JSU's head football coach will call plays for the offense
SUMMARY: Jackson State head football coach TK Taylor will have an even more active role on the sidelines on the Talking Sports Live broadcast with Rob Jay and Jamie Horton. Taylor will be calling plays for the offense this season, drawing from his experience as an offensive coordinator. With last year's offensive coordinator Maurice Harris joining Auburn's staff, Taylor is stepping up to lead JSU's offense. He believes that if the team can score around 30 points per game, they have a good chance at playing for a championship. Taylor is excited to take on this role and showcase his skills as a play caller. Additionally, Wisconsin linebacker Chris Aura has been hired as JSU's new coach.

Medicaid expansion efforts collapse in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Efforts to expand Medicaid in Mississippi to approximately 200,000 people have come to a halt after negotiations between House and Senate leaders broke down. The House proposed a ballot referendum for voters to decide on Medicaid expansion, but this was not supported by many Democrats. A previous compromise measure offering coverage to those making up to 38% of the federal poverty level was also rejected. Mississippi remains one of 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid, and leaders have suggested it may be considered in the next legislative session. Medicaid expansion in Mississippi is officially dead for this session.
