Millsap

The Jazz MUST match the Blazers offer sheet to Millsap. The Jazz need one or the other and Boozer will bolt after this year. I must confess I am a Boozer lover and wish we could sign him to an extension. I do however believe that the Jazz and Booze are headed separate ways and have known this for awhile. I want the Jazz to match the offer sheet that Millsap is going to sign with Portland. I think the main reasons are:

1. I hate the Blazers. Mostly because there fans think they can contend for a title right now and believe that every move Kevin Pritchard makes is a genius move. Exactly what have they accomplished with the team they have? 1st round exit, check. Brandon Roy extended...nope....LaMarcus Aldridge extended....Nope again. Bringing the superstar free agent that they have been told they would be getting all last year with the Darius Miles cap room....hmmm....No again. Hedo wouldnt even sign with them. and decided Canada was a better fit. I would love to see Roy get a max deal and Portland to keep running the ISO play for him 50 times a game and have him break down. Those draft day red flags have to come up some time right? Oden stop getting hurt its Roys turn.

2. Espn has gets a broner over them. Hyping them up like they are already dynasty.

3. Because they are trying to force the Jazz's hand by signing Millsap and making the Bulls and Jazz decide on the Hinrich/Boozer/Thomas deal sooner. I really hope the Jazz match my boy Paul and leave the Blazers with another week of nothing happening for them. It would be even sweeter if we could get OKC in a 3 way with the Jazz and Bulls and leave Portland out of it completely.

In the end I wouldnt even be against signing Sap and keeping Boozer the whole year. I would love the see Greg Miller pay the huge luxury tax and show Portland that the Jazz cant be pushed around. Will they do it, I doubt it. Will Kevin O'conner find another trade without Portland, probably not but hey a boy can dream.

My prediction Jazz match Millsap, trade Boozer to the Bulls with Portland and then make a trade mid season of Miles/Harpring/ or somebody to ease most luxury tax burdens.

So....

Well for everyone who knows me this isnt going to be a suprise but I no longer live in Boston and that being said the name of the blog doesnt really apply anymore. I however am too lazy to figure out how and even if I can change the name of this thing. I mean why change it if I update 3 times a year. To help some people who just stalk me from a distance catch up on my life I'm and now living in Charlotte North Carolina. I have been here for 2 days. I just moved up from Greenville South Carolina. I had to get out of S. Carolina because everyone kept ripping my main man Mark Sanford for falling into the temptation that is Argentina. I love that place. I love those women. They also shot the serial killer today for all those fearing for my life. So that should calm the fears my Mom had of him getting me next. Anyways I will be here in Charlotte for 2 months and then who knows. Just thought I would let people know. Joel, Kristen(Nate, Aiden) and Cheryl happing reading(and drive across the country, having made it 3 times with a 4th coming up I feel your pain). I will post more later. When who knows

What?

Nigel

So I know I have not posted on here for quite some time. Really Its because Im too lazy and dont think I have anything really all that cool to write about. This week however we got a new roomate and he seems to be adapting pretty well to his new apartment except that he needs to realize that the bathroom is not the front room. This is Steve's new baby bulldog named Nigel. He is 5 months old and is a ton of fun. Hopefully he will get potty trained soon.

Other than the new roomate nothing else is really going on. I have enjoyed watching Team USA basketball destroy the competition so far. It was also cool to see Phelps dominate in swimming. I still dont know how he won that 2nd to last race. The summer is winding down but I believe I am going to be staying until the end of September. I know this will upset some people but the company is going to pay my rent and also give me more money. I hope it turns out to be a good idea because I am more then ready to be coming home.

It's no IHOP visit but here you go Nate

While I was in Springfield, I was able to visit the basketball hall of fame. It was a pretty cool place overall but I think I would have liked it a lot more if it was 3-4 years from now when all the players that I remember from growing up were actually in it. I think the only ones are Barkley and Hakeem. No Jordan, No Malone or Stockton. I guess 5 years is longer then you think sometimes. The pictures above were basically the only Jazz related things in the building.

There was also a spot for Hot Rod Hundley, He made it in as a member of the media. This made me think of how much better he was then Bolerjack. Hot Rod had a knack for calling the game that I will always miss. I still sometimes watch games on TV but listen to Hot Rod on the Radio at the same time. Even 10 jack and cokes into the game(2nd quarter) he is still better then Boler.

Unfortuneatly upon leaving the basketball hall of fame we walked out to find Jared's car in this condition. Yep thats a broken window and a stolen GPS unit. Of all the crappy neighborhoods and the late hours that we work I would have never thought his GPS would get stolen at one in the afternoon and in a crowded parking lot. This is the second time this has happened to one of our guys since being out here. I just hope it doesnt end up happening to me.

We are now working in the city of Wocester. Somehow the people pronouce it WUSter. I call it WOOster and everyone in the city corrects me on it. I think its really funny. The city however sucks it is nothing but up and down hills. Also you can be driving on an alright road(for Mass) and all of the sudden end up on a dirt road with huge pot holes. My car is taking a beating in this area. I think I better start preparing for repairs or a new one. The picture on the left is the New Audi R8 that I followed on the freeway for about 2 miles. I tried to get better pictures but this is all I ended up getting. It made my week seeing on in person. It sounded amazing and I could hear coming up the on ramp about 10 seconds before I actually saw it. Man it sounded great. Too bad I had to go to an install or I think I would have stalked the dude until he pulled over.

Well everything is going well. This past week was slow business wise but hopefully it picks up again this week. I hear 4th of July is awesome here in Boston so hopefully I can get some good pictures to post. I am also going to be heading down to D.C. in about 2 weeks so there should be actually something interesting to write about.

More Pictures

These are some more pictures from New York and from a lady's house that had 43 dogs bowls full of raw hamburger. Yeah it smelled gross.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy fathers day Dad, I hope you have had a good day and I will be calling you after I get this post finally up. Sorry everyone that I haven't been posting very often of late. The problem is that I have been working in Springfield MA, which is about 1 1/2 hours from our apartments. Instead of spending all that time driving everyday APX actually has put us in a hotel the past 2 weeks and we have one more to go. So I have had no access to a computer to post anything. I am going to just post a bunch of pictures from the past two weeks and write about some of them.

This is the Beach in New Bedford. It has been by far my favorite city we have worked in so far. It was fun to just be able to layout and do nothing in between jobs. Not to mention some days the scenery was very nice!

This is the biggest dang beagle I have ever seen. I swear the thing was pushing 60 Lbs. So Craig, Erin, Mom and Dad you better get your dogs on steroids.

Well I'm having trouble posting the other pictures that I wanted to post. I will get them up later tonight. Two Sundays ago I spent the day in New York. It was cool to get away and just spend the day sight seeing. I was able to see Spamalot which I thought was pretty good and pretty funny. We just about saw everything including the empire state building, ground zero, statue of liberty on a ferry ride to Staten island, the naked cowboy, time square, central park, and probably a lot more that I am forgetting. The whole trip cost 90 dollars so It worked out real well. The only bad thing was not getting back to Boston until 4:30 am and having to work the next day.

Work is going well and I only need 77 installs to reach the top pay tier. I should be able to reach that pretty easily and end up making pretty good money for the summer. Everything else is going well. I miss everyone and it will be good to see everyone in August.
