He's a person I would really enjoy spending several hours with on a weekly basis in an academic/knowledge transmission session.

One of those people you hope to meet in a good mood during a layover at the airport bar.

Thought this part of the article was especially interesting:

Reminds me of (Undrafted) James Harrison in Hard Knocks:



I don't think the fans have any place in the room, and I think it's why there was such outrage at the Botchford comment and the public reaction (Lupul: I will never talk to that guy again.) and likely similar private response. Social media is a dangerous thing to professional athletes, who already lack substantial anonymity. Good on the organizations that are vigilant in protecting players from themselves. Such a fine line to between access and exploitation.
I would love if the dressing room was more openly reported. In exchange I would agree to never judge a player based on of the record locker room comments.
