Gastineau Lives Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Posted as a comment on ESPN New York: Joey Cimino · New Jersey City University Update on the "Replace Rich Cimini Movement": I Called ESPN NY (Phone # is 646-699-6800) this morning. I had to transfer to the Promotions and Finance Department (Extension 4) to to speak with a person, who took down my information and the reason for my call. I also sent a letter to the ESPN New York webmaster ( http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/radio/news/story?page=ESPNNYContact ). I'm gonna keep up this routine for the next week. Click the link below to sign the petition to have Rich Cimini replaced as the Jets beat writer for ESPN!https://www.change.org/petitions/espn-replace-rich-cimini-as-beat-writer-for-the-new-york-jets Rich Cimini frequently makes factual mistakes and typos in his articles, contradicts his own views and opinions in his previous posts, and generally antagonizes his readers (The Jets fan base) with overly negative coverage of the New York Jets. He also uses his position of authority to create false controversies, and his articles frequently feature a glib tone which, frankly, is not befitting of a professional organization such as ESPN. By the way - I will post this link on every single Jets post, every single day that I possibly can. I will send this link to every Jets fan I know, and post it on as many message boards as I can. I am SICK AND TIRED of Rich Cimini. Reply · Like · Follow Post · 18 minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 He has always been very nice and cordial to me.. Sadly, being nice and cordial does not make somebody good at what they do. I can't really fault him all that much based on the fact that all media has become one version or another of TMZ...he's a JAG reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 A Beat writer for a NY Team has little chance of continued applause You are correct, but that fact shouldn't stop him trying to do a respectable job.

Bleedin Green Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Add Manish for Daily News and maybe I will sign The funny thing is I think Cimini has actually cooled off a bit while Manish has absolutely become the worst. Don't get me wrong, Cimini still gets his shots in here and there, but it seems to be not quite bad as it once was, now that he's with EPSN. Manish on the other and is worse than Cimini ever was, he's a complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Manish was with the ledger, he was the best beat writer IMO. when he made his was to the news he quickly became the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 At a loss why you care. Whether Cimini or Mehta is an a-hole or a prince means exactly nothing. Why do you read or listen to either anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe fair to assume that Jets fans want to get their hands on as much content as possible and expect those with the most access to the masses to do a solid job? I could understand if somebody was bitching about the Pats beat writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 no one forces us to read his stuff I don't think anybody said they're forced to read his stuff at any point. However, that doesn't mean it's unreasonable to get in touch with the organization that is probably the most popular source of sports in America and request that they employ somebody who is competent and objective. As bad as he is, I (and many other Jet fans) will continue to read what he puts out becuase he has a level of access to the team that we do not. It's a no win situation really, because in cases like this you'll have one group of people saying "If you hate something so much, then get off your ass and do something about it". In this case, somebody has. He started a petition. However, once the petition is started, there will be others who are in line with your thinking, and claim that nobody is "forced" to read his articles. Like I said, no win situation, but I respect somebody who tries to improve the quality of the coverage provided for a team they root for. JMO.

When there is something I dont like, I dont give them my business anymore. Its not up to me to decide for others whether someone has a job or not. I barely read any articles about any of my sports teams since I dont like the reporting. But that doesnt mean I should go call a place of business and demand someone be fired from their job because I disagree with their views. To me bitching like this by calling and emailing is just a sad pathetic attempt by someone crying out for attention. Then again... thats all message boards are for the most part. so i guess we're all sad and pathetic too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, as long as I'm not out of pocket any cash, then I'm not giving them any of my business if I'm reading for free. I suppose I can't complain about reading Cimini for free..just getting what I paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
