I'm imagining he thinks its his work email. 'peterkingatsidotcom@aol.com' "Pete... No. You don't have an AOL address. Sports Illustrated has its own website. It's called a domai... listen, never mind." 'There's no AOL Keyword for it!'

I still haven't figured out a way to pull it off. In a way, I'm actually very jealous. Imagine if you could fart out stupid poo poo on the internet all day and get paid for it. It would be like getting paid for our horrible posting. Just try to say you'd turn that down with a straight face. You wouldn't. None of us would. poo poo, we do it for free already.

Something we have to remember is Peter King currently sucks, but he earned his way to the top rightfully. He was an excellent reporter for years, gaining contacts and credibility. But once he reached the top, he stopped trying and is now a lazy bum in a cushy job with no one challenging him. Occasionally you still see glimpses of what he used to be, but mostly he just doesn't try anymore because he doesn't have to.

Pete has always been a fluffer to the stars (most notably the Steve Young-Gatorade thing and the years of Favre slobbering)

Favre slobbering has been replaced with Brady slobbering. I remember he once wrote like 1/5 of his MMQB column on Brady and how he was sponsored by Under Armour and that (somehow) Brady was doing it as some sort of outreach to children.

Sure it has an appeal, but I have a funny fixation on turning in at least a certain level of quality for my paid ventures. What I'm actually jealous about isn't that he gets paid to vomit out cliches, it's the perks of the job- the travel and the access.

I honestly feel like being a respected Sports journalist is like some sort of demonic lottery. There is literally no distinguishable differences between a guy on the last page of Bumfuck Times and a guy with his own show on ESPN. As best I can figure you succeed by pure chance simply because there is no concept of merit.

Who you know, who you're related to, who you went to school with, etc.

Peter King posted:So my brother Ken retired from his job in England in September, and we decided to give him a fun, frequent-flier-aided retirement gift: a trip to see a World Series game. So he came over and, as it turned out, the only game that would work for me was Game 1 in San Francisco, which we didn't know would be in San Francisco until last Monday night. Thanks to my friend Corey Bowdre with the Red Sox, we were able to buy seats at face value and we set off for California. I spent much of last Tuesday in Atlanta with Tony Gonzalez for some SI reporting, then flew to San Francisco Tuesday evening. There's no point to the story. There's no punchline, no follow-up, no anything. Nothing omitted. That's all there is. The life of Peter King.

This is the greatest video I have ever seen http://deadspin.com/5960039/rick-re...sage-production Look at Steve Young! He stares at him for 10 straight seconds and then hits him during the report. Steve Young is all of the sudden my favorite!

Of course he manages to burn enough bridges not to have his own show anymore but I could listen to his barber talk about Tebow for hours.
