I follow a number of Jazz social media personalities. I don't personally interact with them, but based on reading a number of exchanges have reached some conclusions. I'm curious what your interactions with them have been and/or how your view them and if I may be off base on my perceptions...

Those of us who didn't buy all in to the "but the schedule" explanation for poor Jazz showings are, I imagine, feeling some sense of vindication at this point given how the team has been trending recently (not that we're taking any satisfaction in it). The same problems vexing the team during...

Ok, I'm too depressed to talk basketball today. So, here's something I've long wondered. I was reading about the woman who has accused Carolina Panther owner Jerry Richardson with sexual harassment, and this fits the common pattern of old/overweight/unattractive men who sexually harass...

I may be in the minority, but I think the city uniforms are ugly. They are too busy, have too many colors, and are reminiscent of the 70s era Houston Astros uniforms (that's NOT a compliment). I am not opposed to an argument that the Jazz should adopt the city uniform color scheme, but only if...

So, it turns out that yet another family values Christian type has been revealed incapable of keeping it in his pants: https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/08/pat-summit-s-son-quits-as-women-s-basketball-coach-after-affair-with-player.html Makes one wonder whether, given the number of...

To help take my mind off last night's disastrous game, and ease my black depression as a result, I've decided to take up a lighter topic--torture. Here is a short article on the subject at Vox.com: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/31/11337738/torture-poll. Let me be on the record to say that I...

Here is a link to a very interesting article at Vox that takes an academic (more or less) approach to explaining the appeal of Donal Trump. Basically, Trump appeals to a strong authoritarian streak among certain of the US population, which as been abetted by years of Republican positioning in...

Ok, so after a grand jury investigation Planned Parenthood has been cleared of any wrong doing with regards to the tapes that came out some months back purporting to show PP engaging in elicit sale of fetal body parts, among other things. But, in an unexpected twist, the Grant Jury indicted the...

Here's a link to an article on the topic and how the marines are leaning against it. I'm curious how others feel about this. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/women-marines-combat-jobs_55fc1392e4b08820d9183dd6 I see women in frontline combat roles as an inevitability given the logic of...

I'm among those who are less than thrilled with this trade. Truth be told, I'm utterly bummed out we got so little in return for Kanter. So, to cheer myself, and perhaps some of you up, I'd like to highlight something that's good about this team. Mainly, Gordon Hayward. There are still some...

First, this is for those of you who thought we should just let Hayward go and sign Parsons. This was a naive wish from the start. IF you think Parsons is as good or better than Hayward, then why would you think he'd come at a substantially lower price than Hayward? It also demonstrates the...

From what I understand, the corner 3 is the highest percentage 3 point shot and is integrated into the offensive game plans of many (if not most) team in the NBA. I don't know how many times I've sat in the ESA and watched team after team torch us on corner 3's, particularly the drive and kick...

No not THAT D Williams, the other one, Derrick. Chris Broussard, ESPN.com: “One of the teams Utah has talked to about Paul Millsap is Minnesota. The name of the very available Derrick Williams came up.” Actually, I don't mind this--I'm not necessarily thrilled with it, but I could live with...

You heard it here first. The Jazz will not trade either Jefferson or Milsap this year. They may make a trade, but it won't involve any of their frontline players. They will ride out the season with the status quo, resign Milsap in the offseason, and let Jefferson go or arrange some kind of...

Here is an interesting article https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/14/mormon-singles-lds-singles-wards-marriage_n_1875524.html?ref=topbar. Even the LDS Church cannot escape the inevitable march of social change, as much as it wants to envelope its membership in a pre-1960's cultural and...

Any of you see this bit about Kanter? Scroll down a bit, and you'll see it: https://saltcityhoops.com/. Holy six-pack batman, the guy is ripped. For some reason I was thinking he was a bit rolly polly, but boy was I wrong. If I leaned that way, I'd be drooling over this guy (though I'm...

Earlier in the season, I was firmly on the 'trade Jefferson's ***' bandwagon. My main reasons were that when he was in the game, the offense appeared to stagnate. Then there was his putrid defense. Plus, he wasn't the future of the Jazz, Favors was, and as long as Jefferson was on the team...

For the love of all that is holy, good, pure, and right in this world, why the he** is Raja Bell still playing, let alone starting. What kind of strange spell has this garbage player cast over Ty Corbin? Does he have a sex tap of Corbin, a compromising photo, has he threatened Ty's daughter...

I am a Hayward fan but he's beginning to annoy me. The guy is playing so passively. Passes up open shots, doesn't try to take his man off the dribble. Shows no offensive aggressiveness. On top of that, Corbin never runs a play for him. He just gets the ball on the wing, takes a couple of...

This article in the SL Tribune pretty much sums up what I've observed so far this year: https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/jazz/53214395-87/jazz-utah-points-average.html.csp. Bottom line, at some point this season, Jefferson has got to go. I've tended to be a Jefferson supporter--he was one of few...
