Well, it was supposed to be longer, but it got intercepted and brought back the other way.
Well then Peter King is going to have a new favorite piece of gravel in his growing collection!
Peter, there's this thing, called the Internet ...
You'd have to be a complete dunderhead to believe that Dilbeck pulled that trade out of his ass and got it nearly 100% right. Great work? Clearly he knew something, Pete.
Oh, really Pete? You've got an inside source who told you that a rookie drafted in the third round would have to be much better than a free agent the team just committed $10 million in guaranteed money to as part of a $26 million contract in order to win the starting job?
What the fuck does this have to do with anything?
Go stick your head in the sand some more, Peter.
Well, if Jesus Christ went out to the bars on Court Street, he'd be a pain in the ass continually showing off the whole "water into wine" trick so he could pick up the hottest chicks.
I mean, I'm a big Bruce fan, but I totally get where you're coming from. And, to fans like me, it's cringe inducing to hear a guy like King tell you how great SPringsteen is when it is patently obvious that King hasn't given a shit about Bruce Springsteen for probably decades before the other day (and now wants to talk about the one show he went to 40 years ago in every column). It's obnoxious.
Exactly. What I find particularly telling is that Peter King's pro-Bruce argument no-doubt relies on the same "regular guy" cliches and pseudo-macho bullshit that kept me from being a Springsteen fan until I was in my late teens (and Bruce himself overtly rejected around 1987).
The Santa Clause wasn't real. It was a dumb movie with Tim Allen.
The real point that King misses is that boutique hotels aren't business hotels.
People having sex. AKA not you.
He's been hanging with Garrison Keillor. They enjoy sharing lattes and microbrews.
King was just on Pardon the Interruption and explained that by saying, "There's a possibility he could have the best set of skill players he's ever had in his life this year in Denver."
It took me 10 seconds to name 4 skill players on the colts better than any skill players he has right now, and he had 3 of the 4 at the same time
Did anyone on PTI call him on this? Right off the top of my head, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark are better than anyone he has in Denver. What an idiot.
The crazy was saved for the end of his segment, so they just asked him a final question about why he predicted that the Jets will miss the playoffs. My guess is he was trolling, but he did sound serious. Not only is it easy to list a bunch of names in a few seconds that show the ton of offensive talent Peyton has played with, I think one could reasonably argue that this is the worst set of skill players in Peyton's 14 seasons. That's not to say this Bronco offense doesn't have talent, just that Peyton always had great players on offense as a Colt. Even the 1998 Colts, who finished 3-13, still had Faulk, Harrison, and Dilger. Yet Thomas, Decker, Dreessen, and McGahee are somehow all-time best talent? On top of that, while I'm not too familiar with the Bronco o-line, Peyton also had great protection throughout his career as a Colt. Anyway, here's the full quote (where King also implies he has the power to know which team will be hot in four months).
Not to beat this into the ground, but goodness gracious. That's just a terrible rationale for what amounts to a novelty pick.
Or maybe, just maybe, Peter, it'a an ipod touch that the 6 year-old refers to as his "phone". You know, essentially just a hand-held video game device that the parents whip out to keep the kid engaged on car trips?
