3. Miami Dolphin quarterback Ryan Tannehill may require season ending surgery on his injured left knee.
4. Stephen Curry shoots a four over 74 in the first round at the Ellie Mae Classic.

7. On this date in 1984 Carl Lewis wins the gold medal in the 100-meter dash at the Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
8. Happy Birthday to former Washington Redskins running back John Riggins who turns 68 today.
9. Charter Oak receiver Jermaine Braddock 2016 stats, junior year: 63-1142 yards, 12 TD.
10. “When things are going awry, it’s time to put the blinders on and do your job. Just do your job. Don’t worry about the other guy, don’t worry about the wins and losses, just worry about what the very next play is.” – John Riggins.
Riggins was the type of player who should complain about head injury. A Jim Taylor type runner. Not that big and not that fast, just punishing instead of being punished. 30 or 40 carries a game with several helmet to helmet hits on every play. Single handedly carried the Skins to Super Bowl glory. Great game.
