I agree with anyone who wants “classic” PK breakdowns from Drew. It’s not like he has a full time job and two small children. Do your trick, pasty monkey!

Also, recommending a book based solely on the fact that he’s a friend of the authors, and then declaring himself a critical genius when a real reviewer says the book is good? Go sit on a fucking chainsaw.

I’m willing to challenge King to a semi-argument about Young’s quasi-breakdown.

“What happened to breaking down classic MMQB columns?”

Seconded. I was looking forward to that.

We’ll put it on together, raise up giant douchebaggery with Brett Favre and kit kats and Donnie Brasco and MacBook Airs (this summer).

Judging by his inability to use mapquest to get to the airport, I doubt he knows how to use weather.com. Instead he probably thinks the farmer’s almanac is the most accurate weather predictor.

“June 22nd, 2009 at 2:11 pm
“. . . and I said to myself: Joe Buck just got the interview that everyone in the media has wanted for the last three months, and all people are going to be talking about is how Artie Lange hijacked the show. Sad.”

Anybody give a shit what everyone in the media wants?

Anybody? Guys?

/crickets”

You said a mouthful, friend. The media wants Brett Favre to be relevant rather than an annoyance. The media wants baseball fans to know that steroids rip the very soul out of baseball even though the fans really don’t care–and the media wants you to know that steroids aren’t an issue in any sports except baseball, track and cycling. The media wants Kobe Bryant to be an all-time great player rather than simply a regular great player during a slow transitional era for the NBA. The media wants you to continue to be excited about Tiger Woods despite the fact that HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE IN GOLF AT LEAST TWICE. The media wants you to know how exciting hockey really is and how it stands up to football and baseball even though people only give a shit about games 6 and 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and then only if the Wings, Penguins, Habs, Bruins, or Rangers are playing. The media wants us to continue to give a shit about Lance Armstrong.

The media wants us to know that all the sports they write about are REALLY IMPORTANT. Fuck ‘em. We got bills to pay and lives to live. We pick our top three spectator sports–and there’s a big gap between #1 and #3–throw in either MMA or boxing, and that’s it. Nothing else matters.

“A penal with Peter King AND Joe Theismann? Where do I not sign up?” “Penal”? Great typo. Lofty typo.
