Peter King On His Career Covering The NFL & The State Of Sports Media Today.
03/08/24 • 41 min
Before he became a staple in the NFL universe, before he captivated football fans around the world with his weekly "Monday Morning Quarterback" column, Peter King answered a call from Bob McCown, and the rest is history.
After 44 years as a sportswriter, King is hanging up the pen. While attending 40 consecutive Super Bowls would be reason enough to take a break, there were other factors that went into his retirement. Having been in the business for so long, Peter has seen what it once was and has an opinion about where it's going. Bob and John reflect with Peter on his career but also delve deeper into why he's worried about the future of not only NFL reporting but the landscape of sports media as a whole.
