Welcome
Hello there.
If you’re reading this, there is a good chance you have come across my writing or podcasting work on the New York Jets.
I decided to begin this new venture because I wanted a venue to share my thoughts on things that aren’t directly related to the Jets.
Now I understand my audience. If you were interested enough to come here, you probably enjoy my Jets commentary. You might not be very intrigued to hear what I have to say about my other interests outside of the game. My plan here is to focus mostly on non-Jets football, although I might venture into other sports at times. I do have a big interest in sports media and the profound changes taking place right now in the way games are presented so there will likely be content on that. You might even have to cope with me going crazy and writing about hockey, but that’s as far as I intend to go. I have little interest in moving into non-sports territory.
Beyond that I don’t have many firm plans. One thing I’ve learned through the years when I set out on a new venture is not to make promises. Sometimes things seem like a great idea on paper but don’t work out because I’ve either overestimated the interest level or found I don’t have the passion to continue once I’ve begun. Sometimes things you expect to be mundane evoke a lot of passion, like an article built around the seemingly common sense proposition of not running your passing attack through a backup slot receiver.
A few months back 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked whether he could guarantee that starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would be on his roster that Sunday. He replied, “I can’t guarantee that anybody in the world will be alive Sunday, so I can’t guarantee who will be on our roster on Sunday.” I’d like to think of a more elegant way to convey similar sentiments on this project. I don’t know where this is going to go.
Don’t worry. My focus will primarily remain on the Jets on my existing platforms. I will publish sporadically here in my free time. I’m not sure what the frequency will be. I’m not sure whether this will turn into a place with a bunch of non-Jets football breakdowns similar to those I currently produce or whether this will go in a completely different direction. You might not enjoy this as much as my work on my current platforms. Heck, you might actually like it better.
No matter where this goes, I thank you for taking this journey with me.
