\"\"<\/a>Rich Cimini has left the NY Daily News and joined the staff of ESPNNewYork.com<\/a>.\u00a0 We are happy for Rich, although the Daily News still has impressive circulation numbers they never adapted well to the rules of new media.\u00a0\u00a0 The writing was on the wall at the Daily News and Rich obviously understood that.<\/p>\n

It is with great pride that we talk about Rich joining the ESPN New York staff.\u00a0 As many of you know, Rich Cimini is a huge fan of http:\/\/JetNation.com<\/a>.\u00a0 We took him under our wing early on and molded him into a blogger.\u00a0 Years ago the thought of Rich Cimini using twitter seemed outlandish.\u00a0 Now under our guidance, he is more than just a newspaper journalist.<\/p>\n

Rich Cimini, you are welcome.<\/p>\n

Back in June of 2005 we lined up Rich Cimini to do his first online chat<\/a>.\u00a0 Although Rich seemed to struggle a bit at first we stuck with him.\u00a0 Rich was not used to the time requirements of the new media world.\u00a0 He would take several minutes to answer each question.\u00a0 When he started at the Daily News the printing press was in its infancy so the delay is understandable.\u00a0 Technology is best served in small doses.\u00a0 Under our guidance he evolved and learned how to respond to questions immediately.\u00a0 Those are the primary skills that Rich parlayed into his blog and twitter.<\/p>\n

Rich Cimini, you are welcome.<\/p>\n

Most sites would have moved on as the mounting criticism grew louder and louder.\u00a0 Not JetNation though, we stuck by Rich because we knew that he could eventually be more than a sports reporter for the Daily Planet.\u00a0 We are so proud of him for reaching his potential.\u00a0 When he was 23 minutes late for a chat<\/a> we said no big deal Rich, we can work past this.\u00a0 He was consistently late<\/a> for these chats but we never wavered.<\/p>\n

Although he stopped doing chats here when the Daily News figured out they should copy us and do them on their own, we still remember what Rich had to say about JetNation<\/a> in November of 2006:<\/p>\n

thanks again for the invite. You guys have the best fans. I mean that.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gotta run, folks. Great questions, as usual. You fans are great, This is still the best Jets website.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So we wish him well and although he will obviously feel an overwhelming need to thank us for everything we have done for him we say Rich Cimini, you are welcome.\u00a0 No thank you is necessary.\u00a0 Just knowing that you spent the past few years scanning our NY Jets football forum<\/a> searching for new article ideas is thank you enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
