By Steve Hummer Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sun., Aug. 5, 2018 ATLANTA—The day after a new-age dumpster diver went more than six years deep into Sean Newcomb’s Twitter account, and exposed some ugly entries, it wasn’t exactly as if all his Braves teammates were scrambling to scrub their own accounts. As a young, hip fellow with perfect hair, Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is the very picture of a dedicated social media user. In light of the Newcomb episode, Swanson figured that reviewing his own words from years and years ago would be a “necessary action.” But there was no urgency. “At some point I will. But I really don’t think there’s anything out there,” Swanson said. “I’ve been pretty smart (with that) my whole life.” Such confidence has to be particularly comforting now in light of a spate of unsettling glimpses into pro athletes as their younger selves.

Relatives of Siberia blaze dead condemn firefighters’ ‘inaction’
KEMEROVO: Relatives of some of the 64 people who died in the Kemerovo shopping centre fire in Siberia have lodged complaints with prosecutors alleging inaction by firefighters at the scene as new details emerged of the tragedy.
