It’s almost become the soccer rulebook’s 18th law. When the opponent scores first, the Jacksonville Armada never wins.

Charles Eloundou netted his first goals for the Armada, becoming the first player to score twice in a game for the team since Alhassane Keita on Aug. 8, 2015, in a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

There was a time when my colleague Ron Littlepage would start a column by saying he was “spinning around the news dial.” You knew what followed were some short takes on current events. More recently, he calls it “mousing around the news of the day.” I’ll tip my hat to him and give this column a millennial twist. Let’s call it “scrolling down my news feed.” Let’s get into it.

Dear Call Box: My question is whether there was a wholesale renaming of streets in Riverside.

The suspect was on the loose, so the U.S Marshals Service put together a protective detail for the judge.
