When I was out with a concussion in 2015, Richardson called and sent letters. He has a code. He’s always on time, he always looks you in the eye, and while he’s never told me everything, I can’t come up with a single lie.

He has a temper that I’d heard about but until last season had never seen. We were in a restaurant, and I asked a question he didn’t like, and he erupted. I expected lava.

Richardson apologized. I told him that he didn’t need to, but added that the question was legitimate. He apologized again. Before we walked out, he apologized a third time.

He did finally answer the question.

 

This is in line with everything I have heard. One Panthers employee told me when he was in the hospital he got a hand written card from JR. Just endears him that much more to his employees.
