Football Season Is A Month Away, But Making Fun Of Peter King Season Is Here To Stay!


Some fun with Peter King on a Monday afternoon. Today, King made the following comment about HBO’s “Hard Knocks” show:

"My one quibble with these shows: They're so fast-paced and move from one drama to the next and one scene to the next, that you don't really
get the feel of what camp is truly like. Very often, camp is boring,
tedious and full of drills you can't watch for very long or you'll go
crazy. If the show is to be the real story of training camp, it must
point out -- not just in flashes but in minutes -- what really happens
at camp, which is often extraordinarily humdrum."


Agreed. I, too, would find the show far more fascinating if it were more boring. Now you now why King's MMQB column is 56,000 words long. We at KSK found King’s logic irresistible. From it, we drew the following conclusions:

-King doesn't understand why the WSOP doesn't show the hands where everybody folds

-King watched Major League last night, and wished they'd show how well Willie Mays Hayes worked the count

-King doesn't understand why he can't watch every single American Idol audition

-He's disappointed Shark Week has so much killing when, in fact, most of the time sharks are just swimming around

-He’s a huge fan of Kevin Costner films

-He will only attend a wedding if it is Greek Orthodox

-He wishes he could read ALL the mail Bill Simmons gets in his mailbag

-King wishes pornography had more foreplay. Women just don't get automatically wet, you know

-King wants to know why his Lawrence of Arabia Director’s Cut DVD skimped on the deleted scenes

-King wishes "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" consisted of one uninterrputed take

-King thinks "To Catch a Predator" doesn't depict chat rooms accurately, should show footage of benign exchanges

-King wishes that the producers of The Office would shift the focus from the employees to the hard facts about paper sales

-King wishes Tony Romo would cuddle more

-When Peter King bought tickets to "28 Days Later" he was was stunned and disappointed to learn he didn't have to wait four weeks to see the movie

-King wishes Yes had produced more B-side compilations

Clearly, this is why King enjoys going to Starbucks so much. Yours in the comments.

You know... there was another group of people who thought that it was just fine to tell people what to do and what to think. Thats right... they were the Nazis.

Chris(BessMervinGirlDetective) said...

PK'S Journal Entry 2722 -

Instead of shows like the Shield and the Wire which are so fast paced I think they need to slow it down a bit. How about a hour of showing us what it really takes to get a search warrant. All the paper work, petition to the judge, more paper work, etc. PK your a genius... chokes on a pork rhine.


BDD - did you see Mr. Brooks? One of the better movies I have seen this yr.

Anonymous said...

"NORM!"

Trader Rick said...

While taking Calc I, PK often demanded that the professor give a less 'hand-wavy' proof of the theorem being introduced.

Ken Dynamo said...

king is all for indulging in the occasional potty humor, but has no idea what was up with that south park where the aliens were going to hekma bars and sucking off each other jagons. i mean shit, what was that about.

Shoopmonster said...

The bane of Peter King's existence is the abridged dictionary. He also wishes for a historical origin for every word.

Otto Man said...

"NORM!"

CD, I was just coming here to post that myself.

Well played, you magnificent bastard.

gone said...

King has read War and Peace, the Bourne novels, all of the Dune series, and all of the support books of LOTR at least once every year for the past 30 years.

And considers it as light reading.

eirishis said...

Peter King wishes smut novels included fewer sex scenes, and more scenes of lonely men jacking off in hotel rooms. After all, that's closer to reality. His reality, anyway.

Ken Dynamo said...

king would prefer is DragonForce were to express the sweeping majesty of thier fantasy epic lyrics by slowing it down just for one god damn minute.

K-Rock said...

hopefully this hasn't been used yet

King wishes KSK commenter John S would post more often because he finds his thoughts to be intriguing and wished he would contribute more

Peter King calls Dell customer service even when his computer isn't broken. He just loves him some hold music.

Also, I stood up in a Greek wedding 2 weeks ago. Brutal.

Ken Dynamo said...

king thinks you get a better experience playing Dance Dance Revolution with a controller than the dance pad.

Dave said...

Peter King is happy that the Jews were in the Desert for 40 years instead of 40 days before finding "the promised land"

Anonymous said...

Peter King wants a 600 minute egg.

Slash said...

King also really enjoys:

* Renewing his license at the DMV
* Waiting behind people at the supermarket checkout who have 50 coupons, yap on their cell phone and pay with a check
* Sitting in rush hour traffic
* The 15 minutes of commercials and trailers the theaters show before every movie
* Waiting for movie files to load on his computer, especially the ones where half the elapsed time is a commercial that you have to watch first before the shit you actually wanted to see starts playing
* The singing of the national anthem at sporting events, especially if the singer tries to modernize it with rap, scatting or Christina Aguilera-type vocalizing of every other note

Free Pacman said...

Enjoys reading the book instead of watching the movie.

Unknown said...

Peter King is dying to see the 24 episode where Jack Bauer goes through the drive thru at McDonalds then takes a dump.

Man, Joe Piscopo really let himself go.

Group 5 said...

PK thinks that it's a tragedy that the British have chosen to follow such fast paced sports as cricket. All the nonstop action makes his head spin.

King wishes that they showed the production assistants setting up the survival scenarios in Man vs Wild and the cleanup afterward. Remember, carry in, carry out...

Unknown said...

King wishes that Joe Morgan would tell more minor league antecdotes

Sideburn said...

King thought The English Patient was too brief, and shouldn't have been told in Flashbacks, but in chronological order instead. Flashbacks are confusing.

Sideburn said...

OMG! I just heard PK's voice for the 1st time on a Jim Rome podcast, I'm about as blown away as when I heard Bill Simmons for the 1st time. Terrible!

gaptoothedgrind said...

King wishes 'Big Trouble In Little China' focused more on the subtle rift between western and eastern cultures and less on Wang Chi's airial swordfighting...

Bloof said...

King hold the opinion that the Star Wars series would have been much more entertaining if it was comprised entirely of Yoda in his hut, cooking stew and sleeping.
