MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 If the Bills steal a win in this game, will PK curl up in the fetal position ? Probably. With TD spooning him.
JoeF Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Dammit--don't question the latte sucking, daughter chronicling great one...everyone knows that ...JP = Angelica Pickles from Rugrats..
Hawerchuk10 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 There is one sure thing about Peter King. Whatever he says the opposite is always true
Lurker Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Show some balls and reveal what vets are saying they want Holcomb if he is continually going to write about it. The only candidates are Vincent, Clements, Spikes, and Fletcher. There's no way Evans would want Holcomb over Losman and Willis could probably care less. Who's left?... Villareal - he has enough to worry about keeping his own job. 761352[/snapback] Word. This team has virtually no vets left who would push such an agenda (other than KH, of course!). What a lazy piece of commentary.
zipster Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Or, it's Vincent. PK kisses his butt everytime he's asked about Troy. This seems to be the way it works: player, coach or GM either spills the beans or offers opinions to a member of the media. Reporter gushes about what a great guy/player the stool pigeon is during interviews. If it is Vincent (and, of course, I'm speculating), I'd just cut him if he's going to cause problems in the locker room. I think this is his last year with the team anyway. 761409[/snapback] Vincent should have been cut this weekend. He's slow and tackles like a traffic cone during a driver's ed. exam. I suspect that he's on the team only because he is a perfect NFLPA patsy for the owners.
DeLuca1967 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 You guys are funny. You believe that Peter King has nothing better to do then pine about the Bills starting QB? I guess having a drooling idiot like Larry Felser spoon feeding you what you want to hear makes you happy. Or warped your senses. Peter King is as solid a football writer as there is. Considering he has actually talks to players and coaches around the league. I would say it gives him a ton more credibility then sports fans around here are used to.
Lurker Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Peter King is as solid a football writer as there is. 761595[/snapback] Damning with faint praise, huh? You might have a great career in standup ahead of you if you work on your timing a bit...

Peter King is becoming as irrelevant in the internet age as his magazine SI HAS become (and that includes the swimsuit issue). About all these "experts" are good for anyway is reporting on stuff, and when they can't even get THAT right, you know their time has passed.

You might have a great career in standup ahead of you if you work on your timing a bit... 761607[/snapback] Since I do not have time to read all the football writers there are across the country I didn't feel comfortable calling him the best. There may guy in Utah or Idaho who is the best and I wouldn't know it. I will say he is better then anyone who writes or broadcasts here in WNY. At least since the Courrier Express went out of business. On a national level he is as good as any of the national guys. I also like listening to him on WGR. I don't always agree with his opinions but I do respect his NFL knowledge and how he presents himself.
DeLuca1967 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 so are you his son ???? 761612[/snapback] Couldn't think of anything to write

I would say it gives him a ton more credibility then sports fans around here are used to. 761595[/snapback] He's a glorified gossip columnist. His skill set is the same as the reporter whose job it is to find out what Brad Pitt's baby looks like. He makes phone calls and then simply regurgitates what he hears in his column. He's been commentating on the Bills based on their Sunday night primetime highlights for a least two years now. I don't remember the last time he said anything of worth on WGR. Usually, he talks the most about fluffy subjects like "the T.O. situation" or something even non-football fans can form an opinion about.

I don't always agree with his opinions but I do respect his NFL knowledge and how he presents himself. 761630[/snapback] He's not even the best writer at SI and it's not even close. There is virtually no depth to any of his writing as he creates it for people who have the attention span of a 5-year old. Let's have a top 10 list! Let’s attempt to be clever instead of informative! His train of thought when writing an article seems to be, "I know people can finish this article if I load it with a lot of fluff. Hmm, how about I rate training camp food!? People seem to like coffee, what if I talk about that too!? Weee, I love being a sports writer!” He gives the people what he thinks he thinks they want (wow, I guess I'm clever now too) and doesn't attempt to move beyond that. I guess you're his target audience and I'm glad you enjoy his work.
Catholic Guilt Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I know that my sister is in sports marketing(she just passed through here from Williamsport on her way back to Boston and I asked her about this very issue) - she knows that the buzz around the NHL is that Buffalo, Carolina and Edmonton being in the final four last year might be bad for NHL commercials/sponsorship pricing this year since none were big markets. She knows that the NHL is putting out media/marketing contracts already to counter this. WOW Great insight Peter! Last year's playoffs were some of the best Hockey I've seen in years. Small market or not this is a stupid statement. Look at your TV package NHL, not the market size!
Kiwi Bills fan Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Bingo! We have a winner. Someone please send PK a memo that EM was traded to the Texans. 761381[/snapback]

Come on I think Dave Anderson of the NY Times is 10 times the writer Peter King could ever hope to be. Locally I think Bob Dicesare is better than Peter King. You think PK is better than Lupicca or Bob Ryan or Wilboun or Kornheiser? He pedals mainly in rumour and inuendo. He may be one one of the better known writers but he is not close to being on par with the best. I'd put him in league with Luke Decock!
My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 If Vincent wasn't president of the NFLPA, he'd be in another uniform this season, and Milloy would be the starting SS. In a perfect world they could find somebody better than both of them (Ko Simpson is probably better than Vincent anyway, as I thought Rashad Baker was), but I think they're afraid of dumping/embarrassing such an integral member of the player's association. I could be completely full of sh--, but oh well...if Moulds' contract was too rich for their blood, they're rebuilding, and there's no reason to keep Vincent in that situation unless they're afraid of the backlash in terms of the reputation the organization has with potential free agents in upcoming years....
34-78-83 Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 All you need to do is ask yourself: What current Bills player in their right mind would possibly want KH to start for the team while factoring in his performance throughout practice, camp and the pre-season? Somebody (TD, Moulds ) is dishing out some seriously out-dated information.
SnakeOiler Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 looks like old PK didn't watch as much of the pre-season games as we did. He probably caught a highlight or two on ESPN or NFL Network. This is an old carry-over, he reported this same thing just as camp was getting started. He hasn't updated it since, and obviously things have changed. If there are any vets on the team that think holcomb should start, they are blind and stupid.

And Bob Diceasare is just another local hack. But I guess he must have said something nice about Marv for people on this board to talk him up.
