GreenFish Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 DJ just announced he is leaving the beat. Damn. I think this is a big loss. I'm sure there are Jets fans that don't like him. But I thought he was a fun reporter to follow and someone who was fairly objective in his reporting. Lord help us if we get someone like Manish again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the Daily News is going to get someone really controversial.

Popular Post BurntDice Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 Dang I liked him a lot too. Usually just told it how it was with no agenda behind it unlike cimini and Hughes. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bungaman Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 While he says it was fun, I imagine he's leaving because he's not getting paid a living wage by the DN. They probably can't afford experienced writes - and have two tiers: big names, and barely paid above intern level staff. OT: Few traditional newspapers can compete with the disappearance of local advertising in the digital age. Unfortunately, local print media is withering, which is especially damaging to smaller towns (not just NYC or the big cities,) because local coverage of courthouses, schools, etc., disappears completely. No oversight, more corruption and misbehavior. Not sure what the solution is - maybe let local newspapers get some sort of tax free support to help keep them afloat: they are critical to an informed voting populace. JMHO. 8 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 He was the one beat reporter last year that kept saying Zach was holding the ball too long during training camp and took a lot of heat for it. Turns out he was right. It was tough to keep up with his slang. I learned that "cap" means lie. Still doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I thought he had very neutral and good reporting. Yeah I'll miss his reporting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jNYC1 Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 DJ was one of the best reporters on the beat. Brought neutral agenda free writing, strong football knowledge, good questions in presser, broader NFL perspective, etc., to his work. Engaged well with fans - even when opinions varied or fans acted "fanatically" - and he did so consistently across multiple channels (pods & social media). He also brought some entertaining elements of youth/current culture and vernacular to the beat... in an authentic way. I'm sure he educated a few fans on what the young folks/ players are saying these days... Looking at his twitter feed - overwhelmingly Jets Twitter is sad that he's going. I'll really miss his coverage... dude is a real one, and a major loss on the beat. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More recently he's been a bit too "Manish" with his biases in his camp reporting IMO. His work prior tho, was exceptional. In terms of DJ, As a non-local I never read his newspaper articles (I presume he wrote some), but his tweets (reposted on JN) were always sorta trash, spelling errors, a lack of knowledge, alot of bias, etc. Very much the modern style of "I'll tell you want to think, for the clicks" kinda reporter it seemed, but again, never read his articles, they might have been fire for all I know. To be honest, I think reporting of facts is all I really want. We Fans can form our own opinions, we don't need a Manish or a DJ to tell us how to evaluate those facts.

Doggin94it Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Good guy, knows his football, communicates well. Second best writer on the beat behind Hughes, and that was probably just a function of who they work for.

Not sure it makes a difference as to what I posted. In the past he seemed very objective/neutral, the perfect reporter. Lately, less so, as I see it.

The fact that he doesn’t continuously criticize our rookie Qb last year? Sounds like your bias is playing a role in your unwarranted criticism.
