Peter King's Onion Doppleganger
It's almost NFL season, which means we're all about to experience a solid five months of Peter King. This is fine; King knows more about football than almost everyone we know. But be prepared: MMQB is about to take up residence in your brain and lay eggs.
Others have pointed out the resemblance of King's MMQB ramblings to Larry King's old USA Today column, but we'd never noticed, until Food Court Lunch pointed it out to us, that he more closely resembles The Onion society columnist Jackie Harvey.
Here's a King and a Harvey, side-by-side.
Awesomeness, Billy Joel's [At the Superbowl]: "Great combo of anthem (Billy Joel) and flyover. The four fighter jets appeared to be about 20 yards over the top of the stadium. Amazing. Prince, Schmince." "Congratulations to piano man Billy Joel for his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Billy, with such classic records as The Nylon Curtain, Storm Front and River Of Dreams under your belt, when it comes to rocking and rolling, you're far from an 'innocent man.'"
They've got a lot more examples; it's really quite striking.
