    New Year 2025

    Never lived in Utah, but that's pretty silly to allow them all month. Here in Arizona, they restrict the use in the city to about 3-4 days around New Years and July 4. That's better than an entire month, lol.

    Brian Thompson Killing

    I know I'm late on commenting on this, but I had a discussion with a co-worker over the holidays that prompted me to look into United Healthcare's financial information. My co-worker suggested that these healthcare providers were making outlandish profits and that it was one of the primary...

    The Dark Days

    My feelings exactly. I definitely can't watch NBA basketball if it's not the Jazz. They style today just isn't appealing to me. I remember watching basketball as a teenager in the late 90s and getting excited when someone hit a 3-pointer. Now when Keyonte hits one I'm left wondering if he can...

    Young players given critical minutes in the NBA never looks good. The only time it looks decent is when you stick a guy like Knect on this Lakers team and only ask him to do things he's already good at

    Welcome to Election Day 2024,

    That's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Thank you.

    Welcome to Election Day 2024,

    I think you are missing the point. Trump at least had some ideas he was pitching to potential swing voters (I disagree with most of them, specifically increased tariffs). She had NO message, aside from pointing out how bad Trump is. That doesn't resonate with people. When she decided to pitch...

    Welcome to Election Day 2024,

    If you think that his platform was to intentionally vilify immigrants, women, POC, etc., you've lost the plot entirely since he appears to have performed much better with those demographics than republicans have in the past. I'm a 3rd party voter living in a swing state, and I can tell you...

    Welcome to Election Day 2024,

    So the "Democratic Center-Right, Republican-lite" portion of the Democratic party was responsible for the messaging that focused on vilifying their political opponent, instead of focusing on how she was going to make the country a better place to live? Not sure I buy that, but maybe you're right.

    Welcome to Election Day 2024,

    I'm hoping the takeaway is that vilifying your political opponent can't be the core of your message. That message doesn't resonate with as many people as the far-left think that it does. It may actually have the opposite effect. Also, who advised Kamala not to go on the Joe Rogan podcast? To...

    Taylor Hendricks injury thread

    Such a freak accident. I don't understand how you break a bone and dislocate an ankle in a non-contact situation like that. Didn't even seem like a violent movement at all.

    Remember when this franchise has an identity for 20+ years? That's out the window.

    I know that analytically in today's NBA you have to shoot 3s in volume, but it sure is ugly basketball when you are clanking 75% of them.

    Shams: Utah and Lauri expected to agree to long term deal

    So what's the plan for this season? Win?

    Does Lauri Get Traded?

    Not trading Lauri now, or in the very near future, is going to set this franchise on the path to perpetual mediocrity for the next decade. I'm a baseball fan and enjoy understanding the GM side of major league baseball. In MLB, most franchises know who they are. The Yankees and the Rays are...

    What should we ask from Spurs for Lauri?

    He's going to be moved at some point. We had no idea he would be this good when he was a part of the Donovan trade. We basically won the lottery when it turned out he's awesome, except it made our draft position the last couple years a lot worse. Just a shame he doesn't fit the timeline. The...

    FO intentions for the offseason

    I'm finding harder and harder to remain optimistic about this team. I hope Danny proves me wrong.

    Culture of winning or tank?

    I wish I knew what our plan was to get out of mediocrity.
