Jazz Didn't Win, Cleveland Lost

I don't like ESPN but I am not blind nor stupid enough not to see that their influence on American sports is immense.

Was.

Just like MTV defined a generation and now is irrelevant. Sports Center ushered in the era of highlight-driven coverage. Athletes wanted to get their plays in the top-10. But that's really not all that important any more. You can catch them on Twitter, Vine, YouTube, etc. within minutes (or seconds) after the plays happen.

You folks hear what ESPN has been saying about the Jazz victory over the Cavs last night?

- Cavs shot atrociously (only 38% from field and 62% from the line)
- Cavs were playing last game of road trip
- Cavs were playing second game of a back-to-back

Obviously, what they are saying is that the Jazz didn't win the game, rather the Cavs lost the game.
(Funny how they fail to mention that the Jazz didn't even have Hayward.)

Face it, Jazz fans, no matter what you do you will always be nothing. Heck, if you play incredibly well in this final month and make the playoffs it will be because "The Rockets blew it."

I see you're mistaking ESPN for journalism. Why? Try to keep in mind: It's a business, not a public service. Jazz fans are pretty used to being overlooked. But the commentary during the game contained plenty of praise for the team.
 
So wait, Monica, you tellin me that the Jazz played Queefland and Queefland lost but teh Jazz didn't win?

HELLO! YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

Uhh, I said it was the ESPN highlight shows. Not the written word. The HIGHLIGHTS on TV.

Try to follow along. This stuff isn't exactly quantum spatial modulation, you know.

How come so many people are so desperate to find something to get offended about these days? (I'm asking you because you're apparently getting offended about disrespect that a team you love to disrespect is getting, so you must be an expert in this.)
 
Jazz been playing alright the past 2 or 3 games but before that they didn't even deserve the local attention they got. When they show they can do a little better than being able to throw the ball in the ocean, they'll get a little respect. Until then I don't worry about media bias. I've been a fan for 35 yrs and I can hardly stand to watch them throw up the bricks they have been this year. Good Lord! Can't complain that SC chooses not to feature that train wreck.

My sentiments exactly. And I can match your 35 years and raise 2, which ... makes me too damn old. <sigh>
