Outstanding! An expertly woven story that reminds me of your eye-opening Favre article from the old JS days. Part II is eagerly anticipated.

The quality of the Favre piece was what first got my attention. “Hey, this kid writer is really good. I mean REALLY good.”

After eventually having lost track of both you and Bob McGinn after your respective departures, blue chip reads became less common.

Go Long found me through Linkedin, not the other way around. Thanks to a bit of serendipity I rediscovered top shelf journalism - unvarnished, honestly comprehensive, uncensored, unbiased, and with courage and conviction not to serve as anybody’s propaganda huckleberry for the company buck, fame, and the undeserved promotion. This is one person who craves more independent journalism across the board.

Thanks for keeping journalistic integrity alive. What’s still left of it that is. Lord knows there are those out there who are doing all they can in their power to monopolize information released.

From the world of sports, of all unlikely places perhaps, hope shines brightly. Never quit!

This story is perfect example of why I subscribe here. Feel awful for Kolb.

Whoa! Thanks for telling this story. You help us see the human side of football Tyler. Both the positive and the negative stuff. Looking forward to part 2.

This was hard to read. I remember when Kolb was on the Bills and fans were making fun of him because they thought he was soft. It feels so cruel to think about all these years later.
