Here Comes the Judge From Dolphins Dynasty to the Courtroom With the Honorable Ed Newman

In this episode, we sit down with the Honorable Ed Newman, former standout with the Miami Dolphins and co-author of Warrior Judge, written alongside his daughter Holly.

This conversation goes far beyond football.

We start with the story behind the book, why Ed decided to tell it, what the writing process revealed about his life, and how former teammates reacted to seeing his journey in print.

From there, we dig into who Ed Newman really is, through the lens of family, discipline, and the values that shaped him long before the NFL. From his days at Duke University, where he balanced football and wrestling, to being drafted into a championship locker room fresh off perfection, Ed’s path was anything but typical.

What makes his story remarkable is what came next.

For years, Ed wasn’t “the guy.” He battled through limited starts, stayed ready, and trusted the process. When his opportunity finally came, he didn’t just step in, he excelled, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors later in his career.

Along the way, you’ll hear incredible behind-the-scenes stories and a “welcome to the NFL” moment.

And just when most careers wind down, Ed does something few athletes ever do. He starts over and we explore his transition from the NFL to the courtroom
