Peter King of Sports Illustrated, MMQB and NBC Sports had extremely bad timing on Twitter last night. At 9:20 pm ET, minutes before the grand jury decision that Darren Wilson would not be indicted was being announced in Ferguson, King sent the following tweet:
This is the biggest indictment of all: The Jets’ special teams are worse than the offense.

He would apologize four minutes later, claiming he did not mean to tie in the Ferguson news with football.
Pardon the use of the word “indictment.” My fault. Referring only to football. Not watching the news now.
