Saturday night, they did it again as they scored all three goals for Dallas.

I would easily change apps so that the color pattern would remain together. I would spend hours every week fidgeting with it. I could never get the right combination of apps. Then, one day, I saw a blog post where someone suggested removing all the apps from the homescreen and leaving it blank.

Harsh Words for the Big Ten

In her column Opinion: Big Ten’s decision to play football signals darkest day in conference’s sports history, Christine Brennan doesn’t mix words and she gets to the point including this: “Maybe some teams will get through a full season. Perhaps others will have to stop after a game or two, or miss games in the middle. Hopefully no one will get sick or spread COVID to others. We’ll see. This is the potential chaos the Big Ten chose when it decided to sell its soul for a few football games.
