If ever there was a Monday, today would be it.

My Weekend Sports Observations for Oct. 26, 2020

Hard to believe we are already at Monday. But, nonetheless, here we are. Monday again. And that can only mean one thing: it’s time to reflect on the sports weekend that was.

Since the release of iOS 14, I have messed with my homescreen more times than I care to count. Between adding widgets and customizing widgets, I can’t seem to get it right. Well, until now.
