Today in Extremely Boston news: Dunkin Donuts has released a music video for a song about iced coffee that stars Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.
Called "Sippin," the song is about drinking iced coffee during the summer.
Gronk and Big Papi get pumped for summer by drinking iced coffee while riding a tandem training bike in the backyard of someone's mansion.
Then Gronk lobs a water balloon at Big Papi, who smashes it off a balcony.

I would say the athletes competing in the Women’s World Cup are tough as nails, but they probably eat nails for breakfast, so…
Alex Morgan, forward, United States
What does Alex think about when she's not scoring game-winning goals? All the different ways she can kick your ass and then score game-winning goals, duh.

Nayeli Rangel, midfielder, Mexico
Guess who doesn't care if you leave the game with your head still attached to your body? That's right: Nayeli.

Christine Sinclair, forward, Canada
Or, as I like to call her, Christine "OMG, She's After Me, RUN!" Sinclair. Seriously, this woman brings a new meaning to the word aggressive.

A video of Australian rugby player Georgia Page playing with a broken nose is getting a ton of attention. Now, Page says she hopes she can inspire girls to try out the sport.
Georgia Page plays women's rugby for Lindenwood University in Missouri. However, after this weekend she is now known as the "Rugby War Goddess."
The Australian was playing in a match on Thursday when she broke her nose in the first tackle of the game.
"I remember falling down and thinking, oh my god, my nose is on the other side of my face," Page told BuzzFeed News.
She added that she was also playing with separated AC joint that day.
However, Page was undeterred and kept playing. She even made another tackle before she was taken off. "I just got up and started playing again," she said.
USA Sevens Rugby shared a video of Page with blood pouring down her face, and dubbed her the "Rugby War Goddess." The video soon blew up online.

Griner filed for the annulment from WNBA teammate and wife Glory Johnson on Friday after just 28 days of marriage. Earlier in the day, Johnson announced she is pregnant.
WNBA star Brittney Griner has filed to annul her marriage to fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson after just 28 days, the Maricopa County Superior Court confirmed to BuzzFeed News Friday.
Just hours before the paperwork was filed, Johnson announced her pregnancy on Instagram with a photo of Griner leaning on her stomach:
The couple was married on May 8, two weeks after they were both arrested on charges of assault and domestic violence.
On May 15, one week after their wedding, the WNBA announced they had suspended Griner and Johnson for seven games each.
In a statement, WNBA President Laurel J. Richie explained the suspension:
The WNBA immediately initiated its own investigation into the incident. It was extremely important for us to review the events thoroughly and carefully. Over the course of three weeks, the league conducted interviews with both players and three witnesses present for much of the altercation, and reviewed the police report, medical records, photos and other materials in order to determine the facts. Based on the WNBA's investigation, the following summary of facts is largely undisputed.
Brittney and Glory were involved in a physical altercation with each other at their home. It began when Glory pushed Brittney in the shoulder and Brittney pushed Glory in the back of the neck. The confrontation escalated to include wrestling, punches, and the throwing and swinging of various objects. Brittney received a bite wound on her finger and scratches on her wrist, and Glory received a scratch above her lip and was diagnosed with a concussion.
On April 28, Brittney pleaded guilty in Goodyear City Court to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and entered a diversion program. The assault charge was dismissed. Brittney is required to complete a 26-week domestic violence course, and if she successfully completes the course (and meets other standard conditions), the disorderly conduct charge will be dismissed. Glory's case was transferred to county court and is still pending.
If I'm being fought, [...] I'm not just gonna sit back … there's probably a better way to handle it. But at the time … you're just thinking of protecting yourself and doing what you need to do to stand up for yourself.
Johnson's attorney provided SI with further information about Johnson's injuries, including a concussion:
[A]ccording to records provided by Johnson's lawyer—Phoenix-based orthopedic doctor Thomas C. Fiel noted that Johnson had been struck twice "on the back of her head by a hard carrying case."
A CT scan corroborated that Johnson had experienced head trauma and suffered a concussion.
The CT scan also found evidence of spinal trauma. Griner, according to the police report, suffered only minor scratches.
