Longtime Sports Illustrated and MMQB.com football columnist Peter King wrote his final column for SI.com Monday before departing the company in June, thanking his readers for their support:
"Thank you, readers. The way I figure it: I've produced about 5.5 million words since 1989—my rough guess is about 4 million words in 21 years of MMQB columns, and about 1.5 million words in the magazine and for The MMQB. In the last couple of weeks, since I announced I'd be leaving this place on June 1, so many of you have reached out to say thanks.
