Is there now a trust gap with Peter King?

    Don't they have the same agent?

    Edit: They don't.

    Can you imagine how much fun the preps beat would be if you start using anonymous sources talking dirt about coaches, players etc. ?

    As I've written before, there were accounts during the summer and/or right after the Rice 2-game suspension where NFL players were saying exactly what happened with Rice, as later proven by the video. So the NFL suits who say they didn't see, they didn't know are all lying now. And King is doing a CYA and someone else's too. But, from numerous reader comments on an article I read today critical of the Ravens' press conference yesterday, the NFL fanbase seems tired of the whole issue so the NFL is probably happy.

    Some great lines:
    "I hope you’re happy, Internet. You broke a good man. I can picture Peter shaking his head before closing up his MacBook Air and ordering another Shock Top from the Acela attendant."

    And

    " Tell your barista."

    I know online comments can be terrible, and there are trolls all over the internet, and twitter in particular.

    But, I also think these guys need to hear what some of their critics have to say. In the past, all these guys ever heard was how great they were.

    Peter King is doing the same thing he's done for over 10 years. He thinks he's just being trolled when he gets made fun off for idiotic posts like this. The fact is, his posts were just as bad 10 years ago, he just didn't get as much negative feedback.
