K D Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 People still read the newspaper? Extra extra who wants yesterday's news? Come and get your payps!
purple haze Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 (seemed like mostly all grumpy white males) Or overly sanctimonious. New blood is good. I hope she let's her own voice be heard and doesn't get dragged down by the lifers. I hope she sticks around longer than Ty Dunne. He was excellent, and still is.
Buftex Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I was already followng her on twitter. @viccarucci Absolutely thrilled to welcome @KMart_LI to the @TBNSports staff! Tremendous talent and an even better person. Hello!
JohninMinn. Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 She passes the looks test but I'm worried about her toughness.
BillsFan4 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Kimberley Martin, formerly covered NY Jets for Newsday @KMart_BN For those who *haven't* heard the exciting news: I've accepted a sports columnist position at @TheBuffaloNews... Definitely a more diverse reporter than they've had in the past (seemed like mostly all grumpy white males) I've noticed less and less Jerry Sullivan & Bucky Gleason articles and more stuff by the newer guys, which is a very welcome change IMO. They almost seem to maybe be very slowly phasing out the old blood (unless that's just my wishful thinking), or at least mixing in a lot more stuff by the new blood. Hopefully they continue bringing in new writers...
T-Bomb Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 She left Manhattan for Buffalo? Yeah, I'd not live in either location.
MAJBobby Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Whats the over/under on length of time before she falls inline and assimilates into TBN always negative reporting lazy recycled drival?
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 She left Manhattan for Buffalo? Manhattan is the most overrated place on the planet to live. It's cool to say you did the whole "NYC" thing but you just are living like a broke college kid and overpaying for everything. It's amazing! That said, McFadden's is the best Bills bar I've ever been too. And it's nice to have some eye candy reporting on the Bills besides Mike Rodak. Good hire!

I've lived in Buffalo. I love both places. I'm speaking from a career perspective -- it's hard to imagine your career gets a "jump start" when you move from NYC to Buffalo -- particularly when your vocation is entertainment media. Do you disagree?

Do you disagree? My brother went to NYC to start his career in journalism . On paper, it seemed great but that's what everyone in NYC is trying to do. He was told if you really want to become something in the "business" you have to pay your dues in smaller markets and establish yourself first. I have a friend who works in weather and is stationed in Montana. He just had an interview in Buffalo which would be a major jump. Obviously, it's not the same for everyone but Buffalo might be a better chance for her to really establish herself. And I'm sure if she does well, she will move to somewhere else. It's kinda how the field works.
hondo in seattle Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Hopefully she fills the void left by Tyler Dunne (or Larry Felser for the old-timers). I don't read Sully or Gleason except for once in a while by accident. I'll read Vic here and there if my fellow posters tell me he's written an atypically good piece.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 She was already a blogger for the Jets and worked for a major paper. I still find it dubious. I'm would assume it's a bigger role and cash upgrade. I mean if she's getting paid the same as she was in NYC, it is a pay upgrade. But it's just nice to have someone different than the normal Buffalo media member. I hope she's good and I have no doubt she will be better at breaking Bills news than the current media.
Fingon Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Anyone without stick-up-their-butt-itis, aka unlike Jerry Sullivan, is a welcome sight to be covering the Bills. Edited August 3, 2017 by Fingon

She definitely came for a reason. And yes, I hope she adds a refreshed perspective. It will be interesting to see how she compares the Jets and Bills organizations (if she writes about it).
row_33 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Are we allowed to read her columns if she's critical of the Bills? I feel so conflicted...... I miss the afternoon show with The Coach and Art Wander ripping the declining Kelly Era Bills a new one for hours every day on WGR. Nothing in print in 2017 could be close to matching those masterpieces.

T-Bomb Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Which should remind everyone even the great Jim Kelly was called a bum by local fans. Well, he did choke in 4 straight SBs...
row_33 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Which should remind everyone even the great Jim Kelly was called a bum by local fans. Kelly wasn't a target by those two. Marv was. The O-line was ripped.... the fat girls down the street would be better at blocking, the ball was snapped and these guys fell on their back like 2-dollar *****s... Well, he did choke in 4 straight SBs... I see it as being totally outcoached by Parcells and Belichick and then the Bills got mercilessly impaled on a stick to die in the hot sun the last 3.
