At the conclusion of every football game, it's the norm to see the quarterback from each team briefly meet at midfield to exchange words. I've always wondered: What do they tell each other, and do they ever actually spoke outside of those hasty encounters?

Facebook is addictive. So addictive, that according to KATC's Erin Steuber, two Lafayette Parish inmates have been secretly active on the social media site for close to a month, undetected - until now.
