Recommended reading: Greg Bishop’s New York Times article headed "The Cornerback and the Ex-Con" about the Green Bay Packers’ Al Harris’ long association with former convict Kevin Soto.
It’s a story about, among other things, the power of friendship. The story quotes Johnny Harris, Al’s father: “Al always believed in Kevin. Sometimes, that’s what it takes.”
I'm a journalist for The New Mexican newspaper in Santa Fe. I conceived the The Anti-Fan column for The New Mexican in late 1999 and have been writing it weekly ever since. It runs Fridays. The Anti-Fan was named the best sports column in the state in 2005 and 2006 by the New Mexico Press Association; the same years it also was named the best specialized column in the state — and the nation — by the National Federation of Press Women. Recently the column won a regional award from the Society of Professional Journalists. I'm married to freelance writer/editor Andrea Shapiro.
