Other than Bill Simmons, the most polarizing sports writer on the Internet today has got to be Peter King -- either you love him, or you can't stand him. Personally, his MMQB column is a must-read, and for all of those people who mock him -- this comment made me laugh out loud: "King is a nonsense fountain" -- well, then why are they reading him in the first place? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Anyway, King's "stat of the week" was an eyebrow-raiser, at least for me: the average rating showed that 6.9 million American households tuned in to the NBA Finals, while last year's late-night Monday Night opener between the Chargers and Raiders -- a 27-0 San Diego mauling that didn't start until after 10 pm on the east coast -- was watched by 7.9 million American TV households. The NBA really does have a problem on its hands, and that problem is mainly that its league is unwatchable, it really is.
