Running through several members of the AEW roster from Lance Archer to Jungle Boy to Ricky Starks to Warhorse and more, it wasn’t an easy run for Cody Rhodes, who had first won the title in the tournament 91 days before his last appearance. The leader of AEW had to go through Shawn Spears, Darby Allin, and finally, Lance Archer to win the title. There has been a lot of speculation as to when Cody Rhodes was going to return since he had taken a brutal beating in the hands of Brodie Lee, who won the TNT title from him....

“So, I think you probably look at Double or Nothing and All Out as tentpole events, and there may be another one,” said Rhodes, who’s an executive vice president for AEW and was fresh off his match against brother, Dustin Rhodes. “We’re not going to do a pay-per-view every month, and I realize that it was $50, and if you ask people to part with their money, you got to make sure that it’s worth it....

In a nod to the scandal over Clinton’s affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Colbert said he didn’t think the former president could “lecture anyone” on what should happen in the Oval Office. The comedian rebuked Clinton shortly after the ex-commander-in-chief lashed out at Trump and backed Biden during a speech on the second day of the Democratic National Convention. “Donald Trump says we’re leading the world, well we are the only major industrial country to have its unemployment rate triple,” Clinton said....

Trade talks around the 28-year-old quarterback on Thursday spoke to an accelerated end to his 49ers tenure. The Broncos, Jets and Browns were interested, according to multiple reports. MORE: Ranking Browns QBs since ‘99 | Cleveland’s worst draft picks But ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday revealed Kaepernick’s preference, and the team appears willing to take the bait. Kaepernick reportedly has expressed interest in playing for the Jets. His agent requested permission to seek a trade last month, and reports as early as November suggested he would not return to the 49ers in 2016....

Too bad he might not get to keep it. It's a tricky situation for Rodriguez, a basketball player at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kan. He wants to use the money he won to pay his tuition, but Southwestern is an NAIA school and their bylaws may prohibit him from receiving the money. According to NAIA rules, athletes cannot use their sports ability for financial gain. “I didn't really think about it at first because I was way too excited,” Rodriguez said....

Among the best: North Carolina point guard Marcus Paige Marquette coach Buzz Peterson’s suit is not only far from ordinary, it’s awesome. And so is the peek at Bill Raftery, who is now part of Fox Sports. We also had the mascots clowning around. It's entirely possible they broke fashion rules by going commando, though we'll never know. Xavier coach Chris Mack's daughter provided the just plain cute moment, and she had a side order of “Rise and Fire!...

So it doesn’t matter, really, what happened in secret scrimmages or charity exhibitions or the David v. Goliath games between Division I powers and Division II opponents delighted for the guarantee check and a smidgen of public exposure. There has been judgment regarding the potential of those aspiring to be a part of March Madness 2023, but nothing that registered. Until now. Over the next 4.5 months, there will be plenty....

The first expansion pack for Cities: Skylines will release on September 24th, and Paradox Interactive has also released a new batch of screenshots to give fans a better look at the night-time imagery. The initial gameplay trailer showed mostly daytime footage, so this is the first real look at the game’s night-time graphics. Each building within the game has received a texture layer overhaul so that its windows and signs will light up bright during the night (where appropriate), and Paradox promises a visually pleasing aesthetic as sunrise, sunset, and stars all permeate in the skyline....

City enjoyed a record-breaking 2017-18, claiming 100 points in the league, and they were dominant again in Sunday’s Wembley clash with Chelsea, winning 2-0 thanks to a Sergio Aguero brace. The champions start the league campaign against Arsenal this weekend and midfielder Gundogan drew encouragement from the performance level shown against Chelsea. “I wouldn’t say it was necessary to give us confidence, but you never really know what to expect in the first weeks when the season starts and the important games start,” he told City’s official website....

1991: March 11: Jones began working for the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission (AIDC), an agency within the state government’s executive branch.

After a tough loss on Tuesday night at home to the West-leading Houston Rockets, a defeat that snapped their 13-game win streak, the Blazers held a Global Media Conference Call. Here are the best questions and quotes from the Conference Call: Q. My question is about your supporting cast. In the last seven to eight games, your supporting cast started playing much better, like they did last night. I’d like you to talk about them and how you’ve see them grow throughout the season?...

In June, two U.S. scientists reported a decline in shark diversity with a decrease of more than 90 percent in the abundance of deep-ocean sharks all those years ago. However, researchers at the Natural History Museum Vienna and others have now cast doubt on the event, saying it probably did not happen. The Austrian researchers say that due to the relative stability of the deep sea, such an enormous decline in deep-ocean sharks would be surprising....

Luis Suarez stepped up in the absence of Messi, who is recovering from a broken arm, to score a hat-trick in a 5-1 thrashing of Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday. Philippe Coutinho and Arturo Vidal were also on the scoresheet as under-fire Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui was put under further pressure. Delivering such a result without their superstar Messi was massive for Barca, according to Busquets. “It’s a great achievement to win 5-1 without Messi,” he told the club’s website....

The 31-year-old midfielder also insisted that the clash against Barcelona will not be an opportunity to avenge his side’s loss in the 2015 Champions League final, when Andres Iniesta inspired his side to a 3-1 win over the Turin giants. Speaking in an interview with JTV (h/t goal), Marchisio said: “The Barcelona player I admire the most is Iniesta, as he has infinite talent and intelligence. He brings so much both with his ideas and passing....

The unnamed man from north Melbourne held the only winning ticket in Thursday night’s Powerball draw and his $AUS 80 million ($59 million) windfall made him the biggest ever winner in the state of Victoria, and the third biggest in his country’s history. He had bought his ticket online at OzLotteries.com and when he saw his numbers come up, which were 17, 10, 4, 26, 19, 23, 21 and 7, he faced a sleepless night until the money hit his bank account....

Nearly two centuries later, the narrative surrounding the present state of cryptocurrency and the digital asset market is heavy with “wild west” references. While it’s meant to be hyperbole, it’s hard to ignore the similarities: No clear sheriff in town, no clear rules or laws, perpetrators ready to take advantage of the lawlessness, an apprehensive but determined portion of the investment population ready to participate, but still in need of guardrails and security....

Clemson edge rusher Clelin Ferrell is using this chance to correct mispronunciations of his name. It has a long E sound (pronounced CLEE-lihn) as in Cleveland without the v and the d. So, whenever anyone addressed him at the combine as Cleh-lihn with a short vowel, he made a point to correct them in a friendly way. “Not trying to be a (jerk), but I take a lot of pride in it,” said Ferrell....

Yes, that's a camera built in to a Clemson quarterback helmet. The photo was posted to the Tigers' equipment Instagram account, and apparently the quarterbaccks will use these helmets in some form or fashion next year. The placement of the camera is the most intriguing part. GoPro cameras have become increasingly popular in the last year, but the camera's placement on top of a helmet makes it difficult to use in actual game settings....
