The Fire then put together 17 consecutive passes — an indicting number on its own — to set up Arnaud Souquet’s assist to Kamara’s header goal.Loons manager Adrian Heath told his players Tuesday morning why he thought their five-match unbeaten start to the season came to an end. “I thought we didn’t compete enough,” he said. “(We) were second in every phase of the game, whether that was with the ball or without the ball, transition.”Minnesota (3-1-2) gave up two goals in...

How can you best accessorize an ankle monitor? The question must have run through Tina Peters’ mind when County Judge Bruce Raaum sentenced her to four months of monitored home detention and 120 hours of community service for a misdemeanor obstruction conviction.The notorious former Mesa County clerk turned conspiracy theorist lawbreaker was sentenced for trying to stop authorities from accessing evidence of a crime.Ever the snazzy dresser, Peters could easily bedazzle the ankle monitor to match her jewelry.
