I gag every time that bilious windbag opens his mouth. Last year his “expert” assessment of the Belacheat scandell as being insignificant was unbelievable. I live amongst the enemy (in Central Mass) and the Boston sportscasters were WAY more critical (and interesting) than King was of the PATS. Being controversial is cool if you can provide some sort of insight or fresh, interesting, perspective. But time after time we see the bloated jerk posturing like the final authority on what’s going on “Inside” the NFL and yet if you look back – you’ll find that he simply lurching along behind the rest of the self-adoring sheep in the National sports media.

I absolutely love preseason games b/c I’m obsessed with tailgating and I’m not a season ticket holder, so in addition to stub-hubbing 1-2 games each year, I like getting there as much as possible.

I absolutely cannot, however, blame a season ticket holder for not wanting to go to every preseason game, even if Favre is in there. My perspective as a non-season ticket holder is much different!

What Peter King doesn’t understand is that the JETS are lucky to have 10,000 at their preseason games. So 40,000 is a significant increase.
Also Peter King and his assine ideas are one of the reasons I don’t subscribe to SI anymore.

King is a bum. He cant be from northern new jersey or NY metro area. He has no idea. There may not have been a packed stadium, but I tell you what, the parking lot was BANANAS! Packed. #4’s everywhere. I suggest that our homey king doesnt make any appearences in east rutherford. We might have a problem…..When favre took the field, we heard it at your parking spot (even with an half empty stadium). Now imagine how loud, and how much support he will get at the home opener?

Readers, please kick me in the balls if I ever write the word ‘horsefeathers’ in a column other than to quote Peter King …

Remind me to kick Peter in the balls just for saying that and then again for blasting New York, his piece isn’t making fans happy I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an angry mob waiting for him somewhere … King just hurt his reputation for any further writings on anything New York and possible more.

10,000 fans show up to Favre’s first practice and more than 1/2 the stadium is filled on a Saturday night in NY for a meaningless pre-season game, but to PK we’re not great fans? He’s a douchebag!

I went to all 8 atrocious, painful, eye-gouging regular season games last season, including some real winners like Jets-Chiefs. But since I didn’t go to a preseason game in which Brett Favre played roughly 5 minutes total, I guess I’m not a fan anymore. I’m sorry I had better things to do (go to a party) Peter King, please forgive me!
What a joke.

seriously… the 60,000 jerseys sold in 3 days werent enough? Sorry people didnt wanna pay regular season prices to see Favre throw 5 passes… not to mention we shot up the ticketsales list like 20 places… every jets fan needs to email PK and let him hear it!
