I understand King works on a tight deadline for MMQB and thus has limited opportunities to review and confirm all assumptions, proclamations and the like. Yet each week he throws out a bunch of "I've never seen this" or "No player has ever done this" claims that are easily refuted by the fans of the team/player in question. My issue: King has arguably the best access of any reporter out there in terms of contacts from league officials to front office to players. And that's all his column offers: the virtues of that access. He could use that access and pen a really great Tuesday or Wednesday column but chooses not to do so. Could not have said it more eloquently than Pattison Pundit.

I grant that it must be hard to cover all of the bases while writing a column that is supposed to encompass the entire NFL, but this is a bit ridiculous. Sorry Petey, you must not know the Andy Reid I do. What's your next big theory, that Andy will convert to Catholicism?
