Greatness starts with character. And for Whit Weeks, those values show up in how he carries himself, on or off the field.

Thanks to his dad, that foundation was formed early on. Not just lessons in football, but lessons in life. Values that show up in every decision, every game, every moment that matters. That same discipline, sacrifice, and hard work that shaped him? That’s how we carry ourselves too.

This is what partnerships look like when values align. We’re proud to stand with Whit to celebrate the stories and people who build legacies that matter.

Establishing liability in a legacy litigation case is all about proving four specific things: Duty, breach, causation, and damages.

For Louisiana landowners dealing with contamination from historic oil & gas operations, that can feel like an impossible puzzle — especially when the records are decades old or the original company no longer exists. But with the right team, those pieces come together.

Swipe through for the breakdown, and if you suspect old oil and gas operations took place on your property reach out for a free case review.

Act 458 takes full effect September 1, 2027, and it's a major shift from the landowner-friendly Act 312 that's governed contamination claims for nearly 20 years.

If you own property with possible oil field, soil, or groundwater contamination, filing before the deadline could mean the difference between full remediation and permanent restrictions on your land. Don't wait until it's too late to protect your rights.

Not every opportunity is the right one. The ones you choose say something about what you stand for. For Whit Weeks, partnerships are about shared values, trust, and making an impact beyond the game.

That's what made this partnership a natural fit. We're proud to support student-athletes like Whit by giving them a platform to share their story and the values that drive them. Together, we're using this platform to tell stories that celebrate Louisiana and inspire others to protect the people, places, and traditions that make our state one of a kind.

Some lessons stay with you long before you realize they're shaping who you'll become.

For Whit Weeks, those lessons came from early mornings, passed-down traditions, and a deep respect for the land. Long before Saturday nights under the lights, those values were already part of who he was.

At TCM, that same respect for the land, our communities, and the Louisiana way of life drives everything we do. That's why we're proud to introduce For the Love of the Game, our new partnership with Whit Weeks. More to come. This is just the start.
