I mean, our society has really elevated a lot of sportswriters' egos, but King is one of the worst offenders. He thinks sooo highly of himself it makes me sick sometimes.
I stopped reading his Monday Morning Quarterback column a few years ago, because it took forever to wade through all the B.S. about his daughter's field hockey team, how much he loves coffee, what irritates him at the airport and all the other non-NFL related stuff he'd write about.
Don't ask me why, but I happened to stumble upon his Week 2 predictions today and I was reminded at just how disgusted I get when I read his crap.
Here is Exhibit A:
That's the best he could do? Sure, these two teams aren't the cream of the crop in the NFL, but you're telling me he couldn't write a little bit more about this match-up?
I realize you're supposed to pick every single game, Peter King, but this tells me you're clearly not interested in every single game. Guess what! YOU'RE A FREAKIN' NFL ANALYST! You should care about every game and be able to offer some insight for those poor saps who actually read your drivel and believe the crap you spew.
Meanwhile, he writes this opus on how awesome Kansas City is this year (after one week, mind you). Come on, King, you couldn't have at least taken a paragraph from this lame story for your reason why you picked them to win this week over the Browns?
He really has no idea why? Well, I know why: Peter King is lazy. Just plain lazy.
Go Browns!
. . . Lazy and obviously delusional. 17 points, seriously? We all know that the plight of the Browns fan is contingent on a glimmer of hope. That's what makes the soul-crushing disappointment of every season so sad, the potential for success.
ReplyDeleteHome opener, against a team that has the opportunity to be pretty good this season (thereby fueling the "what could have been" argument), is the perfect chance for hope to be bestowed upon the dog faced masses.
. . . nevermind, let the "soul-crushing disappointment" ensue.
