A quick programming note this AM for all.

Our “Friday Feature” longform piece is being moved to Monday this week with the fascinating subject headlining a massive Monday Night Football game: New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis.

I flew down to New Orleans recently to spend time with Davis inside his home, and… what a life. What a spiritual journey it’s been for the 11-year pro. Davis opened up in a profound way, from the day he should’ve died as a teen to the day he wanted to quit the sport to today. It’s no accident that Demario Davis is only getting better with age. Specific conversations with God at critical breaking points of his life pushed him to this point.

The Saints follow his lead, too. At 3-5, you bet everything is still ahead of this team.

You don’t need to be part of Who dat? nation to appreciate where he comes from.

Thanks, everyone.
