An Open Letter to Peter King
Andrew Weiss takes up the pen and writes a letter to Peter King about his blindside of Jets fans yesterday. We’ve got one more post on King’s idiocy after this, and then we’re on the to next topic.
Dear Peter,
I recently had my mother over. She hasn’t been feeling well but that shouldn’t surprise you. You haven’t visited. Not even once.
You call yourself a son!
I know you’re mad at me about the Brett Favre thing—not showing up the other night. I realize I should have gone so you didn’t have to see the back of my empty seat (among all those others) from your perch in the Press box.
It must be tough for you to see, considering Brett calls you and leaves lengthy personal messages on your phone. You two must be close. I don’t suppose it matters to you that he hasn’t called me once? Not one message!
I’m just ranting. I really have no excuse.
We Jets fans really need to do some soul searching. Who are we to stay at home and watch Brett Favre’s fourteen snaps? Peter King wouldn’t stay at home. Even if he wasn’t flying first class to venues and getting paid to mail it in by writing the ten things he thinks he knows and getting in to the stadiums free and eating the free buffet, he’d be there. We’ve got to start putting our own feelings aside. Don’t we know Brett is a future Hall of Famer? What’s more don’t we respect Peter King? Don’t we know how important his feelings are? And, him writing for us all these years no matter what it cost him. If he had had the time he would have written the great American novel but he was stuck, working for us, covering the NFL, day after day. A selfless devotion and we have shown no respect.
I need to go now. I can’t write another word. I’m so ashamed.

OMG, this idiot is at it again:

What a pompous jerk this guy is! He acts like the fact that you are forced to buy the preseason tickets means that (1) gas; (2) tailgating; (3) buying food and beers during games; (4) taking the time on a Saturday; and (5) traveling; (6) etc., is as easy for JETS fans as it is for him!
Honestly, this guy is terrible. Does it make me a terrible JETS fan b/c I had to turn down my best buddy (who is a cop who saved a long time for his season tix) b/c I had previous plans?
Does he realize that unlike himself, people have to take care of their own families, and money IS an issue?!?!
Paying for the ticket isn’t even CLOSE to being the only dollar consideration in going to a preseason game.
All right, enough of this nonsense.
Yeah, what spent said. Lets move on.
Peter King is a bigger jackass than well, everyone!
Tell Peter Kings fat ass to show up at Giants Stadium for a Jets home game and to sit with the fans. We’ll be glad to show him how rabid we are about the Jets.
It’s a PRE SEASON game you fat turd.
Peter King,
Really, it sounds like a bunch of sorry drunk and sad clowns that are attacking you!!! I’m a J-E-T-S fan and I live in Atlanta, I know if I was given tickets to see Brett Farve in a preseason game, I would have attended.
I guess if those sad (clowns) fans weren’t able to see them play they would appreciate all those games.
I have Directv and I was watching JetsNation and they went around New York and ask those so call fans, name 5 new players the Jets have acquired and those idiots only could name Brett Farve.
So inclosing Peter King you “DO YOU” . Tell them you get paid to write. Everybody is trying to tell you how to do your job, How would they feel if you went to their job and told them how many times they scratched their asses!!
