NEWEST FAD

Fads come and go.

Some are funny, like seeing how many

people you could stuff in a phone booth.

Some are weird, like swallowing

live goldfish.

Some just really take off:
Planking, Ice Bucket Challenge, Gluten-free food.

And, then there's the this latest fad:

Tide Pods.

Tide Pods look great!
Sooo pretty!

So, the fad is eating a Tide Pod while
someone video tapes it!
Then, they post it on You-Tube!
And . . . it's dangerous, even deadly!!!

That's right.
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

HE'S JUST THAT SPECIAL

I always thought that if we just had a "Mitchell"

on the Utah Jazz, we would be better!

Thank you, Denver Nuggets, for drafting Donavan Mitchell #13,

and taking Trey Lyles off our hands!

Denver also gave us Rudy Gobert, so no need for Denver

to remember to get us a gift at Christmas!

Donavan Mitchell was the
December Western Conference Rookie of the Month!

Hold on, Ben Simmons . . . you may not be a lock
on Rookie of the Year!
(Technically, Simmons shouldn't be considered.
He was there last year, but injured. He learned a lot, though!)

The only Jazz player to be the
Rookie of the Year was
Darrell Griffith.
He attended the same college as Mitchell.
University of Louisville.

Draft Day

Family
His mom and sister come to visit a lot

He gets out and supports the community!
With Royce O'Neale at a BYU basketball game.

Loved by teammates

In the mix of Rookie of the Year Talk

(Notice it's Kyle Kuzma of Utah, not Lonzo Ball
who is hitting it big with the Lakers!)

Getting love from the greats, Paul George and Russel Westbrook.

And, the "King" himself!

Chris Paul

A funny side note.
Donovan did not have a driver's license when he
came to Utah. He never finished to requirements!
He had a Connecticut learner's permit.
He had to get rides to practice and games.
All set now.
