The Football Fast Five: Peter King Edition

January 26, 2009

Since there were no games last week, and everyone is already discussed all the Super Bowl storylines to death, I’m just going back to the blogger well to the tried and true ‘Make fun of Peter King’ entry. It’s a favorite past-time of mine, so I’m excited about it even if you aren’t.

Let’s do this FJM style!

And, oh my gawd, the team he loved was the Steelers

Srsly?! LOL!

The man writes the (probably) most read football article on the web and he is mimicking the AIM conversations of sixteen year old girls. For shame.

Assuming Woodson gets in Saturday in his first year of eligibility, five of the six men in history with more interceptions than LeBeau (all but Ken Riley) will be bronzed in Canton.

Then why aren’t we crying for Ken Riley? Oh, because he wasn’t an (admittedly) amazing coaching mind who revolutionized the Def Coor. post and LeBeau was?  Then shut up about LeBeau’s paying career! You want him in as a coach, which he makes a very good case for, then shut up about the number of INTs he had in his playing career.

That’s how many he has stuck into his body, from his head to his feet … and they’re not pin-pricks either.

Apparently, PK isn’t familiar with accupuncture. It happens to be the practice of pricking your body with pins.

will be told by Andrea Kremer on our NBC Super Bowl pregame show Sunday, between 1 and 6 p.m. ET.

Way to work that plug in, PK.

I know the research Kremer has done for this story, and I strongly recommend you tuning in Sunday to see it. If I find out approximately when it will air, I’ll let you know later this week on SI.com.

Another plug so soon? You’re turning into some sort of shill monkey, PK. Oh, and PS – don’t act like we are all sitting around holding our breaths until you update us on the status of NBC’s pregame show mini-segments.

Enjoyable/Aggravating Travel Note of the Week

What is wrong with this picture?

I think you mean what is wrong with this article. I usually skip by this part of the article because it’s completely stupid. PK, someone who travels on company dimes to talk to athletes and cover football games gets to bitch about the inconvenience of hotels, or baggage claim, or how the Cinnabon’s in airports always stiff him on the icing. No one messes with PK’s warm white goo!

I’ve noticed when my frequent-flying gets me upgraded that they have real knives in first class now

Well well well, look at the King of France with his fancy metal knives. You plebians in the back know not of my metallic cutlery!

by doing something absolutely stupid, something that will make me look like a fool by the middle of Saturday afternoon

I hate to break it to you, but it’s 2:30 (PST) on Monday and you’re already an idiot.

Imagine being voted All-Pro five times while playing in absolute anonymity

Well, apparently the All-Pro voters had heard of him…

Problem is, Favre will never attend a team’s full offseason program

And people like PK wonder why most of us think Favre is just a pompous a-hole. If TO didn’t go to offseason programs, PK would be the first one calling him out on it.

I think, with no games this weekend, that I’ll have Phil Savage, the former Browns’ general manager who scouted all the practices at the Senior Bowl in Mobile last week, check in with his thoughts

Read: I’ll have someone else do this here work thingy. Collinsworth and I have to eat buffalo wings at a Friday’s with Marshawn Lynch.

I don’t like the naming of Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator. I love it

Ah, the ‘ol switcheroo! You had me going for a minute there, PK!

Give me a few days to noodle on the outcome

Does this sound gross to anyone else? One time I noodled on my girlfriend while she was sleeping. She was not pleased.

I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week

Oh gawd, here we go…

For the love of urinals

Wham! First line out of the gate.

b. Mike McGuire lives!

c. You and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers, Mike

1. This is not

2. how an outline works!

Coffeenerdness: I am writing in the NFL media center…

Pointless and prestige dropping in one line? Nice work, PK. I seriously don’t know who edits over at SI.com. Imagine a writer coming up to you and saying, “hey, boss, in my weekly NFL column you mind if I tell people about the coffee I encounter on the road?” and you okaying that idea. Pure insanity.

I really want to meet Bruce Springsteen this week. Is that too much to ask?

You know who I really want to meet? Peter King. All I would say is “really?” and shake my head at him.

f. Come to think of it, if I met him, what would I say?

A. Again

1. You don’t understand

a. How outlines work

g. I’d probably just say the same thing to him...

gaaaaaaah! *puts gun in mouth, pulls trigger*
