Mississippi is currently not among the growing number of states that allow high school student-athletes to accept Name, Image and Likeness, or NIL, money or benefits. That could change if legislation filed by State Rep. Jeffery Harness (D) is signed into law.

The reviews themselves read like case files, each one documenting an investigation into flavor, service, atmosphere, and overall experience. From white-linen dining rooms to hole-in-the-wall gems, no place is off limits.

The charges against the former pro wrestler stem from his alleged role in the state’s largest-ever public welfare embezzlement scheme using TANF dollars.
For the second time since the start of the federal trial of former pro wrestler Ted DiBiase, Jr., the proceedings have been postponed. DiBiase’s attorney was hospitalized after falling ill, prompting the delay.
His legal team also requested a mistrial, with the prosecution from the U.S. Justice Department strongly objecting.
