My Favorite NFL Analysts——Peter King

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King is prolific.  One look at his archive available at SI.com[1] will show as much.  But I go to King because he seems to understand the game better than any other non-player journalist that I read. He’s also the only thing that makes “Football Night in America” tolerable, not that I recommend anyone watch that show. It’s unfortunate that he’s with Sports Illustrated – a publication I generally find to be inferior to ESPN.com’s pieces and even ESPN The Magazine.

I think King’s greatest strength is his experience; he’s been covering football for SI for over 20 years and keeps on trucking.  It’s all he does and he’s great at it.  I know I can’t really point to anything tangible, but I recommend you read some of his articles; his one about the draft written in March is surprisingly accurate.[2] The writing blends the insider information of John Clayton with the analysis of someone like Tom Jackson, which makes him better than the both of them.

opinion:MLB BASEBALL AND JESUS

So one of my very best friends Michelle retired from the Air Force and moved to Texas. Her husband is from Texas and that’s where they settled. I’ve yet to get to Texas to visit.

Michelle has been an avid Rangers fan, going to Rangers game and tweeting and facebooking about them. So in honor of her I decided to be a Rangers fan for the World Series. WHO KNEW watching baseball could be this exciting. And if you want to know how much of an MLB Baseball fan I haven’t been in the past…I had to get MLB jerseys cheap schooled that the World Series is the best of 7 games played between the same 2 teams. LOL. I guess God wanted me to give baseball fandom a try!

What’s been fun is learning who’s who on the Rangers and particularly two around the way NC boys on the team. There’s Josh Hamilton – who has battled drugs and alcohol and given the glory of recovery to God and admitting that not putting God first was the hindrance to his recovery. And then there’s Matt Harrison who’s from literally RIGHT around the way in Stem, NC. Just makes it cooler to watch the Rangers.

So I’ve been watching the World Series games with her and while the game is on we chat on Facebook about the game and the Rangers. It’s almost as cool as being on Newhope Icampus at the same time!
