Contributing writer.

Sad, isn't it? Guy's a nationally known sportswriter that makes millions 'analyzing' football yet I immediately knew it wasn't him because it actually provided salient input on the game.

Readily accessible information will slowly make hacks like King, Easterbrook, Reilly and the like extinct. People that are still writing because they like the sound of their own voice are becoming rarer and rarer things.

I've never thought of Peter King as a football analyst.

He's more of a Harvey Levin-type guy to me. Someone with connections that reports but doesn't actually have a technical mind.

The technical mind, for as long as I can remember, was Dr. Z. But he had the stroke and never recovered fully.

I didn't know that about Dr. Z, or at least didn't remember it if I ever did. That sucks; he was a good read. I kinda figured he just retired.

He had two strokes in 2008 that have left him unable to talk or write.

I had a subscription to Sports Illustrated in the late 70's and enjoyed his writing from then up until he was incapacitated. It would really be interesting to hear his candor on such topics as the rookie wage scale, the new CBA, concussions, etc.

It's a really a shame.

Someone should hook him up with that eye voice deal that the cat from the ravens has

I was sitting there reading it and thinking "wow, this is pretty damn good stuff for this guy".
