Some reporters - even sports reporters - can both criticize and remain good friends with sources for decades.

St. Paul Pioneer Press writer Ralph "Ralphie" Reeve, who covered the Minnesota Vikings during the Bud Grant era, had an uncanny knack for it....

It's rare in today's world that someone can enjoy their job and do it with integrity. I'd say Ol' Ralphie Reeve always went that extra mile, and it showed that he enjoyed what he was doing.

A sit down with Bud.
That would be great.
