Favre asks to be dismissed from Mississippi welfare lawsuit - World News

The department filed the lawsuit in May, saying the defendants “squandered” more than $20 million from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families anti-poverty program. Favre grew up in Mississippi and played football at the University of Southern Mississippi before a long career with the Green Bay Packers that included a win in Super Bowl XXXI. The director of the the Mississippi Community Education Center, Nancy New, pleaded guilty in April to charges of misspending welfare money, as did her son Zachary New, who helped run the center. The messages were between Nancy New and Favre, between Favre and former Mississippi Gov. Another court filing in September included text messages that showed Favre tried to get additional welfare money for an indoor practice facility for the University of Southern Mississippi’s football team.

Rams' Opportune Red Zone Defense Deserves Credit

In fact, if not for the Rams’ red zone defense, the Chiefs would’ve won by at least 30 points. They scored touchdowns on 31 of their 43 red zone trips. The unit held Kansas City to two field goals in the red zone and only allowed 13 points. They were in the red zone a couple of times, and we were able to keep them out of the end zone. They ran 17 plays in the red zone during the fourth quarter alone, yet they didn’t score on a single one of them.

Houston closes schools again Tuesday as city remains under boil water notice

Houston officials issued a formal boil water notice on Sunday, when the outage caused water pressure at the East Water Purification Plant — which feeds into the city’s main water system, serving about 2.2 million customers — to drop below regulators’ required minimum of 20 PSI. Lower water pressure at the purification plant increases the risks of bacteria and other harmful microbes entering drinking water supplies. Although Mayor Sylvester Turner said Monday that water was likely safe to use again, the city’s testing protocols mean its boil water notice will remain in effect until at least Tuesday. “To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes,” the boil water notice stated. The City has to wait 24 hours from that point before the boil water notice is suspended.

Big Ten fines MSU $100K, reprimands Michigan for tunnel melee

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The Big Ten has disciplined Michigan State and Michigan for their roles in stadium tunnel altercations that led to seven Spartans being charged with crimes. The Big Ten said the suspensions that ended the season for seven other Michigan State players was sufficient. Last Wednesday, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office charged seven Michigan State football players for their actions Oct. 29 following the game at Michigan Stadium. Green, in another post, is seen surrounded by police while shouting across the tunnel at Michigan State players. It was not clear when the charged players will make initial appearances in court.

Big Ten punishment for tunnel incident draws Tom Izzo's ire: 'I'm not happy with it'

While not condoning the actions of the Michigan State players, it’s the fact there was nothing more than a reprimand against Michigan that seems to be the issue. While the Michigan State president questioned the outcome, Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo did not hold back. Video taken from the press box shows McBurrows, in particular, skipping into the tunnel alongside Michigan State players while most Michigan players were on the field celebrating. The Big Ten responded by reprimanding Dantonio, Bush and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh while fining Michigan State $10,000. “I'm a damn Michigan State guy and I do not condone anything that our student-athletes do wrong,” Izzo said.

5 Key plays that led to Michigan Football win over Ohio State

COLUMBUS, OHIO - NOVEMBER 26: Cornelius Johnson #6 of the Michigan Wolverines runs with the ball during the second quarter of a game against the Ohio State Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on November 26, 2022 in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo by Ben Jackson/Getty Images)On Saturday the Wolverines went into Columbus for the game of the decade against rival Ohio State in a battle of undefeated’s. The bulk of his yards came on 2 plays late in the 4th, a 75-yard touchdown, and an 85-yard touchdown. After initially getting contacted at the Michigan 45, McCarthy powered through and carried 3 Ohio State defensive backs 10 yards before going down at the Ohio State 45-yard line. I think this play perfectly showed how much more physical and tough Michigan was over Ohio State, and I think this play was the turning point in the Wolverines’ comeback win last Saturday.
