Ugh. This guy wants to come off as some sort of beer authority and doesn't even realize that orange peel and coriander are literally the MAIN INGREDIENTS of a white beer, after wheat and barley.
Wasatch isn't copying Allagash. They're making a traditional white beer.
This fucking idiot is acting like Allagash invented the white beer and they most certainly didn't.
I like Allagash beers... but it's with mixed emotions. I was raised in the actual Town of Allagash; the beer is brewed in Portland. The people that brew that beer are probably incapable of finding their way to Allagash. That a fraud like King continually touts Allagash beer seems appropriate.

I am giggling at the thought of Peter King in the Low Countries, wagging his finger at a waitress who serves him a white beer that's an obvious rip off of Allagash's white beer.
I'm pretty sure that Abraham's Pedroia nickname is tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic, though it doesn't surprise me that tis sails right over King's gigantic noggin.

That gigantic noggin is getting his sportswriter of the year award ... which none of us would have known had he not written about it himself, then lavished praise on the group bestowing it on him

I was just about to point that out, but I think you give him too much credit. He expresses no real humility about it whatsoever. "As you all know, I'm not worthy" is the most transparent, puerile, praise-fishing imaginable. He's also won the award before. Smith, Murray, Gammons, Ryan, Deford, King. One of these is not like the others . . . .
And he doesn't really "thank the Academy," as they say. He only thanks the "guru" for "running such a great event."

"Really, really, weird. And it's really hard to know how it will turn out, because there are so many variables. Only fools would try to predict what will happen. It might be great, or he might get cut in 2 weeks."
*Two months from now, after Tebow is cut*
"Well, I said at the time he could be cut. And he was. I hate to say 'I told you so', but anyone paying attention knew it was going to be a terrible fit. Why get a third QB when you have a HOF in Brady and a capable backup in Mallett?"
Peter King is on his annual vacation, so he has someone else doing his job for him.
Here's my question: How fucking hard would it be for this bozo to just write 2 columns sometime between March and June, stick them in a can, and then have them run while he's away? An interview, a recap of free agent movement, a commentary on each team's current strengths and weaknesses...
So fucking lazy.

Oh and, with all due respect to Mr. Gleason:
Any list of "Significant American Bands of the last 50 years" that doesn't include the Beach Boys is just a flat-out dog shit list.
I fucking love that this dude things Pearl Jam, the Grateful Dead (no argument from me that they'd be in the top 5) and Van Halen are the three most significant American bands, basically, ever.
It reads to me like he loved to rock out to VH when he was younger, then got into PJ, and now grooves to the Dead because he's mellowed out.
Um...on what basis?

I think it's scary that a grown man thinks Pearl Jam is the most significant American rock band in history.
And I'm sure that Steve referred to the Quarterback as the "Q", and corrected everyone else who called him the "QB".

"Of all time." Wow, does this idiot overestimate the importance of MMQB or what?
I can not WAIT for the sanctimonious bullshit on Monday. Why we could get:
1) comments about gun control;
2) a 20/20 hindsight breakdown of the 2010 draft;
3) at least one "nothing good ever happens after midnight" reference;
4) a cryptic "I never got to know Aaron very well... comment that vaguely implies that this, alone, was a red flag.
5) a racist comment regarding Latinos and "culture".
OOOOO BOY!

Ah, but isn't PK on vacation? Instead, we'll likely get something from a guest who wrote the article weeks ago.
Revisionist history at its best
Nailed it.

... Point was, Hernandez was 30th-pick
value who went at 113 because scouts thought he was a dillweed

Dillweed.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/04/25/draft/4.html
It's a good thing Peter mentioned how much of a dillweed he was in his after-draft thoughts
Dillweed? Seriously? He's a grown man who lives in 2013, right?
And he's calling someone who is an alleged murderer a "dillweed"? Other historical dillweeds: Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, Dylan Klebold, John Wilkes Booth and the O.G.D.W: Brutus. In fact, Caesar's last words weren't "Et tu, Brute?" It was, "Et tu, Dillus Weedus?"
You know who wasn't a Dill Weed, John Hinkley.

With apologies to Dr. Leather, King starts off today's MMQB with a story about Johnny Manziel:
"Just a kid sewing some oats?"
Are you f'ing kidding me? Does anyone proofread his shit at all?
I couldn't read any more after that.

So, let me get this straight, he's allowed to annoyingly talk business on the train (in the quiet car, no less), but these two people aren't?
King had this item today:
My question for you guys: while the role of Ernie Adams for the Pats is always undefined, isn't there some reason to at least mention him if the point is 'no one can stand up to Belichick anymore?' The vague descriptions that are out there of his role seem to suggest he's closer to Belichick than Pioli ever was.

Someone with knowledge of the Pats front office can be just about anyone. I have some knowledge, Rev has some knowledge and you have some knowledge.
Hell, this "knowledge" could be coming from any media member that is or has been at odds with BB at some point. I'm betting it's Felger, Borges or even, potentially, Curran.

Scott Pioli is the guy who drafted BMW in the first round. My irony meter has exploded.
Interesting Twitter exchange between Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily and Greg Bedard
Bruce Allen @bruceallen
. @SI_PeterKing @ProFootballTalk so if Pioli would've checked Belichick on Hernandez, who checked Pioli on Belcher? Silly premise.
Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard
@bruceallen @SI_PeterKing @ProFootballTalk UDFA. Not a whole lot of discussion
Patriots Daily @PatriotsDaily
@GregABedard @bruceallen @SI_PeterKing @ProFootballTalk Where were the Pioli checks and balances when they drafted Meriweather?
Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard
@PatriotsDaily @bruceallen a better point, but that opinion is from somebody who knows Pats front office. Not just thrown against wall
Bruce Allen @bruceallen
@GregABedard @PatriotsDaily The dreaded "someone who knows." I hate that guy.

So it's not Peter King throwing something against the wall, it's an anonymous source throwing something against the wall.
Got it.
The source is probably a former Patriot who loves Pioli or hates BB--I'm guessing super frequent King on the record source and close Pioli buddy Dimitroff but it could be a scout who got canned or moved on-who actually has no fucking idea whether or not Nick C. or whoever is standing up to BB the same way Pioli did.
posted elsewhere but Reiss makes the same point in his mailbag as well as taking a delightful jab at Polian:
Commentary and analysis has come from all angles, and I wanted to lead off this week's mailbag by challenging two things that caught the eye.
A Pioli presence is needed. Scott Pioli did a super job in his role as vice president of Player Personnel (2000-2008), and one line of thinking is that since he has left the organization there isn't anyone to challenge Belichick on personnel decisions. The idea is that perhaps if Pioli was with the Patriots, maybe the selections of Aaron Hernandez and Alfonzo Dennardaren't made because he was willing to question Belichick. Pioli and Belichick seemed to have a great working rapport, but it's not like Pioli himself didn't run into some "character" type problems in Kansas City (e.g. murder-suicide of Jovan Belcher). That dynamic shouldn't be overlooked when this topic is discussed.
Polian had Hernandez off the board. Former Colts president Bill Polian said in his current role as a media analyst that Indianapolis had taken Hernandez off its draft board, and as was later learned, it wasn't the only team. While Polian has proven to be excellent in his role as a football analyst, it also should be noted that when he was running the football operation in Carolina he selected receiver Rae Carruth in the first round. Carruth was later convicted of conspiracy of murder, which shows that while Polian might have made the correct decision on Hernandez, he didn't carry a 1,000 batting average over the years.
