Other than misery but they did lead the nation in track and field medals in Rio.

Not sure Mississippi has ever been first in anything good.

All that practice running trying to escape from the state of Mississippi did them some good.

Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, Tori Bowie.

All native Mississippians, all in their respective GoaT conversations, none offered a scholarship from Ole Miss.

Like use Louisianians have room to talk, if it wasn't for Mississippi, we would be last at everything.

This is where all the Louisiana people get to feel good there is a state that may actually somehow be worse than their own

Biloxi, Mississippi.

First capital of French Louisiana.

There's always that.

Louisiana laughs at Mississippi. East Texas laughs at Louisiana. Dallas and Houston laugh at East Texas. In the words of the philosopher Rodney King, why can't we all just get along?

All joking aside, this seriously is a metric that Mississippi legitimately ranks highest in the country has, or at least was the last time I checked it.

And good for them on it. Mississippi children, on average, are dealt too poor a hand in the first place than to have their parents not vaccinate them.

We also lead in single mommas. The ladies here don't require a ring, just a pickle (see Hillary on Kimmel).
