You can hear bodies collide and feel tendons pop as four-time All-Pro guard Ed Newman takes you inside one of the world’s most unforgiving workplaces–the NFL. Brainy, candid, vivid, and visceral, Newman’s Warrior Judge highlights his transformation from a hapless Miami Dolphins rookie into an elite player and then, by way of a law degree, an elected judge in South Florida.
From humble beginnings as a Jewish kid in Long Island, Newman is drafted by Don Shula and his ‚perfect season‘ 1972 Miami Dolphins. He overcomes culture shock, alpha-dog hazing, coaches‘ doubts, cancer, injury, and antisemitism. Newman ultimately earns a starring role alongside future Hall of Famers, like Dan Marino, Larry Little, and Dwight Stephenson. Hovering over this constellation of talent is Coach Shula, always a relentless critic and sometimes a mentor and father figure. Newman’s story climaxes when he juggles law school final exams with Super Bowl XIX. Warrior Judge is as inspiring as it is lively and surprising; it’s a tale of adversity vanquished by against-all-odds determination.
Newman was a passing quarterback’s dream. He tells it how it went down from his unique perspective.
