What Do You Want to See More of on GGN?

Don’t see an email in your contact info. If you want to pass on your thoughts, can you drop me or John an email? (posted in space, just click on my name)

Thanks

Thanks Michael, thats exactly the type of stuff we are looking to hear.

Newspapers don’t really give readers the option to take feedback from their readers, they just follow whatever the editor/paper’s stance on the subject. Or, when all else fails, just resort to negativity! (cough cough, Cimini) But we are lucky enough that we can. So we appreciate you all participating.

We’re going to be expanding a good bit in the offseason, but we want to know what you guys want to see in the future or what you like/dont like about a particular idea. Will be a part 2 poll… as next week, we plan to do just one more poll and see what you all thought of our actual posts (length, topic, etc.). Don’t rip into us too hard, lol…

Nice! Opinionated news/analysis is what we try to provide.

 “interviews” was definitely the early leader but now “freebies” is making a late run now lol. We’ll see what happens in the morning when the AM crowd gets their vote in.

Will say this is good to hear as one of the two is in the works for the very near future…… as it is certainly do-able.

However, I would appreciate more original writing from the GGN staff and fans, and less links to external sources. I know I’m sort of old-fashioned as technology goes, but having to open ten different links to articles, read them, and then come back to the post is really tiring for me. Maybe 3-4 particularly salient and quotable summaries would work rather than 10 one-sentence-with-a-link jobs.
Podcasts are not something I care about (or even know for sure what they are), but video is something I can appreciate. I also like text interviews since I would rather read than listen, but understand that they take a lot of work.
The game threads are something I think could be done differently – in their current format I can’t get interested in them. Maybe it would be better if you had one live chat window for people who want to comment during the game, and then a post-game analysis open thread. (the latter would be of benefit to people who can’t manage to see the game or all of it but want to get more of a fan’s eye view than they would from external recaps). Since I live 7 time zones east of Jets country, the only way for me to watch a day game is to deliberately stay up a large part of the night.
One particularly appealing feature to me is anything about the players and coaches (and past greats) that treats them as more than on-the-field play and stat makers: stuff about their backgrounds, additional interests and activities, anything that makes them more of real people.
By the way, your article about fan blogging was interesting to me, since I live in a country where in both politics and sports, media bias is pretty much assumed, expected, and openly displayed. (Honestly, having worked in the media in the past, I sometimes find that disheartening, but a fan blog is a different issue)

I probably shouldn’t call out Matt in public like this, but how could this have not been an option on the poll?

Interesting suggestion chrebets, never even thought of doing something like that. Will definitely take note of that, know fantasy football is very popular, perhaps a weekly post on a sit em/play em type variety. Also with a pre season one on which Jets players to target etc?? that the kind of thing you are talking about?

Make it a separate section for those interested in fantasy football – because personally I don’t want to see fantasy stuff mixed in with the news, fanposts, and comments.

Yeah, we could definitely look at a adding a fantasy football section somewhere on the site. One question regarding this.

A) Would you rather the info be in typical print article format… OR (idea) a short 2-3 minute audio podcast highlighting who to sit/start? Something short that you could listen to
