Rich Bucer making crap up off the top of his head.

How much does someone like him who barely knows the team know about anything. This pissed me off.

Says he was told Sloan wanted to suspend or penalize Williams for the arguments and the organization wouldn't do it so he decided to step down. Yes, it sounds like Bucher is making **** up.

We still want you Ric. My 90 year old grandma has the batteries ready. Come get us.

Biggest coward in sports journalism.

Bucher is terrible. Not as bad as Stephen A. Smith or Pete Vecsey, but terrible.

 

[Sloanfeld]

He's not making anything up. He said, "I'm told..." He's simply reiterating what his sources tell him. It's not farfetched either. Maybe that's what the metting with KOC was about. Common sense prevails.

He is reiterating what he read on blogs. He has no sources. The man sucks.

A complete stretch. You should have heard some of the stuff being said out here in LA on the radio...just complete garbage.

From Yahoo sports:

Jerry Sloan resigned as head coach of the Jazz after several clashes with Deron Williams.

Sloan and Williams clashed at halftime of Wednesday's loss to the Bulls. At least two members of the Jazz feared Sloan and Williams would physically fight, but the confrontation ended before reaching that point.

Sloan’s relationship with Williams had grown progressively worse over the course of the season, league sources said.

“He decided right there in halftime that he was done,” a league source told Yahoo! Sports. “He felt like ownership was listening more to Williams than they were to him anymore. He was done.”

One source said Sloan had become tired of Williams “blaming everything on everyone else.”

Assistant coach Ty Corbin has been named acting head coach, and league sources expect the team will move to secure him as Sloan’s long-term replacement in the near future.

All the Mormons hate Bucher, this is an argument I won't win here.

I'm not sure if he does anything other than write out there but if he was on the radio, how bad was Plaschke lisping?

Ill put it this way. For a second I thought it was Archie.

Not a Mormon and what he said is correct. But it wasn't some ground breaking conclusion he came to. He read it on the internet 10 minutes before appearing on espn.

Why do the Momo's hate Bucher?

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Why do the Momo's hate Bucher?

From his comments a couple years ago about how they say the meanest things and put on smiles all day and let it out in the arena or something like that.

 

[Edgewriter]

Why does anyone think this is at all credible? Think who was in that closed door meeting:
COY, Phil Jackson, maybe assistant coaches, KOC, Greg Miller, Randy Rigby.

Can you picture any of those guys putting info like that out there. No freaking way.

Silliness.


Even if you don't like Jerry, I think it is impossible to imagine that he would demand that a player be disciplined and quit over it, particularly right after a heated game.

 

[Wham!]

espn is more interested in muckraking than reporting sports. they want drama, breaking star player news, and they want everyone to turn to them for the 'scoop.'

No, really?
