BREAKING NEWS: The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees has approved a plan to convert the entire athletic department into a Limited Liability Company (LLC) named “Champions Blue”.
From this point forward, UK Athletics will operate as a public-private partnership.
This gives Kentucky the ability to raise funds and manage expenses as college sports enter a new era of direct revenue sharing with athletes, pending the approval of the House settlement.

I might not work at Longhorn anymore, but I’ll always defend the food. Prepped fresh and cooked to perfection.
American food industry employees share company secrets

- Jimmy John's also erased operation dates
- Applebees, Former Applebee's cook says ‘steaks are marked on the grill for two minutes, then thrown in the microwave to make it well done. This keeps the ticket time under 10 minutes and to make corporate happy’
- Golden Corral, The chocolate from the chocolate fountain is never thrown away, even after a child has put their hands in it. It's just closed down for an hour, wiped out, and then the old chocolate is poured back in

- Panera Here everything is frozen. Everything has preservatives now. Used to bake everything and prep mostly everything. Now everything is prepared and frozen

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Junior Bridgeman. I had the privilege of playing against him, and I’ll never forget how he had one of the sweetest jump shots in the NBA. But it was his character, his kindness, and his gentle soul that truly left a lasting impression on me. He was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.
What people don’t realize is Junior didn’t make a fortune as a player, but he turned what he earned into something extraordinary, becoming a billionaire African American businessman in this country. His business portfolio included owning 450 Wendy’s and Chili’s franchises in 20 states, Coca-Cola bottling operations in the US and Canada, Ebony and Jet magazines, Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, and he was a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. Junior also served on the boards of PGA of America, Churchill Downs Inc, Fifth Third Bank, Jackson Hewitt, Governors Scholar Program, Crusade for Children Foundation, University of Louisville’s Board of Trustees, Louisville Arena Authority, and more. He is the blueprint to so many current and former athletes across sports that success doesn’t end when you're done playing.
Beyond business, Junior and his wife Doris made a lasting impact by opening doors for African Americans at the Kentucky Derby. Through their annual pre-Derby party and fundraising efforts, they gave access to so many, including myself, to experience this iconic event - something that had historically been out of reach for many in our community.
Thank you, Junior, for being an inspiration on how to be a man, a husband, a father, and a businessman. You spent so much of your post-playing career mentoring and educating athletes and I always reference your journey when I speak to young athletes about transitioning from the court or field to the boardroom. Your legacy will transcend beyond your financial success to the doors you opened for so many and inspiring generations to come. Rest in peace, my friend. Cookie and I will be praying for his wife Doris, kids Eden, Justin, and Ryan, and the entire Bridgeman family 🙏🏾
Junior was a regular at The Capital Grille. He was highly regarded and very respectful. This is a sad for the city.

listen i know this is old news but i physically cannot force myself to see black and blue
i KNOW its black and blue, i've seen the pictures, but my brain wont let me see anything other than this
Pat nailed it. The Colts are an embarrassing franchise. There is no culture or sense of direction. They failed to protect Luck and gambled their future with an inexperienced QB who has no grit and can’t hit the broadside of a barn.
I’ve said what I believed to be the truth about the team.. & a bunch of “Colts fans” on the internet were trying to get me booed out of the city..
Current players, who have won nothing during their entire tenures, started using me and my face to try and paint me as the enemy in the city I’ve committed my life to.
And in the end… everything went.. just like I fucking said it would
In the biggest moments everybody with a brain knew they’d crack.. and they did.
A blind person could see the red flags on this team.. Work ethic questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Preparation commitment questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to meetings, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to/skipping treatment, NEVER happens on good teams.. The franchise QB tapped out of a game.. on 3rd down.. in the red zone.. because he was tired… NEVER HAPPENED in the history of the NFL.
That’s literally the only thing you need to tell someone (who knows ball) and they could tell you everything about this team…
“Hey the franchise quarterback, who’s a professional athlete getting paid millions of dollars, and the face of a multi billion dollar franchise tapped out of the game because… because… because he was tired in the middle of the season”
“Oh wow.. that team has no chance” would be the immediate response..
And to the surprise of nobody.. that was the response by everybody who’s ever played/coached the game before but.. Colts blogs and fans who have been covering the Colts since 2020 and more recent knew better than everybody… Started personally attacking me and trying to kick me out of town.
When I said Joe Flacco gives us a better chance to win than AR immediately after the tap out.. I would’ve said whatever backup QB we had on the roster. That can’t be what the face of your team is doing.. just can’t be.. and to a bigger aspect of it all, somehow AR thought it was ok to do that. That’s a locker room issue.. that’s a culture issue.. thats an indicator of a loser attitude radiating thru a building that was built by greats.
I have no idea how they fix it.. I don’t think it’s like a light switch. “Alright, we’re gonna become Pros now” but… maybe it is, but what do I know?
Oh wait….. how this was all gonna work out. I knew that.
As a multiple year season ticket holder (not renewing).. and someone who has actively, daily, attempted to be an additive to this beautiful city. I hope they become a good franchise again.. this city deserves it.. the OGs in the Colts building deserve it (equipment managers, trainers, ticketing, PR, sales).. and on the flip side the players/coaches in that building deserve whatever happens to them. Your unwarranted arrogance, laziness, and lack of professionalism has lead you to ANOTHER early vacation… which is probably what most of you entitled bums have been hoping for.
I don’t speak for the city.. and I don’t speak for all ex Colts players because I was only a punter.. nominated for the HOF 3 times now but nonetheless.. I speak from my own perspective.. I’ve never seen a group waste opportunities/talent/money more than this group.
