Cimini leaves Daily News, goes to ESPN New York

Recommended Posts

that's the scuttlebutt. of all the beat writers I actually thought he was the best. he brought more negativity than i would have preferred, but he was more on top of what was going on with the jets than the others, imo.

so what is this new gig he's doing at ESPN?

He's not going anywhere, chances are he'll be a Jets beat writer for ESPNNY...

But would he get the same readership? I haven't paid much attention to ESPNNY, have you???

In any event, classic dick move by Cimini to leave the week of the draft so there are no draft articles on the Jets in the News.

They moved his Blog:

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/jets/2010/04/swinging-for-a-good-cause.html

And he's still reporting for them about the draft:

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2010/04/17/2010-04-17_jets_in_a_rush_to_upgrade_dline_during_nfl_draft.html

At least up to last Saturday.

Sorry kids, The witch may not be dead!

He didnt leave voluntarily,,Cimini was part of a Globalization layoff..he has been replaced by the famous, but cheap, Delhi Sports writer, Ramma Poopa

Ramma's 1st article will be about why there is no Rasgulla served at new stadiums concessions stands

Is that the new Press buffet in the new stadium? Nice
He calls himself "Steve" and until recently worked the service line for H-P printers.

He will start every article by advising his readers to make sure their computers are plugged in.

Erik Boland was the best Jet beat writer of the last few years and then they promoted him because they thought he was too good for the Jets. Hopefully now that the Jet Golden Age is upon us that kind of thing will stop happening.

The weird thing about Cimini for me is that he seemed like a tool in his writings but when he was on the radio he actually sounded like a good guy.

Print journalists are jumping off the newspaper ship as fast as humanly possible. Kinda feel bad for Jane here, though. Rich just basically ripped the NFL beat from her in one fell swoop. Tough business.

Im all for female empowerment and the whole nine, but reading her articles made my head want to explode. I still havent gotten over her debut article on ESPN NY where she asked the insipid question about who the Football kings of NY are.

Hi Max;

Ramma Poopa here. I have taken Mr. Cimini's position working remotely from Delhi.

I would like to start a partnership with JetNation but must warn you due to my religion I wont be able to take part in the JN BBQs or JN Mod Lounge rear entry violations. Other than that I look forward to working with you.

So the whiny, know-nothing **** who routinely copied posts from JI and JN and quoted them in his blog and articles as being from "sources" is no longer working for a newspaper but is trying to desperately keep his career alive by going to work for a website?

:yawn:

Cimini is stupid but so is this. He's jumping off the page and onto the web for the same valid reasons as any number of actual journalists.

Are you his brother or something? Of course he is moving to the web because that is the smart move professionally.

The point is that Cimini isn't very good at his job.

You should learn to communicate your point more clearly then, because nobody else in the whole world understands 'smart' to be synonymous with 'desperate.'
