I'm sorry: Is Peter King really detailing the plot of To Kill a Mockingbird in his weekly column, or are you guys fucking with me?
Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?
- Thread starter John Marzano Olympic Hero
- Start date

You better believe it.
The interesting thing is that villainous group in that cartoon, The Misfits, has a song called "Welcome to the Jungle". Considering that this cartoon was on in the mid-80s, I am going to create assume that Axl Rose stole the title for his song from this show.

Jesus. That Garrett speech is supposed to be good? He sounds like he's hopped up on three lines of blow. Love the cut-and-paste-for-content approach.
"Lee never fails to entertain." I hate him.

Visit a Nazi concentration camp ... look for the gift shop
Read a classic that ends with a racism-charged murder ... always entertaining

He tweeted "YOU GO, HARPER LEE" after the announcement of the sequel. All I have to do is think of those four words and I want to break something.
I told him to go fuck himself in response and he blocked me :buddy:
Next on his summer list for light entertaining reading, Native Son. That Bigger Thomas was a "good boy".

If I were PK, I would not let actual journalists fill in for me. Jenny Vrentas today is way better than he is. Maybe she went overboard with information on a couple of items, but I thought she even did PK's little Things I Think and Tweets, etc., better than he does.
Stick with the athletes filling in, Pete, and you'll have an easier job fooling people into thinking you're competent.

Or it's just an audition to ghostwrite the column full time, while he goes to lunch with Goodell.

Beernerdness -- Sandals had a new Mexican craft beer called Corona that I hadn't seen before. Won't make me give up the Allagash White I get from the bar around the corner from my Midtown Manhattan apartment, but it was interesting, with good flavor. Kudos to the brewers making big strides with their cerveza down in Mexico.
Hahaha! everyone loves an overbearing and churlish boss, right?
Also, I'd wager $10 that everyone else in that van hates that they have to ride to and from the offsite with King, and wonders why they couldn't have just driven themselves*. I'd also bet that they quietly wonder why they don't get to go somewhere decent instead of Mohegan Sun or some shit. What, MMQB (or even King himself, with his 5 billion frequent flyer miles) couldn't spring for two days in Key West for 5 people?
*I bet King does this so nobody talks shit about him on the way home.

Jeez, how many assholes can you fit in one Nissan Quest?
That Andy Benoit seems like quite a fellow, too.

I'm dying to know, with PK shotgun and in control of the knobs, what the sound track for this ride was.
Well, you got me to click over to MMQB for the first time in a long time. I did not believe that was a real thing that was posted. I thought it was hilarious satire. I'm now significantly more depressed than I was.
I will give PK credit for this:

Jesus, is that what Russo always is like? I've never listened to him before, alone or with Francesca. How the fuck did he get so popular just yelling at people?
Surely he meant dedication to craft beers, and not the craft of writing.
Re: Russo the only way I can even tolerate his voice, let alone his lunatic ravings, is when it's sour shoes doing an impression of Russo.

Russo is far and away the worst thing on MLB Network, and they employ Harold Reynolds.

I kept waiting to hear a reference to King in that video, and then was perplexed when it ended.
Just a minor moment of confusion. Carry on.

That's what I'd want on my headstone if I was Peter King.

And today, we get PK's breathless recounting of Favre's breakup with the Packers and the integral role he played in ferrying messages between Favre and Ted Thompson:

There's a wonderful tidbit in there too about Goodell meddling in all this for no apparent reason other than to stick his nose where it isn't needed.
