According to Deron's updates, former Jazzman Robert Whaley's son died after being hit by a car. Whaley wasn't with the Jazz long and obivously we don't know him personally. But when something happens to a memeber of the Jazz family, you instantly feel like you do. I don't know if you can ever find real peace when something like that happens, I just hope he and his family can find comfort and get through this. Just tragic stuff.
Kind of hard to follow after that. Maybe it should have been its own post.
Let's say that the KOOF decides to play as just a mere mortal this year. What are your expectations for him (provided he gets PT)?
Who retires first, Jerry Sloan or Brett Favre?
What's your prediction for the first month of the season (Oct-Nov)? We have 17 games, 7 on the road and 10 at home (did the math for you there). A lot of easier ones at home with the exceptions of SA and Portland. I'll give us 9-1 at home. The road schedule is brutal (when isn't it for the Jazz?). I'm going to give us 1-6 on the road. So that's a 10-7 record. Man, I hope we break .500 on the road this year.
With Sloan and Stockton being inducted into the HOF soon, here's one of my favorite quotes from Jerry. This was at Stockton's retirement:
"It’s unfortunate we couldn’t keep statistics on screens. He wasn’t screening no midgets."
