    Looking for genuine discourse re:Jay-Z/NBA

    Care to elaborate rather than hold yourself aloft of the conversation? I've attempted to explain myself here. Can you explain to me why racism is a problem that only African Americans can relate to? I have made no claim as to the severity of each possible instance of racism; only that there...

    Looking for genuine discourse re:Jay-Z/NBA

    So what if a white kid gets beaten and left for dead by a few black kids? Is that a racist/hate crime? Or is it just a crime? If a black kid gets beaten and left for dead by a few white kids I'm inclined to say it would be headline racist news. I'm trying to be hypothetical here. What I mean by...

    Looking for genuine discourse re:Jay-Z/NBA

    I don't mean it's worse, I never said that. What I meant was that it is a hypocrisy issue. Some of the same people that condemn racism are employing that same racism to condemn people of a different race. For example, a black rapper that spouts racist slurs all throughout his " music" and then...

    Looking for genuine discourse re:Jay-Z/NBA

    Well, frankly, it seems to me that reverse racism is acceptable in our country. As a high school student back in 2000, I was walking around New York City on a trip with friends and I got called "Whitey" a bunch of times like it was nothing. I ask you this: If I had said, "Hey blacky" back to...

    Looking for genuine discourse re: Donald Sterling/NBA

    Precedent created: Secretly record any NBA owner conveying an unpopular opinion and get him banned for life and be forced to sell his team. It could be fun to see what kind of skeletons in closets prospective owners could blackmail out of people. Want an NBA team in your city? Just send in...

    Following potential 2014 draftees

    Holy cow, just watched some stuff on Embiid... would be a steal to get him at #4 based on his showing this year at Kansas. He is raw in a lot of ways, but man he has mobility, intesity, and length. Good coaching could make him one of the all-time greats... I know that sounds like a broken...

    I am stunned, but in a very happy way.

    Obama Government Shutdown?

    Our national government has become completely out of touch with the people they serve. From the President to the Senate to the House of Representatives they ALL have major flaws. Our government on a federal level is more about the show and the glitz than they are about the meat and potatoes...

    Game Thread: Utah @ BYU, Sat. 9/21 8:15pm MT, ESPN2

    I didn't get to see the hold, so I won't argue with you on that. I simply didn't get a chance to see it. As far as a Ute player throwing a punch... have you not seen your boys mouthing off and getting rough all game long? How 'bout #20 trying his hand at York? The next play York gave another...

    For those Jazz fans that LURK here but don't post

    Um yeah... I'll bite. I've been lurking on this board for probably 6 or so years. It's a great place to talk basketball, but all kinds of other stuff too. Nice to get a Jazz fan's perspective on lots of stuff. I'm here daily, but you may not see me post again for weeks if not longer.

    Local Ties in the Connecticut school shooting today. (Emilie Parker Memorial Fund)

    That man, mentally sick or not, has just added his name to the list of most evil people I've ever heard about. What a coward to go to an ELEMENTARY school and take innocent lives! I think that all the stupid banter that will take place about gun control and politics because of this event will...

    Game #6 - Utah Jazz @ Denver Nuggets - Nov 9 - 8:30 PM MST

    I smell a second-half route by Denver. The Jazz are hanging their heads early and don't have any fire offensively.

    Game #6 - Utah Jazz @ Denver Nuggets - Nov 9 - 8:30 PM MST

    Do the Jazz even RUN an offense? This is the first game this year that I've actually been able to watch and EVERYONE looks completely lost. I don't see one effective Jazz player on the floor on offense. We looked better with Favors and Kanter in there.

    Game #6 - Utah Jazz @ Denver Nuggets - Nov 9 - 8:30 PM MST

    One Denver possesion, 3 Utah fouls... Denver is either getting calls (my opinion), or just "being more aggressive"...

    Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

    It is sad to say, but I'm already looking forward to next year. I don't even think they'll get to bowl eligibility this year. I am excited, however for what Travis Wilson can be; York has also been a nice surprise. I can't help but follow the rest of the season, but the Utes 2012 football...
