So it's going to have to come down to a vote. I'm kind of partial to all of the suggestions. Maybe I just need to make a big run-on name for it like TBLIATWIATNIATU from them. We'll go to the polls... While you're voting, here are your Jazz hits for 24 June 2009

If you think that the Transformers movies have destroyed your childhood memories, wait until GI Joe comes out. That's going to suck.
The Boozer opt-out clock is in full effect.
"Andrei Kirilenko from the Utah Jazz just walked in the studio... He's one ugly dude." - via Ross Golan - He obviously didn't read this article where Masha says that her family is good-looking. AK was with Masha of course. I would love to hear Andrei lay down a hook in one of her songs (is that how it's said?)
After submitting my pick yesterday and reading more articles, I don't think that anyone on any of our wish lists are going to be there at #20. But if Sam Young is still there, which he should be, that's not a bad consolation prize. And with this draft, you can't really be expecting much anyway. At least that's what I'll be telling myself.
So my next idea for a SLCDunk.com t-shirt would be one that would have everyone's usernames on it. No Laker trolls would be on there. You would have tell me, probably through some form I make, whether you want your username on the shirt. You wouldn't have to buy the shirt, you'd just have to let me know if you want your name on it. The fine print on the shirt would read that you pledge your eternal soul to the Jazz and denounce all other teams so that if someone trying to get on just to photobomb the shirt would be at least a bit deterred.

My idea for the design would use Wordle.net with everyone's usernames and SLCDunk in there somewhere. Any feedback for that?

Downbeat is my favorite since it's unique to the Jazz. Starting 5, 5 in the morning, etc could work for any team.

I might have to 2nd that

even though I didn’t vote for it.

Also, I vote for losing the ‘bold’ type.

There was no poll for the bold type!

Yeah, I was trying to emulate the list FanShot option since it’s broken. I’ll drop it.

Oh, sorry.

It just seemed to painful on the eyes, but maybe it was just me. This is good though.

Oh, and when looking at the votes, should it become close, consider my vote to be for Downbeat, not Starting 5.

It's not a big deal at all

Don’t take anything that I post seriously in the comments.

No worries.

I don’t take most things seriously. No matter who says them. Or how.

1. I have hope for GJ joe movie because if it’s one thing that America knows it’s propaganda against poorly defined enemies, also plus: Dennis Quaid!

2. so is CeCe’s biological clock, that’s why they were seen with each other recently. if she can get knocked up one more time, and get into the 4 kids echelon, she can get so much more money.

3. i think ugly depends on who’s viewing, men and women look at things differently. men see a guy with a busted face. women see good genes for height, eye color, and no receding hairline — and his paycheck (see #2)

4. just get me a PG with good PG skills and a banger and call it a day

5. Sign me up for the username shirt AllThatJazz . . .woo!

The Downbeat

1- Well, it’s not my childhood… never watched Transformers. Haven’t seen the movies either (people say I should), and don’t plan on watching GI Joe either.

2- Wait… you have the clock on the site?

3- Nothing to say…

4- How far down my wishlist? People will be there… of the 10 guys, a couple could be 2nd round targets now (Danny Green for example). I’d love to see a PG (Teague if he falls? Lawson?). Douglas works too. Or Young or Johnson (if he falls) if we go with wings. I just don’t see most of the “if he falls” players falling. Get ready for like Chase Budinger (adiós Korver?) or a trade (man… imagine taking the air out of the draft part right after pick #19 happens).

5- How much would the shirt cost (I don’t have money)? That said, sign up my name for it!

I'm ambivalent on the name for the 5 ...

and since I have no tenure, not sure my comments are valid yet.
Just wanted to make an observation. SLC Dunk saved me last year because it added flavor to my ESPN Gamecasts when I couldn’t see the Jazz on TV. That said, watching USA v. Spain soccer is the worst thing on Gamecast … ever.
Please, let the draft come now!

Still, for your soccer fans

USA is up 1-nil

2-0 FTW! :)

The Fab 5

1. I have been waiting anxiously for GI Joe every since last year when I first heard about it…..now I have seen the previews and they gave them stupid suits. Same as X-MEN…..why cant our childhood heroes just be what we remember them by? Why do they have to be “modernized”? Also where is Sgt. Slaughter?? I will watch the movie though.
2. Any day now I am expecting the headline “Boozer Opts Out” I am glad he is waiting until AFTER we draft so we have a clear picture on our PF situation!!! What a selfish loser!
3. Yeah Andrei is pretty weird looking. But who cares….so is Sam Cassel and Pau Gasol.
4. If we want Sam Young I bet we could trade down to get him….no way he is Top 20 talent…IMO.
5. Nice Idea….over at my other teams blogsite “ArrowheadPride.Com” some guy made a cool design and called it the arrowhead pride wolf pack with a wolf ripping through our logo coming out of the shirt. Pretty neat. I say get some guys that are good with graphics to make up a killer original Utah Jazz design for SLCDunk.
