The Daily News still has not hired a Jets beat reporter nearly two months after Mehta was canned and there haven't been any public job listings for one. They're still getting by with a young guy named Dennis Young, who calls himself a "sports blogger and editor" for the NYDN in his Twitter bio, in the interim - just heard him ask a question in the Saleh introductory presser. I get that it was a terrible team going nowhere at the end of 2020, but now it's the start of a critical offseason - they could trade for Deshaun Watson, for all we know - so when are they going to treat it like the important beat it is and hire a full-timer?

The Daily News laid off 50 percent of its editorial staff 2 1/2 years ago and it cut sports from 30 people to 9. They were already running AP stories for a lot of NY teams that used to have a well-covered beat.

Very good point. Sad. Overall it reflects poorly on Tribune and the hedge fund that's gotten its tentacles around it.

Still, the NFL is the NFL. I'm not asking for them to have a guy who's just dedicated to the St. John's basketball beat 12 months a year.

As long as that ex-deadspin snowflake is running the show, they’d literally rather cover esports

Did Kyle Wagner get fired?

My big takeaway from all this is.... Deadspin is back?
