I'm sorry: Is Peter King really detailing the plot of To Kill a Mockingbird in his weekly column, or are you guys fucking with me?

It's just an odd thing to highlight from the story, as is the phrase "good boy!" in such a context.

You know what I'm referencing, right?

I’m just an occasional Broadway guy, but The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was one great night at the theater.

Where's this Broadway? The one in Manhattan?

Tasted a little too Hopi for him.

Goodell's been kind of quiet lately. Maybe he and Pete are kicking back at some Sandals resort, inhaling Coronas and chili while Pete gives Rog the Stuart Smalley in prep for the Brady hearing.
Each offseason The MMQB staff embarks on a three-day team-building/planning session at a super-secret undisclosed location somewhere in the contiguous United States. This year, on the drive back to Manhattan (I’ve already said too much) executive editor Mark Mravic commanded a silver Nissan Quest stuffed with luggage and five other MMQB’ers, including King (front passenger seat), Andy Benoit, video guy John DePetro, me, and Emily Kaplan, a former SI intern turned staff writer. Benoit, a peculiar sort who performed yoga-esque stretching routines on the floor during staff meetings (and at pit stops), spent $7 on a foul-smelling bag of beef jerky at a Target during a break for coffee and supplies. When he opened it and began loudly chewing its contents, the car smelled worse than that time a raccoon got stuck in the copier. After some loud complaining from King, Benoit sealed the bag and the drama was over. Problem solved.
Yet King wasn’t satisfied. A few minutes later, he asked Andy if he could have a piece of jerky. Benoit faithfully handed the bag to King, who then opened the window and dumped its contents onto the interstate at 70 mph.
Corsi said:Jeez, how many assholes can you fit in one Nissan Quest?
That Andy Benoit seems like quite a fellow, too.

ON THE BOSS. How awesome is it working for Peter King? Any great Peter stories?

There was that one time he discovered the poop emoji and sent the entire staff nothing but poop emojis for a solid 24 hours… But seriously, PK is the best. I think the coolest thing about him is how often he looks to help young writers advance. I can’t see a reason why Peter would respond to so many young journalists who tweet and email him other than his dedication to the craft and to the future of our industry. He likes to say young people have the best ideas, but it’s Peter who continually churns out many of the ideas behind the best stories you see on the site. If I had to pick one SFW story, though, I’d say it was the time my dad picked him up from the New Carrollton train station in Maryland and Peter came away from a 30-minute car ride knowing more about my dad than I did.

"Story is king, y'all."@buckeyegdo: @SI_PeterKing will you repeat the story about McNamara?
@SI_PeterKing: Yes. It will take a few Tweets. That okay? https://t.co/ZeKgmnLaMS
@SI_PeterKing: Mac1: 1982. I'm backup Enquirer beat guy, 25, on Reds. Cin in StL for 4-game series v Cards. McNamara does pre-game session w/scribes.>>>
@SI_PeterKing: Mac2: McNamara asks me to stay. Says, “Close the door.” I close it. Mac rips pres Dick Wagner for forcing him to play Tom Lawless at 2B.
@SI_PeterKing: Mac3: I write it. Wagner ticked at Mac for airing laundry. Reds stink. Wagner fires Mac a few days later. I call Mac, stunned.>>>
@SI_PeterKing: Mac4: He says don’t worry about it; it was bound to happen. Point was: Mac knew what he was doing, telling AM paper of record he was pissed.
@KevinMulvoy: @SI_PeterKing wouldn't you say you got played by Mac cuz he wanted to get fired?
@SI_PeterKing: Happy to be played if so. A huge story, and I was on beat vs legends like Earl Lawson and Hal McCoy. Story is king. https://t.co/lJuzd7VqRu
