Not quite, but definite Sicilian family roots going back almost 100 years.

The original family home built back in the late 1920’s. This home was built by a great Uncle of mine, Victor Leon, and it was a copy of the home he left in Sicily.

My bestest fishing buddy will tell you he's not Italian, he's Sicilian, and "We die with a vengeance."
There's all that finger alongside the nose stuff.

When he's not trying to get us all killed, he's a lot of fun. And he's definitely not part of That thing we do crowd. But Long Island and Matzo Pizza is not entirely isolated from it either.

WNBA tells Congress that Enes Kanter Freedom, Royce White are ‘both men’ in eligibility dispute

Cathy Engelbert told Congress that Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are "both men" but declined to define "women" under WNBA eligibility rules.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert told Republican lawmakers that former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are ineligible to play in the league because they are "both men," responding to a congressional inquiry without supplying the definition of "women" that lawmakers had requested.

Freedom, meanwhile, argued that the response left unanswered the central question of what standards the WNBA applies when deciding who qualifies to compete.

"Cathy Engelbert cannot clearly define what a woman is, but she's absolutely certain that I'm a man," Freedom told OutKick. "I mean, how does that make sense? Who gets to decide? Who has the authority to determine whether someone is a woman?"

"So if the league is still working through these questions, how can its commissioner be so certain about my eligibility without explaining the standards that she's applying?" he added.

Asked whether he believed Engelbert had misgendered him in her letter to Congress, Freedom answered, "Yes, 100%."

"I just want her to respect my identity because I am telling you that I identify as a woman," he said.

Freedom said his effort to join the league is intended to push it to adopt an explicit requirement limiting participation to biological females. He acknowledged that determining someone’s identity and determining eligibility for women’s sports may involve different decisions.

"This is bigger than one basketball player," he said. "I mean, who gets to determine someone's identity? The individual, the commissioner, the medical professional, or a committee or a task force?"
