give it up for joy | 12:40 a.m. July 19, 2008
from the start i thought this guy was great as a person, those are some tough issues to go through and i, for one, am still cheering for him. i really hope he can be consistent and play like he knows he can. i want joy to be part of our defense and our team and hope he is with us for a while to come.
OH JOY!!! | 9:43 a.m. July 19, 2008
From what I have seen, I have liked the way Joy has played. His play is very physical and I enjoy watching it. I know that he has made a couple of mistakes, but who doesn't when they come to a new team. He just needed time to adjust to the way of life over here.

I hope Ian has found his place in Utah and on the team. He has a great heart and work rate. Tough to hear about his personal life, but it's about moving forward now.
Keep your chin up and push this club into the playoffs.

We can't have you "flailing" about on crosses. Pk's are the last thing we need.
