Now, a completely different note: most of you are probably know this by now, but I wrote a large feature on Jalin Moore earlier this week. Not to be hyperbolic, but I do believe it's the best story I've written in my short career. Definitely the best I've written with the Journal. If you haven't gotten a chance to check it out, I would appreciate it.

That story was a joy to write. And it was made possible because Moore and Satterfield felt comfortable enough to share an important anecdote from Jalin's freshman year with me. In this line of work, there's nothing a journalist appreciates more than respect and trust. I don't ask to interview Jalin often because he gets a lot of requests, but I really enjoy talking to that guy. It's a shame this is his last season.

My Moore feature is a few days old now, but I wanted to at least take the time to say that about Jalin. There aren't a lot of future NFL guys who will reflect like that with a reporter. And that makes my job so much more rewarding.

Talk to you soon and thanks for reading.
