Am I dense or what?

OY they have a link to a piece written by a guy they tout as one of the best writers around. I'm still trying to decide what I missed when I read it. Was it a play on words when he used "peak" in his headline or does he not know how to spell the right word? Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but I just don't get it.
Love, Ima

Writers don't write the headlines so that particular mistake is on the editor/publisher. Hoops Weiss is one of the more knowledgeable basketball writers.

Maybe it's "Whoops!"

Ima, I'm with you. An article giving a "peak" at the "post" child for basketball? I will pass.

OTOH, as I sit here in Blowing Rock, I am enjoying a PEEK, or several, at the nearby PEAKS. :9f:
