Gifted athletes should forget about school and look to the Big Leagues. Or should they? Sound off in part one of the three part series, Education and Professional Sports.

With 8:17 left to play in Dallas, Deron Williams hit a jump shot that put the Jazz up 76-60, giving fans hope that the Jazz had finally beaten one of their demons: winning the second game of a back-to-back on the road.  Unfortunately, in the 8:17 that followed, the Jazz blew the lead and had [...]

What to do with Carlos Boozer? That is a question that is no doubt on the mind of KOC and Greg Miller every second of their waking existence (and it probably haunts their dreams too). Everyone knows the awkward situation that is facing Jazz management right now, and I for one am not at all [...]

The Jazz were midway through their collapse. They had been knocked out, but were still about to take a few punches before the fight was stopped. Dallas had come from 16 points behind in the fourth quarter to tie the game when the ball was knocked out of bounds, a timeout was called, and the [...]

There I was sitting, giggling and telling everyone that we were finally going to win on the road on a back-to-back!
Just then, part way through the 4th quarter with the Jazz up 13 Dirk Nowitzki’s statline appears on the screen.  “Wow, Dirk only has 11 points.  He’s not the guy you want to get hot,” [...]

When is enough, enough?  For the first time in my 3 years as a Jazz season ticket holder and 25+ years attending games, I left before the final buzzer sounded against Houston.  I always stay to the end win or lose – if only to watch the 11th and 12th man get some play time. [...]

Aloha from beautiful Hawaii.  It’s my second day on the islands and my second day of rain.  Conversely, it sounds like the weather’s been quite nice in Utah.  I suppose Hawaii’s tourist industry can blame me for allowing the damp weather to follow me here.  Oh well… even the rain is pretty nice in Hawaii!
Well fellow [...]

Dear Jazz:
Why? Why, why, why? Why do you play a great game for 36 minutes, build a 16 point lead, and then let a guy score 29 points on you in the fourth to fuel a 27 point turn around? Why was Memo Okur with his bad ankle and bad knee forced to guard Dirk [...]

Recently they have been awful. Going back to last year, including the playoffs, the Jazz have a win/loss record of 4-14 in their last 18 games. Two of those wins have come at home against the Clippers.

I know it’s a cheesy title. I didn’t want to start this blog that way, but after watching the game, I really didn’t feel I had a choice. In a game where not a lot went right – I saw one area that went horribly wrong.  While the Jazz didn’t play well in any area, [...]

Tonight I had the great…honor?…of attending my first game this season. 
A little ways into the first quarter I leaned over to the guy sitting next to me, pointed at this lurpy strawberry blonde haired kid on the court and said, “Hey, who’s that guy?” 
“I don’t know,” the fellow fan replied, “but he looks like Dirk [...]
