I sent him hate mail for years as a result of him characterizing the kid as having “stolen” the ball.

What a duffushead he was and is.

Well done Drew.

One disclaimer. I’m a UT grad and love Vince Young, and if you hate him as much as I love him, then that’s too bad. In this mailbag – http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/peter_king/06/16/mail/1.html – PK answers a question about how VY was probably coddled at UT.

Here’s the deal PK, VY was a GOD at UT. He was cool, he was a winner, he came through in the clutch every single time. So of course he was coddled. Who wouldn’t coddle a superstar? So you decide to speak negatively of the coaching staff of a college that’s a perennial title contender? And the counter example is Tom Brady? Tom Brady sucked in college!! That’s why he went low. Please don’t tell me that the coaching staff at Michigan were going to coddle Tom Brady in any way.

This smacks of racism PK, or atleast homerism. You’re so hell-bent of beating up VY that you’re blind to the obvious. VY might such as a pro QB but he was a fantastic college QB, just like Brady might be a good pro but sucked as a college QB. So let’s not get carried away here. You’re an asshole PK.

He’s not the fucking USO.

Wasn’t King just advising Fisher, et al, on the experience of going to visit the troops. King actually IS the USO. Didn’t they used to get Playmates?

Good use? Oh, I think I know the use. That’s right. BASEBALL POPCORN STRING ANAL BEADS. Now that’s what I call a seventh inning stretch!

I just snorted partially chewed soft pretzel bits out of my nose.

You could dump a thousand cubic miles of vinegar into Lake Superior and have CERN come up with a mammoth delivery system of untold intricacy that could be considered the next Wonder of the World, and it still wouldn’t be nearly as big a douche as Peter King is.

@Jack

Why? How early does he draft Mass Transportation?

While King is on hiatus you guys should do a breakdown of his fantasy football draft in SI’s fantasy magazine. Like everything else King does it inane and nonsensical.

I think what we’re trying to say here is that getting a baseball is a big deal to a little kid, it shouldn’t be a big deal to a grown man, unless it’s the ball from the game-winning home run from the deciding game in the World Series, and even then, it’s bad form to knock a kid out of the way to get at it. Hustling your fat ass (well, OK, in PK’s case, waddling) to get a foul ball from a child in an exhibition game (not even a regular season game) is pure, unadulterated douchebaggery.

Its sad knowing that King is the kind of person that will never see what he did to that kid as wrong. He just thinks “well, the rules say this, the rules say that, he shouldn’t be there, I should” what a flaming bag of horse shit. Technically, the rules say that he shouldn’t be there either! Its shit like this that makes me think that there are circumstances where violence is justified.
