Is this the No Fun League or the No Fool League - he did same thing against us and then blamed the player who pointed it out to the referee.

 

 


The Marquette King Show may be going dark for a bit. Or maybe just toned down a tad.
The Oakland Raiders’ effervescent punter, who celebrates like a receiver (and who was recruited in college as a WR) whenever he sticks a punt or pins an opponent’s back to the end zone, had his comeuppance in Kansas City.
Not only did he have an off night, averaging a net of just 31.1 yards, surrendering a 78-yard punt return for a touchdown to Tyreek Hill and mishandling a snap on a field-goal attempt, King also picked up his second personal-foul penalty in as many games.
“He can’t have another penalty; cannot have another penalty,” Del Rio said, referring to the unsportsmanlike flags. “I’ve allowed him to have his freedom. I want him to express himself. I think that’s when he’s at his best.
“[but] we can’t have routine 15-yard penalties out of our punter. We’ve got two in a row, two weeks in a row, and that’s got to come to a stop.”

 

But they cannot afford to cut him:

Don't forget about Fake News, Russian Hackers, and those kids with their pesky dog!

Lots of rumors about him and Mrs Kanye West. Yeah I follow Terez Owens on twitter, so what?

I won't judge you by that.

 

 

Who?

People are talking about punters because of him. The league just needs to embrace being daft again.

 

Marquette should be careful because Del Rio is on his case now. Weeks after the HC basically said "I don't give a **** we got flagged 23 times" :D

He's a little punk and I hope he gets his bell rung. The guy hardly plays football. He'll learn.

 

He's the Richard Sherman of punters. Not a top 5 at his position. Just an !@#$ and a good self marketer.

 

Edit and if he would have done that flag thing to me or against me the next punt I would have intentionally knocked the **** out of him... not illegally. I'd wait until the kick is off then straight pancake his ass
