Allegations of corruption at FIFA are nothing new to those who follow the international soccer body. But what was surprising to some yesterday was that someone was finally doing something about it. The U.S. Justice Department unsealed a 47-count indictment in federal court in Brooklyn that detailed charges against 14 people accused of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy.
TRACY MORGAN

A Walmart tractor-trailer rear-ended the limo bus Morgan was in in New Jersey last year. The collision killed Morgan’s friend and fellow comedian, James McNair

Southwest of Houston, officials in Wharton, Texas, called for a voluntary evacuation on the western side of the city as forecasters warned that the Colorado River was likely to rise above flood stage by today.
