Had so much fun talking with Peter King and he landed on something here that actually shocked the hell out of me. How could someone not like him? And we spent 10 minutes complaining about the new, expanded CFP in the Slate Plus bonus!

On Hang Up and Listen, Joel D. Anderson 🆓, Stefan Fatsis, and I did an exit interview with Peter King, asking him about how the NFL has changed, if he regrets his coverage of Michael Sam and concussions, and whether there's a story he never got to tell slate.com/podcasts/hang-…

I also need to should out my dude Josh Levin, who dedicated a whole ep of One Year to a fascinating, forgotten moment of Black anti-tobacco activism in the 1990s — and specifically, the Black self-styled superhero from Chicago at the center of it all.
