Let's Talk about Peter King, Sports Illustrated

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Everyone else busts on this guy, so why not us.

In Peter King's column today, he writes the following about professional running back LenDale White.
10. Tennessee (10-7). Go easy on the cheeseburgers in Phoenix, LenDale.
Here is a picture of Peter King:

Why not ask LenDale to not write a shitty sports column in Arizona while you're being a goddamn hypocite, Pete?

His job is to write about sports, LenDale's job is to (ostensibly something sports-related). Your comment is as weak as those who say "yeah, let's see if YOU could make a better movie!" to a film critic.

Weak. Very weak. I have lost a lot of respect for you in this thread.

Did you click on that picture? He is as big as THREE LenDales. Was there some story about LenDale White that I missed? Some scandal? Because it seems to me he just signaled out a guy on the Titans who used to have a weight problem and told him to quit being so husky. Which is fucking rich coming from that douche bag.

Physical fitness is irrelevant to being a writer, but very relevant to being a professional athlete. Do you understand the difference?

Hey, here's one, whenever someone criticizes an album you like, point out that they never MADE an album, and likely cannot even play an instrument! ZING!

Your argument doesn't apply. LenDale is playing as you would expect a third round running back to play. Maybe even a little bit better. There was certainly no cause to rip into him.

How about this: a guy writing a weekly sports column should be topical. Would you object if King wrote, for his update on the Bears, "Here's hoping Walter Payton pulls through and makes it?"

Doesnt apply for fat. Fat people people cant call out other fat people. The real issue here is King will cocksuck the Eagles, Cowboys and Patriots all day and then make comments like the Lendale White cheesburger thing, cause he knows NOTHING about the other 29 teams in football.
I doubt he could name 4 players on the Titans. BUT HE REMEMBERS WHO THE FAT ONES ARE!!!

So King is FAT and stupid, which does hamper his writing. Cause we know fat=lazy.
the last group complained, quite tellingly They said, "Why don't you have a spoon that just says 'Earth?' It would save time

I assumed you were talking about the actual, historical Buddha and not some make-believe character from SCIENCE FICTION.
