I'm not aiming to start a flame session but I must note that this kind of comment is just plain dopey.
1) How do you know for a fact that's King motivation?
2) His peers don't pay the freight so what good would impressing them do?
3) I can believe it - he's great on WEEI- well informed, thoughtful, and he was a Pats lover royale before Spygate. Who can blame him for a being a bit disappointed?
4) Why the heck would you want writers that only pump pro-Pats stuff - nobody's perfect, Sparky, hate to burst your bubble.
Now, I do feel like King went overboard during the Spygate frenzy and that pissed me off. But if getting pissed with someone always means that we have "no respect" for them then I don't know many people who'd have anyone at all they were still speaking with.
King, I believe, genuinely loves the game of football and felt slighted by BB's methods. I wish King had used more perspective but he screwed up, that hardly means he's corrupt.
Maybe you have noticed that every single nation writer has skewered here regarding Spygate - you think that they really have the ruination of the Pats in mind? Don't forget we are one of the biggest football markets in the US, it wouldn't make much sense for them to just blow us off.
