David Alan Taylor, 41, of Pensacola, Flori- da, did not follow the guidelines for safe tackling recommended by the various youth, college and profession- al football organizations when he charged onto the practice field on Sept. 20, donned a helmet, got into a football stance and charged his target, burying his helmet in said tar- get’s chest before grabbing him by the arms and pushing him to the ground.

Back In The Saddle
When your horse runs off with a herd of wild mustangs, let him go, because man, he’s gone. That was the real- ity Shane Adams of Fielding, Utah, had to accept when his 10-year-old horse, Mongo, joined a passing herd in the middle of the night during a camping trip eight years ago. Adams reported his horse missing and searched the area regularly for years, to no avail. But Yahoo Insider reported that the Bureau of Land Man- agement recently contacted Adams with incredible news: Mongo had been found. The horse is seriously underweight due to the scarcity of food in the region where he and the herd were roaming, but Ad- ams said Mongo is in good health and has not forgotten his training. Adams said his life had taken a downward turn in the years since Mongo disappeared; he and his wife divorced, and an auto accident in 2021 left him disabled.
However, he now feels things are looking up: “My life is like down in the dumps,
like the car accident. I lost mym house, I lost everything. I gotso

But it wasn’t Taylor’s form that got him in trouble; it was the fact that his victim was 9 years old.
But, MSN reported, Tyssen has a problem with random “drunken louts” entering his yard, usually during the night, and becoming intimate with the shrub. For one thing, he said, the noise wakes him up. But more disturbing, their acts have damaged Gloria’s figure.
A pair of Levi’s jeans foundre in an abandoned mine in theLa American West sold for abu staggering $87,400 at a Newa f Mexico auction on Oct. 1,hin reported CNN. What was sobu special about the jeans? TheyOc dated back to the 1880s, andwh while it’s not uncommon forthe “denim archaeologists” to findan jeans from that period of his-ha tory, it’s incredibly rare to findin t them so well-preserved. ab
The Pensacola News Jour- nal reported that shortly be- fore demonstrating his rusty football skills, Taylor had become enraged upon seeing his son being overpowered by the victim during a one-on- one tackling drill. The tack- led youth was not seriously hurt, and Taylor was booked to the Escambia County jail on a first-degree felony count of aggravated child abuse and a misdemeanor count of disor- derly conduct.
Now Tyssen is begging his community to leave Glo- ria alone; one Twitter user suggested he grow a thorny vine through her to deter the assaults.
