I might be in the minority, but I like Kim.
Welp

Improves the chances Odell signs here…
I like this  
HewlettGiant : 12/7/2022 7:33 pm : link
She has a history with the franchise and I respect her knowledge of the NFL and the team
Did NFL Network not renew her contract?  
Sean : 12/7/2022 7:36 pm : link
She had a prominent role. Glad she’s on the Giants beat.
Yes, I like her as well.  
robbieballs2003 : 12/7/2022 7:37 pm : link
Seems like a bug step back though.
She’s the best......  
Simms11 : 12/7/2022 7:38 pm : link
brings some intelligence to the interviews.
Definitely better

than most of the other yahoos on sports radio.
That sort of brings things full circle.

Back when I started blogging around 2003, Kim was on the beat for the Ledger. Of all the reporters around the team, she was by far the nicest and most supportive. She also - along with Garafolo, who joined a bit later - had a sense of how the Internet would transform coverage of the sport.

Kim stuck to traditional journalistic ethics on stuff like anonymous quotes and uncorroborated sources. I respected her approach, and admired her work overall, though I understand her detractors’ point of view as well.

Kim with the Sports Pope was must listen during the PSU child sex abuse scandal.

I thought she left voluntarily but it doesn’t appear she had anything lined up, which surprised me. She’s been making appearances on WFAN and SNY over the past few months.
Good  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 12/7/2022 8:31 pm : link
to see her back as she's top notch.

She's great  
David B. : 12/7/2022 8:35 pm : link
Like her more than most of the beat guys other than Schwartz.
She's pretty cute

That's good news.

Didn't she have a stroke? Probably took time off to rehab. I remember her being interviewed some time after that on WFAN and was told to "Take it easy" for a while.

Apparently it was an aortic dissection?

I agree, Kim is great.
Love Kim she's one of the best in the business  
Stu11 : 12/7/2022 10:11 pm : link
Her shows on the Fan are great, along with Tiki and Tierney they're the best that station has to offer. Her NFL work is top notch.
Always been a fan of her work

“Rome wasn’t built in a day, darling.” What a condescending, arrogant prick and colossal failure of a GM
Awesome.  
Matt M. : 12/7/2022 10:21 pm : link
I'll have to start reading Newsday because I think she's among the best in sports journalism.

As the Penn State scandal broke, there was nobody even close to her reporting on WFAN for Francessa's show daily.

...and from that day forward, KJ was hot on the trail of every story that would bury DG (with good cause of course).
I hope she is healthy and looking forward to a long career covering our team!

Aortic dissection is fucking terrifying. My brother died of that — he basically dropped dead in the street. Basically stopped his heart in just a few seconds. Douglas Adams, the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" author, had one at the gym and was dead before he hit the floor. It's amazing that anyone ever survives it. Kim Jones is incredibly lucky and she knows it.
Always liked Kim  
Biteymax22 : 12/8/2022 7:59 am : link
Was a little shocked when she left NFL Network and didn't jump right to something else, I was actually a little worried it was health related, but doesn't seem to be the case.

Glad to see her back on the beat.
Our beat reporters have been simply non-existent this year  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 12/8/2022 8:13 am : link
Truly bizarre. Being fans of an 8 time NFL Champion in the biggest market in the U.S., we deserve a beat reporter who actually wants to keep the fan base connected. Psyched to see her back.
Glad to see support for Kim Jones  
tommcd66 : 12/8/2022 8:58 am : link
She has always seemed genuine and appreciative of whatever role she has been in. I'll miss Bob Glauber at Newsday, but Kim joining Tom Rock at the paper is a really good thing. Nice move

Yeah basically being at Washington's practice facility at the time with the machinery and skilled personnel there saved her life.
