"SI's 'Monday Morning Quarterback' Grows into an Unlikely Must-Read" by Sarah Zdesar


It's the All-American dream, it's the All- American story. The story goes like this. On a whim, a middle-aged man named Peter King would start getting into a fairly new project that we now know as the Internet and begin a relatively small new article that ran on Monday mornings. The Monday morning article which he called, not surprisingly, 'Monday Morning Quarterback' was a guick hit. The article basically gives a run down of one of America's favorite past times...FOOTBALL!
I guess it's everyone's dream to do something that they absolutely love for their profession, but on the level that King does is astonishing. He has has professional athletes and coaches reading his article and then emailig and calling him to let him know what exactly they thought about what he wrote. Of course it's not always going to be positive, but that seems to be beside the fact. Now with the supposed new six figure sponsorship from General Motors, King seems to really be living the life of just that...a King.
So when it comes down to it, King has found the ultimate job where he basically works one day (Sunday night), relys on other peoples analysis, has high profile friends to contact and in the end just takes guesses of what he perdicts will happen the following weekend. King has become the envy of many if not all professionals.
