I learned at a young age that you always take once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, no matter how small. Because, let’s face it, there is a difference between opportunities. Anyway, I’m belaboring my point. The point is that you never say no to an awesome opportunity, no matter what you need to shuffle around, or the degree of [...]
My wife does all of the cooking for our family. It’s not because we’re old fashioned or anything like that, it’s just that I have a complete inability to make food taste good. I can be presented with a recipe and ingredients to match the recipe, but the end result always tastes like road kill. [...]
“Nothing personal, it’s just business”
I hate that phrase. It’s typically used by arrogant people who have an inflated view of themselves, and a very narrow appreciation for the colleagues, customers, instructors, and others who’ve helped them rise to their lofty positions.
Unfortunately, this philosophy is the norm in the professional sports world. Many team executives [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post that briefly mentioned playoff positioning in the Western Conference. I didn’t expound too much on the topic because I said I didn’t want to get too ahead of myself. Well, with only 14 games left in the regular season, its time to start really paying attention [...]
It’s one of the most wondrous times of the year. Productivity in the workplace will decrease dramatically. Interest in basketball and brackets will increase dramatically. And Jazz fans should pay close attention this year. The Jazz own the unprotected pick of the New York Knicks. Currently the Knicks have 9th worst record in the league. [...]
Pencil in a Win! (you fool)
With the Jazz on the road for most of the last couple of weeks, Mrs Jazz and I spent the time in Southern California and attended a gymnastics meet, where our grand-daughter from Washington competed.
We were hoping for some nice weather, but it was in the 60’s and cool, definitely [...]
The Jazz and the NBA are on my mind throughout the day. I think I would be embarrassed if someone was able to read my thoughts and could actually know how much of my time I spend thinking about both. This being said its no wonder that NBA players, coaches and personalities frequent my dreams [...]
I’m a bit of a personal finance junkie. I know, I know, I’m kind of weird. I read finance blogs and books for entertainment. Even more, I enjoy talking about money so much that I’m going to teach personal finance to high school kids for a living.
That last statement should have cued you in to [...]
As many of you know, after next season, the leagues current collective bargaining agreement will end, and many are predicting a lockout by the owners. I recently read an article that estimated that 15 of the 30 teams in the NBA are currently losing money, and the owners are fed up. Of course, ownership of [...]
A bunch of kids is all that stands between the Jazz and a 3-1 road trip. Unfortunately, those kids happen to be the Oklahoma City Thunder. OKC has already knocked off Utah twice this season, and that was before they ripped off their current streak of 16 wins in 19 contests. That doesn’t worry me [...]
I wish to pose three questions about topics that have been on my mind recently.
Is Andrei breaking down a bit down the stretch?
AK has been amazing the past 30-35 games. No one has been more instrumental to the torrid stretch (until this 6-4 bump the past 10) that has brought the Jazz from being outside [...]
Last night I turned from the Mountain to TNT . I try really hard not to turn off games when my team is down, having watched the last few Jazz games, but I just could not watch UNLV finish of my beloved Utes. It has been very difficult to watch the Utes this basketball season, [...]
It’s 6:20 central time on Wednesday, about ten minutes before the Jazz tip off in Detroit. And me? I’m stuck in the detention room with a couple of 6th graders staring back at me. I’ll change their names for the purpose of this blog—let’s call them Taylor and Jake. Taylor didn’t finish his homework, and [...]
The newest Jazzman Othyus Jeffers decided he would wear the #6 this season. By doing so, he became only the 3rd person in Jazz history to wear that number. Will he be the greatest Jazzman to wear that number is yet to be seen. Here is a look at each number worn in Jazz history [...]
Usually I like to make my presence known on the Bot by giving indisputably phenomenal answers as to why the Jazz do (or don’t do) what they do. But today, it couldn’t be any farther from that. Instead, I have a whole slew of questions that I’m needing some answers to.
Like,
-Is Memo really back – [...]
The Jazz have a great little league basketball program – the Jr. Jazz – and I had a great time playing in the program in the early 90’s. More recently, I’ve coached my son’s Jr. Jazz team for the past three years. We’ve just finished the 2010 season, and I’m happy to report that Team [...]
