I saw the last five minutes of the game last night and when I saw Sloan grimace after a stupid Jazz foul I suddenly couldn't bear not to root for the Jazz. I decided that only a POS who doesn't really have a dog in the fight would root against Sloan. The fact he's a Hall of Fame 2 guard of course greatly enhances his mystique and magisterial quality. He's the franchise in Utah.

You really are one emotionally driven man.

No. I have a sense of pathos, and appreciate objects that emanate it, and I have an eye for the dramatic heart of any intense situation.

I used to be more emotionally driven than I am. Your reply actually offended me because I see a tendency to react emotionally too often as a character flaw. I hate the way I choke up in public speaking. Great leaders aren't emotoinally driven.

No offense intended. Besides, women love that.

Jerry Sloan is in the Hall of Fame...and as a player, not a coach? Interesting.
