Sometimes life isn’t so bad after all. Sometimes, the good guys win. Sometimes, fantasy and reality collide to create something special. This is one of those sometimes.

The TCU Horned Frogs basketball team has been in Australia since August 5, doing various preseason summer tournaments and such. However, what would usually be a nondescript journey to the other side of the world turned into a rather enjoyable viral story for fans of The Office.

After a game on Sunday against a team only identified as the Longhorns, the TCU basketball team posted the box score to their Twitter account.

Apparently, the Horned Frogs opponents were assigned names before the game, so they went with the namesakes of the legendary Scranton Dunder Mifflin squad.

Of course, Jim was the alpha of the squad, pouring in a cool 28 points on 75% shooting from three, with another 9 boards.

Miko Grimes, the outspoken wife of Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes, has found her way back into the public spotlight thanks to HBO’s Hard Knocks.

Miko Grimes is one of the most, ahem, outspoke WAGs in all of sports. There’s no doubt that she has no chill and gives zero f—s as evidenced by her brash, unfiltered comments over the years. She’s ready and willing to say absolutely anything on social media, especially when it comes to defending her NFL cornerback husband Brent Grimes.

Miko has gone out of her way to roast everyone including NFL reporter Greg Rosenthal, broadcaster Sage Steele and even Kate Upton. She’s a fearless s— talker, which we respect.

And thanks to HBO’s Hard Knocks, she’s back on her bullsh*t, chirping at every camera in sight:

“I just text the s— out of him on game day,” she said. “Just whatever I’m thinking about, just pumping him up, hyping him up, talking s— about the quarterback he’s going to play against, or some of the s— in the media, another receiver, if he’s talking s—.”

“Brent is just like me. Brent talks s—,” Grimes said in her HBO debut. “But if he doesn’t get to know you, he doesn’t feel like you deserve knowing who he really is, and I like that about him.”

Say what you will about her personality, Miko’s got quite the body on her, which must make putting up with her wildness a little easier.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Latest Episode Accidentally Aired By HBO Spain, Episode & Spoilers Now Everywhere

Yikes. Chalk up an L for another foreign branch of HBO.

A couple of weeks after HBO India got hacked for episode 4, “The Spoils of War”, HBO Spain appears to have accidentally aired the latest episode in the middle of the night, leading to leaks and spoilers all over the web.

While it’s another embarrassing mistake from HBO during their biggest show’s penultimate season, in the end, it won’t make a difference, as this week’s episode is poised to shatter previous records set by the show. After all, episode 4, “The Spoils of War” leaked and still set all sorts of records.

No doubt that this episode will, too.

via The Verge:

An unaired episode of Game of Thrones has appeared on the internet this morning. Episode six, due to be aired on Sunday, appeared first on file sharing sites and a Reddit post. Reddit users spotted that the episode was accidentally aired by HBO Nordic in Spain for an hour before it was removed. The episode six appearance follows a similar leak of episode four around two weeks ago.

The previous leak was related to a distribution partner in India, and HBO has confirmed to The Verge that the company accidentally posted it on its own platforms. “We have learned that the upcoming episode of Game of Thrones was accidentally posted for a brief time on the HBO Nordic and HBO España platforms,” says a HBO spokesperson. “The error appears to have originated with a third-party vendor and the episode was removed as soon as it was recognized. This is not connected to the recent cyber incident at HBO in the US.”

While the title of this weekend’s episode has yet to be officially released (rumors suggest it’s titled ‘Death is the Enemy’), whatever it’s called, it’s shaping up to be the most epic episode of the show to date.

If, for whatever reason, you’re looking for spoilers and plot details for the upcoming episode, you can find those here:

Following the dismissal of Anthony “The Mooch” Scarramucci, Hope Hicks, one of Donald Trump’s longest serving political aides, has been named White House communications director at only 28-years-old.

For those who are political neophytes like myself, this is Hope Hicks. Hope Charlotte Hicks, born October 21, 1988, is President Donald J. Trump’s longest serving political aide and is the current White House communications director.

Hicks previously served as the press secretary and early communications director for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, as well as the national press secretary for his presidential transition team. In January 2017, Hicks was honored with a spot on Forbes’ “30 under 30” list, having “served as a one-woman press team for Trump’s historic presidential campaign.” She also served as the White House’s director of strategic communications.

So, yeah, not only is this chick a dime, she’s been a one-lady-wrecking-crew for one of the biggest political movements this country has ever seen. Quite impressive.

COED wishes Hicks the best of luck in her new position, widely regarded as one of the most difficult jobs on earth.

Hope Hicks, only 28-year-old, is President Donald J. Trump’s longest serving political aide and has been named the interim White House communications director. Hicks replaces Anthony Scaramucci, who only lasted 10 days in the position.

Hicks previously served as the press secretary and early communications director for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, as well as the national press secretary for his presidential transition team. She also served as the White House’s director of strategic communications.

In January 2017, Hicks was honored with a spot on Forbes’ “30 under 30” list, having “served as a one-woman press team for Trump’s historic presidential campaign.”

On Wednesday, August 14, Hicks was named as the interim White House communications director.

via New York Times:

President Trump’s longtime aide Hope Hicks will serve as the interim White House director of communications and will help the president find a permanent person for the job, the administration said Wednesday.

However temporary it is, it was the latest reshuffling in the White House and comes at a time when the president’s remarks on white supremacists were drawing fire from Democrats and Republicans. The role of communications director is to set a clear and direct message coming from the White House each day.

Ms. Hicks, 28, already is considered one of the most important people in the president’s communications orbit and has the most sway over who in the news media gets interviews with the president. Her current title is director of strategic communications.

Not only does Hicks of the beauty, but the brains, too, as she’s been a one-lady-wrecking-crew for one of the biggest political movements this country has ever seen. Quite impressive.

We wish you good fortune in the wars to come, Ms. Hicks.

Mary Zolkowski, a 21-year-old Delta College student, has been charged after she falsely claimed that she was raped on the school’s campus.

Zolkowski, 21, claimed that she was raped at the Delta College campus in Bay City, Michigan on February 22 while walking to her car.

When speaking to police, Zolkowski said that she only saw the attacker’s hands and ‘kind of blacked out’ during the attack.

Appearing in Bay County District Cour on Monday, August 14, Zolkowski was charged one count of false report of a felony. If convicted, she faces up to four years of imprisonment and a $2,000 fine.

via MLive:

The evening of Feb. 22, Zolkowski’s mother called the Delta College Public Safety Office and said her daughter was claiming to have been raped on campus, 1961 Delta Road in Frankenlust Township. On the phone with police herself, Zolkowski said that about 5:50 p.m. that day, she had been walking to her vehicle, fumbling with her keys, when a man grabbed her from behind. She said he grabbed her face and throat and proceeded to rape her, not wearing a condom as he did so.

She said she only saw her attacker’s hands during the incident. When it was over, the assailant jumped into the passenger seat of a vehicle and took off. Zolkowski could not provide a description of the vehicle, adding she “kind of blacked out,” court records show. Zolkowski allegedly told police she did not want a physical examination, nor did she want investigators coming to her house.

The next day, Zolkowski met with Public Safety Director Robert Battinkoff and Delta’s Title IX Coordinator Loyce Brown on campus. She allegedly told them she had dropped her courses due to the incident, but it was later determined she dropped classes prior to Feb. 22.

Zolkowski next court appearance is scheduled for August 29.

Esports Now Game News: Updates & Must-See Details – 08/16/17

Esports is on the rise and the NCAA is starting to take notice. Welcome back to another edition of Esports Now Game News! The NCAA is considering including competitive gaming as a collegiate sport. In other news, does abstaining from sex make you a better gamer? That’s a “yes,” according to Newbee e-gamer Li “Vasilii” Weijun and even Edward Gaming CEO Huang Cheng warned gamers to “stay away from girlfriends.”

Does Abstinence Improve Your Video Game Performance?

According to League of Legends player Li “Vasilii” Weijun, he played much better when he wasn’t sexually active. He told fans that after taking a leave of absence as a result of a cold, he engaged in “sensual pleasures,” and upon returning to competition, his gaming skills had greatly diminished. This kinda reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when George Costanza became super smart after abstaining from sex and then once he banged a Portuguese waitress, it was back to same old dummy George.

Vasilli said that he’s now “adjusting to abstinence” to improve his level of gaming on the keyboard. In a statement, he said, “The club maintained its winning streak, so it wasn’t necessary for me to play. I let myself indulge in sensual pleasures for awhile. This led to me playing poorly.”

Edward Gaming CEO Huang Cheng would agree with Vasilii’s decision to stop having sex. Cheng advises players to stay “away from girlfriends” and “on the abstinent path.”

However, both Cheng and Vasilii abstained from using any scientific examples or proof to back up their claims.


NCAA wants some Esports up in their System

College are really warming up to the competitive gaming community. Some skilled collegiate players have been offered partial and even full tuition. Meanwhile, this October, the NCAA will be taking a serious look into Esports. The National Collegiate Athletic Association is considering absorbing Esports in the same vein as basketball and football.

However, the National Association of Collegiate Esports does not believe NCAA’s current structure could sustain Esports.

Executive Director Michael Brooks told ESPN that, “The majority of varsity programs have been built intentionally to stay separate of the NCAA’s oversight… unless  there are some pretty dramatic exceptions being considered specifically for esports, the NCAA would be unlikely to be able to absorb esports under its banner.”

Texas Police Searching For Man Who Allegedly Made Love To A Chain Link Fence

Eliodoro Estala, a 32-year-old Austin, Texas resident who allegedly had sex with a chain-link fence, is on the run from authorities after he did not show up at his scheduled court appearance last week.

Estala, 32, was charged with indecent exposure after the alleged incident that happened six months ago near Fieldwood Drive in Austin.

The Travis County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a man, Estala, having sex with a fence on March 1. In 2010, Estala had previously been convicted in 2010 for drunken driving.

According to The Houston Chronicle, a witness told police she saw her neighbor peeing on the fence and began filming him.

via Houston Chronicle:

She said he took off his clothes and began to perform imaginary sexual acts on the fence that escalated in lewdness. Eventually, Estala allegedly began to have sex with the fence – including penetrating the fence– which he apparently believed to be a woman.

When officers arrived, they reportedly found Estala walking out of his duplex in a drunken stupor. Though he denied it, officers arrested him anyway after identifying him in the witness’ photographs.

He posted bond after his initial arrest which has since been forfeited.

What else did the police expect him to say? “Ya got me! That was totally me doing the nasty with that inanimate fence! Cuff me coppers!”

Since authorities have yet to find Estala, I would advice them to check the nearest scrap yard — sounds like a paradise for a pev like this dude.

Forty years ago today, Elvis Presley passed away. He was known as the king of rock ‘n’ roll who sold out concerts and troubled parents and censors as young women went crazy for sexually-suggestive dance moves and lyrics. Presley was the original bad boy of rock, who went on to become the one of the defining features of 20th century American culture. Elvis laid the foundation for many top musicians of yesteryear to today.

August 16, 1977 is the date when rock ‘n’ roll stood still.

Elvis starred in numerous high-grossing films such as Blue Hawaii (1961), Jailhouse Rock (1957), Love Me Tender (1956), and many more. He’s a legend among legends. Let’s take a long-studied look at Elvis Presley’s words of wisdom…

The Mother Of Charlottesville Victim Heather Heyer Gave An Inspirational Speech At Her Funeral

CNN

Susan Bro, the mother of 32-year-old Charlottesville victim Heather Heyer, spoke today at her daughter’s service, saying that the White Nationalists responsible for her death only “just magnified her.”

“They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what: you just magnified her,” Bro said.

via Uproxx:

Hundreds of people attended a memorial service on Wednesday for Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman who was tragically murdered at a rally in Charlottesville over the weekend by a white nationalist who mowed through a crowd of counter-protesters. Her memorial takes place just a day after Donald Trump stood before reporters and defended white nationalists, making sure to take the time to brag about how Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, said “the nicest things” about him.

Bro didn’t have anything to say about the president, nice or otherwise, while speaking at her daughter’s memorial, however she did have some powerful words for the group ultimately responsible for her death. After remembering Heather’s caring, compassionate, and outgoing personality, Bro said, “I think the reason that what happened to Heather has struck a chord, is because we know what she did is achievable. We don’t all have to die. We don’t all have to sacrifice our lives.”

Heyer, a 32-year-old native of Greene County, graduated from William Monroe High School and was currently working as a paralegal. According to Heyer’s LinkedIn profile, she worked for Miller Law Group PC in Virginia as a legal assistant.

Her fervor for helping the disenfranchised spurred the young Heyer to walk the streets of Charlottesville, protesting white nationalists who seek to protect the status of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, where she was eventually killed by White Nationalist James Fields.

Heather died a hero. May she rest in peace.

Anthony was selected 3rd overall in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. From the beginning, Carmelo Anthony showed undeniable scoring ability and averaged 21 PPG his rookie season and 20.8 in his sophomore year. As he began to flourish into an NBA Star, Carmelo Anthony went on a scoring tear and averaged 23.6 points per game for the next 11 seasons. These would be the years that would eventually define the career of Carmelo Anthony. Within these seasons, Carmelo Anthony was a fantastic franchise player for the Denver Nuggets. After his second year, Anthony played another four seasons with Denver in which he averaged 26.5, 28.9, 25.7 and 22.8 PPG. Along with his scoring accomplishments, Carmelo Anthony led the 2009 Denver Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals where the team feel short to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

In 2011 Carmelo Anthony would find himself at the center of a paramount trade that would send him to his new home, New York. After the New York Knicks welcomed their new star player, the city was ecstatic to see where their team was headed. With a core of Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire, the New York Knicks appeared to be destined for great seasons to come. For the first year, The Knicks had a 36-30 record and were qualifiers for the NBA Playoffs as they made the sixth seed. The second year, the Knicks won 54 games and were one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, making the number 4 seed. The years proceeding began the demise of the franchise. From personal issues within the locker room to players not being able to perform in games; it was clear that the Knicks had difficulty winning. The 2013 season, the New York Knicks won 37 games under Mike Woodson. The following seasons, they won 17, 32 and 31 games.

An immense blemish on Carmelo Anthony’s career is the fact that he has not won a championship. With this in mind, Carmelo Anthony requested a trade to go to the Houston Rockets. Here, he would team up with James Harden and Chris Paul and form a new “super team”. Playing for this team would give Carmelo Anthony a star studded supporting cast to assist him in the Western Conference.

No one in the world likes to spend money on textbooks. You buy these expensive books at the beginning of the semester, pay a ton of money up front, and then possibly won’t ever need them again until finals. Then there’s the whole issue of re-selling. Don’t even get us started.

There are obviously a lot of problems with the current system of textbooks, but the good news is now it looks like there’s finally a solution that helps you deal with those issues.

Meet FundMyTextbooks: it’s a new collaboration between GoFundMe (the #1 crowdfunding site in the world) and iFlipd (the only pay-as-you-go weekly textbook rental marketplace). It’s never been easier to get help paying for your books. Simply start a fund, hit up your network for contributions (hello, grandparents!), and the money goes straight into your iFlipd account to pay for your books. With iFlipd, you’ll be able to rent (not buy) your textbooks at a low weekly rate and keep them for only as long as you need.

Are some of your family members technologically challenged? That’s OK because probably the best part about the system is that you sign yourself up, then share your account with your family/friends. GoFundMe makes the whole process extra easy for everyone.

We know that the Fall semester is right around the corner, so signing up for a FundMyTextbooks is a good idea now. That way you can send around the emails and links ASAP, leaving you time to worry about more fun things–like scoring your student section tickets or planning your welcome week party.

Spanish Super Cup Live Stream: Watch Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Leg 2 Online

On August 16, the second leg of the 2017 Spanish Super Cup will take place between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Barcelona, led by Lionel Messi, will look to rally after losing the first leg of the final 3-1 on their home turf at Camp Nou last Sunday. However, doing so will not be easy. If Barcelona hopes to lift the trophy for the second consecutive year, it will have to travel to Real Madrid’s home turf and play a relatively perfect game.

Barcelona looked extremely overwhelmed by Real Madrid’s counter attacks in the first leg and gave up two phenomenal goals to Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Asensio in addition to an own goal in the 50th minute. In addition to the questionable defending, Barcelona looked extremely uncomfortable in the offensive end. With Neymar, one of their best scorers and playmakers, joining PSG in exchange for a record 222 million euros, Barcelona’s offense now solely relies on Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. Neymar was the one who used tremendous skills on the wing in order to create extra space for Messi and Suarez to operate. However, with Neymar gone, Real Madrid can now focus its defense entirely on Messi and Suarez which will make it extremely difficult for Barcelona to score on a regular basis.

In addition to the loss of a great player, Barcelona also has to deal with a very hostile environment and overcome a two goal difference on the goal aggregate. To make matters worse, Real Madrid scored three goals on the road which means that Barcelona will have to score at least three goals at Real Madrid’s home stadium in order to have a chance at winning the title. If Barcelona only wins by a score of 2-0, then it will lose on the away goal tiebreaker and Real Madrid will become the new champion even though the goal aggregate would be tied at three apiece. I expect Barcelona to apply heavy pressure for the entire game and go “ultra-attacking” in the hopes of generating enough scoring chances to pull off this monumental comeback.

On Sunday, Real Madrid continued to look like the best team in the world. After winning the Champions League for the second straight year, Real Madrid has continued to dominate its opponents including longtime rival Barcelona. Real Madrid used Barcelona’s aggressiveness against them and scored multiple goals via counter-attacks despite only possessing the ball for 40% of the match. Real Madrid looked practically unbeatable on Sunday and will look to become Spanish Super League champions for the first time since 2012. However, Real Madrid will be without its best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, for the second leg after he received a red card in the 82nd minute on Sunday. CR7 is, arguably, the best player in the world and it is truly a huge loss for Real Madrid. However, Real Madrid is already up two goals on aggregate so it still has a great chance to win the championship despite being without its best player.

Personally, I see Barcelona winning the second leg by a score of 2-1. I think that Barcelona’s aggressiveness will initially cause Real Madrid some issues. However, I expect Real Madrid to play extremely defensive in order to preserve its two goal lead on aggregate. Real Madrid knows that it does not need to win the second leg in order to win the cup. Therefore, I expect Real Madrid to focus on limiting Barcelona’s scoring chances and Real Madrid will become the Spanish Super Cup champions as a result.

Jennifer Kline, a 51-year-old former beauty queen, is facing five years in prison after she was convicted of felony theft. Kline was arrested for switching price tags on clothes she bought and returned at a local Minnesota Macy’s. Kline was convicted of one count of felony theft by swindle charge.

According to the Hannepin County District Attorney’s office, Kline, who won the 1989 Mrs. America Pageant-winner, was found guilty of stealing more than $5,500 worth of merchandise from the Macy’s in Southdale, Minnesota. She faces up to five years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on October 18.

Local authorities say that Kline would buy clothes at the Southdale Macy’s. She would then take the price tags off the new clothes and attach them to old clothing, then returning them to the Macy’s at the Mall of America in nearby Bloomington, Minnesota.

Kline would ask for full refund for the item by showing the receipts for the clothes purchased at the Macy’s in Southdale.

via Minnesota Star Tribune:

The trial in Hennepin County District Court lasted a week. The jury determined that the amount of the theft was more than $1,000 but less than $5,000.

The scheme, according to court documents, involved Kline buying expensive clothes, then taking them home and attaching the price tags from the new clothes onto clothing she already owned. She would then return the old clothes to a different Macy’s store for a large refund on her credit card.

Kline admitted that she had a supply of plastic tag holders and the equipment to attach the price tags to clothing.

Her attorney argued that Kline made a dumb mistake but that it was Macy’s fault for having such an easy return policy. Kline, 51, won the title of Mrs. Minnesota in 1989 and was a TV host on the ShopNBC/Evine Live program.

Although Minnesota state law recommended a five-year sentence for Klien’s charges, the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines asked for a stayed sentence and up to a year in jail as punishment
