Fewer people read columns than listen to the radio

I thought about starting a drinking game where I had to take a drink every time he wrote the word 'weird', but then I realized I'd be dead. Simply because someone's around for a long time doesn't make them a good writer (e.g. Rick Reilly- who also sucks). Sorry-not-sorry but 'Coffee nerdness', 'beer nerdness', 'Ten Things I Think I Think' and his dumb haikus will not be missed any more than Zippy the Pinhead comics.

Adios, annoying sports writer.
How ****ing dare you?! You're going to take so much heat for this and it's all deserved. Hope you enjoy being canceled!

Thought this was about Peter North at first

Always enjoyed reading his articles. Was a staple at Sports Illustrated forever.
Enjoy your retirement !

I don't dislike him, just always seems to bland in his reporting.

I do think he is highly accurate when he sticks his neck out when he sources a breaking or rumored story.

Definite legend in the field.
He used to be one of the main sources of info when there were only a handful you could find that had real national reporting. With the advent of the Internet and influencers he lost a lot of his cache, but as a throwback to another era I always enjoyed him. He just rarely broke info on the regular anymore and his “hot takes” were pretty lukewarm in the past few years.

That said, thanks for all the hard work and your love of the NFL to the Peter King!

He's a great writer, and I've enjoyed his conversations with Carrington Harrison on 610. Guy has been some places and seen some stuff. Props for his longevity and the quality of his penmanship.

Great reporter who will be missed. His post Super Bowl interviews were great.

ChiliConCarnage 02-26-2024 07:43 PM
Surprised he kept doing it full time this long. Haven't read his column regularly for several years but he did good stuff.

I was surprised when he left his MMQB stuff w/ SI. Looks pretty prescient now, guess he saw the writing on the wall.

I don’t hate the guy. He’s done some good work and some shoddy work. Probably more good than bad. Definitely had some good insight over the years.

TOTAL blindspot for Franchise Killer Pioli though.

It seems like I enjoyed his stuff back when I was subscribing to Sports Illustrated.

But

I always liked him. He and posnaski were great.

Yep and just sat there like a stupid bitch when Florio was telling the Niners to cheap shot Mahomes.

Andy: Again, Peter, those were two different plays.

I've cursed a lot of his columns over the years, a lot of blah blah blah, then maybe a decent nugget, then more non sequiturs. The fact that he's been able to keep it up for 40 years is pretty amazing. I agree with him on this point, professional football is fun to watch, it's a game that rewards creativity, risk taking and really hard work. Dude definitely gets it. Congratulations to him.
