Home of the Resignation

In a stunning move, Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan has resigned. Reports are saying he is stepping down because of an on-going dispute with star point guard Deron Williams. Sloan had been the head coach of the Jazz for 23 years and was with the organization since the early 80s. The team, while not great, is having a good season. So is the dispute with Williams that bad that Sloan has no option to walk away from the team? Reports are saying that the two almost came to blows at halftime of wednesday's game against the Bulls. This is terrible for the Jazz front office. They already lost Carlos Boozer to free agency last summer and now they're losing their head coach who has been there since before I was born.

To get real Chris Berman on you, it's only fitting that his last game coached came against the Chicago Bulls. Jerry Sloan's number was the first to be retired by the Bulls. He even coached them for a couple of seasons before going to Utah. It's a shame that he'll be stepping down and at 68 he could be done for good. He was a great coach and it's going to be strange not seeing him on the Jazz sideline.


I Love This Album:
The album that I love today is "Cease to Begin" by Band of Horses. I listen to this album when I fall asleep. I listen to it when I wake up. I listen to it here. I listen to it there. I listen to it with a goat. I listen to it in a boat. It is a great album. It has a great mix of slow and fast paced songs. The lead singer's voice is like none other. This band has quickly become one of my favorites in the last year. Their songs have been in Guitar Hero, Fringe, Due Date, Zombie Land, and many more shows and advertisements. And for good reason. Their music is great and goes with whatever mood you may be in. If you haven't heard Band of Horses I would highly, highly recommend doing that very soon.

Look them up, or better yet, just listen to the song below. Have a happy Thursday and I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye.


What I'm Listening To:

"The General Specific" by Band of Horses.

UPDATE!

I have just learned that Cee Lo Green does a cover version of "No One's Gonna Love You" and it is great! Check it out.
