John 's Bio

John Fennelly is a former Wall Street executive who has forayed into the fields of freelance journalism and documentary filmmaking. He is unofficially credited as a founder of modern day Fantasy Football, having assisted in the development and progression of the game from the early 1980's to its migration to the internet in the mid-1990's.

Based in New York City, he has a degree in Media Studies from Queens College and has been involved in several dozen internet endeavors over the course of the past two decades.

Mr. Fennelly, through several different web ventures has created dozens of successful websites and blogs over the years and currently writes articles and hosts podcasts about classic film and television, politics, professional and college football, baseball, boxing and horse racing.

Mr. Fennelly is also the founder of Willets Point Media and has developed several news, sports and entertainment websites and blogs. www.blogNYG.com is the latest site and is rapidly becoming one of the net's most visited destinations for New York Giant fans. WPM is dedicated to creating ventures and expanding opportunities by capitalizing on the growing convergence of old and new media sources, driving print and electronic media onto the 21st century consumer platform.

In his weblog, Mr. Flushing he lamented about the trials and travails of being a New York Mets fan. After Shea Stadium was leveled, he no longer felt compelled to continue posting.

John is currently writing for the Giants Football Blog - which is part of the SNY family of blogs (www.giantsfootballblog.com). He is also on staff at Big Blue 101 (http://bigblue101.com), the most visited Giants blog on the internet.

John is currently putting the finishing touches on a screenplay "The Last Tough Guy", about the man who killed Dutch Schlutz. He is also producing a documentary about the late Al Gavin, one of boxing's most respected corner men.

    There are some athletes you're not allowed to criticize.

    Michael Jordan. Tiger Woods. Lance Armstrong.

    Sandy Koufax is one of those guys.

    I've always felt he was overrated. I hear people talk about him as the greatest left-handed pitcher of all-time, and I've never agreed.

    I did a little bit of research and this is what I came up with. I would love if you could take a look. I spent more time on this than any article I have ever written in my entire life, and as a result, it is LONG.

    I actually had to trim it a little - evidently articles can't be over 5,000 words - but I like what I came up with. You don't have to read it all, but I would love if you would.

    Thanks.

    You are so right. After they sweep the Phillies they will be calling Jerry Manuel a Manager of the Year candidate. WTF! What else can we stir the troops up with? First I tried trading away the core, then firing Jerry, you got anything new we can sling out to the uninformed? I'm game.

    Hey,

    Chien-Ming Wang collected his 1st win in 379 days. This puts him on pace to reach 300 wins on Oct. 21, 2263. Can it happen? Read why I am not ruling the tall Taiwanese right-hander out quite yet.

    Thanks in advance!
