NFL Coach Jim Harbaugh Added to Lawsuit About Hacking Allegations Against Former Assistant
NFL coach Jim Harbaugh was added Friday to a lawsuit against the University of Michigan and a former assistant football coach who is accused of hacking into the computer accounts of college athletes across the US to look for intimate photos. Attorneys claim Harbaugh, who was Michigan's coach, and others knew that Matt Weiss was seen viewing private information on a computer in December 2022 but still allowed him to continue working as co-offensive coordinator in a national playoff game roughly a week later. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel and other officials were also added to the lawsuit in federal court in Detroit. 'The university's delay in taking meaningful protective action until after a high-stakes game sends a clear message: Student welfare was secondary,' said Parker Stinar, who is the lead lawyer in a class-action lawsuit arising from a criminal investigation of Weiss. Messages seeking comment from Manuel and Harbaugh, who is currently the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, were not immediately returned Friday. Separately, Weiss has been charged with identity theft and unauthorized computer access from 2015 to 2023. The indictment says he got access to the social media, email, and cloud storage accounts of more than 2,000 college athletes, as well as more than 1,300 students or alumni from schools across the US, to find private images, primarily of women. He has pleaded not guilty. 'Had Harbaugh implemented basic oversight of his staff, plaintiffs and the class would have been protected against predators such as Weiss,' the updated lawsuit states. 'Instead, Weiss was a highly compensated asset that was promoted by and within the football program, from which position he was able to and did target female student athletes.' The lawsuit says a staff member saw Weiss viewing private information at Schembechler Hall, headquarters for the football team, around December 21, 2022, and reported it before Michigan played Texas Christian University in a playoff game days later on December 31. Weiss was fired a few weeks later in January 2023 during an investigation of his computer use. Earlier this year, after charges were filed, Harbaugh told reporters that he didn't know anything about Weiss's troubles until after the playoff game. He said the allegations were 'shocking.' Weiss worked for Harbaugh's brother, John, on the coaching staff of the NFL's Baltimore Ravens before joining the Michigan team in 2021. The lawsuit says Weiss's university computer had encryption software that had to be disabled by an external vendor as part of the investigation. Authorities disclosed in April that thousands of intimate photos and videos were found on his electronic devices and cloud storage accounts.

NY Giants Standout Sends Stern Message to Odell Beckham Jr.
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Over the past week, Odell Beckham Jr. has had the football world buzzing about a possible return to the New York Giants. As he continues to pander to the fan base, one key member of the team sent a message to the former star wideout. This whole ordeal began in New York last weekend when Beckham was in attendance for Fanatics "Fanatic Fest." While on an interview panel, a fan in the crowd shouted to OBJ and begged him to return to the Giants this season. He proceeded to give the crowd what they wanted, responding with "I got you." Earlier this week, Beckham would continue to create intrigue about his suiting up for New York once again. He posted a series of photos on Instagram of him and his son Zydn outside of Metlife Stadium. In the caption, Beckham reminisced on his time in the famous venue while opening up on the joy fatherhood has brought him. Odell Beckham #13 of the New York Giants runs in for a touchdown during their game against Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium on October 8, 2017 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Odell Beckham #13 of the New York Giants runs in for a touchdown during their game against Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium on October 8, 2017 in East Rutherford, New Jersey."Mannn yo daddy did some Krazy shxt here," Beckham wrote. "We changed the game n inspired a generation who came behind us. We still got more to do... I'm loving every second I get wit u n can't wait to see what u do in this world.... Ur turn twin." Also read: Russell Wilson Cites Shocking Reason for Joining NY Giants As expected, Beckham being outside the Giants' stadium only added fuel to the fire regarding the chatter of a potential reunion. Among the most notable names to pop up in the comment section was standout wide receiver Malik Nabers. He too got in on the recruiting efforts, stating to Beckham that the job isn't finished yet. "We still got work to do," Nabers commented along with the smirking emoji. Long after Beckham's days in New York, Nabers has emerged as the latest touted receiver for the Giants. He put together an impressive rookie campaign after being drafted No. 6 overall, racking up 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Nabers also passed OBJ in the Giants' history books, setting a new rookie single-season reception record with 109. Also read: NFL Analyst Utters Bold Take on NY Giants Rookie Jaxson Dart Beckham, 32, still finds himself on the free-agent market a few weeks out from training camp. He spent last season with the Miami Dolphins, where he totaled just 55 yards across nine appearances. Years removed from his messy exit with the Giants, only time will tell if Beckham returns to New York in hopes of finishing out his career where it all began.

EKO Acropolis Rally Shakedown Highlights
Putting Jalen Ramsey Rumors to Bed | Steelers Morning Rush Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's putting to bed the incessant rumors connecting the Steelers to Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Ramsey has been on the block for months without a deal coming to the forefront, and the Steelers have been repeatedly connected to him, despite the lack of an obvious fit or need. ESPN's Adam Schefter put those rumors to bed for good on Tuesday, saying it's unlikely that the Steelers will acquire the former All-Pro. Instead, it seems much more likely that Ramsey will head to the West Coast, where he'd prefer to play, and the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams have more obvious fits for him in their depth charts. Alan breaks it down. #steelers #herewego #nfl CONNECT WITH STEELERS NOW: Steelers Now: SN on Twitter: SN on FB: SN on Insta: 5:50 Now Playing Paused Ad Playing
