From naked coaches to Super Mario -- here are some of the strangest and most entertaining moments from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio:Mongolian wrestling coaches strip in protestProbably the most bizarre story of the Olympics. With about seven seconds left in his match against Uzbekistans Ikhtiyor Navruzov, Mongolias Mandakhnaran Ganzorig began celebrating his impending victory wildly.The judges, though, didnt buy it. They instead penalised Ganzorig for his fleeing actions, which brought the scores level at 7-7. And, after Ganzorigs camp lost their appeal against the penalty, Navruzov was handed another point -- and victory -- cueing a protest that will live long in Olympic history.The mysterious green poolsThe whole venue smells like someone has fart.No, not a childish prank or last-minute competition nerves. The words of German athlete Stephan Feck, after the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre was closed for maintenance when the diving pool had turned a mysterious green colour.Was it Shrek? Abnormal PH levels? No -- Rio organisers claimed it was down to an unplanned dump of 80 litres of hydrogen peroxide into the water.Tongas flag bearerJust. Too. Much. Oil. Dont stand too close to the Olympic torch.#PhelpsFaceThe gift of a meme that keeps on giving. Moments before the mens 200m butterfly semifinal. Michael Phelps appeared to aim a stinkface at his South African rival Chad le Clos, which of course sent the internet into meltdown.Someone even got a tattoo of it.?Although, Phelps explanation of just being in his own zone kind of spoiled the illusion...And the silver goes to ... Leonardo Di Caprio?We all love a lookalike -- and there have been plenty in Rio. However, none were more convincing than Team USAs archery silver-medallist Brady Ellison, whose resemblance to Oscar-winning actor Leonardo Di Caprio is just...well...scary.Super ShinzoBringing childhood memories back across the globe, Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appeared out of a giant green tube disguised as Super Mario during Rios closing ceremony on Sunday. No, really.As is tradition, Abe accepted the Olympic flag to commemorate the start of the journey towards Tokyo 2020 -- and we cant wait to see what Japan has in store for us all.? Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic . Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Wholesale Adidas Hockey Jerseys . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. http://www.cheapnhljerseysusa.com/ . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Cheap NHL Jerseys China . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. Discount Hockey Jerseys . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. CLEVELAND -- The Browns have been bad, really bad, before. Theyve been inept, overmatched, impossible to watch, horribly, painfully, downright atrocious.Until now, theyd never been 0-10.I never could have dreamt this -- ever, first-year coach Hue Jackson said Friday, hours after Cleveland remained winless in 2016 with a nationally televised 28-7 loss at Baltimore . Its been tough.It might get tougher.Trying to win with a roster gutted by a front office eyeing next years draft and the future has been harder than Jackson imagined. Hes doing all he can with the NFLs youngest team, which could soon join the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only 0-16 squads in league history.The losing is testing Jackson. Hes proud and determined, but the losses are taking a toll.I am having to coach myself up, he said. This is different, but at the same time, I get it. I am in it. It is at my feet. I am not going to run from that. I do understand what the issues are and where we are and where we are going to go, but also, it has been tough. I have a good staff who stands behind me. I have an owner who has been unflinching. I have executives in the front office and they get it.Are we disappointed for where we are? Yeah, but I think we also understand what we have to do in order to get this changed.The Browns have dropped 13 straight since last season and will finish 2016 with their 14th double-digit loss season in 18 years.In a rebounding city thats home to the reigning NBA champion Cavaliers and the AL pennant-winning Indians, who just went to Game 7 of the World Series, the Browns are a civic shame.Even their dedicated fans are bailing on a franchise that cant seem to get anything right. FirstEnergy Stadium was overrun by Dallas fans last week. It wont be any different when Pittsburghs Terrible Towel-waving backers make the short drive from Western Pennsylvania on Nov. 20.While owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam arent happy, Jackson said they recognize there would be pain in growth.We all understand where we are, and it is disappointing, Jackson said on a conference call.dddddddddddd None of us want to be in this situation, and especially for our fans, we do not want that for them and our players, but this is where we are. This is our reality, so we have to fight our way out of it. All I can say to our fans is: hang with us. I have never been through this this way and it is new and different, I dont like it and we have to do something about it.I am very confident that we will.Jackson defended pulling rookie quarterback Cody Kessler in the second half Thursday and replacing him with Josh McCown. Jackson thought it was a chance to get a win and turned to McCown despite Kessler giving the Browns a 7-6 halftime lead.Jacksons decision backfired. McCown, under heavy pressure, was intercepted twice and sacked three times. Jackson met Friday with Kessler, who has shown improvement in seven starts.The quick turnaround from Sunday to Thursday was maybe more than Kessler could handle, but Jackson wasnt laying the loss on his young QB.When I look back at it now and had a chance to watch the tape, it is an offensive unit issue, he said. He is the quarterback and he will come back out here and get ready to fight against Pittsburgh.After facing the Steelers, the Browns next five games are against the New York Giants, Cincinnati, Buffalo, San Diego and Pittsburgh in the season finale. They have a welcomed bye week in there as well.Jackson knew wins would be hard to come by in his first season. He wasnt prepared that it would take so long to get one.For whatever reason, it hasnt gone the right way for us, he said. We have not had very many breaks as we have been through the season. That is a huge part of it, but at the same time, I dont think anybody wants to be in the situation we are in today.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
