Peter King is retiring
He clarifies in the article that he's not 100% disappearing, but he's no longer going to be working full time at least. Pretty crazy that he's been able to do this for like 40 years. |

His health seems to have been an obstacle for him these past few years. Hope he enjoys retirement! I enjoyed his interviews over the years.

I hear him on Carrington on 610. King is always coughing. Hope to hear from him periodically.

I am just reading through his final column now… it’s a big loss.

I think he is great. Got so many contacts and stories and can show up anywhere and offer thoughtful takes.
Glad he is only semi retired and will still make occasional appearances. |

Damn, that’s really sad to hear. The big P is nothing to casually dismiss. Get better King!!

Somewhere Florio is spinning this into that's what he meant when he kept saying Reid might retire.

I'm going to take heat for this, and that's fine. I found his writing over the last several years to be a tired schtick, and he overly relied on kitchy colloquialisms that were often annoying. 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. |

I really don't know what to make of Peter King.
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.

One of the best, even if I didn’t agree with all of his takes.
