Jackpotting Around Podcast Listener Mailbag

[Handlogten's Heros]

The draft conversation (regarding strength) was so reductive and bad imo.

God the Sexton talk was truly insufferable.

No talk about his next contract. No talk about how he fits long term next to Keyonte. For how much y'all (rightfully) raved about his play this year, there was no talk about if he should be prioritized as PG over Keyonte. Or maybe finding a PG that is bigger to better fit next to Sexton. No talk about trade value.

Why aren't people excited about Sexton while he is having a truly incredible offensive season? Because the FO/Hardy have clearly signaled Keyonte is the PGOTF and it's just tough to have Sexton as a starting 2 guard. He's also far too good to sign a contract to be a 6th man.

The "definitive" Sexton talk was just y'all reacting to advanced stats you don't have access to that you saw in Twitter...

I guess I just hate sarcasm in basketball pods. The "is that good" *snickering* as you read something that is obviously good just grates to me to no end, especially when it's repeated constantly. Sam Vecenie loves that, so I can hear the clear Vecenie influence there.

And again, idk, the tone just doesnt suit me if that is the direction it's going. Is it going to be a pod where in depth Jazz related topics are discussed or just a fan service pod where you react to/talk to the average Jazz twitter opinions? I guess you're going for just a general podcast that can touch on whatever and however?

Yeah I mean its fine if you want to be critical and even make fun of us... its fine but I'm not going to waste my time having you on if I grate you to no end and am insufferable yada yada. When you put something out there like this you expect some to hate it. You sounded like you hated it... so why would I invite you on?

This doesn't even consider all the other BS throughout the years.

I just got caught up reading the thread.

#1 Wow, just wow that turned quickly.
#2 I don't subscribe to any podcast, but I have been listening to most all of your episodes and enjoyed them. I sometimes agree and sometimes don't, but I always enjoy them.
#3 Cy does go off quite a bit, but I also find some of his takes insightful, especially at draft time.
#4 One topic idea as we approach the draft is what you think a fair price is to move up from our current draft positions in this draft. There seems to be a wide range of ideas on how much it might cost to move from 10 to the the 5, 6, 7, or 8 ranges or what our 29 and 32 could get us. Another idea might be what commonly projected top 10-12 players would you avoid at #10. Keep up the good work.

Except that I said several positive things.....

Show me the several positive things you said and I will admit I was wrong.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Show me the several positive things you said and I will admit I was wrong.

I would count basically everything I said on the threads to be positive. You asked for feedback, I gave feedback.

Nothing was inflammatory, derogatory, or negative. At some point I realized what the pod was going for wasn't my taste to listen to so I stopped giving feedback (other than the Seinfeld thing, which I assumed was a joke in good taste but maybe I hit a nerve with HH)

I was told my draft takes were wanted so I offered (and it seemed people in the forum wanted it). You don't have to like a podcast to be on a podcast. If y'all don't want me on anymore it's fine, but to act like it's because I was "name calling and flinging poo" is ridiculous imo

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I just don’t understand what people get out of trashing people who are trying to do something for the community and Jazz fans alike. We lose money every month making the podcast.

Three words. People are idiots

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

As always any and all feedback is welcome. Thank you for listening!

Oh wow that's crazy

 

[Elizah Huge]

Oh wow that's crazy

I literally said above that when you’re only giving negative with no positive it comes off as disingenuous.

I said HH had a nice voice!

Cy is like the Ja Morant of the forum. Extremely talented. When it’s going good it’s going real good but damn it he just can’t get out of his own way. Keeps making the same mistakes and it’s detrimental to him yet he keeps doing it no matter how many times he’s been told not to. People like him (myself included) because the good stuff is really ****ing good but deep down we know it won’t last forever and we are just waiting to get let down again.

Man, you are so damn weird. It's a damn basketball forum.

It’s just an analogy and it’s spot ****ing on because it’s bothering you.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It's crazy that might affect on some posters is so heavy to the point that I actually let them down. Like one day EH logged on hoping to read my insightful basketball post and instead saw something he didn't like and it emotionally affected him.
