Heh.

Twitter has not been too kind to Peter King. He often puts his foot in his mouth and fans enjoy being able to push it further down his throat.

 

[The Big Ragu]

That was awesome.

 

[MileHigh]

ZING!

Funny stuff.

This. I would say his credibility has taken a shot since he started interacting on Twitter.

What is Jonathan Vilma's relation to the other players he mentioned? Other than being teammates.

I am sorry, but I don't see what King did wrong here. He is noting that the Saints are signing as many linebackers as they can, and it's a pretty good guess that they're doing it because they're planning on Vilma being suspended. I would expect that dumbass Saints fans (of which there are many, and I imagine someone called "swamp trash" is one) would take Vilma's side. But Vilma really didn't do anything to answer what King was saying.

But we'll revisit it when the suspensions come down and Vilma either is or isn't on the list.

They're all free agent linebackers signed by the Saints in the past few weeks.

And what's wrong is that King is being his usual douchy self by engaging in a public pissing match with a player. It's one thing for a top NFL writer to be critical of the Saints, it's quite another for that writer to engage in childish tongue-wagging toward a player in a public social media.

 

[LongTimeListener]

Don't see it. "Get the message, Jonathan Vilma" is pretty accurate.

People love to hate Peter King, I get that, but Vilma's just playing to his choir of chuckleheads who don't think he did anything wrong.

So PK is being scolded for recklessness by a guy who rewarded teammates for hurting people. OK then. (If that's really Vilma's Twitter and not just some fanboi running it)

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

he should have said:

@PeterKing Sorry, can't hear you. Plowing the ever-holy hell out of some chick named Mary Beth.

It's really him. It's got the "verified" checkmark.

Fantastic reference.

Only would have been made better with additional references to lattes, softball and yogurt raisins.

that dumbass Saints fans (of which there are many, and I imagine someone called "swamp trash" is one)

Well, **** you too, **** for brains.

His "take" may eventually prove to have been accurate, but that's not the point. What Peter King did wrong was act like a jackass and personally attack someone on a public forum for no good reason.

Kind of like what you just did. But hey, I'm just a dumbass Saints fan so I guess I must have deserved it. Pfft.

 

[Care Bear]

I'll give you $50 if you get LTL to nuke.

I am not sure what exactly this means, but I'm pretty sure it isn't going to happen.

He didn't personally attack anyone. He pointed out that Jonathan Vilma won't be playing for the Saints anytime soon, a notion that Vilma didn't seem to appreciate.

He made it personal. I think that's obvious.

So you think PK's twitter post was fully appropriate, given his standing and the subject matter?

C'mon, I didn't go to some fancy journalism school, but even I (a purported "dumbass") know better than that.

He said "Get the message, Jonathan Vilma?" There is nothing wrong with that.
