I love the access he gets. I mean, c'mon, not many people can get Peyton on the phone for an exclusive 90 minutes after the final gun. He certainly is plugged in.
However, he can be maddening as an apologist for the league. He also is a little pretentious with his non-football observations. A week Haiku? "Mr. Starwood Preferred Travel Member?" Whatever Pete. Stick to giving me inside info.
That being said, his is the first thing I read on Monday mornings.
