Remember when Derrick Favors carried the Jazz on a busted up back and one good leg to a playoff series win against the Clippers while Rudy was hurt? I sure do.
A lot of Romney detractors out there, but I am not one of them. Having the dignity to call it a day and let a new generation take over as he approaches 80 is the kind of classy move I appreciate about Mitt. I wish others would do the same.

He was a McDonald's All American who had a heart attack last summer. Offering some grace to the kid as he gets back seems warranted.
He also shot well and athletically tested like a freak. Early second round pick is fully defensible.
With a few seconds left and the game in hand, we snuck the kids up to the front to snag a pic with The Sheriff,

Hunter had a broken laptop. He attempted to exchange it for a water bed, but when financing didn't come through, he abandoned the laptop. The water bed retailer then sold it to Rudy Giuliani in exchange for Donald Trump's SEC Championship Ring.
Lyman got clobbered along the Wasatch Front.
Davis: Cox + 10,153

Utah Co: Cox + 7,782

Total current margin for Cox statewide:

This was a regional candidacy in a statewide race.

All this slander of Gobert. My goodness. He stopped so much penetration. Our perimeter defense was stunningly bad. He helped on everything because it was a layup line otherwise.

So many great Jazz memories. Whatever you choose, I hope you find ultimate fulfillment and meaning for you and your family. Thanks for all you did for Utah.
Now onto voting. Chair Axson thanks delegates for staying late, says to anyone who calls convention system outdated or a sign of dysfunction, he says, this is a sign of nearly 4,000 delegates willing to "do the work"

Still not working. Perhaps if you're going to demand account merges, you could test it before it breaks the game for thousands of people. My boys are massively frustrated. You've failed your fans, horribly.
With a closed primary, anyone voting for Cox in Tuesday's election identified as Republican on their voter registration.
If expanding the appeal of the GOP to more voters makes you think the election will be "stolen", your candidate's message is too narrow for statewide office.
Donβt let RINO Cox steal the election with crossover votes. If you live in Utah this is a crucial election. Phil Lyman is the only candidate who can save Utah from becoming California.

Outside of Kessler, the player assets were marginal. The picks could be nice - see Keyonte George. But yeah, the trade was not nearly as lopsided as some have suggested.

I think the part of the Lyman campaign that will make regular primary voters scratch their heads most is this constant refrain of, "We are going to save Utah", as though we live in some hellscape on the verge of destruction.
@AndrewDBailey
There's no legit way to guard someone without the ability to reliably count steps, and interpret the hand under the ball as anything other than terminating the dribble.
Nobody wants to listen to the old heads, but it's eroding the beauty of the game I love.
@Tjonesonthenba
I've been biased all along. You can't find rim pressure like he brings in many places in the league. With the improved passing and solid 3 pt shooting, his deal makes him an absolutely insane value.
@AndrewDBailey
Y'all young ones just don't understand the post-up big man's burden. Part of why 4s aren't much of Power Forwards anymore - how many players you want getting fouled on the block with no call, when they can just stand in the corner and shoot 3s instead?
Multiple County Council seats, independent elected offices, and the County Mayor up for election. Legislative seats at stake. What's the Chair of the Salt Lake County Party doing? Attacking his own Party's Governor.

I will never stop defending Gobert in the playoffs in that Utah LAC series. Utah had 3 point shooters who played awful D. Wolves have dudes who play both ends. So different.

It's funny. I see his face. Tony, he looks pissed. Like, he's legit not happy even though he's had a monster 4th quarter. He's a competitor. Mad the game got away.

Hurling an endless stream of adjectives to try to stir people up against "nice" Republicans & relentless criticism of efforts to tone down the vitriol in public discourse.
The subtext here seems to be that kindness is bad in politics.
You can be kind and principled.
Utah struggles with a unique battle, convincing Utah Republicans that our opposition is not democrats, but rather, RINO, Uniparty, establishment βRepublicansβ.
Many good, principled Utah Republicans just canβt believe it. Our state has been hijacked by βniceβ RINOs. Like Iβve

Gobert is a world class teammate. If he were honest:
"The tape will show that I had to help defenders who fail to move their feet, which leads to kick out threes, and no one available to rotate."
I love school choice. 14 years seems like plenty of breathing room after the referendum to re-start the conversation. Consider: the kids in Kindergarten during the debate have all graduated now.
What's this? Oh nothing. Just Phil Lyman reposting someone comparing Governor Cox to the Gadianton Robbers.
What's that? It's a secret society in the Book of Mormon most famous for being a satanic criminal organization with secret oaths established to murder, rob, and plunder.
Elections have consequences.
We now know what itβs like to have a crypto-democrat governor, a swamp creature congressman, and an absolute impostor of a senator.
Now is the time to get the Gadiantons out of office.

Young guns get absolutely ecstatic about the offensive skill-level in the NBA. But the ability to guard in the post against bigs has largely vanished. Jokic makes teams pay for it. Good for him!
Rudy averages 8 field goal attempts per game, 19th among centers in the NBA. 11 of those 19 score fewer points per game than Gobert.
Quin is full of crap.
Quin Snyder: "I don't know if we can be any more committed to getting Rudy the ball than we are. And I know that's something he appreciates." Gobert was 8-11 on both FGs & FTs for a season-high 24p. Quin said the Jazz still have to be discerning about the passes they make to him.
His party hated him. Regarded him as traitor. He disagreed with his party for several years, critical of their leader. He entered the "political wilderness." But his party needed him when his party's leader was proven inadequate for the job.

Nervous. I nearly washed last year clean from my memory. Still, I have this belief that offensive line play has more to do with QB success than talent at the position. If BYU can run block, Bohanon and Retzlaf should be good enough to get BYU 6 wins.
