Has anybody else stopped reading MMQB since Peter King left?

[oldrover]

The weird part is, King could occasionally annoy the crap out of me when he was there. But I ALWAYS read his columns. In fact, Mondays, I would obsessively refresh the SI link if it wasn't up by 8am or so.

It's not just due to the offseason... I would always be disappointed when the guest columnists appeared. King just had developed a knack for that column, I guess. At least, for me anyway.

And now... Albert Breer... hmmm... Albert Breer...

 

[chasa]

I stopped reading when he was still writing.

He went down hill really fast, as he started being less about football being the focus and more about "I'm celebrity peter king, and here are my opinions about everything"

 

[Kontradiction]

I wasn’t reading it before he left.

 

[Clonamery]

Peter King left? Did they close the local Starbucks?

 

[WinstonSmith]

Peter King once was a must read for me but his narcissism and the proliferation of alternative quality NFL coverage relegated MMQB to the occasional read. I have/will never read Breer's MMQB.

 

[Big Bucks]

Where did he go?

 

[tasmlab]

I still read but can't judge the quality until there's actual football games to read about.

The best NFL monday articles in the world are Patsfanken's write ups IMO. No hyperbole.

 

[Koma]

Where did he go?

King will be writing for NBCSports starting in July.

You stole my answer!

 

[RobertWeathers]

Haven't read him in years and will continue not to.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

For football, (for me) Peter King seems to be about as relevant as dust bunnies are to moving your sofa.

 

[lancerman]

Peeps around these parts are still mad at him over deflategate

 

[scout]

Didn't know he left.....In the 70's, always liked to read the Globe sports articles. A lot of tidbits.

He does NOT possess Cat like quickness

I stopped reading when he started talking about beer, coffee, and his personal politics, as if anyone cares what a sportswriters politics are.

Sportswriters are like actors,musicians and other artists. They should just concentrate on their craft, and leave their opinions at home.

King started to act like that irritating professor who was always condescending and patronizing towards his readers.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

I read his stuff that was shared on the forum, but never went looking for it.

I love the MMQB...it's a part of my Monday ritual....

Yup, I never read anything else on SI.com.

Will be reading MMQB when it pops up on NBC.com...am sure PFT will link to it.

I love football season:

MON: MMQB and MNF
TUES: FFL waiver request day.
WED: FFL waiver process day and FCFS additions.
THURS: TNF
FRI: Get a life.
SAT: Fear of missing out activities (e.g. grocery shopping, yard work, errands, and making sure the wifey is happy)
SUN: 10AM, 1PM, and 5:20PM PST games/red zone. Then at night...the walking dead!

Rinse n' repeat!
