This week’s edition of Dynamite concluded with KENTA shocking the world. After weeks of teasing, the Bullet Club star finally appeared on AEW and took out Jon Moxley with a Go To Sleep. Kenny Omega caught up with the #1 contender for the IWGP US Championship and tried to welcome him to the American version of the Bullet Club. KENTA didn’t take Omega’s offer to kindly and simply stated that he is in AEW to beat up Jon Moxley....

“You have to earn trust, people don’t just give it to you,” Antaramian told Newsweek in an exclusive interview on Friday morning. “We will have to earn that trust back. It’s not going to happen overnight.” The Wisconsin town has been the epicenter of the national debate on police brutality and racial injustice following the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black father, on August 23. Blake was shot seven times in the back while getting into an SUV with his three sons....

Videos of the flooding from early morning Thursday and Wednesday night have begun circulating on social media as residents battle with fast moving water through their streets. FOX 56 Weather chief meteorologist Chris Johnson shared a video on Twitter showing dirty water moving quickly through a street and cars almost being completely submerged. “Flooding in SEKY [South Eastern Kentucky] overnight has reached a very dangerous level,” Johnson said. This is McRoberts, KY… that’s portions of Letcher County....

Those last eight seconds, though, were about their rivalry with the Louisville Cardinals, such as it is. The game was decided, though not over, when Wildcats point guard Ashton Hagans stole the ball from the Cardinals’ Ryan McMahon and dashed into the open frontcourt. He could have dribbled out the remaining time, and perhaps he would have if the opponent were not located 80 miles down the road and in the same general blueblood neighborhood....

With the G League having much more of an impact on the league, many see a draft expansion as inevitable, but don’t tell Kentucky coach John Calipari that. At the SEC Tip-off on Wednesday, Calipari was asked about his thoughts on the situation and wasn’t shy sharing them. “If anybody supports more rounds in the draft… you do not care about college basketball or you’re trying to ruin college basketball,” Calipari said, (via ESPN)....

The 29-year-old German served poorly in the first set and had a minor wobble in the second but recovered her composure to progress comfortably to a meeting with American Coco Vandeweghe. Pliskova, the lefthanded twin of U.S. Open finalist Karolina, finally got on the scoreboard when she held serve in the ninth game of the contest and immediately broke when Kerber badly miscued a backhand at the net. With men’s champion Novak Djokovic having been knocked out in the second round on the same court a few hours earlier, Kerber will be delighted that she recovered to win in two sets after being taken to three in her first two matches....

As we know, De Bruyne has struggled to make any sort of impact at Stamford Bridge as it stands and was criticised by the manager for his performances. Now only the other week, I posted that the likes of Michael Essien and KDB should be given a chance as I personally feel as though they have been overlooked too often so far this season. In the next three or four games coming up, we will have the opportunity to shake things up after two dreadful results and it will be interesting to see if KDB finally gets a look in....

Among today’s stars, LeBron James and Kevin Durant sit at the top. Each player hits free agency in the summer of 2016, when the NBA’s TV deal kicks in and could equal a major payday for players. Reports have indicated that James and Durant are interested in doing away with the max contract — which places a ceiling on what players can make — in favor of a less restrictive process....

According to Bleacher Report, Durant has met with Kyrie Irving about signing with the same team not once, but twice. According to the report by Ric Bucher, the first meeting between the two superstars occurred while Durant was dealing with a strained right calf suffered against the Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals, with the second meeting happening after Durant underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon suffered in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Raptors....

On social petition site change.org, a user named “John Doe” is calling for Keanu Reeves to be Time’s 2019 Person of the Year, as he is the “most wholesome person alive.” It’s not known which of Reeves’ performances this year led the anonymous user to create the petition, but the actor’s presentation at the Xbox press conference at E3 2019 was named one of the most wholesome moments of the annual industry event....

McCreary—who joined the cast in 2014 as Dr. Maggie Pierce, the cardiothoracic surgeon half-sister of Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo)—is just as amazed as fans by Grey’s ongoing ability to deliver thrilling new plotlines for all its characters. So far this season, Maggie’s relationship has completely ruptured and her sister was ousted from her lofty position as Chief of General Surgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, but that’s only an inkling of the “unpredictable challenges” McCreary says her character and others will endure this season....

Jennings has already won two, with Holzhauer winning one. Another competitor, Brad Rutter, hasn’t won any in the series yet. The tournament format is different from a standard Jeopardy! game. Each night, the three contestants play two Jeopardy! rounds, but rather than earning cash for correct answers they are awarded points. At the end of the two games, the players’ point totals are combined and the person with the most points wins that tournament round....

Back in July, Sporting News college basketball editor Kami Mattioli was the first to report that the university issued Drizzy a cease-and-desist letter after he took pictures with Wildcats players and recruits at Big Blue Madness in 2014. On Friday, the Herald-Leader of Lexington, Ky., reported the rapper was listed in another self-reported minor rules violation, which the university reported in October.

Two verbal commitments from five-star prospects, 6-11 center Skal Labissiere and 6-3 combo guard Isaiah Briscoe made all the difference for a program that had only nailed down guard Charles Matthews to date. Sure, it’s true that neither player may end up with the Wildcats by the spring signing period — Briscoe said he was going to wait to sign his National Letter of Intent until then, and it’s been widely discussed that Labissiere’s guardian, Gerald Hamilton, may talk the big man into a professional career overseas — but Thursday’s announcements were without a doubt some good publicity for UK....
