90's Texas High School Football

I get some ideas for my material from a local radio show (98.5 The Sports Hub, T&R) and this morning (not sure why, I forget the segue) they were talking about the 1994 Texas High School Football State Championship. Seriously. Anyway they played the audio from the announcers at the end of the game and it's PURE GOLD. We all know that high school football is huge down there, and these guys are proof of that. You will soon see that they pull for East Plano, they may not be the most professional but I promise that they deliver the goods:

Crazy salmonella outbreak tied to one Iowa farm and its sicko owners

Turns out we have Wright County Egg, run by the DeCoster family to thank for this mess as the salmonella strain was linked back to their feed. It also turns out that they're a bunch of sickos.

From today's NYTimes:

The DeCosters produce 2.3 million dozen eggs a week in Iowa. Over the years, many here have objected to the growing operations of Austin J. DeCoster. Neighbors sued the DeCosters’ farms for what they said were noxious gases, millions of gallons of uncovered manure and putrid animal carcasses left on roadways.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources declared Mr. DeCoster a “habitual violator,” making his the only operation ever to be deemed such in Iowa, for its handling of hog waste. And Mr. DeCoster paid more than $1.5 million as part of a settlement with 11 female workers, most of them Mexican, at his egg facilities over sexual harassment and assault charges, including rapes by supervisors.
