    Rock & Cimini, those 2 seem to have most of the updates though Hutchinson has his moments.

    I Hate Cimini and Cannizaro because there is always an underlying negativity to almost everything they write.

    It seems they are both lazy and just parrot back what is said in the Press Conferences (which is becoming an obsolete role because we can download the press conferences, etc., in their entirety sooner than they can file their "story"). That's why they hate Tangini, who never give them exciting "quotables". It forces them to actually do some WORK like a real journalist.

    I voted for Hutch. I know, he occasionally predicts/declares something that we eventually find out was COMPLETELY wrong, but the tone of his articles is generally less negative and more neutral.

    Tom Rock for me. He seems like a level headed realist who does not put his own agenda ahead of the actual facts of a story.

    I like Rock, I voted for Hutchinson. I'd like Cimini better if he wasn't always on such a downer about everything. It's like reading articles by Br4dw4y 5ux on his period.

    Happy to see Hutch get recognition for his work. Notice how MOST of his columns last season stated the "Person of Anonymity". He knows how to get the scoop and sends it to us.

    I like Rock solely because he uses his blog almost 24/7.

    Rock's good spirited attitude and heavy blogging made me vote for him.

    Hutch is very solid and has the best inside scoop.

    Cimini is too negative, complains that Mike T and Manigini don't give him big sexy quotes and ENOUGH ALREADY about Pete Kendall.

    That being said, I read the Daily News everyday, so I end up reading Cimini the most.

    I want to switch over to Newsday, but old habits die hard.

    Cimini seems to know about things before any others and his blog blows aways Rocks. I actually have little respect for Rock. Geez, the guy does not even have the NFL Network. That's like being a political correspondent and not having C-Span. Hutch is also good but I do not read the ledger and I heard him on the overnight with that clown Tony whatever and he sounded like an ass. Also, Cimini is on SNY for the daily show and some Jet stuff
