I think he's a nice guy but I'm curious to see how this plays out. JT has said himself if the Rams weren't in town for years he'd probably be covering high school football.

I don't think he has, but the speculation is he's joining The Athletic.

He covered Mizzou up until the expansion talks started in the early 90s.

I've seen/heard lots of guys praise him. Mostly his peers from STLToday and ESPN 101. But I've never heard a BAD word about him.
