Good morning, dear readers! How are you today? I'm doing fine, if you don't count my devastating and all-consuming sadness over Dolly Parton's death. π RIP to a legend. Stream "9 to 5" today in honor of the original cowgirl. (This is Brigid speaking, by the way.)
As for the sports-related headlines, well, I've got the skinny on those for you below. Today, we're talking new NFL uniforms, substations, and "College GameDay"—a bit of a Wednesday grab bag, if I do say so myself.
Let's get into it.
