Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?
- Thread starter John Marzano Olympic Hero
- Start date
I have no clue as to why he chose the Kenny Bania line to end his thoughts on Davy Jones. It was really strange and that jackass made me read one of his lines more than once.
Maybe King got a dinner at Mendy's as a reward for the call out?
Shockingly, in the Tuesday Edition of MMQB, Peter takes the position that had it not been for a few uncalled, bounty-driven cheap shots by the Saints, the Vikings would have won the 2010 NFC GC and gone on to play the Colts in the Super Bowl. It took him all of 48 hours to somehow concot a column that ties the Saints putting a bounty on opposing players to Brett Favre and his legacy.
Actually Peter it doesnt, not at all.
As per Dr.Leather's take-down that good qualities correlate with one another and bad traits do as well, Petey still thinks that Brett is the guy we all thought he was when he did that cameo in There's Something About Mary, ergo, he should have won.
Do you think that King would boo the ending of that movie where the little guy gets the girl over super-jock?
It was supposed to be Drew Bledsoe but he was still suffering the effects of a game-related stage diving incident.
Just another part of this story that makes you sit back and wonder a lot of things about that movie in 1998.

Peter King sucks, but there were cheap shots galore in that game, and I remember thinking so at the time (and having the fact shouted in my ear by my best friend, a Vikings fan).
I don't really see anything in today's really boring MMQB that merits outrage or scorn, except:
1) King makes a big show about calling the RGIII trade the "biggest haul for a pick ever" ("apparently it's the first time a pick got traded for such a haul") Then, in the segment devoted to the topic, he breaks down the drafts in three draft-pick trades (the RGIII one, the Eli one, and the Ricky Williams one) in a table that, by his own calculations, shows the Ricky Williams draft-pick trade to be the "biggest" of the three by a few hundred draft-pick-value points.
King completely ignores his own table! He says it's the "biggest ever" because this trade gives the Rams 1 top-10 pick and then 3 other picks in the top 40. Well...so what? The Williams trade gave the 'Skins one pick in the top 2, another pick in the top 12, and two more picks in the 2nd round(s). Talk about cherry-picking. Look, it could be that the Griffin trade is the biggest ever. But it's classic King to start with the conclusion that makes the most waves ("Biggest Trade EVAR!") and then ignore evidence to the contrary, even when he's the one that provides it!
And this is a guy who claims to like sabermetrics (I think)!
2) The other thing that grinds my ass is his anecdote about how wonderful and smart Peyton is, because some receiver told him that the D was onto his little playcalling scheme, and he (*gasp*) used that info to fake out the D.
King: "Oh jeez, I fold. It looks like Joe over there has a good hand, again. Whatcha got, Joe?"
Random Guy: "Um...a 3, a 4, a Jack, a King, and an 8. I was bluffing."
King: "Wait. What? You mean you were just pretending to have a good hand so I'd drop out?"
Random Guy: "Uh...Yup."
King: "WOW. That's INCREDIBLE. You must be a GENIUS or something."

- If Peyton is so fucking smart, how come he didn't realize the D was onto him before the WR informed him? Or, rather, why did he keep running the same play with the same obvious signal that was so easy for the D to pick up?
- "Let's signal one thing, and do something else!" is the oldest trick in the book when it comes to any game, anywhere. King must be the worst poker player ever:
King: "Oh jeez, I fold. It looks like Joe over there has a good hand, again. Whatcha got, Joe?"

So he responds just to say "I don't know," but gets to pimp that he's some guy's FAVORITE NFL JOURNALIST. ugh.
From Monday's column:
Sanchez might have more of a chance of being a franchise quarterback than Shaq did of being healthy last season. Maybe.
Regardless, assuming away something so obviously in question -- without any discussion or analysis -- was typical of King.
King's rationale is that the Sanchez signing is a good deal IF you believe Sanchez is going to be a franchise quarterback.
That's a pretty ginormous freaking IF.
The Perkins trade was smart IF you thought Shaq was going to be healthy last season.
The Ocho signing was smart IF you thought Ocho could learn the Pats offense.
Signing Lloyd right now would be a good move IF he can learn the Pats offense and not let whatever his demons might be get in the way.
Sanchez might have more of a chance of being a franchise quarterback than Shaq did of being healthy last season. Maybe.
Regardless, assuming away something so obviously in question -- without any discussion or analysis -- was typical of King.
Seriously.
Every deal ever is actually a pretty good deal for the team IF it works out the way the team wants it to.
That's the equivalent of saying that the Jets can beat the Pats this season IF they can just score more points than them.
It's an absurdly lazy and silly thing to say. GMs are judged on how many of those IFs come true.

King doesn't have the balls to come down one way or the other. No matter what, in two years he's going to say "like I said in 2012, the deal was a good one [but only if he improved]. And that's what happened/didn't happen. As I indicated at the time, my feeling was [what ended up happening was going to happen]. "
This is literally the second time in three weeks that King has said the exact same thing. Who is he admonishing, any way? Granted, I don't read every single report about the NFL nor am I plugged into the fans, but I don't think that anyone is expecting Randy Moss to be the Randy Moss of 2007. That's insane. And BTW, the subject of this week's column, Peyton Manning, turns 36 on Saturday. He hasn't played an entire year because of neck surgery and he's going to a team with a completely different system than the one he's had his entire career.
Folks, players don't play the same at 36 as they did at 30.
King does that and I think it's his way of talking himself out of something.
Remember, this is the guy that pimped Moss by drafting him #1 in a fantasy draft back in 2004 or so. Deep down, King loves Moss.
"Folks" = King's subconscious.

not one mention of Brandon Lloyd in his column, but then again I really wanted to know what it was like to walk his dog in NYC after St Pattys day
What a petulant little bitch.
He goes into a long rant about how awful the Dolphins have been for a decade, but not once questions the ownership's role in the mess:
So Saban "skulked off to Alabama" (there it is again), but it's cool for the owner to sell the team a short time later? Ross a sympathetic figure because his team, which sucked when he bought it, sucks?
These opinions are so clearly based on the fact that the owners sit and talk with him ("Ohh, Oh, Peter. I wanted Brees! But, but...the football People, Peter! They led me astray! You gotta believe me!") but he doesn't even bother to give any credence to the argument(s) that the people involved in the Culpepper decision had (namely medical reports that said Culpepper was fine, and Brees was possibly fucked). Arguments that were, apparently, good enough to convince the owner. Oh, and again, Poor Owner Ross, who has to sit while his team sucks.
Peter King is a fucking hack.
Jesus. Poor Peter King took offense at an offhand, throw-away, comment by one NFL player about his new teammate, made to make his new teammate feel good about his new team.
Peter King would have preferred: "Hey everyone. This is Brandon Marshall. Let me run down his list of transgressions....ok. Now, compared to some of you journalists, he's a fucking thug. But I really hope he does well. Because he's my new teammate."
Exhibit 67 that Peter King has the social intelligence of a spastic gerbil.
That's, like...a pretty underwhelming amount. Seems like the most reasonable thing about Brady Quinn I've probably ever heard.
That is probably the least "odd" St. Patrick's day experience I've ever heard. Shit, I thought my St. Patrick's day experience was boring, what with a lot of March Madness viewing, a lot of beer drinking, and a karaoke of a U2 song. And you know what? It was pretty fucking boring. But not as boring as Peter King's, so I feel better.
Also, naming your dog Bailey (an extremely Irish name, as well as the name of an Irish booze, though King's too fucking dim to work that into his stupid fucking story in any way whatsoever) is a sign of a lack of originality. How appropriate. King's next dog will, no doubt, be named Buster.
Oh why THANK YOU, Peter King, for explaining that Joyce-ian tweet to me. Shit, I was really fucking confused what Mr. Stafford meant. Phew.
Peter King: "I think it's wrong that people who are most upset about stuff don't get to make the decision on what to do about it. Just seems crazy to me." Also, I'd love to know what King thinks the legal process, punishment, and the effect those would have on American servicemen/women as well as public morale. I certainly don't know, but I can't imagine it would be very good.
Why? I mean, as opposed to every other combination, why this one, PK? He's making quite a habit of tossing out random NHL bits without any substantiation.
Memo to Peter King: maybe if you didn't eat at Blimpie, you'd get offered coffee. For the record, I always get offered coffee. 99% of the time I refuse, but Peter King seems to be railing against nothing here.
Ugh. Stop. Just. Stop. We get it: you're a real man. You drink beer. You're not some fancy-pants who only drinks coffee. You drink burly beer. Cool. We get it. You can stop now.
The whole "Brees would have gone to Miami, if not for the stupid football people" story has been told by King more than a handful of times, yet I don't recall whether he's actually done any digging on it or if he's accepted it as true on face value. There's a couple of things that bother me about this little tale:
1. The most obvious thing is the story true? Did Ross really want Brees? If so, why? It's easy to say now, but back then what did he see in Brees that made him think that he was about to be one of the top five QBs in the league? What other decisions has Ross made, how did they turn out? Seems pretty easy to check, but this is King we're talking about.
2. Didn't Ross hire football people to, you know, make football decisions? That's what he pays them money for, right? So he (Ross and by extension King) are blaming the last ten years of futility of the Miami Dolphins on one failed transaction, despite a laundry list (that King writes out in the same article) of horrible decisions over the last ten years? This includes over-their-heads head coaches, giving a division rival arguably one of their best players (Welker), tons of terrible quarterbacks, a mercurial running back who was judged to be the franchise, etc.
3. It wasn't like the New Orleans Saints absolutely sucked when they got Brees. They had a lot of the pieces together and they needed a quarterback. They got him. It's wrong for King to pretend that Miami and New Orleans were at the same place.
4. IIRC, Brees was pretty fucked up health-wise the year before he was cut by the Chargers. This wasn't a sure thing.
Peter King and Nick Cafardo are cut from the same cloth, they give you just enough information to make you think that they know what they're talking about but they never, ever go the extra mile. They always have something else that they want to do: talk about Roger Clemens, coffee, beer, etc. It's just lazy journalism.

I like the part where King talks about how outraged we'd be if a foreign soldier was spirited out if country after shooting a bunch of civilians without recognizing that, in this analogy, we'd be occupied by a foreign military.
That's a radical lack of perspective even by King's standards.

So I'm randomly checking out the Yelp page for Picco in the South End and I stumble upon this review:
Which intrigued me, cause I'm sure Peter King's "review" of Picco was as smarmy and douchey as we've come to expect Well, it didn't disappoint:

We get it, dude. You're chummy with athletes. You don't need to stuff it into every freaking column.
The irony of this is Ross didn't buy the Dolphins until 2008, and this could have been gleaned by reading the first thing dl2001 quoted.
You're right. Mea culpa.The irony of this is Ross didn't buy the Dolphins until 2008, and this could have been gleaned by reading the first thing dl2001 quoted.
The point stands.
One might argue that Williams is a better signing than White due to age and potential. It's probably not true, but there's an argument that could be made.
But this is the very definition of strawman.
But this is the very definition of strawman.
I just find it amusing that the only time he will ever take a definitive stance on anything is in a debate that nobody was having in the first place. Or if he's bitching about his hotel or that time he had to look at a poor person when he crossed the street.
Because I simply can't stand him, I really don't know why, but now I'll ask: Why did Peter King move away from Boston so quickly?
His claim, which is plausible, is he just has to be in NY too much because of TV.
King writes: "I don't understand how it is fair for a member of our military to be accused of murdering 16 Afghan civilians in cold blood and then trying to burn some of them to destroy the evidence ... and then having him flown to the United States to stand trial here. I mean, imagine the outrage if a citizen from a foreign country murdered 16 Americans in this country, and his government spirited him back to his homeland, somehow, to stand trial. We'd be outraged. It's just wrong".
Peter King doesn't understand the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which is the law that applies to all military personnel regardless of their location. While other crimes can be tried by a United States military courts-martial in the host country, suspects can be returned to the US to stand trial. I certainly hope that PK doesn't think that the suspect should be turned over the Afghan civil or military authorities, but he just might.
In addition, it appears that PK has never heard of the concept of diplomatic immunity, which while it only applies to personnel in diplomatic service, can serve as a "get out of jail free" card if the diplomat invokes it. That being said, the offender can be prosecuted by his own government if they choose, or they can revoke the immunity if the case warrants and the host nation requests it to be done.

For the same reason he'll be writing about Trayvon Martin next week -- to boost his own ego.
He'll boost the ego by "informing" his readers about the Martin tragedy ... then calling up Ray Lewis to talk about it and have Lewis "agree" with King's opinion.
And he'll definitely have a firm moral position about Trayvon's death and what it says about our society and who should do what and all that. But his opinion on the Tebow trade will be some variant of "this move is WEIRD! will the Jets regret it? MAYBE."
I think the exact quote will be something like
"If Tebow can come in and do what Tannenbaum and new OC Tony Sparano want, which is to come in for 10 snaps a game and run the Wildcat, and have that put up points and help them make a deep playoff run, then it'll be terrific. But if Tebow can't play effectively, or the looming shadow of the most popular backup in the league come back to haunt a fragile Mark Sanchez's mindset and hurt an already fractured locker room, then the Jets will be hurting from this one for a long time"
Peter King, answering questions that nobody has asked, and stirring shit in the process:
What a fucking asshole.
Also, no Lloyd in his "ten FA moves I like"? Really? No mention of the salary he ended up accepting?
Whatever, we all know what we're waiting for, and here it is:
Four!
Fan: "When?"
King: "I DON'T KNOW."
Fan: "Well, shit, care to guess?"
King: "I DON'T KNOW."
Fan: "Um...seriously, like...2 years? 5 years? Do you even think he'll last 5 years in the league..."
King: "LOOK, I DON'T KNOW!"
Fan: "But you're positive he'll end up there one day?"
King: "YES. ABSOLUTELY. MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE. JACKSONVILLE IS CURRENTLY STRUGGLING. SO IT WILL TAKE TEBOW SOMEDAY."
Fan: "But, wait...what if Tebow bounces around for 5 years and in that time Jacksonville becomes good? Then your premise no longer..."
King: "I DON'T KNOW"
Fan: "Well what about if he 'establishes a solid beachhead' in NY?"
King: "WELL IN THAT CASE, MAYBE NOT."
Fan: "What the fuck, you just said he was going to end up in Jacksonville someday, no matter what, and now..."
King: "I HAD A COVERSATION WITH PEYTON MANNING!"
So, that's it. No comment on whether he's a good signing for the Jets. Just that they'll use him once in awhile, he's in the tabloids a lot, and Sanchez probably doesn't like it. King knows nothing the average fan doesn't. Asshole.
King then talks about how Peyton Manning can remember professional contacts, including a guy who was his own former coach. Wow. That's fucking amazing.
He
follows THAT up with a rote story about the mild annoyance of being cut by a team and having to sign a new multi-million dollar contract in a city that's kind of far away, but not that far.
B) It also makes no sense. It's obviously Leno's way of just making fun of Cleveland, because, (I guess) Leno thinks everyone loves to rag on Cleveland.
C) I can't believe King thought this warranted a shout-out.
D) It makes perfect sense that King thought this warranted a shout out.
I agree that people should be nice to attendants, but this is really fucking wierd. Woman was cold. Asked for a blanket. King thought she was out of line, and that's really fucking wierd.
Also, I bet King thought it wasn't cold because he's a fat fuck.
Dude, fuck off. Unless you go through every game and list calls that you think were unfair, then this is horseshit. Don't use your bully pulpit to prop up your alma mater. UNC, missing their best player, played them to a draw in regulation and then destroyed them in OT. Ohio deserved to lose. Get over it, fuckface.
Argh. Why? Why even fucking go there, except to be a dick and open to door to some Pats-hating fan mail that he can now answer?
What a fucking asshole.

Why is this "of interest only to [King]"? I guess King didn't know that cheerleaders have implants? That tits aren't always real? I'm surprised he didn't compare it to Spygate.
That's it? Big fucking deal! Christ, what a pansy. At least you got to sit in a bulkhead row, you fucking asshole.
Wait... So the woman was being an idiot for having the GALL to be fucking COLD?! How is the airline not slightly at fault, even a little, for not having the blankets anymore? Frankly, that's kind of fucked up. But whatever. My guess is that King was riding first class on a small plane, and heard the woman from behind him, or the attendant complained to her buddy in front of King up in 1st Class. How does he know that you only get them if they have extras in 1st Class? Also, if that's a possibility, then why is it annoying for a woman to ask it, you know, they had any extras up in 1st Class? Isn't that what attendants are for? To get passengers shit so they don't go wandering around looking for things themselves, and in the process create a safety risk?

Is Banks an ex-FBI informant? I don't get it. Also, Bruce plays that song nearly every fucking show, and especially this tour as a tribute to Clarence Clemons. King is such a dummy, the worst kind of fan of anything.
Hey, if you don't have a better travel note why the fuck are you including it?
Does he think fans will be upset if he didn't?
And the whole "factoid that may only interest me" thing pisses me off. If it truly would only interest you, why include it? If you are trying to be overly cutesy in a "it may only interest me, but it should interest you" way , well go fuck yourself. You are not that insightful.

I think that the Don Banks nickname (he calls him that every, single time he mentions Banks' name) is his way of being cute with his buddies. Though I don't think King understands the concept of nicknames, because that's an extra shitty one.
And I'm with you about the woman asking for a blanket on the plane. Why is that being an idiot? Because she over exaggerated the temperature on the plane? It does get cold on a plane and perhaps this woman has thin blood or something. And he sounds like a real cunt when he says, "And happily, the flight attendant did nothing, and the woman shivered in normal temperatures most of the way across the country." King sounds like a wonderful man to be friends with.
And as far Peyton Manning knowing the NFL, I'm the first to tell you that I am no NFL insider, but I heard of at least 80-90% of the names that Manning was ticking off. Peter King is impressed by some strange things.

Yep... Isn't shivering a sign that it WAS unreasonably cold for her? That she DID need a blanket? It's not like she was yapping the entire time about it being an igloo... she sat in her chair shivering... What a bitch.

Also loved this one:
First of all, trampoline injuries are not freaky and one in a million. They're actually a pretty common form of injury, which is why places like schools and youth centers don't have them around. It's not always going to be an open dislocation, for sure, but there's a known hazard to your health. It's like a hiking accident. Second, he's a professional athlete. Part of the deal for getting paid stupid amounts of money is that there are certain things normal people are allowed to do that you do not, because it might hurt your body. How about YOU just stop?
I've never liked Peter King and very much resented his overreaction to SypGate. Whenever I read his comments on SpyGate, I pictured that fat POS standing in a diaper on a literal soap box in Central Park screaming into a microphone, with Jets fans in full colors wildly cheering his every word.
But I must say that I so appreciate the extent to which drleather2001 has crystallized my views on King. Bravo, sir.

Donnie Brasco was the undercover identity for FBI agent Joseph Pistone. It's still a shitty nickname.
And to have spoken with Peyton Manning and not asked "why Denver when SF is closer to winning a SB?" is beyond shameful. Sycophant doesn't even begin to describe Peter King. It's like Andy Gresh got a national platform.
