Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Did you ever feel like you live in a soap opera? Huge amounts of drama for no real reason? Conniving, sniping behind people’s backs?
Did you ever have a friend who dated someone for a long, long time, but never quite got married? They finally break up, only to get back together again, […]

Rocky Mountain Low

I’m pretty sure that I’m the one to blame. I caught up with the Jazz / Cavs game “in progress” after I got home from some Saturday errands. It was during the first half, in a see-saw battle, when they showed a stat that said something like “LeBron James needs 38 points to […]

Help Andrei and Memo get to Houston!

All-Star voting is currently underway, and the Jazz players need your help. Memo is one of the best centers in the West this year, and you could make an arguement for his being the Most Improved Player. But he hasn’t really made a name for himself in the league yet, so he isn’t […]

AK-47, AK-47, AK-47

Triple the pleasure of AK-47 tonight as he becomes the first Russian-born player with a triple-double. I don’t know what I found more surprising: the fact that he never had a triple-double in his NBA career before tonight, or that he only has one other trip-doub with the Russian national team (points, boards, blocks). […]

Friday the 13th Strikes Carlos Boozer!

What is the deal with this guy? I really don’t think that he’s faking it; only an idiot would fake it this many times because of how it looks. But what are his hamstrings made out of? Rice paper? Jell-O? (Wouldn’t that be ironic if he came to the Jell-O […]

Statistics are our friends, right?

I love statistics.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love statistics. I love numbers, and math in general. When it’s time for March Madness, I love to break down correct guesses, project possible point totals, everything. But statistics can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes stats give a skewed, or unpredictable […]

Jazz 110, Sixers 102

“In this corner, weighing 165 pounds, Allen Iverson…and in this corner, weighing in at nearly 1 ton, the Utah Jazz”
It didn’t really seem like a fair fight, but A.I. took all comers in the first half, and the Sixers were ahead by four. Of course, he had some help from Chris Webber, who had […]

Jazz 97, Warriors 89

Ladies and gentlemen, your Northwest Division leading Utah Jazz!!!
Hard to believe how times have changed in such little time. Their traditional pre-Christmas roady was a disastrous 1-4 and they looked like they were starting to circle the drain. But the re-emergence of AK (which corresponded with my walking past him and his family […]

Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste…

…although it’s mostly a wealth of information, and a taste for meats and cheeses.
My name is Josh Nelson, and I am the new blogger on the block (known from here forward as the NBOTB). I happened upon this website, and was excited to find that they were looking for a blogger to […]
