The World of Peter King Just Keeps Opening Full of Wonders


Remember when Peter King confessed to just having found out about Guinness Beer and the movie Saving Private Ryan?

Well, apparently he just found out about something called "a keg stand."

Yep, in 2011.

With two daughters who have recently gone through college.

Man, this guy never misses a thing, does he?

1. There is this strange custom called a "Keg Stand'' that all kids evidently do now. You stand next to the keg, put both hands on the side of the keg, have two others lift your legs so that you're upside down, and, at that point, a third person takes the beer nozzle from the keg and puts it in your mouth while you drink it. A fourth person pumps the keg. And everyone counts the seconds you can last. (Dumb me, I didn't even know what this thing was, and it's apparently the most common of drinking games.) I didn't do it, thankfully. But congrats to Brittany, the biggest Sidney Crosby fan there is (who must be all of 102 pounds), who was able to last 24 seconds. Drinking upside-down. What a country.


In this week's edition of Monday Morning Quarterback, King also produces the following bits of brilliance.

a. If he were the Eagles, he wouldn't trade Kevin Kolb for anything less than THREE #1 draft picks, something which, I don't ever recall happening. Ever.

b. Admits amongst his worst predictions, was the that Carolina Panthers would make the playoffs and John Fox would be named Coach of the Year. The Panthers are currently "on the clock" to start the 2011 NFL Draft, and Fox has been fired.

c. A pitiful confession that Favre no longer returns his calls. (/blubbers uncontrollably)

d. Wishes Jim Nantz luck in his re-marriage to his 31 year old former girlfriend. Hey, Pete knows other famous people! Aren't you impressed?

e. Produces a "Fine Fifteen" ranking, whereby the 6-10 Lions check in at 15. Sure.

As usual, Pete produces a column that is long on word count, short on actual insight. But the unintentional laugh riot reads like a rollercoaster of WTF?
