Peter King Does Not Approve Of You Getting All Chummy With Players
When we last left name-dropping thought football enthusiast Peter King, he was making a stupid amount of money, resisting the temptation to have a slumber party at various players’ houses, and marveling at barren moonscape that is Eastern Connecticut thru his Acela cabin window.
So, what can we expect from our lofty companion this week? Did he get swine flu? No? Could he get swine flu? Is there a way to capture swine flu in a syringe and inject directly into him? No? Are we sure about this?
Just asking.
Let’s dig in…
As impressed as I am with Josh McDaniels in the wake of his 20-17 overtime victory over his mentor, Bill Belichick (I detailed much of that in last week’s column), I’m just as impressed with (Kyle) Orton. Will it last? I don’t know. Will the bubble burst? I don’t know.
Is Kyle Orton some sort of prodigal alchemist? I don’t know. Will bears one day learn to hang glide? I don’t know. Why did that German man just spend five minutes in the shitter with the New York Times and then put it back? I don’t know. For you see, journalism is like chemistry…
But right now, he’s every bit the surprising find to McDaniels’ Denver team as Tom Brady was to the Patriots in 2001.
1. Tom Brady didn’t play a snap of football until 2001. Kyle Orton has been starting games for years.
2. Tom Brady won the Super Bowl that year. So perhaps it would be wise to resist sucking the whiskey out of Orton’s cock just yet.
Underline this and put it in your mental bold print:
OKAY!
I’m not saying Orton is as good as Brady or ever will be
But you kind of just did. I have it underlined in my skull.
what I am saying is that he’s doing for the Broncos in 2009 what Brady did when Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury in 2001. Brady led the Patriots to a Super Bowl win no one saw coming. Can you sit there right now and say Orton might not do the same thing?
Yes. Yes, I can. He won’t do the same thing, considering that Peyton Manning is destroying the fucking world right now.
Sunday at Invesco Field at Mile High (what a silly stadium moniker)
Indeed. What a stupid name. When the hell did they get THAT dopey name for it? Oh, eight years ago? Well, then.
In Baltimore, the Bengals completed the AFC North Hat Trick. Three Sundays, three AFC North wins. And good things, evidently, come in threes, as in three-point wins
All good sentences, evidently, come fully explained, as in I explain what I just wrote in the previous clause.
Most important is the Bengals have established a physical presence, led by punishing rookie linebacker Rey Maualuga. “He hits you like a cinderblock wall,” Lewis said.
HE’S CINDERBLOCK CYANIDE!
Seriously though, I do wish walls would stop hitting me all the time. The other day I walked by a wall and it reached out and smacked me right in the cock.
The Bengals could have been the same old Bengals a couple of times Sunday. Ed Reed picked off Carson Palmer and ran 52 yards with a second-quarter interception for a touchdown, sending the crowd into a frenzy with the first points of the day. On the last drive of the game, Ray Lewis hit Chad Ochocinco coming across the middle so explosively that it tore his helmet off; Lewis got hit with a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness on a defenseless receiver.
“You could have folded then,” I said to Marvin Lewis.
“I could have asked you an actual question then,” I said to Marvin Lewis as I worked the shaft.
There are some interesting developments in Cleveland, with the scratch-and-clawing 6-3 upset of the Bills Sunday, following Adam Schefter’s report on ESPN that the Browns willingly allowed a rookie running back, James Davis, to practice recently without pads against fully padded defensive players, resulting in a season-ended shoulder injury for Davis.
Wait, WHAT?! What in the living fuck?
DAVIS: Hey Coach ‘gini, mind if I practice without pads and expose myself to brutal injuries?
MANGINI: Sure. So long as you remember today’s quote I posted in the cafeteria!
Michael Crabtree signs: Well, throw a parade.
Now that’s what I call sarcasm!
I’ll have a few thoughts on the uselessness of the holdout below in 10 Things, but let’s use this space for something useful — like what Crabtree’s role will be.
All variants of the word “use,” evidently, come in threes. But let’s waste this space for something more wasteful… WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH AIRTRAN?
After his third practice with Crabtree, quarterback Shaun Hill told me he thought Crabtree could be a useful piece this year. “He’s got strong hands, late hands,” Hill said.
Lofty hands.
Happy birthday, Brett Favre
You’ll never guess what I got you!
(Favre) said he hasn’t had anything to drink but water, has sworn off sweets, hasn’t been hunting…
BUT WHO WILL TEND THE DEER STAND?!
…and said he’s throwing totally pain-free. I asked him about the gigantic welcome-to-Minnesota billboards Wrangler, one of his employers, has put up around town. “Haven’t seem ‘em,” he said.
“Wouldn’t know the first thing about them, except that the cyan needs to be adjusted maybe one or two degrees in Photoshop if they really want the jeans to pop on the sign.”
“All I see is the road between my house and the training facility.” Tunnel vision.
The focus of a pedophile.
2. New York Giants (5-0). Take it from me…
Meryl Streep is one HELL of an actress.
…I had plantar fasciatis one summer in the mid-nineties. Stepped on a rock with my bare right foot in July.
Good rock. Maualugian rock.
It still bugged me in December and didn’t go away completely until I did aggressive physical therapy.
Hmm. Who knew injuries persisted until you actively worked to rehabilitate them?
It’s like going through the day with a toothache. It never goes away.
Unless you do physical therapy, which you did not.
You can live with it by stretching and massaging it, but Eli Manning’s going to feel this ’til after the season.
Unless he begins doing physical therapy. And is more physically active than Peter King. HE MIGHT HAVE IT FOR LIFE IF MY OWN EXAMPLE IS ANY INDICATION. Will it last? I don’t know.
4. Indianapolis (5-0). Three road night games in the past 21 days. What team has played three road night games in a four-game span in NFL history? Doubt it’s ever happened.
But let’s not verify this. I only work for one of the biggest sports media conglomerates on earth, with infinite resources at my disposal.
7. Cincinnati (4-1). Not only are the Bengals in control of the AFC North, but also they’re 3-0 in the division, 3-0 on the road … and, oh yes, Carson Palmer’s back, and he might be as good as ever. He’s certainly as clutch as ever.
HE DEFINES JETER.
11. Chicago (3-1). Idle ’til an interesting battle of the whippersnapper quarterbacks — Cutler vs. Matt Ryan — at the Georgia Dome next Sunday.
Not to mention the ragamuffin running backs!
12. Pittsburgh (3-2). I don’t like dropping the Steelers four spots after a road win. I understand it’s not fair.
SO UNFAIR. Interesting Fine Fifteen nugget: You don’t qualify for the playoffs if you drop below #10!
It’s dubious that NFL Network can have (Deion) Sanders on the air commenting on anything relating to Crabtree when he’s advising him.
Indeed. Journalists should not be covering players that they advise. Not unlike what Peter admitted to doing in February of this year. JOIN ME IN THE WAYBACK MACHINE…
I said to Favre he should at least talk to (Mike) Tannenbaum; why wonder sometime down the road if it might have been a smart way to spend one final year or two in the NFL? A few nights later, Tannenbaum and Favre finally spoke and Tannenbaum began the sales job on Favre.
GOTCHA, BITCH.
Back to King’s original point. Hint: It’s useless!
Second, there’s no question Sanders is good on TV and makes good analytical points about all aspects of the game. The problem is, you don’t know when you’re listening to him who his sacred cows are, who he’s training, who he’s taken under his wing.
In other news: Did you know Bill Belichick visits cancer babies? It’s a side of him many people don’t get to see, but I do! HE LOVES CANCER BABIES AND IS A VERY WELL-READ PERSON.
Is he over-praising Ray Lewis or Ed Reed because he’s so tight with them? Or is he over-praising scores of other players because he’s worked out with them or advised them or mentored them or exchanged texts with them before and after games?
Remember: this is Peter King talking about another person. Who is not Peter King. TEXT HIM, JAY!
MVP Watch
2. Eli Manning, QB, New York Giants. It’s sort of cute to have the Mannings 1-2. I’ll admit that.
Almost as cute as the Bowers twins! Little whippersnappers!
3. Darrelle Revis, CB, New York Jets. Well-documented. I love him. Shutdown machine.
He’s like a wall that covers you.
Enjoyable/Aggravating Travel Note of the Week
Tried one of the low-cost carriers to and from Minneapolis for the Packers-Vikings game last Monday. They sure are friendly at Sun Country Airlines, and they fly big planes…
OOOH BIG PLANE! I’M THINK, THIS LARGE!
and, though they pack ‘em in like sardines, it’s at least non-stop at a sub-$300 round-trip fare.
BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS MY KIT KAT?
Shameless MMQB Book Promotion of the Week
In (my new) book, I also pass along some of my greatest hits from past columns. Like this gem from my coverage on the day of the 1999 draft:
Indianapolis will rue the day it bypassed Ricky Williams for Edgerrin James. This is a dark day for the Colts franchise.
And that sort of peerless analysis is why I make the big bucks.
So buy my book. It has old predictions that turned out to be wrong!
Tweet of the Week
“Just because you are clueless doesn’t mean everyone else is Peter. Is SI still in business?”
–@mcuban, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, to me Saturday night at 10:52.
This little tempest occurred when I was asked on Twitter where the United Football League game between Florida and New York was being televised. I said it was on “HDNet, whatever that is.” I had never heard of HDNet until seeing it was the outlet for Saturday’s game. A flurry of tweets informed me it was Mark Cuban’s channel. Cuban’s amiable Tweet followed. Then I wrote two Tweets:
“Nice to meet you, Mark.”
“Never heard of HDNet till tonight. Sue me. I cover football, not television.”
I cover football, DICK. By the way: nonfootball thought of the week, Part G, section subset 6W: Derek Jeter can play for my team ANYTIME.
Then Cuban accused me of being condescending to his channel.
Which you were. Don’t make me defend Mark Cuban, fella.
And so on. The Tweeters loved that. @Iluvcollinfultz wrote: “Oh, HELL YES! Old man Twitter catfight!! Ding, ding, ding!!” And @PatIVERSON wrote: “Round 3! King sidesteps a Cuban punch, throws a body blow! Intense!”
Not really.
“Play nice, fellas,” came in a while later, from @qbkilla, someone who always played nice. Warren Sapp.
Warren Sapp! WHOA! It’s like a rare Hollywood Squares episode! Also, I know Tony Dungy.
f. The Patriots ought to wear those togs every single, solitary time they wear white.
Every time they wear white and are alone?
Gorgeous. Classy.
Sexy.
And those helmets with the real Patriot snapping the ball … fantastic.
Holy shit. The Pat Patriot logo is one of the dumbest fucking logos ever conceived. It looks like it was drawn in an 11th grader’s notebook. The Patriots never won anything in those fucking uniforms. And this year, wearing the throwbacks, they’ve lost to Denver and barely beaten Buffalo. Awful, horrible Buffalo. But if you Pats fans would REALLY like to go back to uniforms that make you play like complete ass, be my fucking guest.
Bill Belichick has to be verrrrrry comfy with his manhood to wear that cheerleadery pompom ball on the top of his hat.
I expect more from a coach who has Sun Tzu books in his personal library. Now excuse me while I enjoy this Sunrise chai with my pinky out.
Loved the Chiefs’ Texans helmet. Strange, of course, with a map of Texas on the side of helmets the day they play a Texas team, but good helmets nonetheless.
Indeed. They’re the exact same as the Chiefs regular helmets, only they’re geographically incorrect. Awesome.
The Broncos uniforms were so ugly I actually like them.
I like old things, like U2’s music!
Matt Hasselbeck. I’ve said it before and will again: If he stays upright, Seattle contends for the playoffs.
Now there’s a bold statement. This just in: Matt Hasselbeck is kinda important!
Rashard Mendenhall, you’re making Mike Tomlin’s job tough. With 242 yards and a 5.5-yard average carry the last two weeks by the second-year back, what’s Tomlin going to do when Willie Parker returns from his turf toe?
Uh… not play Willie Parker?
Tough decision.
The Lions are not terrible. They compete.
They’re human. Also, they’re 1-4.
Tony Romo threw for 351 with no turnovers and took only one sack … without Terrell Owens and Roy Williams. He threw for Miles Austin, Patrick Crayton and Sam Hurd 25 times and netted 304 passing yards from those throws. What’s that say to you? Says it’s a blue-collar game to me.
What does that even mean? Yes, it was a real lunch pail game out there for Romo. He threw to his available wideouts. THEN HE WENT HOME AND WATCHED THE HISTORY CHANNEL, WHICH YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED.
e. Patriots 27 carries. Laurence Maroney five. Wall, meeting handwriting.
If it’s a cinderblock wall, that handwriting is in for a good smack.
g. Chris Berman said this Sunday morning, and it’s still true: Darrius Heyward-Bey has more names (three) than catches (two).
It’s funny because it’s obvious and old!
Magic’s over, Kerry Collins. It’s Vince Young’s turn.
You’re gonna have to do a lot more to make me believe in you, like doing a Sling Blade impression. RECKON I LIKE DEM FRENCH FRIED POTATERS HMM MMM.
I demand to know…
Shouldn’t THIS be the name of King’s book?
…why the volume on some television commercials is 30 percent higher than the volume on the regular program. And if I find out it’s anything like the sponsors pay more money to get their volume raised, I vow to never buy that advertisers product again.
THIS MEANS YOU, WESTIN!
Earlier this morning, 2:06 a.m. Because my hotel coffee stinks out loud…
MARRRIOTTTTTT!!!!!
…I get my coffee on the outside. (Sound familiar, Mr. Seinfeld?)
NOT!
Tonight, on the walk back from NBC’s studios, I stopped at a midtown deli in need of some caffeine. But not wanting to risk the coffee, not knowing how long it’d been in the urn, I got an Illy Issimo cold cappuccino — 8.4 ounces of (I hope) two shots of espresso and lowfat milk and cocoa. I’ll need it an hour from now. The early results are encouraging. That is, I’m not drooling on the keyboard.
And just look at my flawless syntax. It comes in threes, that is to say, there are three awkward transitions per sentence! Usefully used is my uselessness!
I wasn’t sure it would be possible for the Pam/Jim wedding episode of The Office to be better than I thought, because it was a much-anticipated show.
This sentence brought to you by Illy! Illy: For When You Want To Sound Like Kige Ramsey!
But it was a superb hour of television. I won’t spoil it for you
OMFG! THEY MOVE TO MONTCLAIR!

What’s that say to you? Says it’s a blue-collar game to me.
Wow. Just… fuck, wow. That’s too stupid for words. But if those Chiefs DBs hadn’t been downfield doing their taxes like a bunch of white-collar nancies, they really had a shot in that game.
Also, per Goodell’s ruling, the collar was and will continue to be pink until the end of the month.

I thought all the OralGel he took from Farve would’ve cured his toothache. Here’s an idea; read one of your fucking columns in a dentists chair, fall asleep from the insanely inane and boring shit you write, and voila, toothache gone!
Wait a fucking minute!! How the fuck is Matt Ryan a whippersnapper? Has he sulked, bitched about coaches, receivers, or management? All he’s done is play pretty consistently at QB, worked hard, and gotten the respect of his teammate and the biggest trait he’s got is that he’s the anti-sulk.

Is he over-praising Ray Lewis or Ed Reed because he’s so tight with them? Or is he over-praising scores of other players because he’s worked out with them or advised them or mentored them or exchanged texts with them before and after games?
Who gives a flying fuck whether Deon “over-praises” someone?!?! Its Deon fucking Sanders on a network that half of America doesn’t get and the other half doesn’t watch. Is there some new column in the standings for “most praise from washed up loudmouths”? Is his praise radiating out into space and affecting how the refs call the games? Of all the shit for PK to complain about (never mind his total hypocrisy on the subject) he’s worried about this?
October 12th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Oh, and I think I figured out the whole “why commercials are louder” mystery when I was about 7. But then again I’m a slow learner.

I hate the throwbacks. Burn them…
October 12th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Seriously. It must be hard to be Mike Tomlin. How about this: Start Parker, Watch Parker fall over his own/his offensive line’s feet 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage 5 or five times, put in Mendenhall. Tough choices. Lofty choices. I mean, we all know how important and significant it is for a running back to play the very first snap. No team uses two running backs, except for Tennessee, San Francisco, Baltimore, New York Jets, New York Giants, Dallas, Philadelphia, Atlanta… ::falls asleep at keyboard from fatigue due to blatantly obvious flaws in King’s arguments::
October 12th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Unfortunately, I once met one of Peter King’s daughters. I now know where all of King’s stupid money goes- to his daughter’s FACE and NOSE, if you catch my drift. (She’s fat and does cocaine).

“Loved the Chiefs’ Texans helmet. Strange, of course, with a map of Texas on the side of helmets the day they play a Texas team, but good helmets nonetheless.”
Not strange at all you, you numb fuck. Have you noticed the old-school throwbacks when certain teams meet this year? Certain teams who have been around for a while, perhaps? Well, I have some news that will blow your mind, Peter. Turns out the Kansas City Chiefs were originally the….fuck it. Never mind.

1. As a Pats fan with mainly horribly memories of the ‘Pat Patriot’ days, I say burn them the throwbacks, especially the all whites. They look like rejects from a gay sailors’ revue. Hell, the actual first AFL/Boston Pats’ helmet with the tri-corner, George Washington style hats were much better.
c. In 2007 weeks 9-13, the Pats played 3 road games in 28 days, 2 begun after 8 pm, one was the 4:30 game that didn’t end until after dark. That search took me all of nine seconds and while not exactly the same as 3 8pm road games in a row, the cause is the same: the Colts are a marquee team that is playing unbelievably well right now and will continue to play as late as possible each week.
ß. duh.
October 12th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
“Second, there’s no question Sanders is good on TV and makes good analytical points about all aspects of the game.” Of all the stupid statements to dribble from PK’s kit-kat encrusted fingers, this might be the most egregious. Sanders makes Warren Sapp sound like a member of Mensa. His “analysis” revolves around a few goof-ball statements that he makes over and over again. His “analsysis” is based on the same schtick day after day. He is, in short, an open-mothed, slack-jawed moron.

[I]On the last drive of the game, Ray Lewis hit Chad Ochocinco coming across the middle so explosively that it tore his helmet off; Lewis got hit with a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness on a defenseless receiver.
“You could have folded then,” I said to Marvin Lewis.[/I]
Yeah, because after you get a crucial 15-yard penalty in your favor giving you a first down deep into opposing territory with less than two minutes to go in the game is usually when teams decide to pack it in for the day.
Does this guy even watch games?

Yeah, Romo threw for 304 yards. He also fumbled four times and lead his team to enough points to avoid overtime against one of the worst teams in the league. Gritty, indeed. Like the grit the cat leaves your bed after he visits the litter box.

Great post. Lofty post. Welcome back Drew. You’re the MMQB of my heart and groin.

But right now, he’s every bit the surprising find to McDaniels’ Denver team as Tom Brady was to the Patriots in 2001.
Surprising find? He wasn’t the towel boy, fat ass. When you sign a first-string quarterback, isn’t he SUPPOSED to be good?
October 12th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
“Bill Belichick has to be verrrrrry comfy with his manhood…”
I hope PK meant to use masculinity instead of manhood, because every other time I’ve heard talk of a person’s manhood they were referencing that person’s cock.

What Peter King meant to say was, it’s ok to over praise a player….as long as you are fellating said player. Peter King has ‘deep’ and meaningful relationships with the players he over praises…and by deep i mean deep throat.

October 12th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Like you, I enjoy how asking a question and then answering it by saying, “I don’t know” is now journalism. Man, I wish that worked at my job. Coworker: “Hey, have you finished with that ______ I sent you awhile ago?” Me: “I don’t know.” Coworker: “Alright then, good job.”

Yeah, you admit that you are one gay-ass motherfucker. The Mannings are far from cute, except for a cock watcher like you. Homely at best. If not for their genes they’d be riding land whales and driving mini-vans.
October 12th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
God forbid he should investigate anything. The FCC puts a cap on the volume of commercials, but many advertisers will max out the levels so it sounds louder than the normal broadcast.
October 12th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Seriously, what do people see in PK that is redeeming? How in the world is this idiot being paid to write professionally? He really makes me want to strangle myself, stab out my eyes, huff paint, and date Paris Hilton with this lack of any insight into the NFL and horrible use of grammar.
I got to stop reading these things on Mondays.
October 12th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Uhhh didn’t PK defend Kerry Collins last week, claiming his accuracy and yards per attempt were comparable to 08-09? Now he’s calling The Dream over and demanding Vince Young.
Sounds Collins must have gotten some in PK’s eye during their facial. And then didn’t return his texts. Which was really the bigger issue.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
““Play nice, fellas,” came in a while later, from @qbkilla, someone who always played nice. Warren Sapp.”

@ john john the bastard: wtf are you talking about? re-read the post?
@ slothrop: they actually played three night games in a row: bills and eagles were flex nbc games, ravens was the scheduled monday nighter. so 3 night games in 16 days. indy was the late afternoon start, yeah, but it makes peter sound like more of a dipshit to just talk about those 3.
though i guess this falls more under the category of “covering television” and not “covering football”? eat a dick, mark cuban?

Why would Peter King want a new football league to fail? I mean think of the aggravating travel notes he could entertain us with driving to the UFL training camps.
