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.

The Golden Bachelor star Mel Owens has fans calling for his exit after controversial ageist comments
It's only been a few months since ABC announced that former NFL player Mel Owens will become the next Golden Bachelorette, but he's already causing fans to call for his exit. The 66-year-old Detroit native and University of Michigan alum played nine seasons for the Los Angeles Rams from 1981 to 1989, and then transitioned into a financial advisor and then a lawyer in Southern California. ABC announced that The Golden Bachelor would be renewed in late April, and revealed Owens as the Season 2 Golden Bachelor. He was a guest on his alma mater's MGo Blue podcast with Jon Jansen earlier this month, where he made several surprising revelations. For one, he said a friend made the introduction to Bachelor Nation producers, which ultimately lead to his casting, but one comment has already sent shockwaves through the show's fanbase. He revealed that he intends to eliminate any woman who is brought in over the age of 60, which has fans livid and calling for his exit already before filming has begun. During the casting process, producers asked him about his preferences in women, and he said, '45 to 60, just being honest.' Owens then recalled having lunch with one of the show's executive producers, when he told him, 'If they're 60 or over, I'm cutting them. This is not The Silver Bachelor, this is The Golden Bachelor.' He was seemingly referring to the 50s once being referred to as one's 'golden' years and the 'silver' years being in one's 60s, though now the 'golden' years are typically considered anything over the age of 65. He added that the producer told him, 'But they're going to be hot, don't worry about it, don't worry about it,' adding he couldn't use the word 'cut,' but Owens said, 'That's an NFL term.' Owens also told the producer, 'They've got to be fit, because I stay in shape and workout and stuff. And I told them to try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs.' He added that during the casting process, one of the executive producers said he was also a Michigan alum like Owens. Owens shares two sons - Lucas, 20 and Andre, 18 - with ex-wife Fabiana Pimentel, who he was married to from 2002 to 2020. He added that his sons had to ' make a video' about why he would be a good Bachelor and he ultimately had to meet the main producers and studio execs, and it was host Jesse Palmer himself who revealed in person at his home that he'd be the new Golden Bachelor. Still, many fans have been angered by Owens' comments, including Roslyn (@calirozzy), who didn't pull any punches, stating, 'Time for this entire franchise to die.' Another, Jamie Mood (@Jmood17) added, 'I truly enjoyed The Golden Bachelor. Lol. I will see myself out,' referring to the show's first season with Gerry Turner. Brittny Pierre (@sleep2dream) pointed out if he eliminates women over 60, 'then it's not the golden bachelor….' Another fan dubbed @GirlGurl26 wondered, 'So he's an ageist on the show called the Golden Bachelor?' Lauren Milberger (@LaurenMilberger) quote-retweeted a news story, adding, 'Then don't make him the golden bachelor!' John Handem Piette (@JohnHPiette) theorized, 'Disney was like, the last Golden Bachelor was too nice…let's swing opposite.' Jorge Leiner (@jorg3leiner) joked, 'Way to go DiCaprio!' referring to actor Leonardo DiCaprio's longtime tendencies to date much younger women. Greg Watterworth Jr. (@DestroVega) wondered, 'Did he miss the point of the show? lol.' Still, many fans have been angered by Owens' comments, including Roslyn (@calirozzy), who didn't pull any punches, stating, 'Time for this entire franchise to die.'

Alicia (Lee) McClendon (@QTarantino) simply said, 'Nah, cut him,' while James (@jamesumsion) said, 'Holy s**t they need to find a replacement for the Golden Bachelor. This guy sounds like a puke.' SmashTheFash (@LaJuliciousOne) said, 'F this guy and this show,' while Courtney (@televisualities) said, 'Does he know he's ugly? Margie Pinto Etter (@metter5416) said simply, 'Ughhhhhhh,' while Scratchin Desperado (@scratchingdesp) added, 'Lame.' Another X user - @LoLuVal - threw some shade, tweeting, 'Here's hoping every single woman is 60 and older.'
