    RIP Jerry Sloan

    I have several memories of Coach Sloan. WAY back in 1998 when I was a graduating from the "U" a PhD student and a group of 3 or 4 of us were working on legislation that reduced the Federal budget by $100 million or so dollars once it passed. We were working on generating support with our...

    Man Up! Malone tells one of the young bigs...?

    This is the attitude that led me to be a huge Jazz fan in the Stockton to Malone era. I'm so happy that we have Karl back and he's challenging these kids to have the same kind of heart he used to show every night!

    This Gave Me Chills.....

    https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsjazznotes/56628077-62/favors-malone-jazz-bulk.html.csp If this is true and Malone has spent the better part of 2 months with Favors then I for one am pumped. What an opportunity for Favors and what a great way to leverage the relationship with Malone. Huge...

    Gordon Hayward, Enes Kanter, and Derrick Favors EQUALS Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish

    Bird is one of the best players to ever play the game. His ability to hit the clutch shot, heck, any shot was legendary. Bird was drafted in the NBA draft, the year before he came out! Think about that for a second. Hayward is a nice player, but he is nothing compared to Larry Legend. I...

    Yes!!! Trey Burke!! Don't Mess This Up Corbin!!! What A Day

    I'm exceptionally pleased with this pick. He appears to be a "high character" guy and most likely will become the team leader. It's been a long time since I've been on here but with Sloan coming back, Malone working out Favors and now a Burke it feels like the Jazz have finally come out of the...

    The Dark Knight Rises

    I like it as well but few will argue that the 2nd wasn't the stronger film of the series. Personally, it was a bit much for me and I loved the first and third one for the focus on Bruce Wayne's own demons, however, as much as I feel that way, the 2nd movie was the best super hero movie of all...

    The Dark Knight Rises

    I have to admit that the whole Bane/Talia thing was done in a clumsy way and Bruce Wayne's rehab didn't have any weight to it, but other than those items, I think the movie will go down as a high quality movie. The 2nd movie was just so freaking good that I think it makes both the 1st and the...

    Better starting 5 poll.

    Favors needs to start and needs to get 35 minutes a game. Hayward needs 35, Burks needs 26, and Kanter needs 20 minutes or 6 fouls whichever comes first. Anything less is completely unacceptable.

    Is AK worth $10 million?

    I'm in the camp of it appears to be a very small minority of people who feel that AK is a unique talent who's potential wasn't maximized in Utah. I think the combination of D-Will and Sloan pushed him into his shell... You can argue that he's a pro athlete and he needed to have thicker skin...

    Infidelity

    Candrew you ask how posters would handle this and I have to say we have seen some wide variations of decision making in what has to be one of the toughest situations a person would ever encounter. My concern would be for your brother-in-law's mental health and sense of self. Is that intact...

    If you were Ty Corbin...

    First, Corbin needs to get in the official's face, Harris is getting mugged out there. Next he needs to take his foot and break it off in every player's butt and see how they respond. The ones that sulk we need to just ditch.

    Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson Appreciation Thread

    While I have at times been frustrated by certain aspects of Sloan's coaching, I am very sad to see him go this way. Jerry did a phenominal job in the years directly post Stockton and Malone and his system is without doubt a very successful system that produced high quality results for almost a...

    The Truth About One Brow and His Connection to Aint Nuthin

    I have known both Write4u and One Brow for several years from almost the beginning of Jazzfanz and all I can say is this makes me feel very sad. I feel badly that write4u would feel compelled to do all of the above to confront One Brow and I feel bad that One Brow had to get a phone call from...

    Breaking News: Melo Reports to Denver Media Day

    Tom, I have read your stuff and appreciate your contributions here, for those of you who doubt him, he is a bona fide journalist. Now, that being said, are you freaking kidding me!?!? You seriously think that Deron relegated AK to a role player? I have been a huge AK supporter, but here...

    Hypothetically, if we brought back Stockton and Malone...

    Okay, I'll take the bait. Both of them would struggle. If you remember, Stockton's last few years he didn't play much defense and got lit up by guys like Marbury. Paul, Wall, Rose, and any quick point guard would blow by him. At this point, on defense Stockton would be a huge liability. On...

    Tax Cuts

    I think we have hit the stage where idealogy is put into the real world and the place for "multiple histories" and sustainable economic environments is not possible because it requires too much of a risk for established people. The status quo is too easy and the alternative is all conceptual...

    Tax Cuts

    Those are some very interesting points. To be frank, I'm not a John Locke scholar, however, his philosophy was a major influence on many of the founding fathers and still finds students today. I guess the point where I am is I think society is ready for the next step forward, and I don't...

    Tax Cuts

    NAOS, thank you for your service. Teaching is a very diffifult profession and I know I could not do it. I agree with you on a number of things, however, I do have a major problem with the amount of money we pay in taxes. I have 3 central problems. 1. While I agree that institutions are...

    The Mailman Talks Stock, HOF, AJ, Favorite Memories

    I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I just find it interesting the level of incongruency people have in their life. For the record, I wasn't trying to be a jerk or trying to be over the top, I was serious in wanting to know how far your morality test applied in your business transactions.
