Ok, his MMQB has a whole article on Spygate basically saying that Belichick's reputation is tarnished for ever and we won't even make the playoffs before the season starts. But there are two things in his "Ten thing I think I think" section that just blew me away with his stupidity:
Sure along as it benefits his Eagles or Comcast, he will be a good watchdog. The second the Eagles get caught cheating, Arlen won't be picking up his phone.
The guy set sports reporting back decades by reporting a rumor as fact and gets burned. He is blasted by everyone in the country and fears a lawsuit from the Pats. And King thinks it is heroic what he did? Really?!?
Instead of getting suspended, he issues an apology that didn't even include an actual apology until he added an adendum after getting blasted even more.
I look at Tomase's apology as saving his arse. I am disapointed in King for giving Tomase any credit since what he did originally is the equivalent of cheating since he wrote a damaging story without any real facts. As a journalist, King should be outraged at Tomase.
I have lost all respect for Peter King.
3. I think, by the way, I don't fault Specter for yelling about wanting to keep football pure. There's never anything wrong with a good watchdog, particularly a 78-year-old one fighting cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. And though I think he's barking up the wrong tree about football possibly not being on the level, it's good that the NFL knows there's somebody in Washington looking at the league with a jaundiced eye. Keeps 'em honest.

9. I think I give credit to John Tomase for standing up and admitting a grievous error, the misreporting of the story on the videotaping of the Rams' practice before the Super Bowl six years ago. When you write the story of your life, and it's wrong, you've got to stand up and throw yourself on the mercy of the press and the public.
