Who am I?

October 28, 2008 by Paul Gotham 4 Comments

Hopefully, you won’t run into me in my present line of work as Illinois Supreme Court Justice for the Second District. If you do, it may be hard to imagine that I worked on the gridiron for a couple of decades. My sports career began in Rochester, New York where at McQuaid Jesuit High School I lettered in both football and soccer. Yeah, you read that right – football and soccer. Coaches thought enough of me that after finishing on the pitch, I would head over and put a few through the uprights. The latter skill served me well in college as I helped Ara’s boys to the ’73 title. I connected on 98 of 101 extra point attempts in college including 68 consecutive at one point. I enjoyed a twelve-year career with four teams in the NFL.
