As recently as a few months ago, Sports Illustrated insisted that no one person was going to take over for Peter King as the head of the MMQB, the magazine’s NFL website. It was somewhat surprising, then, to see MMQB writer Albert Breer announce in a press release today that he has been promoted to a “leading role” at…

Last fall, Peter King and Sports Illustrated editor-in-chief Chris Stone insisted that The MMQB, the football vertical the magazine created for King five years ago, was built to survive even if King were to ever leave. Now, with King headed to NBC, we get to see how that might work.

After 29 years at Sports Illustrated, Peter King is leaving to join NBC.

Sports Illustrated’s website is a modern marvel, in that it seems to drive people away from the good work that’s squished between various modules and distractions. The site is so bad that Sports Illustrated’s biggest name, Peter King, now tweets out an alternate version of a hyperlink to pieces on his own website. In…

Peter King’s contract with Sports Illustrated is up after this NFL season. Long famed for his access to the inner workings of the NFL and especially for his mysteriously direct connection to the mind of commissioner Roger Goodell, he may continue on as the face of the MMQB, the football vertical launched for and by…

Yesterday, on Twitter, Peter King of Sports Illustrated indicated his agreement with the idea that health care should be guaranteed for everyone in the United States.

Of all the clichés of the hack celebrity profile, perhaps the most overdone is the one where the writer opens with an observation of the famous person’s eating or drinking behavior from across a table. You’ve encountered this countless times, I’m sure: the bombshell sex-symbol tearing lustily into an implausibly huge,…

Proprietor of Sports Illustrated’s MMQB and Tom Brady stenographer Peter King had a meltdown yesterday over a tweet from Bleacher Report:

“What I believe may surprise his fans and his critics is that Boomer just about outworks everybody who people would consider his competition.” - Chris Mortensen

Here is Peter King, a face drawn on the side of Roger Goodell’s hand, telling you two ways that he likes to eat diarrhea. He likes to eat diarrhea on top of spaghetti with onions and cheese, and he likes to eat diarrhea on a hot dog, also with onions, but with no mustard.

Are you ready for the Jameis Winston rehabilitation tour? Winston did his part in getting it started by putting together a decent rookie campaign—nobody cares about cleaning up a crappy player’s image—and now it’s up to the ever-deferential NFL media to tell us all about What Jameis Winston Learned, before finally…

For all the danger they purport to identify in the world, conspiracy theories, at bottom, are comforting. They’re orderly and symmetrical and closed, like a square dance, matching participants 1:1 to malign intents and thus to culpability. Either you are in the conspiracy by cynical choice and sinister purpose, or you…

He’s probably talking about the Chip Kelly firing, but may be talking about Skyline chili. Seems accurate either way.

This tweet sucks! Why would you congratulate Odell Beckham Jr. here? What is Peter King’s deal?

Andy Benoit covers the NFL for Sports Illustrated and regularly heads up pro football analysis for MMQB. He also has no time for your stupid Women’s World Cup, or women’s sports in general.

The one truly indispensable basketball reporter is making moves. According to multiple sources, Yahoo reporter Adrian Wojnarowski has approached a number of basketball writers over the past few weeks and pitched them on joining a new personality-driven basketball website that he is contemplating. It’s unclear what the…

So Peter King, the NFL’s ambassador to Sports Illustrated, published something stupid and offensive in this morning’s edition of his weekly Monday Morning Quarterback column: his own writing. Within that, though, a particular passage, explaining the Dallas Cowboys’ selection of University of Nebraska pass-rusher Randy…

As Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie talked to the media Tuesday, Peter King was in the background, licking his lips, among other things. We all probably look odd when we don't know a camera's on us, but we're still going to enjoy King doing his best Chip Kelly impression.
