nice tribute and reaction from the other celebs. Like most Canadians, Thicke was an enormous hockey fan and a big influence on a young Wayne Gretzky, as this 1981 SI Vault story reveals.

#Wakeyleaks

So this is one of the stranger sports stories of the past few years. Former Wake Forest coach (and current TV analyst) Tommy Elrod has provided confidential gameplan information to opposing teams since 2014. I'm sure there are more layers to this story yet to unfold but SI's Mike Rosenberg's piece is worth a few minutes of your time.

Not sure how closely you've studied the 2017 calendar market but Genevieve Morton is going all nude for hers. I applaud this decision. She is today's LLOD.

Justin Bieber is a badass on the hockey rink and wants you to know about it. Or a better theory: This is all staged.
