Jody Genessy: NBA labor: With season's start stalled, hey, thanks for nothing NBA

Published: Monday, Oct. 31 2011 8:17 p.m. MDT

Instead of getting to watch the Rockets and Jazz square off on ROOT Sports, TV viewers will be offered a riveting replay of last Saturday's Pac-12 showdown between Arizona State and Colorado. (Just to spoil something else on this spoiled night, the Sun Devils crushed the Buffaloes, 48-14.)

Because of an NBA mandate, the Jazz website also continues to be void of anything particularly useful pertaining to the current crop of players.

Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap and Devin Harris who?

You won't find features on the best players under contract with the Jazz, but you can read a piece about the franchise's top 10 bench players.

Then again, this might be good news for fans of the Milk Man, two Bigs (Dawg and T), the Brown Bear and a pro-player-turned-broadcaster who used to play football.

Browsing a non-fully functioning team website raises this question: If a "Jazz Bear in the Woods" video was featured on utahjazz.com, would anybody watch and find out if it made a sound?

Unfortunately, its volume can be cranked up much louder than the noise from nothing happening tonight in EnergySolutions Arena.
