I want to reinforce my hatred for utah as nothing good has ever come out of that barren abortion of a state, desolate in every sense and every layer of the word, devoid of worth, devoid of value, devoid of actual human beings, the inhabitants the trash husks of the world, a garbage vortex with six points in the mountainous west, where nothing of any creative veracity can germinate, an infestation, an eyesore of america, a mistake. polygamists AND BORING. A DUST BOWL. I’VE NEVER BEEN THERE

HIRE ME DIME

HIRE ME

Amar says:

wow . . . touched a nerve there . . . right 43t9fisldjfdsfqo9rg3 ?

I’ve never been to SLC, Utah; but I have lived in small towns before. You don’t need 1500k+ people moving around on a subway system and guys getting mugged / ladies getting raped to be living in a good city/state. That said, this is a much better video than the one Kobe did a few years ago telling people to trade Bynum, or he’ll leave the Lakers . . .

oh yeah, forgot about that one, huh?

HELLO I’M GOING TO WRITE A SNIDE, SOLIPSISTIC HEADLINE TO AN ARTICLE BECAUSE ANY PLACE THAT EXISTS OUTSIDE OF MY PURVIEW OF REALITY IS AUTOMATICALLY WORTH LESS THAN MY CURRENTLY INHABITED SETTING

IF YOU’RE NOT IN THE ROOM WITH ME, YOU MAY AS WELL BE DEAD, AS I REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR EXISTENCE AND VALIDITY AS A HUMAN BEING

WE ENJOY OUR CORPORATE CULTURE OF ARROGANT, CONDESCENDING NIHILISM

Amar says:

43t9fisldjfdsfqo9rg3 — dude. chill out. it’s just dime magazine — like what, a Top 30 NBA blog out there on the internet? one that spends a lot of time discussing sneakers and urban hoops ‘culture’ as opposed to the actual game? it’s going to be alright. just forget about it.

thenatural says:

@43t9fisldjfdsfqo9rg3 – in none of your posts do you say anything about the UTAH JAZZ. you should probably be posting on a travel forum and not a hoops forum… as the great Kenny Powers would say, “You’re f’ing out”

Ahoapap says:

@thenatural In his defense, the title of the article doesn’t say : “Boring Summer? Imagine being a Utah Jazz player”. No, it says : “Boring Summer? Imagine living in Utah”. That has nothing to do with Basketball, hoops, shoes, travel, or anything other than living in Utah.

People from Utah who love it get pretty sick of people shitting all over it. The only thing wrong with Utah is their stupid liquor laws.

Ebony and Ivory throwing some volleyballs around a mall toilet (oh wait, Utah might get boring, i totally get it now), and what a way for D-Will to crossover and get in the nike mainstream fag-a-sphere down low promo schemes based around youtube, teaming up with this headband senior aerobics coach looking guy..

i hereby vow to do everything in my power to disrupt your progression in the sporting world, Mr. Jeff Chen. i am going to relinquish control of my body to hatred and virtually curse your articles, a Internet suicide bomber, undeterred, completely focused, wholly consumed and obsessed with causing your professional failure until you change the title of this article. i will be relentless. i have nothing. i have nothing so i can give everything of myself to burning down this sliver of mutual world we share. this, Mr. Chen, is scorched earth. i don’t care about furthering or improving myself in any way — i only want to see your shambling career put out of its misery.

i want you to fix this. i want you to make this right. change the title of this article. change it. please.

I live in Chicago but grew up in Utah….thus I’m a huge Jazz fan. I’m hooked on the Dime because they are one of the few publications out there who will actually give a shout out to small market teams. You don’t mention every positive thing out of Utah, but enough to gain my respect. You just need to give D-Will a cover, dude is ill!
August 25th, 2009 at 7:48 pm

Amar says:

dude — seriously, cool it. dime is all about hitcounts, and getting ad money from the website. that’s the financial motive of doing things like this, or disparaging the GTA as a ‘small market’, etc.
