I don't mind Peter King too much since his website has some pretty quality journalism.

@OmarKelly: It's called holding the Dolphins accountable. Philbin, Tannehill, Hickey, Ross, coordinators don't have to answer to you. They answer to me. @OmarKelly: I hold them accountable for you because that's MY JOB...You hold me accountable. See how that works?

Because this is an actual message from Omar to me when he banned my fake Brandon Marshall account I told him I had more credibility than he did and I was admitted fake twitter person for a few accounts that harasses him. I hate omar so much.

I only know Omar through the few things I've seen on TFF but he seems a little like sports journalism's real life version of The Onion character Herbert Kornfeld (the "gangsta" accountant at Midstate Office Supply they killed off after they wore out the premise).

Personality wise, it's hard to say, but there are still some good groups out there. Yahoo's investigative journalists did a great job with things like the Univ. of Miami sanctions and the Jerry Sandusky stories. Same for Deadspin who I believe were the first to get to the bottom of the Manti Te'o story. That said, both employ some pretty annoying personalities as well, but that's basically the norm these days.

Zach Lowe spends a significant amount of time awkwardly trying to fire back at people he thinks are being critical of him on twitter, even if they were actually complementing him.

He is a very in-depth x's and o's guy, not a sports journalist who reports on trades, etc. His Twitter on Saturdays and Sundays is a fantastic compilation of decent takes and analysis of various games being played.

Holly Anderson is also a genuinely good and entertaining reporter. Outside of Grantland we're all forgetting TFF favorite Spencer Hall.

I know the rule is to never read TMQ but if I hadn't, I would not have found this gem:TMQ posted:That Year 2000 column introduced Stop Me Before I Blitz Again, and also discussed my alternative names for the Washington franchise. Then I was calling the team the Chesapeake Watershed Region Indigenous Persons. I changed to Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous Persons when readers noted that Baltimore in is the Chesapeake watershed. Plus, I liked associating Dan Snyder's team with the word "drainage." Then he goes on about using the Matwesaso and at some point the column devolves into how the private sector would fix infrastructure faster than the public sector does, so pretty par for the course.

Just last night, an editor at the New Republic was arguing on Twitter that there was nothing wrong with running stories past the ad sales team to alert them that their precious little clients might be mentioned in stories. Horrifying

Let's talk about this week's mmqb: http://mmqb.si.com/2014/10/06/nfl-week-5-peter-king-monday-morning-quarterback/7/ I'm on my phone so I'll keep it brief, but it's just glaringly obvious that Peter King's main problem as a journalist and reporter is access and laziness. Look at the number of Patriots he talks to for the story--he even gets Vince Wilfork "early this morning." Then contrast that with his coverage of every other team. It's short locker room phone calls, one canned quote and done. It's just crazy how unbalanced he is and it's crazy nobody at SI is bringing this up to him. The man should be SI's AFC East blogger. Not a national columnist.

Does ESPN still use division level bloggers? I thought every team had a dedicated blogger in lieu of the old division set up?

This makes me happy for several reasonsquote:Stayed at a Connecticut hotel Saturday night. Checked in around 6 and turned on the TV to watch the end of Alabama-Ole Miss. During a commercial, I flipped through the 50 channels to see how Nats-Giants was progressing. The TV didn’t have FOX Sports 1. No Nats-Giants then. I like how he mentions the Alabama game but doesn't reference anything special about it, just bitches about not being able to find baseball.
