Benne posted:Pete Prisco is a loving clown and an embarrassment to the sportswriter community, even by sportswriter standards. Why CBS is still writing him checks is a mystery to me. I think they're still writing him checks because columnist jobs are (inexplicably) for life, barring extreme embarrassment for the given media outlet.

Rap posted:The worst part of the King response is that he treats legal requirements as just vague suggestions. "I'm simply asking whether it's more practical to follow or to violate federal law." Must be a side effect of all that time he spent with Goodell.

Great hit piece on RGIII, whom she calls a "boy emperor". Then there's this gem, which she buries down near the bottom third of the article: Does Shanahan really think he looks better by leaking this? I mean, don't owners consider "planting hit pieces in the press" to be a more grievous sin than "kinda sucking at your job"?

@SI_PeterKing Apropos Of Nothing Dept.: In June, I was at a Starbucks in downtown Pgh. Andrew McCutchen was in front of me in line. He ordered drink, >>>> @SI_PeterKing ... And barista said to him: "Name for the cup?" McCutchen bellowed: @SI_PeterKing "HIS MAJESTY ANDREW STEFAN MCCUTCHEN, FIRST OF HIS NAME, NATIONAL LEAGUE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER, EMPEROR OF INDIA AND THE OCEAN SEA." @SI_PeterKing Barista: "That won't fit on the cup." Weird, huh?

Not that she wasn't being lovely, but I don't think this is worthy of suspension. Her being a (non-criminal) lousy person should probably be beyond her employer's purview.

Could not find a clearer example of celebrity being the enemy of good writing. If Peter King weren't Peter King, Senior NFL Reporter, someone along the way would have asked "Who the gently caress is interested in this bulllshit?"

Burger Trench posted:I mean, if he transcribed it from the image word-for-word, we wouldn't be talking about this. NFL reporters report on injuries all the time. It just seems that obtaining a confidential report (and possibly getting someone to break the law while doing so) should be reserved for more serious matters than "a player's injury status in July. "

Burger Trench posted:Yeah, it was kind of jarring to see, I admit. But substantively, it doesn't compromise his journalistic integrity more than any other injury update he posts. Of course, his source is probably easier to find and more hosed than usual. It could gently caress his source, and it could gently caress people who aren't his source (maybe the wrong person gets blamed). I don't see the picture accomplishing anything a paraphrase wouldn't have. It seems to be just a dangerous way to break nonessential news.
