Long time Tulsa World and The Oklahoman sport columnist Dave Sittler has retired. The announcement comes less than a month after he he was caught on camera stating that former OU coach John Blake was a "slap dick" and was only hired because he was black. From Sittler's farewell column in the Tulsa World:
Mike Sowell told me this day would come. But my good friend didn't warn me how quickly it would arrive.
