[edit] Overemphasis on Web Column

King is one of the great writers in football history, and it was disappointing to see so much space devoted to his web column and no mention of anything else. I added a brief sketch of the rest of his career, but this article need more work ro achieve the proper balance. --Sportswriter 01:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral POV

How can this article remotely be thought to be neutral POV?

The last bit about Art Monk is clearly not neutral, and I dont think its true either.

-"I dont think its true either" While the statement may not be neutral it is factual. Peter King is one of the 39 people who gets to vote on the HOF and he is very outspoken in his refusal to vote for Monk. See [1]Unklelemmy 20:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Deleted this: "His arrogance makes his columns difficult to swallow." for obvious reasons. Deleted this: "King's credibility has recently been damaged by his capricious and arbitrary opposition to allowing Washington Redskin great Art Monk into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. King's increasingly defensive and incoherent rants on the subject have led to accusations of geographical bias." His opposition is not arbitrary. The debate over Art Monk is contentious, and King is not the only one against him (obviously, since he does not have the only hall of fame vote). You can include his opposition to Monk's worthiness for the Hall, but do it in a neutral way. There has been no general questioning of King's credibility or accusations of geographical bias. And yes I am a Redskins fan, so don't holler at me.

Does he really get to be considered "outspoken" for "chiding" Fox about Temptation Island? I'm pretty sure tons of people thought it was pretty dumb back then too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.54.37 (talk) 01:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
