Wanted: starting shooting guard for the Utah Jazz. Must play defense, keep coach happy and carry the burden of being "the final piece of the puzzle." Outside shooting a bonus, but must not overdo it -- or prepare to ride the pine. So goes the want ad for perhaps the most scrutinized job vacancy in Utah since the days of Jeff Hornacek.

Utes offer lessons in life

By By Natalie Dicou • October 15, 2007

I've learned more from the Utah football team this season than I've learned in any class during six years of college. No offense, professors.

Would the real Rep. candidate please stand up?

October 15, 2007

I tend to enjoy the childish fodder politicians use against one another in attempts to beat out the competition. I loved the John Kerry flip-flop fiasco and Dan Rather's job security aside, even the Killian document scandal delighted me.
