Kim Jones says "Hello" to BBI

.

Kim Jones is my favorite

sneaky hot, too

Kim is the best. Seriously one of the better hosts on WFAN if not the best. She should get more of a regular gig, but not sure if she wants it due to other commitments.

.

I look forward to the days when the 2 dooshbags are on vacation in the morning and Kim fills in with a co host

HAHA!

My Fatcesser jokes aside (**ahem**), I think she's very knowledgable and exceedingly pleasant. Always a treat to hear her. A breath of fresh air compared to many of the other douchebag FANdroids (Malussis is death on your ears with his "if you can't play it, talk it" signature line).

I just know that when she was reporting on Penn State football for the Centre Daily Times, the football writers at the Daily Collegian were very critical of her and the questions she asked.

Considering how her career has advanced, I'm guessing it was a lot of BS.

...everyone would be really, really nice.

She's also an excellent journalist who takes the profession seriously. Love the Kim!

Jim Fassel would have a, season kickoff luncheon, at a sports bar in Moonachie, NJ. I can't recall the name. They had a small room, separated from the main dining hall. That's where they seated the coaches and press. Suffice to say, that's where I first laid eyes on Kim Jones. She's as beatiful today as she was then. Her smile commanded the room.

Kim Jones deserves his afternoon spot

I remember when she was first hired by YES and everyone was ridiculing her in her first year covering the Yankee clubhouse, but everyone who ridiculed her had to eat a whole lot of crow because she's one of the best in the sports journalism business

Arrogant and overbearing.

Perfect for the overnight and that's it.

with a nice speaking voice only gets fill in work and a grating, annoying shill like Suzyn Waldman gets a full time gig as color commentator.

He sucks. A total asshole. Tony Paige is the best late night. Nice guy, knowledgeable, good radio voice.

Consensus.

Malussis is terrible as one radio personality can get and Kim is the best.

LOL

is that she wouldn't be getting so much love around here just because of her looks. This board can be real critical, but she really has an easy voice to listen to and is knowledgeable and is not scared to ask a tough question. Haven't heard her talk as much basketball/hockey but baseball/football she is tops. yea the people that were ridiculing her on YES sure must be missing her after a few years of the MM drone.

and I found her commentary after the Sandusky stuff came out to be very thoughtful and on point.

She was obviously very emotional due to her loyalty to her alma mater, but didn't let that prevent her from being realistic about everything that was wrong with the situation, unlike so many other Penn State alums who found themselves in a bizarre state of denial

a welcome breath of fresh air on what is normally the Delhi of AM sports talk radio.

Her skill as a reporter and commentator has absolutely nothing to do with her looks and folks acknowledging she is one of the best in the biz doesn't either.

Agree completely. I remember during that period she was on with Mike almost every day. She did a great job and he let her run with it.

I think she's snarky as hell and kinda sucks.

I'm not sure what's so great about Kim Jones. There are certainly worse options on sports radio. But that doesn't make her great.

Bigfoot. But I'll take the OP's word that this video is of who he says it is.

How the fuck do you accidentally delete a thread?

and she can hold her own. Her voice isn't annoying like most female personalities in broadcasting. She's so much better than Meredith Marakovits, the void is there. Hate her voice.

Most of the calls she gets on WFAN are from guys constantly telling her how lovely she looks. There was that one old guy who wanted her and Jeter to hook up. A lot of ridiculous stuff.

I think her voice is extremely grating and her pseudo-lisp drives me nuts. That coupled with the fact that she feels the need to end every sentence with "I get that."

If you listen to BBKO lance meadow always says "keep things in perspective" ...fucking annoying.

She's more than just a hole.

Wanna make friends on BBI, give us your take on the Penn St scandal, that oughta start you off on the right foot...

[quote] How the fuck do you accidentally delete a thread.

It takes incredible skill. That's all I say.

Seriously, here are two reasons I will always have a special place in my heart for Kim Jones:

1. Back in 2004, when I was writing about the Giants on nj.com, Kim was the one insider who took the time to explain how the whole beat-reporter thing worked. She was totally supportive of what I was doing, and understood early on how blogs (later Twitter) could complement traditional reporting. But more impressive than her vision was that she was so damn nice about the whole thing. There wasn't a trace of condescension toward me - a complete outsider, an IT guy with no access whatsoever and very little to offer the pros. That's pretty special.

2. During that first year of Coughlin, I was in contact with enough reporters to get a sense of their agendas, how they were sourcing their stories, and the level of corroboration they sought before running anything. I'm pretty sure Kim had the strictest standards. I will say, the range was pretty interesting - from, "We're journalists, and we should conduct ourselves accordingly" to, "Get over yourself - it's just football."

I heard that one! Idiotic phone call that I'm sure made Kim uncomfortable.

Or does this belong on the Allred thread?

.

On the radio she is good, not great. But, as a journalist she is among the top in the profession, in my opinion.

if she got a gift basket out of it?

More or less skill than correctly using the quote function?

I'm going with 'Accidentally deleting the thread' has the higher degree of difficulty. Because it requires

1. you click a button requesting the thread be deleted.

2. When it asks if you're sure , you have to click a button that says 'Yes.'

Doing that accidentally is no mean feat.

While correctly using the quote function only requires working knowledge of []s and /s and the ability to type the word 'quote' twice.

camera phone.

Let's just be grateful this thread exists at all.

She's now regretting her words..and cursing Ralph off.

Given BBI, I thought this thread could have gone MUCH worse than it has so far. . .

She's really good as a reporter, haven't heard her much on radio. Big fan when she was on YES because as you said she "is knowledgeable and is not scared to ask a tough question." Very good at what she does/as a sports reporter.

I don't like it because it is overused. Thus, it lengthens threads and requires way more reading if you don't remember what the quote said. I think people would be more narrowly focused if they had to do the quotes manually. There's usually only one or two lines that matter, with the rest being evidence (of things unseen) supporting the conclusion. Whatever is peripheral can be summarized shortly, sweetly, and accurately. Perhaps I am just being crabby and showing my old age.

Wow!

Out her pock chop at the stadium, funny.

She has terrific insight and expresses herself extremely well. She's also an excellent reporter who does what good reporters do - seeks out sources and asks questions. And her on air personality is great. If she has one shortcoming, it's that she tolerates radio partners who monopolize air time, yet have nothing of value to offer. She needs to learn a way to tell these guys to be quiet while she takes over and informs her audience.

Watch this, and know that Michael Kay only eats Pizza and chicken nuggets.

it makes it 19999x funnier.

In a world filled with such incompetence, she is a breath of fresh air. Just a great writer, interviewer, and yes, she is easy on the eyes. Obviously she has been very successful, but it is ridiculous that she is not one of, if not THE top on air personality for the sport. She is that good.

Plz grab my dry cleaning and I'll holla at you in the morn.

I really enjoy hearing her when she fills in on FAN. I wish she had a regular gig.

Oh jeez. Ok, I'm failing badly at BBI functionality. But at least I am providing entertainment!
