He's managing editor for HBO's Inside the NFL, and a senior writer for Sports Illustrated - the largest sports magazine in the world. If you don't think Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch doesn't give Peter King's opinion a little more weight than that of whatever jerk-off they sent from Jacksonville, you should not be allowed to drive a car. |
Does Peter King feed them all? Cuts their paychecks? I mean, come on, unless Peter King has the power to throw someone out of the committee I don't see why anyone in that committee wouldn't vote the way they felt! If you really think that being a managing Editor of Inside the NFL with it's measly audience and a senior "FOOTBALL" writer at SI gives him that much power and cred I think perhaps you need to get your head checked.
Cut the conspiracy bullshit folks. Monk simply isn't getting in because not enough of the committee members think he deserves it or have their own agenda. It's as simple as that.
p.s. Len "Fat F*ck" Pasquarelli is on there and you know that bastard is a hatter.
