Peter King’s website has handled its first major talent controversy with a fairly lengthy suspension.
King announced Thursday via Twitter that MMQB writer Robert Klemko would be suspended for four weeks.
The incident in question was originally reported by CBS Chicago:
A writer for Sports Illustrated has been charged with hitting a cab driver in Chicago early Saturday morning.
Chicago Police say 27-year-old Robert Klemko is charged with misdemeanor battery and criminal trespass after a fight with a cab driver. Police say Klemko got into a verbal altercation with the driver, hit him and took off in his cab around 12:55 a.m. Saturday in the 900 block of Pine Grove.
Klemko covers pro football for Sports Illustrated. He will be in court November 13.
King’s lone tweets regarding the situation were seemingly in solidarity with his writer.
There’s been no update on the legal ramifications for Klemko.
