The No Jazz On TV Blues

Posted by Annie Whittaker on October 30, 2009

I have a great life.  I’m healthy and happy and have a great family.  I have food to eat, I have a home and cars to drive.  I even have a television.  I’m very lucky.  I realize all of this…I really do.
I’m merely expressing my disappointment in an inevitability that I must have suppressed, because [...]

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Jazz team scrimmage the other night. Here are some of my thoughts after being there…Letterman style.
The Top Ten Best Things About Being at the Jazz Team Scrimmage
10. Kosta and Fes-Improved since last year at this time, still buttery-fingered. This is endearing to me [...]

Booing is Moot

Within the range of the airwaves of the Wasatch Front, there are a handful of sports radio stations.  I think most of us know which one to listen to when we want to hear informative, realistic commentary on the Utah Jazz.  And then there is the other station, where you can listen if you want [...]

Dodgeball-Childhood Trauma Revisited

When the Deron Williams/Kyle Korver charity tournament first came to my attention, the first reaction was traumatic flashbacks to third grade.  You see, I was a third grader in a split 3rd/4th class.  The fourth graders were bigger and meaner, and they had previous dodgeball experience.
Fast forward to now.  I volunteered to be part of [...]

Jazz Golden Oldies

Back in the olden days of Jazzbots, a group of nervous, excited, perhaps a little clueless pioneers sat around “the big table” and found out just what a Jazzbot actually is.  As we talked, a common remembrance of at least half of the group was an advertising product from the Utah Jazz.
I was in elementary [...]

Dodgeball? I’ll Take It.

Finally, some Jazz related news!  It’s related, not specifically about basketball but I’ll take dodgeball involving Jazz players.  Every day when I’m in the car I scan the sports radio searching for something, anything even slightly NBA related.  Alas, the only thing nationally is baseball and football, and the majority of the local talk involves [...]

The Jazz: A Microcosm for Life

While talking with one of my teammates at a basketball game the other day, I thought of the different aspects of team sports that can be used and applied to work and family life.  Behaviors that contribute to happiness and well-being such as teamwork, picking yourself up after a loss, hard work, practice etc.  As [...]

Ronnie Price: Mr. Opportunity

This week on local sports radio 1320 am, on David Locke’s program, we got to hear from Ronnie Price.  I was so impressed again by this player.  When asked about his playing time (or lack thereof) last year, he was humble and tactful.  He didn’t throw anyone under the bus, he didn’t start any rumors [...]

A Different Kind of Bootcamp

The summer months not only herald the arrival of the drama of off-season draft picks and trade rumours within the NBA, they also portend an opportunity to become part of a very integral segment of the Utah Jazz community.
Last week I spent some time at the JazzFIT Bootcamp, offered by the Nu Skin Utah Jazz [...]

One More Jazz Trade Rumour

So this might just resemble something near to a post about trades, salary caps and the Jazz.  I usually leave that kind of talk up to our specialists in that department; of which I do not belong.  But in this case I’ve just got to give it a go.  I heard on the radio that [...]
