...I mean, really, Peter? No QB?
I thought it was because he knew Russell Wilson was going to throw a game-ending INT.
Talk about the kiss of death, btw.
Wait. What? Really? Is this a well known thing?
I'm actually with King on this one. The games don't anoint the champions of particular divisions, and division champions from the regular season aren't guaranteed to make it to the divisional round. I don't like "Final Eight" (that's dumb), but "Conference Semi Finals" might work.
On one hand, I praise King for being a little self-aware with this comment. On the other hand...is he aware that Rotten Tomatoes is based on the reviews from critics? And that, it's not a single person? I'm guessing he does, but this is phrased a little awkwardly. I think he meant to say "This column isn't Rotten Tomatoes".
"The Seahawks are my new favorite team."
-- Brett Favre, in a text to Seattle kicker Ryan Longwell, sent Tuesday, a couple of days after the injury in Washington to Steven Hauschka on Jan. 6. Longwell is a close friend of Favre's, and was one of the three Vikingswho flew to Mississippi to persuade Favre to return to the Vikings for one last season in 2010

"Y'all tell Richard Sherman to get some humble pie! And you tell him I said it!''
-- Atlanta cornerback Asante Samuel, walking through the Falcons' locker room after Atlanta's win over Seattle, apparently figuring Sherman was a little mouthy even for the taste of the mouthiest player in the league (Samuel).

a. I realize that everyone is in the habit of calling them the "Divisional Playoffs" and that this column is even labeled as such, but I think the name is dumb. Pick something better. "Conference Semifinals'' or "Final Eight." Anything but "Divisional Playoffs.''

d. OK. That's the end of amateur hour at the movies. I'm no Rotten Tomatoes.

Such an odd statement (the second of its type in the same column, really), in the context of King's writing in general. Dude, you always give your opinion on stuff you have no professional experience with. I wonder if someone said something to him.k. But ... and this is a big "but" ... the [MLB HOF] voters, at least most of them, know things I don't about the players. It's their province, not mine.
