Peter King Feedback

egad, how does this guy keep his job? i learned nothing from his article on 10 things he'd change if he could be commissioner. i received no entertainment from reading it. it was literally a waste of my time... i wish i could bill him for it.

1.Expand the regular season to 18 games: Cut the preseason to two games, and expand the regular season by two.

eh, might not be a bad idea, but as he mentions, the salary impact is not an insignificant issue. the bigger issue is that it will make staying healthy an even more important factor toward a superbowl victory, and in my mind, that means it tilts the scale toward luck and away from skill. no thanks, i'll pass. what the nfl really should do is just eliminate 2 preseason games. 16 regular season games is plenty.

2. Pass a bylaw prohibiting playoff expansion

this is a seriously stupid suggestion and a waste of time. not because i think the notion of expanding the playoffs is good (it's not), but because the idea of legislating against the possibility of future legislation is ridiculous. like we don't have enough freaking rules out there. if king ruled the world we'd have a law that said theft is illegal and a number of follow up laws saying that it's illegal to try to pass a law to legalize theft. what a dumbass.

3. Make long field goals more valuable

i'm aghast. there already is a game where kicking the ball is *very* valuable, dude. in fact, they've been playing their superbowl for several weeks now. go watch that and leave football alone. if anything, we should move toward eliminating field goals altogether. the world, and football, would be better for it.

4. Take NFL Sunday Ticket off the dish and put it on digital cable

good job, peter. you're a genius. i'm sure it took you all day to think of that one.

5. Stop the love affair with Los Angeles

right... because new orleans, jacksonville, arizona, houston, tennessee, and atlanta are chock full of rabid fans, no? LA supported their football teams no worse than these places, peter.

6. Put more mikes on players and officials, and put the game on a seven-second delay

three letters: X-F-L

7. Let players wear the numbers of their choice -- with an asterisk

what the f*ck, peter? this cracks your top ten list of things wrong with the nfl? seriously? seriously? could an issue be less significant? the charity spin makes it seem like a good thing to do, but do you really think there is a market for this? 20 players paying that kind of money? i don't see it and i see this for what it, you continuing to stump for reggie bush.

8. Prohibit the moving of the Saints for five years

eh, i'm down with that. i don't want to go to hell.

9. Put two computer chips in the football, and make the goal line, in essence, capable of sending a signal when the football touches the plane of the goal line: Let's just call this "The Ben Roethlisberger Rule."

hey genius, a football is a three dimensional object. what happens when the ball turns sideways? or rolls over? ok, so maybe you've never taken physics and you're not "tech savvy", but you do know what a football looks like, right? couldn't you have said "some" computer chips? why cite a specific number? you'd have been better off saying something like, "i think we should imbue footballs with free will and then just ask it whether or not it crossed the line." at least i'd have gotten some entertainment out of it.

10. Make the Super Bowl the best two out of three: Ha! Made you look. Just kidding. I may be commissioner, but I'm not that stupid.

yep. this is our peter king, demigod of football writers.
