“We have a very competitive house. My pops was a coach, her cousins they all play. So, at the house we are constantly playing. We don’t mention girl or boy, we just get after it,” Foxx said.
“When she got on the football field, at first they didn’t want to throw it to her. But I said, ‘Annalise when you’re out, do like this,’ ” Foxx said waving his hands. “She waved her hands and they threw it to her, and she hit for like a 60 yarder. It was crazy.”

Look for all of the good in people.’ All the time we are constantly looking for the bad in people. It’s time to look for the good in people.”
