Better Than Coffee Tales: Peter King Averts Eyes as Lovers Get Intimate Under a Blanket
Media Gossip/Musings July 21st. 2008, 11:45am
Man, how early do you people get up to read Peter King’s MMQB? A flurry of emails this morning about two items in PK’s latest: His daughter got an internship with the Seahawks, and he was grossed-out by a couple that may have been copulating near him on a flight.
7. I think in the interest of full disclosure, I want to report that my daughter, Mary Beth King, has taken a PR internship with the Seattle Seahawks for the season. It’s going to sound hollow to say I had nothing to do with it, but I didn’t. She applied without telling me. New family rule: Mary Beth does not share conversations with Matt Hasselbeck or Mike Holmgren with her father.
Aisle seat in coach on a jumbo jet from LAX to Atlanta. Two seats on either side, with three seats in the middle row. I’m on the left of one of those three-seaters. Boyfriend and girlfriend, I assume, next to me in the other two seats. They put a blanket over their head upon takeoff. There is movement under the blanket. I’m creeped out. I try to fall asleep. Every 10 minutes or so a leg or arm jolts me slightly. Are they stretching to sleep, somehow? Are they doing something else? No one knows. After an hour or so they fall asleep. Blanket stays over their heads until we’re cleared for landing. Then they sit up and get un-disheveled.
There’s probably a crass threesome joke to be made, but we’ll leave that to the professionals. Closest we’ve seen to this was on a flight from Vegas to New York. Two people who didn’t know each other prior to the flight were in the same row, and the middle seat was open. The guy ordered a drink before the plane took off, and the girl decided to get one too. They both drink throughout the flight while we watched a movie on one of those portable gizmos. Finally, as the lights go out prior to landing, these two lunge at each other and starting sucking face. Quite comical.

Factoid That May Interest Only Me
In the 36th-floor midtown Manhattan studio of Sirius Satellite Radio — where I work a day or two a week doing “The Morning Drive’ with Bob Papa and Randy Cross — sits a big naugahyde easy chair with a Patriots logo, with their Super Bowl titles sewn in. Earlier this month, Plaxico Burress of the Giants was an in-studio guest. As he walked out of the studio, he looked over at the chair.
“Can I sign something?” Burress said to Eric Fenton, producer of the show.
“Sure,” Fenton said.
“Got a Sharpie?” Burress asked.
Fenton handed him one, and, over the Patriots’ Elvis logo, Burress signed his name, his number (17), and “XLII Champs!”
As cool as can be, Burress walked out of the studio.
“Looks pretty good,” he said on his way out the door.

I know he doesn’t write the little one-liners that appear under his name on the website, but I found this one irritating:
Anatomy of the Jason Taylor trade, and implications for Brett Favre.

Oh, and - You think Dr. Z has to put up with this shit?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:55 am
DR Z is busy picking games with swimsuit models!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:56 am
Dr. Z would have gotten underneath that sheet and showed the guy how it’s really done!

Widely read NFL columnist Peter King has a daughter named Mary Beth that he repeatedly mentions in his column. But the Seahawks had no idea that the Mary Beth King that has Colgate on her resume (he mentions this repeatedly has well) was Peter King’s daughter?

Batman is yelling expletives in that raspy voice of his for the lack of a post about him yet.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:14 pm
That reminds me, why does Batman feel it’s necessary to talk in that dumb voice to people who already know his identity?
July 21st, 2008 at 12:14 pm
I am Batman.

My apologies to anyone who witnessed me soloing the Mile High Club on my weekly Columbus to Boston flights. Only way I could make myself fall asleep.

July 21st, 2008 at 12:17 pm

July 21st, 2008 at 12:20 pm
he did it to maggie G this time around. I don’t know how the actors don’t crack up at him when he talks like that.

Cortes..I saw that..fucking awesome…and TBL..you are shocked so many people read Peter King on Monday mornings? the guy is a lot of things but he is also the most thorough and informed…he is a must read for NFL fans even if he spends to much time fluffing Favre and talking coffee
July 21st, 2008 at 12:35 pm
MMQB is the shit…along with PFT, a must read for any real NFL fan.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:36 pm
