Peter King makes me want to gouge my eyes out...

(rant mode on)

Can he really be this stupid?!?! Three gems from today's column (and by 'gems' I mean 'turds':

1. Regarding the Raven's practice violation, he refers to Baltimore as the 'by-the-book' Ravens. (throwing up in my mouth a little) Moreover, he says the Ravens shouldn't lose one of their quote "PRECIOUS MIDDLE ROUND" draft picks... even though THEY WERE CAUGHT... WITH PROOF. Hmm... not caught doing anything... with NO proof... that cost a 1st and a 4th for one team. But maybe Baltimore's pick are just more 'precious'.

2. Native Americans by 90%-9% in a recent poll said they were not bothered by the Redskins team name. 90-9!!!! King's response: "What about the people who ARE bothered?" <eyes rolling> By that logic, we would never allow anything in this country, since some moron will always be against it.

Oh, and guess what... he's one of those precious snowflakes who IS bothered about it, and will bloviate about it soon. Can't effing wait.

3. The SI poll of the NFL's alltime most hated players... Peter is upset by the inclusion of ... wait for it... that all time NFL model citizen... Odell Beckham Jr. Did King not watch the Panthers game and see the cheapshotting that guy did when he was being shut down for the first three quarters? This to King, makes the article worthless. Odd that King makes no mention of the #5 on that list... the GOAT. Nothing to see THERE.

Either King is an effing idiot... or... he has a brilliantly Machiavellian sense of exactly which buttons to push to enrage his readers.

I choose A.

For the most part? White people living in upper middle class neighborhoods posting anonymously behind their white picket fences apparently care more about it than Native Americans actually do. You know... the people that actually have an excuse to be offended by the name? The people who are offended are the same people who, odds are, have very little (if any) actual friends outside of their own race so they feel the need to overcompensate. I call them the C.O.C. (Constantly Offended Crowd). This crowd knows no race, sexuality, height, weight, religious belief, or political affiliation. They are simply miserable people who wake up every day (probably alone or next to a whale of a partner) offended by something in the world that, in the big picture, is usually extremely trivial. As time goes on, the rest of us will continue to learn to pay them no mind.

Well, OBVIOUSLY I don't have the self-discipline to do that. LOL

You want a poll? I took one: 93% of the people I asked said they won't waste their time addressing this rent-a-poll. 7% are wondering if you have a clue.

Peter's king of crap, and nothing more.

Sometimes I read his stuff. It's pretty light reading but also somewhat entertaining.

1. It's now become my favorite NFL pastime to see how the league can spin and justify its actions on how they deal with things. There is a huge double standard in how "justice" is meted out and rather than get annoyed by it like I used to, now I just laugh. It is pretty funny to see one of the dirtiest and most classless orgs in the league (Ravens) get referred to as "by the book".

2. Don't care about the Redskins name. Change it, don't change it. I don't care. I'm not offended by the name, and I'm not offended by the thought of the name getting changed.

3. Most hated player, depends on who you ask. For me it was always Gomer, but the thought of anyone disliking him would probably make Peter's head explode.

It's not the name "Redskins" that is offensive, it's pairing it with "Washington."

have at it.......

Shouldn't indian people (from india) be complaining about the cleveland indians? How about the chicago blackhawks? No one is telling those franchises to change their name. Why pick on just the redskins? Leave it alone.

given this demographic, half of them should be offended by any team named "Cougars"

normally when i don't like someone's writing, I don't give them views.

Like peter king, I read his columns, and i was just like "wow, this dude is pretty ****ing ****ty as a writer" and so i don't read his columns anymore.

I wonder how many people reading this know that the previous names of those 2 teams were

01 ~ The Boston RedSkins
02 ~ The Boston Braves

I recall wrestler Chief Jay Strongbow ....... not good today?

How about Indian Head Resort up in NH? time for a change? I mean a head by itself is already beyond disturbing.....why does it have to be an indian head?

I have no stake in this but you ought to read a little more closely if you're going to rip somebody. The by-the-book thing is a little weird granted, but King does not in any way suggest the Ravens shouldn't be docked a draft pick. He says, "I'd be surprised" if they lose a draft pick, not even close to what you imply. And the term "precious" is clearly meant to refer to all mid-round draft picks, not just the Raven's.

Brady was railroaded, no doubt, but that doesn't mean every other team ought to be treated as unfairly.

And speaking of fair - you fail to mention that King, out of what could be thousands of apropos choices, chooses to run a letter to the 2nd Court of Appeals, written by a private citizen no less, in his Quotes Of The Week; you'll like it - “Isn’t this still the United States of America, where a person is innocent till proven guilty? Tom Brady was never proven guilty. Don’t you have anything more important to do?”

Doesn't seem like the work of a moron or Pats hater as you make him out to be. Pay a little more attention and you'll not have to use as much toothpaste after puking in your mouth so often.

By the way: If you've been rooting for the best Boston BaseBall Team since 1876, you've celebrated 17 World Championships!! We'll catch the KnickerBocker Nine yet!!

I would just shorten it up and call him Peter King O Crap...'cause that's all he is.

Media whores don't deserve the attention they crave. King, Stephen A. (hole), Rome, Felger, etc

Ian….can you install an "A-hole" filter to eliminate the temptation of clicking on certified *&%$#*s

I remember Peter, when he was a concise writer who did an excellent job of covering the NFL...

Now he has morphed into a person who believes more is better even it is all conjecture or lies...
