According to WFAA, Diego Soto, 19, faces a charge of commercial bribery, according to jail records. His bond was set at $1,500.

According to the article, Soto was working at AT&T Stadium during the Cowboys/Eagles game and was arrested for allegedly letting people who didn't have tickets into the stadium, in exchange for cash, police said. It is unclear how much Soto received as a bribe but he did admit it to the cops.  The standing-room tickets were going for between $100-$200 straight from the venue. The secondary market was much higher. This past Sunday was one of the biggest games of the year in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Eagles. Oh yeah, the Cowboys defeated 33-13.

The Cowboys are playing some great football right now. Here is one thing that is for sure, Dak is playing the best football of his career and has made a strong case for MVP. Fun Fact: the last Dallas Cowboys MVP winner was back in 1993: Emmit Smith. Oh, yeah! They just happened to win a Championship that same year.  Let's go Cowboys!

We Miss Splashtown San Antonio - Abandoned Photos

This is the second summer without Splashtown in San Antonio and it still makes me sad.  I recently saw a picture on social media and it brought back so many memories. Splashtown in San Antonio will forever be my favorite waterpark in SA. By far, it was the most economical and the crowds were never overwhelming. Fast Foward two years, and it's incredible how quickly nature has started to take over the park. Take a look at some photos of the abandoned Splashtown in San Antonio. They are kind of eerie. Thanks to the Youtube Channel of Unknown Ventures and more recently, Project Rare,  we look at the park's current status. SEE THE PHOTO GALLERY BELOW.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
