undertow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The truth is everyone who gets a small following egos gets out of control and eventually start trying to make as much money as possible. Independent media is cool until a little money starts rolling in and then you are doing 5 videos a day about why the Jets shouldn't take a WR at 10 and the latest DB Samuels rumor on Twitter. Everyone is playing the same game these douche bags are just more successful at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these guys covering the team would have survived handling it any other way. Agree. The one exception is Eisen. I know he is not a jet beat reporter, but he is a true fan and not fake like Greenberg and the rest.. Eisen can give you the truth good or bad but still show with honesty his jet fandom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think greenberg is fake. He just gets emotional and says a lot of stupid sh*t on air - like begging Trevor Lawrence not to come to his favorite team. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I remember when DWC wanted to go to Journalism school last year, and teach all the beat writers how to cover the NY Jets. I’m getting that same kind of vibe from you, except he was at least willing to get schooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not a true Jet fan. He has a national show and his job is talk about all sports teams. I am sure if he reported as you have suggested, he would still be doing morning radio with Golic. Oh, I thought the Jersey bet was funny and he was a good sport about it. I don't recall the guys bame because he had a short career but the guy was a Rangers fan and he lost a bet and had to wear a Flyers Jersey and he called in sick that day. I thought that was being a total DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not suggesting he be a homer in any way or not tell it like it is that the Jets have stunk up the place the last 10 years. I just don't like the whole die hard Jets fan - live and die green etc. with some of the other stuff he does. For me it comes off fake. We see it differently which is ok. .

There was a show on ESPN radio where he called in and they went over all his wierd eatting habits. The guy is a germaphobe and if you ever met one (I work with one and he doesn't allow anyone near his desk) they have all kinds of strange habits. I will say he had reasons for eatting as he does. If eatting wings with a knife and fork are your reasons for not liking him, have at it. Greenie is one of the better sports reporters along with Rich Eisen. There is always Craig Carton as an alternative for you. I just remembered why he said he eats with a knife and fork. He said there are parts of a wing where you can't get to the meat with your teeth but he has developed a method with cutting it the way he does where he gets it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenReaper Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Cimini and the rest of the locals...for me...are nothing but a bunch of agenda driven rag-writers. Not even worth my time to read. To read them...give them coin...is to give them the respect they don't deserve. It's unfortunate they have to show up at Jets pressers. And for the most part...ask a bunch of stupid gaslighting dribble. And subject Jets organization...it's players...and us fans...to listen or watch their Q & A nonsense. Not everyone in the sports world are clowns looking for clicks. But the clowns colorize sports into something less informative then it should be. Certainly less fun too. I put them on my ignore list a long time ago. I suggest you do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Cimini has been on the beat for like 30 years. He’s understandably glass half empty. I appreciate him knowing the history of the franchise and generally gets some tidbits you wouldn’t get from anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
