yeah, he's just the most nationally renowned NFL writer there is. no good at all.

i'm not questioning whether he's nationally renown or not, and he's obviously respected enough to be given a vote for AP awards and the HOF. however, i don't care for him. nearly every week he will contradict himself within the column. he spends a huge amount of column space talking about everything but football (like coffee, the hardships of being a traveling member of the media staying in fine hotels and eating on expense accounts, or the red sox).

one of his arguments in rodgers' favor is that the packers won the head-to-head matchup. ignoring the fact that brees had at least as good a game (32/49 for 419 and 3 TD's vs. 27/35 for 312 and 3 TD's). he also states that he doesn't want statistics to unduly affect the vote, and goes on to seemingly penalize brees for throwing the ball more times than rodgers.

FWIW, i'm cool w/ brees or rodgers winning or splitting (i'd obviously prefer brees gets a share but they're both awesome). what's really annoying is when king breaks down hall of fame discussions. but thank goodness he keeps writing so KSK can keep eviscerating it.
