Ya know... I literally can't think of one. Tony Jones is great but I don't think I have ever heard him say it. Andy is the only one with ********* I guess.

Andy's kind of a moron though. I have never got anything illuminating or interesting out of him ever.

Strongly disagree. He is a nerd but he knows what he's talking about. He doesn't get the insider info. Locke is an outside the box thinker but he gets annoying and sometimes tends to pound the **** out of one key.
Jazz media just isnt' hyper reactionary.
Jazz/SLC/Utah media has absolutely no teeth. And journalism without teeth isn't journalism.

Tony is just there to report the news. Not there to offer his opinion. I wish we had more journalists like him.
His Triple Threat breakdown after each game is really good. I think that's the best stuff he does.
Other than he's more analytics focused than I like.
I think Andy is right. From a value perspective drafting bigs usually isnt the right call. I wouldn't have done it.
But if the Jazz think he is that guy then you can break the rules. I hated the Gobert pick when it happened. I thought we have Kanter and Favors, why are we wasting this pick. Udoka has the physical attributes to be a really impactful player. I hope it pans out.
He's pretty good. I appreciate him.
Yeah, Tony is a beat writer who focuses on breaking news, fan engagement, and leaking information to the fans. He gives his opinions on strategy/players/performance but it isnt his focus I would say.
Andy is a beat writer who focuses more on tactics, analytics, and critical analysis.
Locke is there to give breakdowns and a close insight to the team. He paints everything as glass half full. That might legitimately be who he is, but I'm sure it's also partially due to the employment situation. I don't think he really lies about anything though.

Locke is a classic homer, sort of like a Tommy Heinsohn lite.
