REASON TO WATCH: Perhaps a TVrecord for use of the F word?

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Netflix’s got a show,Hulu’s got a show, everybody’s got a show.This is DirecTV’s first big original drama, aftergrabbing “Damages” from FX and funding“Friday Night Lights” with NBC.

It’s an adults-only gritfest starring ThandieNewton (“ER”) as a California undercovercop with a familiar problem. When she’s un-der, she wants out. When she’s out, she wantsback under. Ethically muddled and morallysuspect, Newton’s unsettled detective Grace,aka dockside dealmaker Jackie, has been burn-ing the candle at both ends. Now she’s gettingburned by her family ties — her 7-year-oldson gets killed, her teen daughter hates her —and her professional ties, too. The cops havehad it with her rogue behavior, while her mobcontact is thisclose to putting a gun to her faceand pulling the trigger.

Can she play both sides to eke out a mid-dle win?

MY SAY: The bigger question is, will we

care? “Rogue” is a seriously confusing show,all dark corners, oblique motives, scene frag-ments and Important Dialogue. In fact, every-thing is A Crucial Moment, played with inten-sity designed to signify — something.

But arresting images and raw emotions donot a story make, much less a series that asksyou to return weekly. “Rogue” is all peaks andno valleys of the sort that viscerally reveal set-ting, circumstance and personality. Sadly, nei-ther Newton nor any of the cops, family mem-bers and criminal types around her exhibits themagnetism to establish that empathy in short-hand, so we’re left with lots of unpleasant peo-ple doing brutal things for reasons unsatisfying.

While it’s true that too obvious is bad inTV drama, so is too obscure, too gray (it’s gotthat shot-in-Vancouver gloom), too pedestrian— especially when it’s delivered like A BigDeal. And with exceedingly profligate F-wordinvocation, also signifying nothing. Stop it.My ears hurt.

BOTTOM LINE: Sound and fury equalinglittle.

On Monday UK an-nounced that freshman guard

Archie Goodwin would notbe returning for his sopho-more season and will insteadenter the 2013 NBA Draft.

UK also confirmed thatfreshman center Willie

Cauley-Stein and sophomoreforward Kyle Wiltjer will re-main with the Cats for at leastone more season.

The national signing peri-od begins on April 17.

more limited.Prior to this season, the

Calipari formula seemed sim-ple. Recruit a top class, de-velop a team, achieve in thepostseason and watch theplayers get gobbled up by theNBA. Rinse. Repeat.

Who could have predict-ed that this year would bedifferent?

Through nobody’s partic-ular fault, the Cats are in aposition where there may ac-tually be too many skilledplayers on the roster.

Goodwin has had time toevaluate his standing on theCats roster next year and re-

alizes he may as well moveon to greener pastures.

Pastures that will bemuch less green than theywould have been beforeGoodwin played for the Catsthis season.

Draftexpress.com’s NBAmock draft had Goodwin as aNo. 9 selection last June. Thesame site now has him listedas the No. 18 selection. Fordtold The Courier-Journal’sKyle Tucker that he would“be surprised if he’s not oneof the first 30 picks.”

First-round picks earnguaranteed contracts, but theamounts vary greatly.

If picked ninth, Goodwinwould have made $6.1 mil-lion combined over threeyears. At 18th, that number

drops to $3.9 million. If hedrops to — let’s say — 26th,his three-year earnings dropto $2.8 million.

It is entirely possible thatplaying this year for the Catsmay have cost Goodwin $1.1million a year for the nextthree years.

Some in the fan basemight think that is a fittingend. They remember all toowell the play from Goodwinduring much of the season —flashes of brilliance followedby head-scratching, face-palming decisions.

Those head-scratchingdecisions became rare in thefinal weeks, and solid playbecame the norm. Goodwinscored in double-digits inthe final eight games on the

season, hitting 50 percent ofhis field goals during thattime.

He played with heart, heplayed with passion and hewas hitting his stride in thefinal stages of his freshmanseason. Goodwin wasseething following the RobertMorris loss — he wasn’tready for the season, or hiscareer, to end.

A sophomore and maybeeven a junior year underCalipari would lead to furtherdevelopment and likely NBADraft lottery status for Good-win.

That won’t happen, how-ever, at this “players-first”program.

There are just too manyplayers.

for the past four years, willundoubtedly hurt. But UKwill return the rest of its ros-ter, as well as add two Mc-Donald’s All-Americans inLinnae Harper and MakaylaEpps.

Head coach MatthewMitchell has set the foun-dation for the program torival some of the top teamsin the nation, but glory willhave to wait at least onemore year, and maybemore.

But the Cats won’t beleft out of the Final Four forlong. UK has been knock-ing on that door for yearsnow. It’ll cross the thresholdsoon enough.

The 2012-13 men’s basketball sea-son ended with a puttering halt at thehand of the Robert Morris Colonials inMoon Township, Penn. Many of Ken-tucky’s most loyal fans began to callthe dedication of this year’s team intoquestion.

This past season, though sprinkledwith some positives, seemed like aconstant uphill battle against the ex-pectations of an ambitious fan base.

After Nerlens Noel’s injury onFeb. 12 during the Cats’ matchup withFlorida, the UK men’s basketball teamlost six of their last 10 games by anaverage margin of almost 14.6 pointsper loss.

In the final 10 games, the Cats av-eraged only 64.7 points per game, andcould only muster 56 points per gamein their six losses. With these stats inmind, the loss to Robert Morris is lesssurprising.

Although last season ended grimly,there have been some developments inthe past weeks that could potentiallymend the spirits of the ailing Kentuckyfan base.

Julius Randle pledged himself tothe Wildcats. Randle is ranked third inESPN’s Top 100.

With the addition of Randle, Ken-

tucky now has six players in the top18 of ESPN’s Top 100 players list,certainly challenging the legend of the“Fab 5” at Michigan.

According to the same list, UKnow has the top-ranked player at thepoint guard, shooting guard, powerforward and center positions.

The horrible end to this season hasthe potential to usher in a wiser teamwith greater talent and more experi-ence.

Based solely on potential, UK hasthe makeup of an outright nationalchampion.

The funny thing about potential isthat talking about potential doesn’tmean anything until it becomes real,and if it doesn’t become real it is thatperson’s fault for not living up to it,not the people who created the hype.

The UK men’s basketball teamwill be quick to forget this season andwould be wise to abandon the nostal-gia of former teams in comparison.Because of Coach John Calipari’s pro-lific recruiting scheme, it is no longerthe goal of his teams to live up to thelegends of the past but to manifest alegacy that is specific to that team.

Wednesday is NationalWalking Day, and the UKHealth and Wellness Programwill be hosting an event kick-ing off the third annual Amer-ican Heart Association Uni-versity Moving for HealthyHearts Challenge.

This 10-week health com-petition will pit employeesfrom UK against those at theUniversity of Louisville tosee who can record the high-est average number of stepsbetween April 3 and June 11.

The winning universitywill be recognized andawarded a trophy at the endof the 10 weeks.

Last year, Louisville took

home the trophy, leaving bothschools going into this yearwith a tied record of 1-1.

UK employees, retireesand their spouses are encour-aged to participate, accordingto the Health and Wellnesswebsite.

Over the 10 weeks, par-ticipants will log into start-walkingnow.org and recordthe amount of time exercisedthat day into the AHA Activ-ity Tracker, which convertsthat number into stepswalked.

“It’s important that peoplebuy in for the whole 10weeks and buy into the pro-gram or UK’s average willdrop,” said Vanessa Oliver,the diet and wellness special-ist in charge of the program.

UK Health and Wellnessis encouraging people tostick with the program byawarding those with thehighest number of cumula-tive steps per week withsmall prizes. They will alsobe sending out motivationalemails, dietary informationand nutritional recipes tohelp those looking to getheart healthy, along withshort videos on the impor-tance of heart health, pro-duced with the help of theUK Gill Heart Institute.

In addition to the weeklyincentives and motivation,those who have completed aminimum of 425,000 steps byJune 11 will win a prize.

To be eligible for prizes,participants should check thebox while registering that al-lows their name, department,email address and physicalactivity to be visible to theuniversity.

The kickoff event willtake place between the RoseStreet parking structure andthe Mining Minerals Buildingstarting at noon. It will beginwith a half-mile walk led byDr. Mary Lynne Capilouto,wife of UK President EliCapilouto.

After the walk there willbe a door-prize drawing foritems such as workout DVDsand water bottles, and appear-ances by the Wildcat and rep-resentatives from the Ameri-can Heart Association andUK Health and Wellness toanswer any questions.

More information on thecompetition, registration re-quirements, a map of walkingpaths on campus and infor-mation on the AmericanHeart Association can befound at the UK Health andWellness website atwww.uky.edu/HR/wellness.
