Respected ESPN Journo Bob Ley Has Twitter Account Hacked, Fake Links To “Maria Sharapova Naked” Ensue

Bob Ley is one of my favorites. The man just oozes respectability and journalistic integrity, and his Important News Man Voice is possibly the best in the business. Seriously, watch an episode of Outside the Lines the next time you’re home sick from work, and you’ll be watching a man who’s doing it right. (There’s also a chance he’ll read Jay-Z lyrics in that Important News Man Voice, in which case your life will be changed forever, my friend.)

So it’s with great sadness that I inform you that Bob Ley’s Twitter account was hacked, and the culprit is using the social media platform for one of sports media’s most distinguished personalities to link to… dirty pix.

For shame, Twitter Hacker Who Hacked Bob Ley. This man is an eight-time Sports Emmy winner! The least you could’ve done is tweeted naked pictures that had a touch of class. Maybe some photos of BUTT ASS NAKED British royalty or something.

Just as I’m writing this, Bob Ley has returned to Twitter to clear the air/not miss a beat.

Leave it to Bob Freakin’ Ley to drop a US-Israeli computer virus reference in his “Sorry I got hacked” tweet. Even in the wake of fake naked Sharapova photos, the man is a well of information.
