What made you want to start the HEARTest Yard?
In 2012 my wife and I had twins. T.J., my son, was born with a very serious heart defect. Through the process of caring for him in the hospital and at home, we saw that there was a huge need to help families in a similar situation. So we set up the HEARTest Yard program. We fund it through our foundation, and we bring that high level of care into the home to try to help the babies to be as healthy as possible. We help the families choose the doctors their child needs, and we help them when they come home from the hospital. And the HEARTest Yard pays for all of it.

What is your favorite part about working with the HEARTest yard?
Meeting the families at the events and having them come up to us to say how big of an impact the HEARTest Yard has had makes us feel our efforts are worth it. I also love doing the events. We do a golf outing. We did our first 5K this year. We’ve done concerts and a car auction.

What is your favorite thing to do with your kids?
We have three kids — a five-year old boy named Tate and twin three-year-olds, T.J. and Talbot. In the off-season, my two boys love coming to the training facility, where we play around in the weight room. Friday night we always do pizza night and go to the movies or do something fun. Some days Tate, T.J., and Talbot will just swim all day in our pool.

What has been your favorite NFL memory so far?
The highlight was last year at home after we beat Arizona, being up on that stage and getting the Halas trophy as the NFC champions. Also holding the trophy up and knowing that we were going to the Super Bowl. That was a pretty exciting time.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
