He's bad, but Omar Kelly still exists.

These are from the last hour.

@OmarKelly: Ask yourself who uncovers & documents most of the world's corruption? Newspapers are the watchdog for the world's evil people.

@OmarKelly: While football practice might confuse some, I've been doing them for 25-years. At this point it's like the Matrix to me. I see the code.

@OmarKelly: Caleb Sturgis might want to try yoga. That really helped me with my groin/hernia issues.

After falling short of achieving his childhood dream to become a super hero, Omar Kelly figured he'd do the next best thing and become a journalist who fights against injustice, and searches for truth. After being bored to death reporting news and covering politics, he switched to sports.

There is at least a handful of those tweets every single day from Omar. It's a constant goldmine because he tweets so much.

He is at 149,600 tweets right now lol

That seems low. He must be tweeting a lot more since I began following him.

Here are some from just now. He's going on a rant again.

@OmarKelly: People often ask why do I spent so much time explaining myself. What they don't realize is...you don't see my mentions.

@OmarKelly: People discover me by word of mouth. They have no clue who I am, what I do, why I do it, what qualifies me. Therefore, they challenge me.

@OmarKelly: Please understand about 2,000 new people have followed me since camp started. Family members, agents, friends. I hurt their feelings plenty.

@OmarKelly: That's not my intent. I'm like a ref calling a game. I call a fair 1. I don't play favorites, don't do politics. I'm just straight shooting

@OmarKelly: Most new followers either love me, or hate me (story of my life). I mean no harm. What I'm doing is my job. I'm not meant for everyone.

@OmarKelly: If you stay in your feelings, or have a sensitive stomach, or don't like to hear MY TRUTHS....I do both of us a favor & unfollow.

@OmarKelly: As I said when camp began...if you're new just be quiet and observe what I do and how I do it. Soon enough you'll figure me out.

@OmarKelly The radio segment I did TODAY with Guzio and Donno might be the best interview I've done ALL YEAR. It was a great discussion.

@OmarKelly While I've done a TON of work & research on Chris McCain, notice I haven't written a story yet. Sometimes good reporting takes time.

@OmarKelly I have nicknames for each of the loyal, faithful, hardcore followers. Don't ask....some aren't flattering. Nobody better than Smurf Killer.

@OmarKelly To @NYJ_Henry I like you, but I have to remind myself you're the enemy. You'll stab me in the back if you catch me slipping.

The man wrote about his bowel movements in a media column available to readers worldwide and got paid for it.

And it wasn't a troll column either. He was absolutely loving sincere about sharing his adventures in mildly-inconvenient diarrhea with the human race as a whole.

I remember someone asked him what he felt about KSK's long standing tradition of mocking him every week and he said he doesn't read it because it made him sad.

I think he just ignores people who don't agree with him and lives in a comfortable bubble where his success allows him to not notice his critcism.

He's a lucky loving bastard and I hate him unreservedly for it. Basically if you showed Peter King to the God of Moses, he'd go back and rewrite the 10th Commandment.

Thats what I mean though. Like this week when he was upset people were mean to him about the Cam Newton thing. He reacts to criticism with this weird sadness like "whaddya mean you don't like me?" as if the notion people don't like him is so completely foreign to him.

I was musing about today about how bad football commentary is. Can you name a single commentator or writer who actually discusses the strategy that goes on in a a game? What schemes the teams generally run, how they appear to have schemed for the game, how they countered each other and adjusted within the game, what plays they ran, why they ran them, how things are evolving or changed. FO gets there with some play-by-play analysis but it's exceedingly rare for how large the sport is.

I can't claim to know how good his analysis is, but Mike Mayock seems to try to stick to what's happening on the field rather than idiotic "narratives".

Mike Tanier occasionally does some, but if I actually start looking for breakdowns I usually go all the way to someone like Muth, who probably doesn't even get 10 grand a year to write what he does, which is a shame. (Salary pulled completely out of my rear end because I assume he does it for fun and not profit) Gruden is honestly the only big name guy I can think of who discusses that, and he usually saves it for things like the QB camp videos and not the games, which is a tragedy.

I also don't like lumping Gruden in with the media because to me he still feels like a coach, just one who is out of work.
