About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
In a survey of the best NFL fan blogs, Deadspin honors the three best New York Jets sports blogs:
"JetNation.com. You gotta love a football blog that posts nearly every day, keeps tabs on the entire league, uses four writers and says things like: “Herman Edwards is good for handing out Shrek ears.” We’re not sure what that means, but it’s still funny.
The Cockpit. They don’t post as often as we’d like, but they keep a sharp eye out for all things Jets, and exhibit a healthy skepticism that is required to be a Jets fan. Great news site.
The Jets Blog. Worth the trip just for the Fan Confidence Meter alone. The ultimate word in Jets Blogdom, with daily posts, an eye on all Jets media and a green-tinted outlook that may or may not reflect nausea."
JetNation is particularly impressive - just hours after the Jets lost to the Falcons on Monday Night Football, the JetNation blog had a full, position-by-position report card for the Jets. The marks, as might be imagined, were not so good - Coach Herm Edwards, QB Vinny Testaverde and RB Curtis Martin all received F's.
Thanks for the favorable review of our site and specifically mentioning my report card. We strive to keep things current from the fans' point of view. Hope to see you around the site. Take care.
