In his retirement, former CNN host Larry King is still keeping very active on Twitter. Of course, Larry King’s Twitter account is different than 99.9% of the social media world.

Hopefully King’s assistant was getting paid overtime last night, because King was firing off tweets left and right about any random thing you could think of, especially sports topics. But one or the other was just a little bit off with their two cents last night.
Among some of the highlights…
