Mike Morton can sometimes be the bearer of bad news. As a dentist during the week, when a patient has a cavity, it’s Morton job to inform them they need to get a needle in their mouth. As a football umpire on the weekends, it’s Morton job to throw a flag. The former NFL linebacker who lives in Kannapolis has been doing both for the past 15 years. (Charlotte Observer)
