November 1, 20187 yr I loved his annual ratings/reviews of all the different broadcast teams. I can only imagine how much he would have hated some of the current combination lineups.
November 1, 20187 yr His and Gosselin's were the only mock drafts that I ever really gave any credence.
November 1, 20187 yr He loved him some OL. I used to like his articles on SI. Great writer and seemed like good dude
November 2, 20187 yr The guy knew football. Great writer very engaging. One of the few writers where a person walked away after reading one of his articles and felt they had learned something.
November 2, 20187 yr As a kid, the entire "Dr. Z v. Peter King" SI issue where they built their own expansion teams was great. RIP to one of the few remaining great sports writers.
November 2, 20187 yr I remember reading Dr. Z forecast both in si magazines and the early days of si.com. For all the football info, takes he gave us in those articles, the red head reference in regards to his gf/wife stick with me the most. RIP.
November 2, 20187 yr Met him at Louie’s. Later that night hung out with him and Fred Couples at Crescent Court. Good times. RIP Edited November 2, 20187 yr by justhookit
