Thank you Coach Sloan

I was shocked and saddened when news broke that Jerry Sloan had resigned as head coach of the Utah Jazz. Sloan was the franchise. Losing an icon like him felt like I was losing a family member. For any Jazz fan born in the 80's, he's the only coach we've ever known.

I do not want to get into the semantics of why he left. That will all come out with time. I just want to thank him for 23 great years of team-first basketball, that came with no excuses or apologies. In the words of Frank Sinatra, Jerry did it his way.

I highly doubt that we will ever see another major professional coach last 23 years as the man in charge. It's a different world now, one where instant success is demanded. When it's not met, the coach is shown the door.

So thank you Coach Sloan. Your legacy will last a lot longer than your coaching career in Utah, and that's saying a lot.

Super Sunday Prediction

Honestly, I can't stand either team. Never really liked the Packers, and I've despised the Steelers since they beat Denver at home in the AFC Championship game in 2005.


If Pittsburgh wins, Big Ben Rape-a-burger will have three Super Bowl titles. I don't think I want to live in a world where Big Ben has more super bowl rings then the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) John Elway.




But on the other hand, I'm not really ready for A-Fraud, a.k.a. Aaron Rodgers to be called a Super Bowl champion. So conflicted.


I guess, gun to the head, I'll go with the Green Bay Packers because I do like Charles Woodson, and he's definitely put in the work to be called a champion.

Final Score - Green Bay 31 Pittsburgh 27
