The NBA held its annual rookie photo shoot (and impromptu dunk contest) over the weekend in Tarrytown, N.Y., and just like last year, the photos are amazing. Just don't get used to seeing Andrew Wiggins in a Cavs jersey. 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Proposal

The Fresno Grizzlies, Triple A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, held Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme night on Saturday that included these amazing jerseys. The highlight of the game, however, occurred between innings when a guy dropped to one knee and asked his wife to marry him. Bonus: They were both wearing TNMT outfits during the proposal.

History of Streaking in Sports

Today is the 39th anniversary of Michael Angelow’s infamous streaking incident during a game of cricket between England and Australia. To honor this special occasion, SI's Nicole Conlan went all the way back to 1799 to trace the history of streaking in sports.

Lovely Lady Round-Up

Belgium model Tali Salo recently started a blog called Statement Paradise. Seems like a good excuse to feature her as a LLOD (click here for full-size gallery) ... Danish model Solveig stopped by the SI office for a 2015 swimsuit casting call ... Phil Simms' daughter Deirdre is officially off the market ... Anais Pouliot has a lingerie photo shoot out for Urban Outfitters.

Hot Clicks Giveaway

My friends at Rukket Sports have given me one Sock It! Baseball Net and two Grasshopper Soccer Goals to give away to the readers of Hot Clicks. I will send the Baseball Net to the 25th person who emails me (andy_gray@simail.com) the name of the NFL stadium that will serve the "double-barrel Wagyu hot dog" this season. The Soccer Goals go to the 50th and 75th person who emails me.  The answer is in today's A.M. Hot Clicks. Please make the subject line "Rukket" and don't forget to check out Rukket Sports.

Update 6:27 a.m.: Contest is closed. Winners will be notified. Another giveaway this afternoon.

Bill Belichick is the Best

You may not like Bill Belichick, but you have to love his answers to those press conference questions he finds stupid. Case in point, he was asked today whether Tom Brady could have a positive influence on Washington QB Robert Griffin III. The Pats and Redskins are practicing together all week. Belichick responded with a curt, "I don't really care about that."  Of course, not everyone agrees with my assessment of Belichick, especially not Eagles cornerback Cary Williams or this Arby's in Richmond, Va.

Odds & Ends

You can now buy stock in a NFL player's future performance. Bengals receiver Mohamed Sanu's stock is currently at $10 ... Gary Bettman earned $8.8 million during the NHL's lockout season of 2012-13 ... Pretenders singer Chrissy Hynde claimed to have smoked pot with John McEnroewhen he played at Wimbledon in the early '80s ... The Mets are even screwing up giveaways now ... Everton's Steven Naismith is purchasing tickets and giving them to unemployed people across Liverpool ... Malia Obama attended Lollapolooza over the weekend ... Amtrak messed up one of its Acela trains going from NYC to DC by forgetting all the passengers. On the bright side, it gave them Doritos and pizza for the inconvenience ... The 15 most affordable cities for millennials ... The cast of Orange is the New Black will be on Conan tonight.

I love how the Raiders logo doesn't move.

Prank of the Day

Clemson QB Cole Stoudt pretends to be a mannequin to show off the team's new uniforms.

You Cannot Be Serious

This 1981 video may dispute Chrissy Hynde's claims about John McEnroe and his recreational drug use at Wimbledon.

I'm Bored. I'm Broke. I'm Back.

John Riggins turned 65 today. Here is a 1981 news report of Riggins' return to the Redskins after a short holdout.
