We're not the only ones that dont like Peter King....

This is part of the problem with sports journalism; articles about reporters. You wonder why personalities like Peter King are so omnipresent? Because their reporting gets as much attention as what they report.

 

There's too damn much opinion in sports journalism, which logically leads to differences in opinions, which leads to poo-flinging articles between reporters, which leads to people paying attention to reporters, which leads to reporters not being reporters anymore, and becoming "personalities," amongst which Peter King is one of the most well-known influential.

 

You want to defang these idiots? Stop engaging them. You don't leave flaming comments at the politics beat reporter at the Boston Globe for his opinions on Filibuster reform. So stop retweeting him, stop writing articles about him, stop flaming him in the comments section. He's just a sports fan with an opinion like everyone else at this point, and you should regard him as such and give him as much attention as you give a message board troll everywhere else.

His opinion may be as educated as a common sports fan but his power in the industry can keep people out of the MVP race and off the HOF ballot. This is the only reason the media matters to me. They are the gate keepers to Cam's legacy.

The Huddle's psyche is so weak.  I get it, it was a bad, uneducated comment.  But, generally speaking, mass media reader thrive off of drama; just look at "reality" tv nowadays.  That said, King is doing what he can to get the most hits.  No such thing as bad publicity, as it were.  You guys overreacting gives exactly what he wants.

 

Do we have to have this threads after every game?

I disagree, my man, I think he's doing it because he cant admit he's wrong because ya know. . . he's the great Peter King

 

 

All you have left when the internet punches you in mouf and takes your viewers is credibility. That will bring people back. Being a dick will just bring people back to laugh at you as you bury your career.

Peter King cares about one thing....and it is not that he can't admit he is wrong.

 

It is about hits and money.  And you are providing him with both by linking to his article.

Did Peter King slam Matt Stafford after he actually did throw the Lions season away?

 

Yeah this is the thing. The biggest failure story yesterday was Matt Stafford with a talented offense and defense losing to the Giants at home. But not to King.

 

Over the past several years Sam Bradford has been praised or overlooked in St. Louis. He's a number 1 overall pick of a franchise that has accomplished nothing in his tenure. But you don't see King stories about Bradford falling short of expectations.

 

We drafted Cam no.1 but it wasn't to beat Hall of Fame QBs in his third season. You never go up against a Brees or Manning or Brady and put those expectations on a third year guy. Yeah you want to win but a loss doesn't label someone a bust. I'm just glad to see the internet recognizes PK for what he is.

For some reason Peter King is one of the most highly respected sports writers ever. So when he spews absolute BS agenda-driven garbage directed at our QB he deserves to be called out.

If it was some obvious troll like Schien, then yeah all they care about are hits. But Peter King is supposed to be above that.

@SI_PeterKing: RT @TheFenderLaws: Thoughts on Domenik Hixon going to Carolina? ... One of the most meaningless transactions of the offseason.

@SI_PeterKing: Cam Newton should be thrown out of the game for touching the ref. It's a rule.
