Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?
- Thread starter John Marzano Olympic Hero
- Start date
I used to read King back in the early days of the internet when there was basically just ESPN and SI covering sports on-line, which I see as perfectly analogous to how when I was in the third grade, I played with whatever nitwit happened to be in the neighborhood simply because they were there.

Likewise, I've learned to read TMQ by skipping over 90% of the parts of the article that are about his opinions on random bullshit, rather than discussion about football. It's made his columns much more readable for me, and saving me 20-30 minutes each.

On top of that, who in the history of EVER has said that the movie was better than the book, regarding ANY book? Talk about preaching to the choir.

And is Serial even a "simple story"? It's about a murder, of which we don't know the true culprit. There's nothing simple about it.
Give him his due he nails the simple part. It is the told well part that is a struggle.pappymojo said:

I always think of "Friends of Eddie Coyle". Sometimes I think about "The Right Stuff" too, but that one is really close.
Right out of the box:

The last NFLer to play at BU is his real claim to fame.
Those wacky Nazis!!!
Meanwhile, at the MadBum Report:
"The SI Sportsman of the year event was nice. They treated my family and me very well. But there was this one guy -- I think he said he lived in Manhattan -- who kept telling me what he thought about stuff. He kept tellling me the coffee was no good and asking what kind of beer I liked. Weird."
I am pretty sure that when Don King said "only in America" Don King was most often referring to Don King.
Ohhhh, so that's how you calculate averages! Thanks, Peter!

And he's not even correct. 61/11 comes out to 5.54545454545455. That does not round up to 5.6.
Sorry I did not see that up thread. On mobile and could only see part of the page on my phone. Please accept my apology.Shelterdog said:
Considering how many great movies have been made based/ loosely based on dime-store paperbacks, pulpy detective novels and the like, the list of films better than the book is really, really long.

This serves as a good opportunity to refresh my freshman math and learn something today.
Doesn't it round up to 5.6?
It's technically 5.55 (each 5 rounds up the 4 that precedes it), and 5.55 would round up to 5.6, no?
No. If you're rounding up to 1 place after decimal, you only look at numbers after that. To round up the 5 after the decimal, the next number needs to be a 5 or higher.
What you are doing is rounding up twice. Using a five to round up the four, then using that to round up again.

No. When rounding you only look one place value to the right. If you are rounding to the nearest tenth only the hundredth place matters. You don't round in multiple place values or you increase your rounding error. 5.54545454 is closer to 5.5 because there is a 4 in the hundredths place.Kenny F'ing Powers said:
I just...
What?
A) If a teacher was arrested and charged with whipping a kid, his own or someone else's, that teacher's career is over. He would not "get to go right back to teaching."
B) Adrian Peterson earns roughly $5 Million per season, guaranteed. Even if he only gets 1 game's worth of that salary this year, he'll earn $310,000. This is aside from the millions of dollars he's already earned, through his contract and through endorsements. That's approximately 8 times the average starting salary for a teacher.
I mean, what the fuck?
He and most other NFL players have a finite window for earning potential. A teacher have decades to work with. So the point he is making is that Peterson was unfairly penalized by not having his earning window impacted at all since he was paid.
Oh... I see what you are getting at.

Using a teacher analogy when opinning on the unfairness of punishment for child abuse. It doesn't get much more Peter King stupid than that.
