Our Reading

The habit of writing letters of support gets a new name.

Nick Saban’s letter of support for Terrion Arnold’s character is a strong endorsement. The legendary coach vouched for his former defensive star, and the judge ruled in his favor. Arnold’s release from jail on a $1 million bond is a testament to the power of a good character reference. The Detroit Lions, however, were not as forgiving, cutting Arnold from their roster shortly after his release. Character witnesses are the new get-out-of-jail-free card.
