1. Orange crushing it.

Today in interesting tidbits: four of the thirteen members of the Dutch field hockey team are openly gay, a factoid served up by OutSports co-founder Jim Buzinski. Another interesting thing about the Dutch field hockey team: they’re ridiculously good looking. [SB Nation]

2. U.S. Volleyballer will play through the pinkeye.

An acute case of conjunctivitis won’t stop beach volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings from competing in London. Memo to whoever farted on her pillow: your plan failed. [Fox Sports]

3. Elin Nordegren: back in the saddle!

Tiger’s ex-wife was spotted in a Stockholm nightclub with Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray. Hopefully, this is the first of many public relationships for a revenge-minded former Mrs. Woods, aka “Project: GET IT GRRRRL.” [Larry Brown Sports]

4. “First time I’ve gotten horny covering the Olympics!”

A Denver Post writer who’s relatively new to Twitter sent what he thought was a private message to a female follower. It wasn’t. Oh, old people. [The Big Lead]

5. Not sports related, still important.

Snoop Dogg is no more. Enter Snoop Lion. [Geekosystem]
