I’m reminded today of the great Mark Eaton, who passed 2 years ago.
His path from tire shop to the top of the hoops world is a unique one.
Telling his Larger Than Life story, the
@utahjazz
legend joined me in what ended up his final public interview:
After we finished asking questions tonight, Kyle Korver asked if he could say a few words — poignant words, I might add — about his teammate.
“I have never been around a young player like Donovan Mitchell.”

They’re 12 years old Dave. And this is a tender moment during a dead ball.
This dudes schtick is so tired, stupid and transparent.
Big macho man here with less mental maturity than the kids in the little league World Series…
🤡🤡🤡🤡
@stoolpresidente
This isn’t good sportsman ship. It’s dumb. You got this kid on the ropes and he’s rattled. Trip to Williamsport on the line. You can play pattycakes after. As far as the pitcher goes that’s your plate.
Always important to honor the indigenous people of this land. Utes are not a mascot. It is a namesake that must be carried with dignity and respect for the Goshute, Navajo, Paiute, Shoshone and Ute tribes that have long called Utah home. Their plight — both past and present — is…
USC and UCLA combined for exactly one championship in the Pac-12 twelve team era
Just further shows what college football at large is all about. Follow the money, follow the money, follow the money.
It ain’t about football. A realization that sucks for a guy like myself.
@espn
Some of the replies here are silly…
Dude is a 5x All-Pro, 1,000+ career tackles and now a ring
And don’t act like he didn’t earn this one
Literally ended the Niners chances and was the postseason defensive signal caller
Put some respect on that mans name.
Micah Bernard is a warrior, man.
Was asked to do so much today and did so while banged up.
Nearly an impossible task and he still contributed a lot on offense.

You can do all the mental gymnastics you desire, but denying “the gap” is silly and false.

That ties for first in the nation.

/NFL offensive lineman Isaac Asiata has joined Kyle Whittingham’s staff on The Hill
Asiata steps in as an OL assistant with Jim Harding 7 years removed from winning the Morris Trophy as the Pac-12’s top lineman
Rudy Gobert is among the best players to ever play for the Utah Jazz. 3x DPOY, 4x All-NBA from a guy who truly had to work to develop into that.
Getting of that contract as he turns over 30 is a good thing
Both of these things can be true
And guess who puts the game on ice? Julian Blackmon seals the

He’s a man of few words, but I love this mindset.

QB Tyler Huntley on the talk around the CFP rankings:
“What’s that going to do for us? We can’t talk our way into the playoffs... we gotta go out there and win.”
Dalton Kincaid finished one reception shy of the single-game FBS record for a tight end tonight vs No. 7 USC
Cam Rising was 16-of-16 when targeting Kincaid
@ESPNStatsInfo
Is this SLC? Guy with a huge beard? If so, he speeds through city creek and the avenues regularly doing shit like this….. almost ran me over at the state capitol CROSSWALK. I simply shook my head in disapproval and he gave me the double finger 🤣 Seems like a stable dude!
Oh lord, Elon superfans on X are making it into the real world.
"I'm sorry Elon said some things that hurt your feelings."
Classic. That's literally the go-to line from Elon fans to any critique of him.
It sounds just like the audio from a South Park clip laughing at Tesla…
I love the Rose Bowl but I hate that tradition robs Ohio State of a better Bowl Game opponent. Ohio State vs … Oregon! Oklahoma! Notre Dame! Clemson! … but we’re stuck with Utah. Utah’s good. Could be a good game. But the opponent & matchup is still underwhelming 🤷🏻♂️

: “Well I can tell you it’s in order for a long, long time. With that kind of energy, I don’t know why you’d want it to stop.”
Donovan Mitchell ties Karl Malone with four 40+ point playoff performances.
Malone played in 193 playoff games.
Donovan Mitchell is in his 28th postseason game.
Derrick Favors is one of the more unheralded, underrated players in the Association.
Some dark times in Jazzland would've been a lot darker had he not been in uniform.
The longest tenured Jazzman is still getting it done consistently. The consummate professional.
"You can't cry, Chuck" 😅
@Money23Green
really called out Gobert when
@TheJetonTNT
asked which player has had the worst reaction to being a All-Star snub.
As good of a football player as Zack Moss is, I hope y’all understand just how good of a person he is.
Lucky to call you a friend,
@PresMoss2
. Thank you for your help this week. 🙏🏼
Was glad to get this shot of the Hallandale Trio, surrounded by family, as they leave the field at Rice-Eccles for the final time.
Huntley, Moss and Simpkins each scored on senior night. I must say, a fitting end to their time on The Hill.

Just so we’re clear.
As a media member, having hot takes and catering to your fan base is totally fine.
Using your platform to actively troll a student athlete is disingenuous and makes you look like a clown.
Kyle Whittingham wins a lot of football games.
I find it quite cool that he still does this after each and every one of them.
9 straight for the elder statesmen.
