  1. For basketball, its easily John Stockton. For football, its Frank Gore. For baseball, its Derek Jeter. For soccer, its Kyle Beckerman.
  2. Did they just get called for roughing the passer?
  3. Randal Cobb has signed a one year deal with the Cowboys.
  4. I always have two problems when I fill out a bracket. One, I always pick Duke to win it all. Last time I didn't pick Duke, was the last time they actually did win it all. Two, I always pick whatever university from Utah made it, to go far. Luckily, I some how managed to convince myself that Utah State won't beat North Carolina, but I just couldn't go against Duke this year.
  5. Kareem Hunt has been suspended for 8 games.
  6. A different Jazz fan has started a GoFundMe to raise $25,000, the same amount Westbrook was fined, to donate it to to Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Plus our owner gave a pretty heartfelt message before tonights game about coming together as a community to never let this happen again. So, if nothing else comes out of it, at least it is nice to know that most people out there aren't like that one "fan" and want to change the world for the better.
  7. Agreed, @damsher hatfield. It makes no sense to me. Especially since the Jazz's best two players are people of color. I'm glad that the fan has been banned for life and I hope that with all the talk going on about it, any other fans saying the same or similar things, will suffer the same fate. It has no place in this world, especially at a sporting event. As a fan of over 20 years, I would hate to have a player not want to come here because of some stupid crap that a fan said in the arena. This isn't the first time something like this has happened here in Utah, but hopefully, its the last.
  8. Umm...no...he should and did get fined because he threaten to beat up to fans. Yes, what the fan said was wrong, but threatening to beat up a fan is wrong too. And since he did get fined, guess I'm right.
  9. Kinda of an intense moment in Utah last night. A fan was taunting Russell Westbrook all night, at one point telling him to get back on his knees where he belongs. Westbrook confronted the fan, telling him that he would fuck up both him and his wife. Pretty classless from both sides. The "fan" needs to be banned for life and Westbrook should be handed down a fine. Edit: The so-called fan has been banned for life and Westbrook has been given a $25,000 fine. The fan has threaten to sue Westbrook and is claiming he did nothing wrong.
  10. Just reading the word RimWorld makes me want to forget everything I'm doing and waste the next month playing it.
  11. Personally, as a fan, if I paid money to go to a game between two high profile teams, only to find out an hour before that one of those teams was resting its star players, I would be pissed. So, I don't see a problem with the NBA handing out punishments in that case.
  12. I doubt it. Different circumstances. Pels wanted to rest Davis cause he didn't want to play there. Pop got threaten cause he did it during a major prime time game. I don't remember the Grizz or Mavs doing anything last year. But I don't think the Lakers putting Lebron on a minutes restriction or not playing him in back to backs really warrants a punishment. With the miles on Lebron's age and them not able to make the playoffs this year, it does kinda make sense to limit what LeBron does the rest of this year. It just makes me laugh cause of what Lebron said last week and because you would never have seen Jordan or Kobe do this.
  13. I'm calling it now, the Lakers "win" the lottery for the number one draft pick.
  14. The Lakers have put Lebron on a minutes restriction and won't play him in back to backs from here on out. Never seen that done for a player that is healthy. Usually just players coming off injury.
  15. Alex Trebek has announced that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
  16. Quill18 has done a couple series of him playing Football Manager the last few years. IIRC, he went in to it with a very limited understanding of how the game worked, and with the help of his viewers, learned how to play it. Was entertaining to watch.
  17. I've spent money here and there on a few games. I think I spent $20 on Clash of Clans once. Usually just five bucks but it's very rarely I'll do it more than once every few months. The people that spend hundreds of dollars every day just to play the game are crazy.
  18. I play Clash of Clans and have been every day for something like four years. I've also played Marvel's Contest of Champions but am not currently active. I mainly like games that I can hop on for a few minutes here and there, usually don't have to have my sound on, and don't have to take super serious.
  19. I don't understand how a coach can watch his team blow a 17 point lead, not score for over 6 minutes, and not make any adjustments or substitutions.
  20. Sounds like the Lakers are just waiting for the end of the season to make a change. I'm sure they will bring in somebody next year who is more Lebron-friendly. Or LaVar Ball.
  21. At the moment, they are one of the best teams in the league. First team to clinch a playoff spot, probably will be the first team to win 50 games, were on a seven game winning streak. And the Jazz beat them! Ha! Hey, let me take my victories when I can. As much as I would love a Jazz/Bucks Finals, it's just not going to happen.
  22. Did the Jazz just beat the best team in the NBA? Yes. Yes we did.
  23. The GOAT goalkeeper, Nick Rimando has announced that this will be his last season.
  24. True. A veteran presence with that kind of experience is always nice.
