Sean Taylor doesn't want to be a skin? WTF?

DRKSTAR, wow, that hostility was way, way over the line (in addition to being totally unjustified). Sure, King makes a lot of astute observations. But he also makes a lot of ridiculous ones. Just because this guy is a writer, does not make him a member of MENSA, anyhow. All these guys do is listen to stuff, assess it for reliability, and decide which of it to report. If it is a slow day, they definitely stretch the line on that.

Now as far as INTELLIGENCE goes (I'm going on a tangent here), don't count on a lot of that from many of these writers. I have not checked out King indepth, but some of the others have a horrible track record when it come to prognosticating and projecting player performances. Try going back to at the end of a season and looking at articles these guys wrote at the outset. Priscoe, for example, is so far off it is laughable. You would do MUCH better throwing darts than heeding his projections. So the bottom line is, don't automatically give these guys credibility just because they learned to write, and convinced someone to pay them to do it. A very few of them are very good.
