Random PJ mention in an ESPN article
Thought this was funny....
"
I. My brewing feud with Jazz fans. Because I keep dismissing the Chris Paul-Deron Williams "rivalry" and wrote last week that Paul was the Pearl Jam to Williams' Stone Temple Pilots, that earned me a steady stream of hate mail from Utah and an extended rip in something called the Deseret News. Look, people of Utah -- you ruined the 2002 Olympics because nobody could buy a stiff drink or a beer that had a real level of alcohol, and I think "Last Call" was 8:30 at night. As my friend Jacoby jokes, "Each brewery around the world has to brew and bottle special low-alcohol beer solely because Utah hates fun." It's true. The only reason we still put up with you is the skiing. I'd keep it down."

Brian (Staten Island): Does Boom even speak to you guys?
SportsNation Jeff Ament: (6:42 PM ET ) we can only speak to Boom when spoken to...
why? he almost always seemingly mocks his love of Boston sports in every article he does...
All one has to do is NOT be from Boston and read his coverage of the Finals last season....As someone from L.A., I might as well have had a random former bitter, Celtic from the 80's and his one-sided views on everything.
He's the NBA writer equivolent to Peter Gammons......except, far less respected or likeable.
C'mon.. the guy is a homer but you have to give him a hand for coming up with gems like this one (from the same column as above)...
"Did you know that Atlanta's bench this year consists of Ronald Murray, Zaza Pachulia, Mo Evans, Solomon Jones and Acie Law? Really? That's your bench? The Hawks should just have Feces Night and have their cheerleaders shoot dog doo out of T-shirt cannons at their fans. What a disgrace."
