Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Kennedy Blades landed one of the crazies throws in Olympic history on her run to the gold. During her opening round match Sunday in the 76g competition against Cătălina Axente from Romania, Blades—a 20-year-old phenom from Chicago, jumped behind her opponent, grabbed a body lock and launched Axente into the air before bringing her crashing back down to the canvas. The five-point suplex earned a huge reaction from the Paris crowd as the throw ended the match with Kennedy winning 11-0 on technical superiority (a 10-point lead in freestyle ends the match).

Ben Askren feels there may be something behind the scenes when it comes to Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic.
