    Cardinals guard Taitusi "Deuce" Lutui was only a few months old when he, his parents and five siblings immigrated to the United States from Tonga. Lutui jokes that the move came because he weighed 13 pounds and "there was no room for me in Tonga." The real reason is that Lutui's parents wanted a better life for the family. All jokes aside, Lutui will be thinking about his father, Inoke, on Friday when Lutui becomes the first member of his family to become a U.S. citizen. "I feel a lot more whole and fulfilled," Lutui said. "It was my father's dream." Lutui will be among 204 legal residents who take the Oath of Allegiance this morning at South Mountain Community College as part of the Fiesta of Independence celebration. "This day is very important to me," Lutui said. "I feel like I'm graduating again. I should wear my cap and gown."

    I thought NFL players had to be American citizens before they could play.

    I thought GIF members had to be intelligent before they could post?
