I think it's so cool how King lives in Boston but can't get any access at Gillette. :rocker:
Pepe is a pompous blowhard whose columns are nothing more than an exercise in namedropping. Just knowing the best coach in the NFL right now and one of the all-time greats has no time and no tolerance that mediot is so so sweet.
Btw how funny is Paaaaayton's paranoia?? That is hilarious!
maybe manning doesn't like talking in the lockerroom at foxboro because he knows about the visitor's lockerroom in indy.

brady is actually pretty close with king.
Good point, Satan would know.maybe manning doesn't like talking in the lockerroom at foxboro because he knows about the visitor's lockerroom in indy.
King is a punk, tweeting he "guesses" it was about his Spygate 'reporting'. King didn't report Spygate, he made it a weekly part of his column pretty much the entire season in between his Starbucks love and his daughter's field hockey results.
I have reliable sources that tell me that Manning and Tom Moore never step into the conconcourse to discuss strategy while at Lucas Oil Stadium. They are too worried that the microphones that pick up and magnify the crowd noise that Polian has pumped into the stadium might pick up their conversation and broadcast it for everyone to hear.
I think I have to hand it to Deion Sanders for his magnanimous gesture Wednesday on our Sirius NFL Radio show. Sanders and I hadn't spoken in 10 years. We used to be tight; he gave me the pseudonym he used for all hotel stays, so when I'd need to talk to him on the road, I always had the password to get to him.
But he was broken player when he signed a $56-million contract with the Redskins in 2000. The Cowboys, his employers in 1999, wouldn't have passed him on their physical in 2000, and thus cut him. The Redskins surely didn't do all their due diligence in investigating Sanders' health (he had major turf toe problems that inhibited his great cover ability), and from the start of the season, he was a shell of himself.
The Detroit Lions, in the second game of the season, went after Sanders early and often, which would have been unheard of when Prime was in his Prime. And so early in that season I wrote the Redskins had been robbed by Sanders, and Dan Snyder had made a dumb signing. The dumb signing was right; the fact that Sanders had pilfered the money was a stretch, because clearly it takes two to tango, and the blame should have been on Washington for a dumb signing.
Anyway, Sanders held a grudge over what I said; when I tried to interview him that season, team PR man Doug Green asked him to talk to me, and Deion, according to Green, said, "Tell Peter, God bless him, but I'm never going to speak to him again.'' And that was that until he was a guest on the Sirius show the other morning. At the end of the conversation, Sanders said to me: "Peter, I miss you. We had a great relationship early on, you did something I thought was offensive, but it wasn't bad, because you just gave your honest opinion when you thought I was slipping, and I took it personal. I apologize. You're a good man, Peter. You're a good man. You really are.''
Why, thank you, Deion. No apology necessary. The thing that's hard about this job sometimes is that when you call out people you've had good relationships with, you know it's going to either ruin those relationships or change them forever. It's happened with Sanders, Bruce Smith, Bill Belichick, and, to some degree, with Brett Favre over the years. Reporters have to call 'em as we see em, and sometimes the truth as we see it hurts. That's the business we're in.
Peter King is the worst football writer out there. He knows practically nothing about football, he's just a gossip columnist. As others have pointed out he endlessly drops names of who he "just got off the phone with."
He is useless gossip and BB treats him as such.
