As a former reporter, I am having trouble understanding what King's point is supposed to be. Reporters serve the public, not their sources. There was nothing surreptitious, illegal, or unethical about a documentary filmmaker releasing footage of statements made in his presence. I also get a kick out of how he passes judgment on a contract he admits he's never seen. What a dolt.

Rick Reilly has a column today about why it's better to watch an NFL game at home instead of attending live. Granted, this is just a gag list column, but it's still incredibly stupid. I attended my first NFL game earlier this year, and it completely changed the way I enjoy the game.

Looking at preseason predictions is always fun. At the beginning of the season, Peter King was predicting that the Chiefs would have the No. 3 AFC seed and had Romeo Crennel pegged for coach of the year.

Fake edit: In fact, three of SI's writers had Romeo as coach of the year. :psyduck:

Seifert has since edited the post to read: "Offensive pass interference calls aren't as rare as you might think. Through Week 14, officials had called a total of 72. Still, that's an avearge of about one for every three games this season."

Welp Tebow is a little off topic and we're coming into prime lovely sportswriting season, so anybody got anything good on that front?

Yes, Tim Tebow and lovely sportswriting are truly polar opposites.

"Plus the Jaguars spent a draft choice on Denard Robinson: If he ends up playing the "slash" role that might have gone to Tebow, Jacksonville management will have blundered anew."

Why would the Jaguars look bad if Denard works out? Wouldn't they only look bad if Denard does NOT fill the hole he thinks Tebow would have?

What amazes me about the uncle at Nintendo thing was how many kids did it. We all have that story about the kid who said his uncle worked for Nintendo. There is something that just clicked in the popular consciousness that made it a spontaneous thing.

It's true. And yet, decades later, I've still never met anyone whose uncle worked at Sega.

edit: in case you don't know why this is hilarious, here is a really long article on what a huge jackass he is:

Great, great read. I had not followed this story at all, and this piece was fascinating. I can't stop laughing at the idea that Whitlock was so upset by the first article that he broke down and started binge watching 9/11 truther videos.
