Cross posting cause not only does Peter King not write well about terrible coffee, he doesn't quite grasp grammar.

quote:

SAN FRANCISCO -- "It's going to be a blood bath," Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty said this week of the NFC Championship Game.

Right sentiment, wrong adjective. "Mud." Mud bath.

It's almost entirely horseshit, considering that copula deletion, implied semantic data and idiom isn't measured by the equation. Thank loving Christ I don't have to conform to a certain value at work.

It is nice to know that there is an actual metric you can use to call Rick Reilly lovely though.

It's really too easy to rip on Peter King, especially in this somewhat dishonest fashion. But this amused me:

I saw that too and it amused me. I'm giving him a pass this week though cause that transcripted speech was interesting. It does indicate that his column is best when he isn't actually writing it though.

I imagine him still using Dial Up and getting really angry when someone calls him

He has a pile of those '30 free hours!' discs and is set on using every single one of them.

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.

What does any of this mean?

It's a Chris Kluwe gimmick post. Unless of course he actually IS Chris Kluwe. We'll know for sure if Kluwe bobbles a snap or gets a punt blocked in the Vikings' next game vs the Seahawks :tinfoil:

Help

Have you ever shattered an eight year old's dream by narcing on him at a baseball game and stealing a foul ball?

It is unquestionable that Rick Reilly should be fired for such a massive breach of ethics which is why I think ESPN is going to do jack poo poo except maybe make him issue an apology.

I'm actually proud or PK for that one. Sure it wasn't about football, but he had like a real, coherent, not-incorrect thought about something and it wasn't spoon-fed to him.

I don't read at MMQB, I read and vibe along with the weekly KSK post.

Which is probably a shame, because it means I don't read anything else from MMQB unless someone links it in a thread here. He's sabotaging his own website.

@ArmandoSalguero: I have it on good authority that the dolphins and Drew Rosenhaus have not even begun to talk about an Evan Mathis contract.

@OmarKelly: Spotted discussing a certain free agent OG (Evan Mathis) after practice today was Mike Tannenbaum & Drew Rosenhaus. LET'S DO THIS!

The way that's phrased makes it really clear that Omar was just guessing about what they were talking about. And also that Omar not grammar good
