The daily Peter King mocking

When I wake up in the morning, I don't really set out to mock Peter King at every chance I get but the man makes it way too easy.

I mentioned this in the previous post, but it was so awkward and so strange that I just have to put it here again...

j. Jacoby Ellsbury might be a young Steve Nash.

Please, please explain to me what that means because I seriously can't find anything about Jacoby Ellsbury that will remind me of Steve Nash.

Either way, Peter was horrible with his fantasy advice again this week. But there's one positive about his consistent ass-sucking and that is the humor that it brings to all of us.

So yeah, here are this week's blunders, courtesy of SI's senior football writer...

1. I wrote in my picks this week that McNair has 42 touchdown passes in his last 42 games. So, uh, going into Pittsburgh, he's not a good pick this week. Do not pick him up. I'd rather take Joey Harrington this week.

By saying that McNair only has 42 Td passes in his previous 42 games already shows you how average he has been since winning the Co-MVP thing. And now McNair and that pathetic Ravens offense will go against Pittsburgh, a team that prides itself on defense and they probably will be without Todd Heap again..

I don't think that anyone is playing Steve McNair tonight with any confidence whatsoever...

3. Marvin Harrison? Law of the jungle if he plays. The Patriots will try to knock the snot out of him. Pass. Play Anthony Gonzales instead. Hey, did you know the Patriots loved Anthony Gonzales before the draft? Now the Buckeye will be the real wild card in whether the Colts can win this game.

I may be wrong here but I think that the kid is called Anthony Gonzalez. And he really sparkled yesterday with his 1 catch for 13 yards. I mean, if you're going to blow Ted Washington sized chunks with your advice, at least get the name right..

4. Tight end with the best numbers in week nine: Dallas Clark. Book it. He'll be where Peyton Manning loves to see a receiver when the touch pass rush comes -- in the slot -- and Manning will know he'll catch anything in his area code.

Dallas Clark : 2 catches, 15 yards. Not really the best numbers in week nine if you ask me. But hey, check out the tight ends that I had going yesterday. Kellen Winslow, 11 catches for 125 and Tony Gonzalez, 10 catches for 109 and a score.


7. Jay Cutler, Jay Cutler, Jay Cutler. Trade for him if you're in a two-quarterback league. He's going to put up good numbers the rest of the way, starting Sunday against the Lions.

Cutler got hurt and only managed to throw 4 passes before being replaced. The Peter King curse in full effect folks..

8. Hmmmm. I know you already took my Dallas Clark advice, but one more tight end to pick up Sunday is Owen Daniels of Houston. Sage Rosenfels is going to need a security blanket against the Oakland blitz, and Daniels will be it.

Owen Daniels : 4 catches, 41 yards. But hey, it was at least a little bit better than Dallas Clark.

9. Chris Chambers is about to be a very famous wide receiver. This is the week he starts producing big for Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers.

Chris Chambers : 5 catches, 59 yards and this was probably his best prediction of the bunch. Peter King is to fantasy football what I am to cooking.
