King, backdropped by Manhattan, while wearing a Martha's Vineyard t-shirt is just perfect.
He's just a regular guy, folks.

I know that King is completely tone deaf, but who thought this was a bright idea? Honestly?

Seriously.
One of the two dozen-or-so things that puzzle/irritate me about King is that: for a guy that clearly doesn't care that much about how he looks (either in terms of clothes or general physical appearance), he's awfully vain.
I think that hanging out with ex NFL players and attractive/well-groomed media personalities for the past decade has fooled him into thinking he's one of them, as opposed to a schlubby sportswriter. There's also some deep-seated adolescent insecurity and resentment coming to the surface with this type of shit, methinks; the man clearly has some chip on his shoulder that goes beyond his professional career.
EDIT: and, look, there's nothing wrong with being a schlub, if that's your style. But don't go around acting like a style icon when you tuck your fucking t-shirt into your size 42 cargo shorts whenever someone isn't literally being paid to dress you.
The writer has a serious case of Peter envy.
As a native NYer, I did not know such a neighborhood existed by that name.
(ignore the fact that in Midtown, no one is really more than 6 or 7 blocks from a river.)

The Fashionista that is Peter King, a one-act play
Peter King: I wear a dry fabric T-shirt!
Someone who is not paid to write about his boss: Oh do you, Mr. Gabbanna? Please tell us more about your fierce fashion sense!

I thought that too at first, but can't you just hear his internal monologue in the locker room when he sees someone like Manning changing and saying "boxer briefs...now there is a real man!"
Followed by quickly running to the nearest sears.
Oh, I have no doubt he wears Underarmor or some other "performance" undies because it makes him feel like he's not really a 50-something fatass who, even over just the past 3 years, has gone from running half marathons to not being able to run more than a single mile.

I don't hate him, really, he just disgusts me.
His affection for social media, and the resulting affirmation he receives no matter what he does, has turned him into a twisted version of himself as he was as recently as 10 years ago. That sort of obsession with self is boring enough, though kind of understandable, with 20 year old starlets. When the subject is a 55 year old father of two, it's just pathetic.
He's like the worst facebook "friend" ever.

I was serious not trolling actually.drleather2001 said:
Go back and read something from 2001. King sucked just as bad back then.
Think Leather is talking about the writer trolling. I think he may have been. If so it was almost a perfect amount of hat tips and nods to have the KSK/Magary's/Dr.Leather's chortling, while at the same time having PK grinning from ear to ear thinking it was a magnificent look into the life and style of a great man. Depends on your perspective.JTComedicGenius said:

I was wondering about that myself. Thats pretty risky to take a run at the boss like that, though. (The writer 'works' at MMQB). Is King so blinded by his own reflection that he won't figure it out? (Or be pointed that way by some sycophant?)
As joe dokes points out, the writer works for King, so that was clearly meant to be a serious piece. Which is utterly remarkable.

Oh, you know he leaves droplets of urine in his undies on an hourly basis.
I wish I hadn't thought of that, let alone written it.
I wonder how hard Peter King would scold a player (particularly one that didn't kiss King's ring) if that player got caught in the middle of a sex pic extortion scandal instead of Dallas owner Jerry Jones? Instead there will be nothing written or perhaps whatever Goodell ghost-types for him. I'm guessing that since it was on the cover of the NY Post and other gossip sites it becomes a different kind of story, one that is beneath the King's usual Starbucks scrutiny and will be totally ignored.

But who else would you rather hear it from that Manziel was wearing "dress jeans" after the game?
The WWL has, too. I don't watch college football. Can someone explain why this guy is such a phenomenon? Is it the whole "freshman won a Heisman" thing?
