There are certain websites, and writers, who love to rock the boat. Why? Because they know it will create discussion. It is a solid business model for a site trying to drive traffic to their website, and NBC Sports as a part of Pro Football Talk, among others, is near the top of the heap when it comes to this style of online journalism.
One of the things NBC Sports does well are their constant thread of articles, and writers like Peter King on staff. There aren’t many more who are more respected than King, and King knows how to stir up the NFL landscape.
