More Pete King

The Wall Street Journal: Is it true that you offered to give back some of your salary to save jobs at Sports Illustrated?

Mr. King: It's something I did but I really don't want to talk about it. But I will say this: I make a ridiculous amount of money. I'm not saying I'm not worth it. But I make a stupid amount of money. Sometimes it seems a little absurd considering what's happening in our business.

Allow me to say you aren't worth it.

I'll do predictions (stolen material)

Then we will debate over them.

Packers 54, Rams Shit Number

Something like a nine or something. One of those "ZOMG TEH RED ZONE WHAT DO WE DO" numbers.

Texans 35, Jaguars 4

The ole two safety stinkbarn.

Vikings > Niners

Really folks. The Niners are shitty. Teams with good defenses will make them squirm.

Pats > Falcons

Tom Brady is insufferable. Don't take pictures of him or he'll kill your kids.

Bears > Seahawks

Seahawks, NFL's most boring team? I vote yes. Cleveland and St. Louis in the running. Throw Washington in there and KC and Oakland and Denver and Jacksonville and Miami and Tampa Bay and San Francisco and Carolina and Detroit and Chicago also.

Ravens > Browns

The downfall of Brady Quinn is beauty in inevitability.

Eagles > Chiefs

The downfall of Matt Cassell is invitabilitiy in booty.

Giants > bucs

football game, a team wins

Steelers > Bengals, Skins > Lions, Chargers > Doplhintsnn, Saints >, Titans > Oilers, Jets > Cardinles ,,,,,, Coltgs > Jews

Week Three looks like crap.

Are there?

What if Joe Mauer's team makes the playoffs?

Writers will kill themselves, because that is the sole criterion for the MVP award.

Deadspin, finally useful

Read in SI today that the editors of Fire Joe Morgan are taking over Deadspin today. Check that out, butterfly shits.

Hi, I'm a Holistic Veterinarian

Hi, I'm a Holistic Veterinarian.

WHAT! YOU CAN'T FEED YOUR CAT THAT FOOD. CATS DESCENDED FROM DESERT CATS. THEY DO NOT EAT DRY FOOD. YOU ARE A MONSTER. THIS IS WHY ANIMALS DESERVE THEIR OWN RIGHTS SO THEY CAN BE FREED FROM MONSTERS SUCH AS YOURSELF AND CESAR MILLAN.

This is the day I had.

Obama!!! What do you think you're doing?!?

Over the past several months, trivial issues such as unemployment, public healthcare, and government spending have saturated the modern media with pointless questions, none of which will ever be answered until Obama addresses the most heavy-pressing issue of them all: Box Top inflation.

I strolled through the cereal isle just the other day, clipboard in hand, when I saw the most abhorrent injustice this nation has ever upheld. Two Box Tops on one box of Cocoa Puffs. Really, Barack? Are the cereal giants of America going to get away with this infraction of the Constitution? Some of the greatest minds of post-Colonial America drafted those hallowed papers in hope for a future America free from the shackles of Frosted Flakes or Wheat Thins!

Box Tops were propelled into the U.S. economy in the Clinton era, beginning as a harmless, innocent way to promote the well-being of students and their schools. Box Tops immediately incited obesity in children across the nation, as contests were stimulated in learning environments to raise money for schools, and the typical 5th grader would consume 3 to 4 boxes of cereal over a two-hour span on average. The winning class of the given school would possibly enjoy an ice cream party, only serving to fatten the innocent children more so.

Box Tops are also the primary causes of sudden infant death syndrome, liver cancer, and the common cold. And yes, there is absolutely no cure for the common cold.

I assumed the group of cereal boxes was something of a fluke or a mistake, so I moved on, and proceeded to evaluate the frozen yogurt section. My supermarket pastime was unanticipatedly interrupted when I spotted a box of Toaster Strudel with yet another two box tops. Last I checked, most boxes only have one top, don't they? DON'T THEY?!

So what does this mean for our already-crumbling America? This may turn into  a double-take of Canada's Box Top Reform, initiated by their emperor (or whatever they have in Canada) in 1985, during an 18 month recession, as the Box Tops were tearing apart the foundation of their economy. That's why their dollar is worth more than ours, I think. The only difference between now and then is that our economy is already in jeopardy, and the unsupervised doubling of box tops is sure to bring this nation's salubrity to an end.

How to prevent this? Eat more Box Tops. Not cereal. Box Tops. It's the only way. So long as all of the Box Tops in Anglo-America are consumed and digested, this beautiful nation will never see its end. Once you're done with the Box Top, give the cereal/frozen pastry/brownie mix to a homeless guy. He needs it more than you do, plus I hear it hurts to eat with liver cancer, which you now have from consuming box tops. We still admire your sacrifice for this country, though.

Twitter Friendly Movie Reviews

Feel free to agree with everything I say. The beauty of a twitter friendly review is that if anything is wrong or missing you can blame the 140 character limit. You're welcome and I'm sorry. 

Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino has done it again. His style works because his writing is great and his actors performances are authentic.

District 9, a very non Hollywoood movie that eventually uses Hollywoody plot elements. Original in style, location and pacing. Enjoyable.

500 days of summerA unique take on a love story. Pleasant to watch. A NYC/Chicago type setting in downtown LA. Not horrible. Some say good

Bruno, Completely over the top. Not quite guerrilla film making. Lots of penis. Some very funny moments. Shock humor taken to a new level.

The Hangover, I laughed my ass off. Really enjoyed this movie. Zach Galifianakis's star is born. Very satisfying movie. Well done.

Up, Another enjoyable, funny, poignant Pixar film. Good for kids and adults. Made some adults cry. Not me, I'm tough. Everyone laughed too.
