Turning in my Jazz fan card

Dude, no offense, but nobody cares that an anonymous guy named The Norm isn't going to post here anymore. Especially when the reason he's not going to post is because he isn't going to be a fan of this team anymore. Once next season rolls around and you realize you still love the Jazz, please post under a different name. Nobody can ever respect anything The Norm has to say here again.
 
You just want attention. You'll be here, and once the Jazz are good and fun again you'll act like nothing happened.
 
I won't bitch you out but if you bail ship this early then peace. Jazz for life.
 
I'm with you, The Norm, save your money and time. Maybe you can take up crocheting, basket weaving, or just a plain old sex change operation. You whiny little bitch, you.


(I stopped watching them two years ago)

I watch the Jazz for entertainment purposes. Corbin's "offense" and rotations aren't entertaining to me, but the Jazz owners fully support him and nothing is going to change. No further explanation needed.

Seeya guys. You were all great fun.

You're no loss if you're that fickle. Peace out then.
 
so 80 games is where the line is drawn? this is like finding a girl you don't like and spending your whole life with her, then a few weeks before you die saying "sorry babes, you just aren't right for me"
 
I used to care this much about the Jazz:

|_______o_______|

Now I care this much:

|__o__|

The keyword: care.

Yes, I still do give a damn...unfortunately, that'll never go away. Jazz 4 life!! Atleast my Seahawks are in position to finally bring me happiness for once. 20 weeks until football starts!! GO SEAHAWKS!

To bad that the juggernaut that is the 49ers are standing in the way of that joy and happiness, maybe you should try Baseball lol.
 
But things are just getting exciting!! Playoff push, PLAYOFF PUSH!!

I used to get really emotionally invested too. Through the years, I've learned to let it go. I feel nothing now after a loss. Unless we're playing playoff games, then that's a different story.
 
It's win or go home time!!!! you don't run when your team needs you the most ... grow a pair and help us!!
 
While I don't see myself following Norm just yet, I don't blame him for feeling that way either. Jazz play about 4 times a week. - that's 10 hours right there. Then there's reading articles, box scores, watching pre/post game shows. Altogether you're talking about 15-20 hours a week. That's a huge investment for an adult male. That's more time than people who claim they're religous spend at church; people who claim they're a good parent spend with their children; or people who claim they're a good husband spend with their wives.

I'm still really excited about The Jazz' young players. But the bottom line is this franchise is driven by 3 people: Greg Miller, Dennis Lindsey and Tyrone Corbin. Two of them are not where they are today based on merit - they fell *** backwards into their position and under normal circumstances would be nowhere near the position of responsibility that they're in. I'm more than convinced Greg Miller would probably be an Assistant Manager at Costco if it wasn't for his father and if it wasn't for Sloan and Johnson jumping off the cliff together Tyrone Corbin's main responsibility would revolve around collecting basketballs after practice.
 
I find myself caring more about the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Nuggets than us this year. And the Twolves healthy. Hope this changes, but if not, c'est la vie.

Somehow I doubt it. They won't ever be able to run a coherent half-court offense with Coach Corbin. They'll win enough to be a playoff team, but wasting most of their rookie contracts will prevent it from being much more than that, and you can't count on at least two of them leaving as soon as they can. They aren't going to forget those early years wasting away on the bench behind inferior talent.

.....Norm makes some very good points here! Fact is I watch basketball because I like the sport. Not for entertainment purposes (you want that then watch the Globetrotters, right?) but to see professionals execute the game the way it was intended to be! However, todays NBA is a joke. You can palm the ball, blow by your man and dunk the basketball with impunity. The way the Jazz used to be constructed they were a joy to behold! Crisp passing, finding the open man, scoring with the least amount of energy expended....it was a thing of beauty! Norms point on wasting rookie contracts is dead on! You don't play these guys they are going to walk! But not playing them when they are actually BETTER than the vet clowns on the court....is unforgivable! The Jazz are not going to make the playoffs this year.......why? Lots of factors, but since they are out, why not play the kids and at least see what they can do! The Jazz as currently constructed are a flawed and unwatchable product.

I can see both The Norm and Carolinajazz's points of view ... but seriously why would you bail in the middle of a playoff run? that's like running from a bully ... as fans we need to voice our opinions and expose what we don't like ... if we had like 60,000 people standing outside the ESA chanting Fair Refs!!!!!! I'm sure that they would give it some thought
 
I don't think people think it's pathetic that Norm feels the way he does. Lots of people aren't excited/happy about the season/team and have stopped watching and attending the games. But they don't suddenly "turn in their fan card" to root for another team and make a big attention-whoring post on a fan site about it. I have no problem with people feeling like they don't want to get emotionally invested in the team anymore and choose to do other productive things with their time. But "turning in your fan card," changing teams, and posting a goodbye message here? That's what is the pathetic part.
 
I was never really a big fan of The Norm in the first place.
 
Loyalty. It's all about Loyalty... not Dwight Howard Loyalty, But real Loyalty.

one of America's most truly distinguised philosophers, Josiah Royce, once said,

Loyalty is for the loyal man not only a good, but for him the chief amongst all the moral goods of his life, because it furnishes. . . him a personal solution [to] the hardest of [all] human . . .problems, the problem: "For what do I live?"

Loyalty
