Peter King contiues to misrepresent SpyGate (Yet, he wants back in)

[Bella*chick]

This Assclown brings SG up every time he can. Its obvious he has an agenda.

It's ridiculous. It was three years ago! Apparently, it's relevant when we dominate the league? (I don't remember much mention of it last year, for example).

Peter King wants back in

Fat chance of that. He should have stayed in Jersey; they deserve each other.

Peter who?

I was thinking the exact same thing....

Re: Peter King wants back in

Screw him.
He chooses now to put Spygate in the title of his column and discusses it at length. He is working off the assumption that the Pats cheated and used that info to their advantage. Talk about dredging up the past. And, only now does he say, they got no advantage from it. Screw him again.
And all this on a day when the Jets coach deliberately tries to injure an opposing player and that barely merits a mention in the column, and King says, suspend him for a game. Wow, Peter, way to bring down the hammer.

Hes brought up SG repeatedly in the last 3-4 weeks, its a recurring theme with him. While on one he he HAS to praise the Pats because of how good their playing, but on the other he tries to deminish it by the use of Spy Gate

If he wants back in, he needs to shut it about Spygate. Get some new material, azzclown.

The farther we go the worse its going to get. Its the only way someone can bring the team down. Sort of ...I know they're playing great but remember they Cheated years ago.

Re: Peter King wants back in

so this season validates and proves to king that the videotaping effect is miniscule if not totally zero on the pats winning those SB ? 16-0 season didnt erase that doubt ?? come on

you can actually send him messages on twitter if you'd like @SI_PeterKing

"for secretly videotaping teams' defensive signals" ....in Peter King's media agenda driven world.

The Gameface: Sandlot boys
By Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports
September 14, 2007


Just before halftime of last Sunday's game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots at Giants Stadium, a slight, unassuming man in a dark blue Pats polo shirt and khaki shorts was stopped by NFL security officials as he tried to enter the visitors' locker room. Suddenly, a 26-year-old video assistant named Matt Estrella found himself in a scene that might have been lifted from "The Bourne Ultimatum."

Suspected of having filmed hand signals from Jets' coaches while standing on that team's sideline, Estrella was interrogated in the bowels of the stadium by Jets and NFL security officials. New Jersey state troopers and FBI agents were also summoned. Mike Tannenbaum, the Jets' general manager, left his seat during the second half and entered the fray, sternly lecturing Estrella about his apparent violation of NFL rules..........

Urlacher: 'our weather'

he could not be more wrong

Haha that's the one thing I thought was funny from that piece too. It's not like we're the Chargers or Dolphins. Two of the more memorable 'snow games' were played in New England.

 

[neuronet]

Good stuff, as an aside on "media mistakes", why is Spikes and Red Sox still top story on the forum here? Talk about screwd up priorities. We are in the middle of some of the best football we have ever played, and still Spikes and Sox? The former is old news now, and the latter is really hold news and written by someone who comes off as more of a Sox fan than pats fan.

Sorry, irrelevant, off soapbox, didn't want to start a new thread about this.

 

[deroc5050]

I actually think there are a lot of people in the media (prominent people) who just completely throw crap against the wall and makes me wonder how much they actually understand.

Gary Tanguay- "Phillip Rivers is the MVP.. Phillip Rivers has always been the MVP in my mind since the first game of the season" This quote came after the pats killed the lions I believe... A ******ed quote if you ask me.

Peter King-- could anyone be more overated? His winey voice just annoys the **** out of me...

Bob Ryan- After the pats were 6-1.. he was saying the pats were not a good team and that Brady was having a below average season... I know this was before the pats started playing there best football but there schedule was pretty tough to that point.. and there offence was being completely overhauled.. I love seeing these people eat crow and I don't forget when they say stupid stuff. Sometimes I just want to throw crap at the tv when I see some of these so called fraud experts explain to me what they think... I know more than most of these tools.

 

[TrueBeliever]

Don't know about you all, but this was my favorite part of the story:

Before I go on, understand I'm not attempting to minimize what the Patriots did wrong. Roger Goodell was right to take away a first-round pick and whack the Pats $750,000 for the misdeed.

What a jackhole. :bricks:

So the videotaping had no effect whatsoever, but they were still deserving of such an outrageous punishment? This guy needs to get a clue.

Re: Peter King wants back in

Personally I'd prefer that he not even bring it up, but at least he shatters a common false assertion (that after spygate everything went downhill).

What Peter King thinks and then speaks can't shatter anything. He has very good sources. Many find him entertaining. But his football reasoning and general thinking is mediocre (as is evidenced but others comments in this thread).

 

[Spiral]

Back in 2007, it was Peter King who was arguing how serious this was, and speculating on what its effects on previous seasons might have been.

Now he's arguing how little effect it had, based on a comparison of records before and after the incident. What a tool.

Peter, these fans aren't forgetting anytime soon, and if you think BB has a short memory for these kinds of things, give Tom Jackson a call.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

It's a little too late to eat crow on Spygate. To buy into it initially is pretty bad, but understandable given the biased misinformation you were being fed. But after the team goes 16-0 without this so called 'monumental competitive advantage' and 11-5 without TFB... and people still clinged on to it somehow. Now, it's flat out too late. Goes without saying, they were all wrong beyond reason.

 

[TrueBeliever]

Peter, these fans aren't forgetting anytime soon, and if you think BB has a short memory for these kinds of things, give Tom Jackson a call.

That reminds me - a while back someone sent me a clip of Jackson on one of the BSPN shows where he was talking about the Vikings (this was before Childress got canned), he said, "I can say it for sure this time - this team hates their coach!"

So apparently he hasn't forgotten either.

 

[WhiZa]

There's absolutely no reason to bring up :spygate:-gate when talking about this team. The only reason he does it is because he wants to taint what the Pats are trying to accomplish this year. Then he tries to make it all better by complementing the team. Peter please stick to ball-washing the Jets.

 

[PatsDeb]

I cannot stand Peter King, but like a car accident, I cannot look away from his columns. I am tempted to send him an angry e-mail telling him to shut the eff up about Spygate, but that will just give him ammo to highlight it again in his Tuesday morning mailbag. GRRR.

In '07 I felt King was one of those - more so than others - that really grabbed on to the SG story and would absolutely not let it go. Others in the media were beating the same dead horse, but for other reasons. Gregg Easterbrook had his connections with Specter and Comcast - he had been writing about antitrust and the Sunday Ticket for some time previously - and he used the SG story to further that agenda. Gary Myers wrote incessantly about it to pander to his audience of Jet fans. Most everyone could care less about the facts; they were just looking to sell more papers, increase ratings, and boost their profits.

Many wrote about cheating and an unfair advantage, but King was the only one that seemed to sincerely be morally bothered by the incident. I think to him he equated it with baseball players using steroids and in his eyes ruining a quaint game. The issue I have with King both then and now is that he has never appeared to have done even the slightest bit of research into the practices of filming and of stealing signals. His usage of the phrase 'secretly videotaping' shows how little he still knows even now, while at the same time recklessly perpetuating a myth about the event. That's just shoddy journalism.

With such a poor effort to get his facts right, it's no wonder that King does not understand SG. For the Patriots to continue to be successful, it must be very bothersome for someone like King because it shatters his incorrect belief in what actually happened, and the effects that the filming had on winning.
