I just read Peter King's column on tonight's game...

Honestly... does anyone use more words... to provide less information?

Did he mention what beer and coffee he'd drank since Monday? That's usually my favorite part.

It'll get worse as he ages. He'll close his column with a haiku about stool softeners.

Any field hockey news we should be aware of?

Nothing wrong with that piece...

'Pats fans and the team are happy to be talking about football, Brady's focused on the team and winning football games, two good teams with SB aspirations kick off the season. I won't comment on the game itself because then I'd have to show my ignorance of real football analysis. King, out'

Ted Wells?

"It's a piece about nothing. NOTHING!!!! Did you see someone wearing a Brady T-shirt at Fenway last night? You did? There's a piece. That's a piece!"

Everyone is expecting a 2007 performance--the Patriots clobbering the Steelers.

Yet here we are with the OL and the receiver core questionable, and a D-Backfield going against a seriously potent passing attack.

Plus, outside of 2007 and 2012, the Patriots really always start slow. Even in the earlier SB years, they clawed to nip the Colts. The Bills were a McKelvin brainfart away from handing them a big loss.

Face it: the Patriots are closer to a .600 team in September than they are a .800 team (as they are the rest of the season).

I can't see why the Patriots are so highly favored. That Steelers D is taking a lot of heat for sucking. Do those guys have any pride?

King writes to appeal to the masses, not the hardcore fan... so for many of us this is a "puff piece"...

Where is the Peter Gammons of football??.. A writer who can provide lots of facts and information.

Belichick probably worth an honorable mention.

I've been reading Peter King's column for years and I haven't read anything.

Starting early I see.
