  Real Salt Lake coach Freddy Juarez hasn’t been passing the time in the same way as many others around Major League Soccer since COVID-19 forced the league to suspend operations.Sure, the first-year coach is watching movies on Netflix and spending time with family. But you won’t see him juggling toilet paper or doing a pushup challenge or dancing in a TikTok video — at least not in public.Instead, Juarez is spending his time in quarantine the only way a man who constantly thinks

  Gavin Baxter did everything humanly possible to be able to get back out on the court this season.The sophomore forward tore his labrum in late September during a preseason practice and was faced with the decision of either sitting out the entire season while his shoulder healed and doing physical therapy or having surgery for the chance at being able to catch the end of the season.Baxter chose the latter and was given a four- to six-month recovery time.

Sometimes grandparents.If you think back to the very first episode of “Modern Family,” there was a surprise. The series began with seemingly unrelated scenes featuring three seemingly unrelated families: an older man, his much-younger wife and her son; a married couple and their three children; and a gay couple and their newly adopted baby.

  By the time you read this, the April 2020 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be more than halfway over. While more may yet be announced Sunday, it already has proved to be memorable.As prophesied/predicted/forewarned by a top Latter-day Saint leader, this was a conference unlike any other. And it was.For the first time in the lives of most members, the church held a conference and nobody showed up. We stayed home and watched it on TV, laptops, phones, etc.

  The inclusion of a gay couple in “Modern Family” is a great thing that helped a lot of viewers realize that gay men exist, and that many of them live in loving, monogamous relationships as they raise children. And, remember, the ABC sitcom debuted six years before same-sex marriage was legalized in the United States.But the inclusion of these two characters — Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) — has been problematic.
