Someone find the paper brick from way back when with Peter King berating the Krafts for hiring Belichick instead of (I think) Tom Donahoe.

I'm already without my fourth-round pick this year, and I'm sure to lose a couple of valued players like Tedy Bruschi and Shawn Jefferson in free agency. Now I have to throw in the pick that could become Ron Dayne and may solve our dilemma at running back for the next five years? Maybe I wait a couple more days for the Jets to budge. Assuming they don't, I get on with my life.

Incredible. In a brief article he manages to make abysmally wrong judgement calls about the sport he covers, name drop Brett Favre, complain about his free trips to the Super Bowl, AND give his unwelcome opinion about an unrelated current event. It's like someone carefully crafted a Peter King time capsule for us to discover 12 years later.

Wasn't it Peter King who, in a column published in August after the second time Big Ben raped someone, praised him for "Staying out of trouble since the incident"? Or am I thinking of another awful sports writer? I just remember sitting here dumbfounded that a guy honestly said "Hey he's not raped anyone for 3 months, upstanding citizen right here!"

AKMoose posted:As a former reporter, I am having trouble understanding what King's point is supposed to be. Reporters serve the public, not their sources. There was nothing surreptitious, illegal, or unethical about a documentary filmmaker releasing footage of statements made in his presence. I also get a kick out of how he passes judgment on a contract he admits he's never seen. What a dolt. As a current reporter it can be explained by complacency. Peter king - whom I never read until I started posting here - is the epitome of a lazy reporter who's interested only in the status quo, in every way. Can he use unparalleled access to write about dumb bullshit like his hotel coffee? you loving bet he will. He's the old, fat, useless columnist who coasts on relevance he never earned. maybe i'm projecting too much, but gently caress peter king

By all accounts he has left previous assholish ways behind and has been presidential candidate style squeaky clean, which is pretty tough to do for two years straight.

Welp, looks like I'll have to go out and commit some attrocities before anyone will notice that I haven't been doing them for any amount of time. Maybe Peter King is just subtly trying to get some props for going a stretch without stealing from a seven year old.

Peter King.quote:LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL IS NOT FOOTBALL'S RESPONSIBILITY. "I'm very sad for the loss of Junior Seau like everyone, but why is the league responsible for their well-being after their careers are over? Where does it start/end? Should a guy who only plays in a few games get the same counseling as a 20-year vet. Maybe the players should consider what 'life after football' looks like while they are in college and actually earn a degree.'' Really. Really?

Man, why are players who, hero-worshipped and pressured to get into the NFL ASAP, not staying in school to get their "LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL" degree? And they want to pussify the NFL by taking away our big hits to protect that gay book learnin'. Seriously, I feel like King was fluff and an nfl mouthpiece but generally harmless. He was the USA TODAY of football, now he's a racist, rape apologist, NFL propagandist... He's loving terrible and has awful taste in beer/coffee. MMMmmM Carmel Macchicato/Blue Moon time!

I don't pay attention to ESPN more than I need to if I want to watch whatever game they're showing. I assumed Hoge would be the guy swimming upstream on the issue, that's terrible  Insert bad joke about Hoge no longer being coherent here I guess.
