I’ve got a new nickname for Carlos Boozer, and he’s not going to like it. In contrast to the rain, sleet or snow blue collar work ethic of Karl Malone, the Jazz’s famous Mailman, I’ve starting calling Boozer “The Businessman” for his (I cringe to say it) selfishness.  It kinda fits, doesn’t it?
I have a [...]

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m an “8-5′er”. I work Monday through Friday every week, and I get two weeks vacation time to use when I feel so inclined. I know people with much lighter work schedules, and others who have to work the graveyard shift. Although it’s unfair to expect perfection from [...]

There are many questions to be answered by the Jazz on the basketball court this year: Who will start at power forward? Who will win the backup point guard job? Will Deron make the All-Star Team and win the assists title?

There comes a time in every person’s life, a time to pout, to stomp one’s feet and spit back in the face of authority.

I don’t remember the exact formula (apparently). I would like to see how the team shakes out using that formula. Are you strong enough in [...]

Farewell Larry Miller.

Aaaaggghhh! The Booz Hound is Back!!! Yes, I am excited, I am stoked, I am euphoric, I’m in love (ok too far). This is the team that we have been waiting all year to see. We have been through injury after injury after injury, and through a whole lot of disappointment, and now with [...]

I was at a Mardi Gras parade Friday night, pushing my way through the crowd in an effort to catch beads from one of the masked float riders, when I felt my phone vibrate with a message from my brother: Larry Miller passed away today.
Something inside me—inside all Jazz fans, I’m sure—was broken at that [...]
