I went to sleep last night tired and intoxicated. After a long and productive day, I was happy to snuggle away the day's worries in my warm and comfortable bed. But as I am known to do while waiting for unconsciousness to sign me off and permit me to start anew, I began contemplating the many facets of my existence. And when I arrived to my role as a member of this community, I couldn't help but become gripped by guilt. I was struck by the realization that the team's personnel are very real people who can, and some probably do, read what is being said about them on these forums.

And so I wondered whether I would call Jefferson Fat Al to his face. Of course I wouldn't. For one, I possess no where near that level of dickishness. Secondly, I couldn't be as fit as Al if my life depended on it. Does the fact he's a public figure make him, or others like him, fair game? I don't think so. His vocation is built upon fans' approval, and we do have the right to criticize any of the personnel, or even call for their removal. But the cussing and name calling I cannot justify. How can I casually call someone a turd as if they're fictional figures made up from the pixels you see on a screen? What does that say about my character? More importantly, what does it say about my perspective? I pride myself in being informed and thoughtful, but I allow something as inconsequential as basketball to subtract from who I am as a person.

Long story short, I have decided that I will do my best to refrain from name-calling whenever I am discussing a Jazz player. I will be civilized and keep the commentary relevant and constructive. And if you are a player that I have thoughtlessly insulted in the past, then you have my sincerest apology.

Exempt from this apology is Roger Braille and all its derivatives. Those are still hilarious.

Co-signed. I have a hard time throwing stones at those who fully understand our side of the complaint while having the higher understanding to know how juvenile it is. This comes with the territory of every professional.

As a side note, I've always hated how Timbaland, or whatever his name is, adds a beat to the background and all the sudden it's now "Timbaland ft. One Republic". If I was the band I'd be pissed.

Timberland put them on the map. He also paid his dues. One Republic isn't complaining so why should we?

Neg rep for not holding onto your anger.......

 

[nightmare3983]

how about they apologize for us.
for shining **** and calling it gold
while the diamonds are being left in the mud.

thats a metaphor

Classy

 

[Lakers_Slapper]

For every thing I've ever said thats derogatory to either Jazz personnel or fans, I don't apologize as I mean every word. If I didn't mean it then it wouldn't be said in the first place. Call me heartless but I only say what I mean. If I offended you, my bad, but I'm not sorry. I mean everything I say.

Well, you know that our paragon of Jazz leaders, our most heroic of coaches, our peerless model of pugnacious, all-out hustle and determination, Jerry Sloan, used plenty of cuss words in his common vernacular while coaching. Besides the universal f..k and its derivatives, I wonder what other expletives he used.

A word is just that, a means of expression, a way to release tension and emotion. If we just call Ty, Mr. Corbin, could you please adjust the rotations, how is that going to make you feel and is that going to get the point across about how strongly you feel? But if you say, you m'f'n turd wtf are you doing? Don't you realize Al is a black a-hole and that Marvin is a *****, and that you need guys who have fire like DeMarre and Kanter to play more minutes. Doesn't that get your point across more clearly and make you feel a whole lot better?

***** translation: a putty tat (cat)

I'm with you on this SiroMar, disclaimer and all. Roger Braille is no longer a "Jazz employee" anyways, so it's all good. Will rep as soon as the shackles are taken off.

Not to sound all Holier Than Thou or anything..... but most of you guys are always pretty harsh on almost everyone lol.
I find myself usually defending the players you guys rag on.
