Peter King gets pwned on Twitter

    This is ridiculous. King, for all his faults, posted a perfectly reasonable observation that Vilma didn't like. Not sure how this is a story.

    Actually, nowhere in this thread have you explained why he's been an embarrassment for the last ten years. All you do is come across as a hurt fanboy.

    OK, then, have it your way. If you want to paint me as a "hurt fanboy" then I guess that's your right. I got too many real things going on in life to get in some dumb argument over the internet that doesn't amount to a hill of beans. :)

    Two pages of evidence would indicate otherwise.

    You don't need "personally" in front of the "I" - the I kind of gives away the "personally" part. I think he sucks is all you need.
    Since you are in the profession, I figured you'd appreciate the tip. Same thing with "my personal opinion" - who else would it be if not you?

    PK gets a lot of grief. This is unwarranted. That's what I personally think myself.

    Pretty condescending post......man you people sure get your panties in a wad over nothing. It's not like I was trying to start anything, but so be it. Think what you must.
     
  8. Two-page thread for this?

    I saw it on my Twitter feed and laughed, then sort of said "YUP!" in my head. I'm a Saints fan. I would have tweeted the same thing if I were King. Sportswriters tweet stuff like this all the time. King's right, and he made a very valid point.

    Thread title should be changed to reflect who got pwned and that it was on SJ, not Twitter.

    There. I've accomplished my years-long goal of using the word "pwned" in a sentence. Now I can talk to my 9-year-old! The 12-year-old has moved on from it though.

    I to would agree that it is unwarranted criticism this time, but do wonder if Vilma turned King down for a story. Usually he is favorable to those he wants to write about, although they are mostly QB's

    Eh, I think he's mostly butt-hurt because he was the player pictured on SI's cover with the bounty story.

    Being from "The U" I would have thought that he would have been proud of that image.

    Really pretty amazing how the game has changed. Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke would have been looked down upon in today's NFL.

    Oh how the times have changed.
