Too bad SI hasn't figured out that they could get rid of him, hire someone for much less than they're paying him, and get roughly the same number of clicks because the only reason people are reading it is because they're bored as hell at work.

Question not included: "What are the chances of a guy like you and a sportswriter like me getting together?"

With the kind of resources and access to the NFL Peter King has, you would think he could write an interesting football article. Of course, his target audience can probably relate to some of the many "problems" and "interesting things" in his life.

Grittybeard posted:Peter King fills a niche for people who can't follow football as much as they would like or aren't as crazy as we are here. One of my buddies teaches overseas and is broke/frugal enough that his exposure to the NFL is basically streaming a Chiefs game most weeks and reading MMQB. I've talked to him several times about how terrible King is but it's still a way for him to kill some time and sort of keep up with things. He realizes he's an idiot but still enjoys it, I don't know. Watching Chiefs and reading Peter King all last year would make me reconsider following the NFL. I actually read his article at work for awhile because of lack of better things to do. He had some OK stuff, but he could cut a lot out by keeping it more focused on whatever story he was trying to tell and specific league related things. Then he said something about that crazy WVU/Clemson Orange Bowl game being a meaningless bowl game and I quit reading anything he wrote.

He won't be the only sportswriter bitching about it, which is dumb and annoying because they're being paid to be at the loving Superbowl.

The only problem with Washington changing their name is the inevitable change to the "Washington Tigers" and Dan Snyder suing a bunch of college teams, the Detroit Tigers, and Tiger Woods for trademark infringement.
