A gracious move!

Journalist Peter King of Football in America is going to be hanging up the pen, and in his final column, he was sure to give a shoutout to a pair of Pittsburgh Steelers icons in both Cam Heyward and Charlie Batch.
"Who’s complaining? Not me. I’m the luckiest man on the face of the earth. To be a long-termer in an increasingly short-term business, to write this column for 27 years and to be a sportswriter for 44, well, that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Truly, I’ve loved it all," King wrote.
He then wrote that both Heyward and Batch are two of the nicest players that he's covered during his career, which has lasted over 40 years.
"His work with the needy in hardscrabble areas of Pittsburgh is inspirational. Should write a book on how players, even non-superstar players, can make a huge difference in their hometowns," King wrote about Batch.
"Genuine and thoughtful, while being a beast between the lines. He’s arranged for each male student in 11 Pittsburgh high schools—many indigent kids—to get a free suit during their high school years," he then wrote about Heyward.
