Lexington kitchen creates new British-cereal-based treat for Big Blue Nation
LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — DV8 Kitchen dropped a brand-new cinnamon roll with a unique British influence on Friday for Big Blue Nation.
Known for its sweet treats, DV8 Kitchen's bakers are now serving up a Weetabix cinnamon roll.
The roll was inspired by the Cats' star center Amari Williams, who said the British cereal was his secret weapon. After his big performance against Illinois, the snack went viral in Kentucky.
'People have been coming in, saying they're going to take them home to eat while watching the game, started their day with them, had it for lunch,' Michael Harper, manager at DV8 Kitchen, said. 'They just want to be energized and in the big blue spirit like Amari was.'

The bakery staff said they hope to have them on the menu for at least the next two weekends.

Finn Russell hoping for strong showing from Bath fans at Premiership final
Scotland fly-half Finn Russell is looking forward to running out at the Allianz Stadium to the roar of Bath's sell-out support rather than with the jeers of England fans ringing in his ears. The British and Irish Lions number 10 kicked 14 points to help Bath beat rivals Bristol and secure a return to the Gallagher Premiership final. Advertisement Russell, who has recovered from cramp which forced him off during the closing stages at The Recreation Ground, hopes to feel plenty of positive vibes from the Twickenham stands on Saturday – in stark to his previous visits when in Scotland blue. Finn Russell was part of the Scotland side edged out 16-15 by England in their Guinness Six Nations match at the Allianz Stadium in February (Adam Davy/PA) 'From what I have heard, a lot of Bath fans bought tickets a while back to make sure they had them, as they did last year,' Russell said. 'A lot of them will be getting the train over to Twickenham at the weekend and it is always good playing in front of a sold-out stadium. 'Having your home fans there, hopefully the majority of tickets are Bath fans, that will be special.' Advertisement Scotland vice-captain Russell added: 'I know the other side of playing at Twickenham – usually when I am there, it is 70-odd thousand fans against me. 'But it is always special playing in that stadium and hopefully our fans can make as much noise as possible.' Russell, 32, remains determined to see Bath put last season's defeat by Northampton behind them and land a first title since 1996. 'I think that motivation has been there for everyone,' said Russell, who has been called up for his third successive Lions tour this summer. 'After getting that final and losing it last year, it is always quite tough to come back in that next year. Advertisement 'But I think everyone came back in pre-season in good shape and kind of ripped in straight away. 'At the start of the year, the goal was to win the Premiership. We have gotten ourselves in a good spot just now to hopefully go and do that. 'We have almost got back to where we wanted to be and hopefully can go one step further this year.' Bath finished 11 points clear of Leicester at the top of the Premiership table, having won 14 games. Johann van Graan's side have already lifted the Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup this season as they look to close out the campaign with yet more silverware. Johann van Graan's side have already tasted domestic and European success this season (Andrew Matthews/PA) 'The playing group have been fantastic and it is great that everybody wants to play in the final, but ultimately, we can only select 23 players,' said Bath head of rugby van Graan. Advertisement 'In our training again today, it doesn't matter what team you were in, everybody was in (to the session). 'Yes, some individuals will be disappointed, but that's natural. 'We see that as a positive, because everybody wants to play for this team and pulls in the same direction because they want to achieve something together.'

Phillies Make $800,000 Announcement During Win Over Cubs
Phillies Make $800,000 Announcement During Win Over Cubs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As it turns out, Brandon Marsh and the Philadelphia Phillies weren't the only ones celebrating at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night. Advertisement Midway through a 4-3, 11-inning win over the Chicago Cubs, the Phillies announced they'd raised over $800,000 on ALS Night. The Phillies thanked Asplundh, a Pennsylvania-based environmental services company, for their help. Asplundh donated $365,000 in honor of former executive Scott Asplundh, who is battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. 'Tonight's event was about giving hope to the brave individuals and their families who are affected by ALS,' Phillies owner John Middleton said. Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh celebrates with teammates after hitting an 11th-inning single to beat the Cubs 4-3 on June 10, Ross-Imagn Images 'We thank our fans, and especially Asplundh, for all their support as we aim to find a cure for this terrible disease,' Middleton added. Advertisement The Phillies announced that they've raised nearly $24 million to fight ALS since 1984. Major League Baseball celebrated Lou Gehrig Day on June 2, the 84th anniversary of Gehrig's passing. On the field, the Phillies gave those in attendance — including an 'ALS Lineup of Courage' featuring those affected by the disease — a night to remember. Down 3-2 in the 11th, the Phillies tied the game on a single by J.T. Realmuto. Bryson Stott legged out a bunt single, and rookie third baseman Otto Kemp completed a three-hit night with a bunt single of his own, loading the bases. That set the stage for Marsh's walk-off single. The slumping Marsh went 2-for-3 off the bench and ended the Phillies' five-game losing streak.

Kevin Lee hopes all of Team Khabib gets to witness him beat Gadzhi Rabadanov in PFL debut
Kevin Lee has all the motivation he needs to make weight and pull off an upset in his short-notice debut against Gadzhi Rabadanov at 2025 PFL World Tournament 6. Former interim UFC lightweight challenger Lee (20-8) was signed to PFL in May to step into the lightweight tournament semifinal against 2024 champion Rabadanov (25-4-1) on June 20 at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan. (ESPN, ESPN+). Advertisement Although he only got the assignment on roughly one months' notice, and will have to cut to the lightweight limit for the first time since May 2020, Lee said this opportunity comes at the perfect time, and it's one he feels fully prepared to take advantage of. "Even going back to the UFC my whole goal has been to prove I'm still one of the top lightweights in the world, that I'm still one of the top fighters," Lee told MMA Junkie Radio. "I got this opportunity now. This guy is tough. The best fighters aren't always in the UFC. We've seen it with Bellator. We've seen it with other PFL champions. We saw it back in the day with WEC, with Strikeforce. All over the board. There's good fighters all over the world, and this guy is one of them. He's on a hell of a win-streak, he won PFL's last tournament at lightweight in 2024. "It's my chance to go out there and shut him down and prove that I'm still one of the best guys, because he does train at the team where they hold all the lightweight titles right now. To take one of them away from them is going to feel pretty good." The team Lee is referring to is that of UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov, which also houses former UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and current PFL Champion Series lightweight titleholder Usman Nurmagomedov. Advertisement Lee has always wanted to compete against athletes from the Dagestan-based gym, and strongly believes his American wrestling style is a strong counter to the high-level grappling that team offers. He never got the chance to prove it during his UFC tenure against Nurmagomedov or Makhachev, but intends to now, and he hopes those names are in the corner of his opponent to see it. "I hope the whole team is there to watch," Lee said. ""I'm in shape for the fight. The weight cut is going great. I'm more disciplined now than I was in the past. Me not having to cut the weight for five years, that was the last time I fought at lightweight, that's honestly gave my body a little bit of a break, and my mental a little bit of a break. ... When I step onto the scale and even into the cage, he's going to be real surprised how big and lean I am." Since he parted ways with UFC in mid-2023 following a brief second stint, Lee has struggled to find a consistent new home. He was part of the upstart GFL brand, which quickly fizzled before its inaugural show, among others. PFL is a proven organization at this point, though, and as Lee looks ahead to his future, he looks to be a prominent part of the company. Advertisement "Right now I'm with PFL, and after this one, I think I'll probably be their marquee guy and continue to get bigger and bigger," Lee said. "For now I'm with PFL and that's where I'm at. We never know with the future, where the biggest challenges are going to come from."
