Shout out to my teams

Just a hope that the Pirates, Real Salt Lake, and the Utah Blaze can right their ships in their current seasons.

Good luck to the Penguins and the Jazz in their prospective playoff runs.

Also to Corinthians it was a nice run in the Sao Paulo State Championship and the next tournament will be a great run for you guys everything will be looking up for you guys in the near future. Go Timao.

Jerry Sloan:Snub of the Decades

Just wanted to throw my two cents in about how Jerry Sloan gets snubbed nearly every year for Coach of the Year. How ridiculous is it that in amassing 1,000 vitories (almost all with the Utah Jazz), there has not been one year where he was considered the best coach. All of the years in a row making the playoffs, some starting out bad and "righting the ship" to make the playoffs, others ending with the best record in the league, and lately doing things with his team that according to the experts a few years ago were going to be so far in the future. From not making the playoffs to the western conference finals the next year. It seems that there is always an excuse as to why he isn't deserving, yet every reason they have given has been used in a different year as to why someone else should be the coach of the year. Whether it be they had the best record, or the best turnaround from one year to the other, or turned it around during the season, all have been done by Sloan in years past but they change what they think is the deserving status for Coach of the Year in that season. Maybe only self promoters deserve to be Coach of the Year, and if that is the case let's just call it the "I am more important than the team I coach of the year." Sloan will never complain about this personal accolade and he really doesn't care; but you think that at least once in twenty years they could have gotten it right in at least a couple of the years when Sloan was truly the best, but maybe since he has kept the Jazz at such a high level for so long it doesn't count. Sloan: at least your appreciated in Utah, we love you here!

What is this blog?!?!?

This blog is dedicated to all that I want it to be. I will talk about my sports teams, things that I like, things that get on my nerves, and things that I believe. In this first post I can say I am pretty happy because my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates won today 9-2 over the Florida Marlins. Although Real Salt Lake did lose yesterday (but I do have some issues with the officiating). But on a Happy Note the Jazz beat the loathed Spurs on Friday so all in all it was a pretty good weekend for sports. As far as the NCAA Championship game goes I am good with either Memphis or Kansas so long as the Tar Heels have packed their bags, it gets old having them there every single year. Well I am going to get going it is my Mom's birthday and we are going to go sing to her and have dinner and cake. Should be back later with more posts.
