Norman Chad writes his “Couch Slouch” column for both the Washington Post and SI.com.  This week’s column is a fictional letter exchange between Michael Vick and Brett Favre.  Suspiciously, the two versions have a slight difference.

This passage from the Washington Post version, mysteriously, did not appear the Sports Illustrated version.

Dear Michael:

Just talked on the phone with Sports Illustrated’s Peter King — told him I’m retired. (Not!) Every time I tell him I’m retired for good, he writes it down and reports it. If I told this jughead the world was flat, he’d write it down and report it.

Dear Brett:

I thought you got a lot of ESPN coverage, but those people put a mini-cam in my garbage disposal, plus when I opened up the fridge this morning, I could’ve sworn I saw Ed Werder next to the Miracle Whip.

For those planning to write for Sports Illustrated, write ad nausem about your colonoscopy prep, but keep the Peter King jokes to yourself, thank you.
