Are the Jests regretting letting Jason Myers chase the money to Seattle, or what?

Gang Green waived Kaare Vedved on Tuesday, replacing him on the roster with Sam Ficken, who played his college ball at Penn State. Ficken will debut Monday at home vs. Cleveland, as the Jests will try to avenge last year's loss to the Browns.
======================================
Just when Antonio Brown and the NFL thought all the soap opera was over with Brown signing with New England, made official on Monday, a former personal trainer filed a civil lawsuit against Brown, alleging that he'd sexually assaulted her three times in a period of just over a year between 2017-18, while Brown was still with Pittsburgh.

The timing of the suit, however, couldn't be worse for Brown, after the juvenile shenanigans he pulled to get out of first Pittsburgh, then Oakland. There is talk that Brown could be placed on the commissioner's exempt list, rendering him ineligible to play Sunday at Miami. I find it very curious, as well as dubious, that the suit was made public less than 48 hours after the Super Bowl champs held a presser to welcome Brown to Foxborough.

To make room, New England shipped former Denver & Houston receiver DeMaryius Thomas to the Jests. Seems they think the Jests aren't a threat. However, the Jests lost Quincy Enunwa to a season-ending injury, so this could backfire on the Evil Empire in the worst way. Stay tuned.

The WWE revived the King of The Ring tournament this year after a four year absence, and originally planned for the finals to take place at Clash of Champions on Sunday. However, the tournament has been one big farce on the Smackdown side of the draw, thanks to the show's current uberheel, Shane McMahon.

Word has gotten out that Shane's dad, Vince, was the one who decided to insert his once popular son as an injury replacement for Elias in the division final on Tuesday. Shane, then, appointed Kevin Owens, whom he cheated out of a spot in the tournament three weeks earlier as a referee, promising to rescind a (storyline) fine dating back to Summerslam, when Elias was used as a heel referee.

However, it all backfired, as Chad Gable submitted the 49 year old McMahon with an anklelock-grapevine. Owens was then "fired" by the spiteful McMahon, who has worn out his welcome as a heel in just six months. Gable will face Baron Corbin, who won the Raw half of the draw, in the finals, which have been moved to Raw for reasons known only to WWE. Expect shenanigans.
==========================================
In Alaska, of all places, a 17 year old high school swimmer won a race on Friday, only to be disqualified because of what was claimed to be an issue with her school-issued swimsuit.

Breckynn Willis, of Dimond High in Anchorage, had the last laugh, though, on Tuesday, when the Alaska School Activities Association overturned the DQ. Lauren Langford, a coach at a rival school, who had coached Willis and her sisters when they were younger, was on the side of her former protégé, alleging that the unnamed official who rendered the DQ did it purposely due to 1) Willis being of mixed race, 2) body shaming, and, well, 3) personal bias, for all we know.

Edit, 8/13/2020: The video has been deleted. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending, as Willis was reinstated as the winner and the official who made the error in judgment was removed for the rest of the season.

To be honest, I hope we see Breckynn in the Olympics someday.
