That all of Peter King's article recently have pictures of him included? They're usually horribly contrived 'candid' shots of him typing on his laptop, but I'm pretty sure that the only reason he's including them is because he's losing weight and wants everyone to see him. I for one would rather just read his articles and not be sujected to his big goofy mug smiling back at me or his oafish form hunched over a laptop at a grocery store.

I don't read Peter King drivel so no, I haven't notice that.  My condolences.

So since none of the big name football writers seem to be deemed worthy by the CF crowd, who exactly DO you guys read when you need a football fix? It seems that every writer invokes lightning from the eyes and smoke from the ears whenever they're brought up, so do you all just not read anything that's out there, lean back and feel satisfied with yourselves for not succumbing to the evils of sports journalism? I mean, these dudes are basically just professional fans, and yes most of it is drivel, but do you all just deprive yourselves of all sports feature writing? I can't do it. I need that nonsense to get me through the slow days. Which are most.

I enjoy reading Reuben Frank (he doesn't blow smoke and he doesn't create his own form of news) and Bill Lyon.

We should send King cheeseburgers and candy to get rid of the pictures.

Now that's the kind of constructive response I was looking for!

Do you really need to come here and read to figure out what PG will think of the sportswriters? It's pretty much something like :puke :fire :chair in virtually every case.

I like Pat Kirwan and the Teusday Morning Quarterback, whatshisname fancypants.

Agreed. Those two have actual insights and can back up their assertions with stats.

Well if I included that one I would have had to take the "virtually" out.

I don't like King, but I normally read MMQB.  I like Kirwan as well, and I also can tolerate most of Lenny P's stuff at ESPN.  I loathe Prisco though.
