I don't mind Peter King as much as some. (Reading comments over at Footballoutsiders, you'd think he was the worst football writer in America. He's not, he's just boring.) But his Monday Morning Quarterback column this week, and his All Pro picks along with his vote for Coach of the Year, are abhorent.

First, not one Packer player makes his All Pro list. Not one on a 13-3 team. (Al Harris apparently barely lost out in King's mind to Ronde Barber) Fine. I can understand that. There are few massive stars on this team outside Frave, and he was clearly outplayed this year by Brady. But as I'm reading King's picks I'm thinking, "Obviously, without one All Pro on his 13-3 team, Mike McCarthy is a shoe-in for King's Coach of the Year vote."

Wrong.

King names Bill Belichick as Coach of the Year and adds "...the accomplishment of this team, and its head coach, are too overwhelming to overlook." No, Peter, the accomplishment of the Patriots is not overwhelming, it is the culmination of the work Belichick and Scott Pioli did in the offseason assembling one of the greatest teams ever seen. Every national prognosticator had the Patriots in the Super Bowl this preseason. Where did they have Green Bay? Most had them battling the Vikings for the NFC North cellar. The vote is not for Personnel Team of the Year, it's Coach of the Year. McCarthy did a whole lot more with a whole lot less and by far deserves the Coach of the Year award over Belichick. And it isn't even close.

What a joke.
