Flattery will get you everywhere with this guy. During the season, he runs a Q&A on the Web site (granted, the questions always come from the same three people who actually read his stuff). Let me tell you a little story about him that I hope will clue everyone in to what kind of a guy he is.
The company I work for just bought another newspaper company. Now, the newspaper up the street from us (actually in Charlotte and much bigger than we are) was in heavy competition with us before we all became one happy family. Darin was such a joke at the Charlotte paper (word has spread around that he is infatuated with the Panthers. So much so that he’ll only write good things about the team and if someone leaves the team, he’ll trash them in his columns and such) that folks in the sports department were starting to make fun of him and making jokes about him. Darin caught wind of this and called our boss and told him that he had to call up to the Charlotte paper and demand that they stop making fun of him. The Charlotte editor sent out an email (no shit, I got a copy of it) saying that anyone in the department caught making fun of Darin would have to answer to the editor. This is the kind of guy he is. Our newspaper is in a financial bind at the moment (can’t hire anyone new, no raises, etc.) but yet the publisher let him go up to cover the NFL combine for the week. He would call in and tell me that he’d have this, this and this to fit in the paper. I told him fine but make it short because we didn’t have a lot of space. His response? “I’ll make it as long as it needs to be.”

These kids nowadays — what with their instant coffee makers and their handheld solar-powered calculators — won’t even do a nice bit of tomfoolery without asking what’s in it for them….

“First prize is … you don’t have to die! Second prize is a pocket comb.”
Anyone remember what that’s from?
