The guy has reportedly turned down high-profile, higher-pay gigs with media outlets in NYC and Chicago on multiple occasions to stay with the Kansas City Star. If the guy walks it like he talks it, I think he's allowed to make the "money ain't all that" argument... that's not to say I agree with that take, but at least it doesn't ring of false sincerity in that instance.
