Sign language was a great experience. I have a deaf aunt that I am able to communicate with because of that class.

We'll be drafting an order for the court to sign, and I'll be sending it over to Mr. Weitzman to review before I do that.

Sometimes you have to be somebody you're not.
call family field football judge man thug worse
To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field - don't judge a person's character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family.
