Our pal PK gave the commencement address at his alma mater - Ohio U. JFK speech at American U it's not:

He's GOT to be in on the joke by now, right?

I mean, POSTING your graduation speech? isn't that the height of egoism?

For the past 19 years, I've written about the NFL for Sports Illustrated, the largest sports magazine in the world. For the last 11, I've written a column for SI.com, Monday Morning Quarterback, that 2 million people click on, usually when they want to play hooky from work or school. I talk to millions Sunday nights during the fall on NBC.


I'm sorry, but if I'm in the crowd, listening to this as a grad, I start yelling "IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED, THIS IS OUR DAY!"

# 2 is a gem in his 10 Things I think for 2008 OU Grads:

2. I think entitlement lasts about a week out in the world. After that, no one cares who you are. They care what you can do.

 

[BYH]

He's getting scooped ON HIS OWN SPEECH!!!!

I got to know Brett Favre, the Packers quarterback who just retired...

I graduated with a 3.3 grade-point, surviving more than flourishing academically.

Pete "struggled" graduating with honors - wonder what the kids sitting there with the 2.5 's thought.

Obviously PK was impressed by his 3.3 or he would not have mentioned it. Surprised that he did not add his current W-2 income for good measure.

 

[BYH]

Can you imagine the rough draft of that speech?

Can you imagine the rough draft of that speech?

"I come from humble roots. My father was an iron worker."

"Peter I'm not sure 3,900 kids are interested in hearing about your daughter, yogurt pretzels and how you made it to Pizza Hut in time for the lunch buffet yesterday."

I never paid much attention to PK.

Read a few of his Monday Morning shticks but quite honestly, thought the venom directed at him from SportsJournalists.com was motivated by pure jealousy.

After reading his latest piece, I've changed my mind: the guy is an attention ***** dickhead.

Your secret decoder ring is in the mail.

You should send that to the SI mailbag and add "cancel my subscription"

He sure knows a lot of famous and powerful people...thanks for letting us know.

This speech really marks Peter King's coming out party as a world class blow hard.

 

[slappy4428]

"My daughter Mary Beth came with me today for this honor...and as i look out over this crowd -- hey, I don't see her... Oh, there she is. Coming from behind the bleachers...."

 

[slappy4428]

"Finally: I think I'm in danger of boring a lot of fathers out there right now, and maybe some mothers too."

I know this because I can hear the faint cries of "SHUT THE **** UP"

 

[BYH]

"My daughter Mary Beth came with me today for this honor...and as i look out over this crowd -- hey, I don't see her... Oh, there she is. Coming from behind the bleachers...."

"Oh there she is. Bobbing her head up and down, up and down, up and down. And look at the guy next to her, so enraptured by my speech, he can hardly contain his joy!"

 

[Boom_70]

"My daughter Mary Beth came with me today for this honor...and as i look out over this crowd -- hey, I don't see her... Oh, there she is. Coming from behind the bleachers...."

...With foam on her lips from an extra foam mocha latte.
