Police: Texas high school football players 'targeted,' 'blindsided' game official

(CNN)The defensive back comes charging in full-speed, knocking his blindsided target to the ground. A teammate follows moments later by diving in helmet-first. These kinds of bone-crushing hits often land the players involved on football highlight reels. But this time, they could land the players in jail. The reason: They didn't level an opposing high school player, but a game official.
No arrests had been made as of Monday, yet the Police Department in Marble Falls, Texas, said in a statement that it is investigating the incident and the two players in question.

Pablo Escobar made some serious coin.
According to Roberto Escobar, the cartel spent an estimated $2,500 a month on rubber bands needed to hold stacks of bills together.
At the height of his power, Pablo Escobar's cartel supplied 80% of the world's cocaine and smuggled 15 tons of cocaine into the US per day.
