like jerry sloan?

First of all, I found out that long-time Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloane was retiring yesterday...from Tagg's baby daddy. Via text. Is that weird? I kind of think it is. It did make me the coolest chick in the office because I was literally the first to know the breaking news and all the guys were like "what?!?!" Yeah, boys, I know what's going on in the NBA. But I was wondering, is it strange the Paulie would text that to me? In the mysterious land of baby-family-birth-family-open-adoption, that was one I did not expect.

I think I had those shorts. But my
hair was way bigger.

Even funnier, he says..."random question did sloane's name come from the coaches name?" I said "no, but we get that a lot" ...twice, counting you, actually... "it's from Ferris Bueller"... shit, will a 19 year old boy have a freaking clue that Ferris Bueller is a movie? from the 80s, before he was born, or that I totally envied Sloane and those gray cord shorts, the cropped white leather jacket with the fringe and don't even get me started on those suede boots? probably not... "and Entourage. both had cute girls named Sloane"...good call on the contemporary reference, I'm thinking. Way to make it cool, although I can't decide if basketball-junkie Paulie would think the hot girls are a better name inspiration than the longest-tenured coach in not just basketball but FOUR pro sports. Didn't have to wait long...next text: "well, she's well on her way to being up there with the amazing sloanes." Awwww...right? Cute. I think. Right?

Although I am really sad about Jerry Sloane.
