For all you sports fans & Utah Jazz enthusiasts, yesterday's news of Jerry Sloan's
retirement was quite a shock. After hearing all the reports & watching the press conference, I felt at a loss for words. No way could this guy quit mid-season. The Jazz were in a slump but would surely grind it out to get to the playoffs & make some sort of run.
That's what Coach Sloan was known for. Regardless of the lack of star talent, he had a plan for any basketball team he was given. He was best known for coaching 2 Hall of
Famers, John Stockton & Karl Malone, and making it to the Finals twice. If it weren't for losing to Michael Jordan, Sloan would surely have 2 championship rings.
Jerry Sloan was the longest-tenured coach in all of the 4 major sports. The Utah Jazz will have some rough road ahead. Amidst the drama & speculation, Coach Sloan left on his own terms with loyalty & determination as his calling cards. He will be sorely missed.
1. Walking 2 miles WITHOUT a coat! Woohoo!
If you haven't heard yet, you will. The Utah Jazz have traded their franchise point guard to New Jersey for 2 players, 2 picks & cold-hard cash. This latest dramatic spectacle is by far the most astonishing. I guess we can call this officially by the real name now...rebuilding. I just hope the Jazz's front office knows what they're doing. They have been notorious for drafting players we didn't need or didn't pan out. Since this season has pretty much been over for the last month, I guess we sit back & see how the soap opera turns out.
To the love of my life,
