I'll pick up from my last blog where I mentioned that I'd be having lunch with Sports Illustrated writer Peter King.

I was provided the opportunity to meet him through CR Pro Predator006. Pred's wife has a 'mommy blog' and somehow King had found it and became a loyal reader. After some emails and exchanges they become internet friends, which evolved to becoming real-life friends. King was in-town for the Super Bowl and donated his time as a charity for a local school. I bid on the lunch and ended up winning.

I ended up taking Andrew Wiggins with me to the lunch. It was interesting to hear some of King's thoughts and stories about his decades as a NFL reporter. He talked about everything from traveling with John Madden on the Madden Bus to his take on SpyGate and meeting Bill Belichick's parents. He weighed in on the Peyton Manning situation and also gave me a candid "no" when I asked him if Ochocinco would be relevant in the Super Bowl.

I'll recount my favorite story that PK shared:

He was in New Orleans with HBO (I think) to film an interview with Saints QB Drew Brees. Brees lived across from a big park and they were going to conduct the interview while Brees was walking his dog. Mid-interview, the dog proceeds to take a massive shit on the sidewalk. Unfazed, the HBO assistant bends down to clean up after the dog, and Brees ends up scoffing at the idea that he can't clean up after his own dog. He proceeds to call-off the assistant and take out a plastic bag and clean up his dog's mess.

Maybe this story isn't nearly as awesome to you guys, but I give mad props to Brees. During an age full of prima donnas and divas, it's pretty cool to see an able-bodied celebrity willing to do this.

Anyways, short blog entry but I wanted to wrap up the PK stuff. I have a few other topics I may blog about soon.
