Pain comes with fandom. But it should be for the normal reasons (or at least more normal) than the owner intentionally telling the fans they aren’t good enough and that the city sucks.

F*** it. I’m a Mariners fan.
Tonight, @colyou.bsky.social said “Sports are supposed to be fun. Are John Fisher and the A’s fun?”
And the answer is no. Unless he dies or sells the team and they return to Oakland, I just can’t. That part is painful. But cheering for a fun team tonight was great.

Hard to imagine a better preseason debut for Ace Bailey

Ace Bailey shows star power for Jazz in preseason debut

Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh also had strong outings in a loss to the Rockets.

The Ace Bailey shot selection is not something I'm going to really concern myself with early on. I expect it to be questionable. Some NBA film and time to learn should help to clean it up.

Sarah Todd @nbasarah.bsky.social · 2d

Things on my mind while I watch the Jazz's first preseason game: keeping an eye on who starts, comes off the bench, even with all the injuries; does Cody Williams disappear; Taylor's minutes; Taylor's burst and landings; defensive possessions in general, is anyone doing anything?

Reading Drew's stuff is always a joy. But reading the last line of this one, for some reason, made me laugh so hard. Perfect.

If I meet your dog, there’s a 100% chance that in my head I’m saying, “I would die for you. You’re perfect.” I might even say it out loud to the dog. And there is a 99% chance I’ve never thought that about you. Wouldn’t even cross my mind.

Today I literally said “Matthew Murrell is my favorite Jazz player.”
So obviously they waived him.

Tonight, with the house empty, I made baking soda cleaning paste and then sent my girlfriends videos of people farting on Instagram. I love that in our marriage we have our own joys.

“All of this reporting” was just people sitting and listening to Napheesa. If you want to call her a liar, do it with your chest, don’t start going the “fake news” route.
Spineless.

Engelbert vehemently denied saying that Caitlin Clark and other standouts "should be on their knees" in gratitude…

"I did not make those comments…There is a lot of inaccuracy out there through social media and all of this reporting.”

Imagine if Ace and Taylor are busts for the Jazz... that would mean three years and nine draft picks and what would they have to show for it? The Jazz need Bailey and Hendricks to be good NBA players and maybe even great.

Pressure is on Ace Bailey and Taylor Hendricks for the 2025-26 NBA season

The Utah Jazz need one, and preferably both, to show that they have the potential to be an NBA star.

When the 2006 SoCal All-Stars AAU team, headlined by Kevin Love and Brandon Jennings, went on a 46-0 tear, one of the victims they left in their wake was a young William Hardy. Now, Will Hardy is Kevin Love's coach in Love's 18th NBA season.

Kevin Love’s Utah ties run deep

From annual trips and a love for natural beauty, to playing AAU basketball against Will Hardy.
