News Peter King is retiring

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.
