SALT LAKE CITY — Frankly, there wasn't much that the Jazz had going for them Monday night. The 125-80 loss was as ugly as any loss will ever be, especially at home.

And when the killing dunk for the game happens in the second quarter, there is clearly something wrong. Granted, most dunks aren't like the one that broke the Jazz.

James Harden put on a show that overshadowed the premier of "Linsanity," with 25 points in 28 minutes. His crowning point was a one-handed tomahawk jam where he cocks his arm back and throws down on an open rim.

It put the Rockets up by 18 going into half and Harden said it was to prove a point that this was their game. Judging from the ferocity of the dunk, who is going to argue?

Fortunately, the Jazz weren't hurt last night and get to live another day. In the meantime, just enjoy a lone highlight from a game that you will want to forget.

Best BYU Schedule ever?

On Monday, the BYU 2013 football schedule was released, and now there comes a lot of waiting before the season kicks off and what a season it should be.

BYU plays big names in big places at big points in the season. BYU administration and coaches have said this might be the best and/or toughest schedule ever.

BYU's football slate is great, but can get better

Tom Holmoe has delivered on the promise he made two years ago to dramatically improve the BYU football schedule. The next challenge is to get better games in Provo during November. There's one obvious solution out there that BYU needs to make happen.

Is it? Can it be? How hard will it be overall? Let's take a look.

Last season BYU played four teams that ended in the AP top-25, and one FCS team. In 2011 they played one in the top-25 and an FCS team. Their toughest schedule since 2000 was in 2003 when they played national champion USC, 10-2 Utah and 13-1 Boise State. They went 4-8.

Is this the best BYU schedule ever?

Texas, Utah State, Boise State, Wisconsin and Notre Dame should all be ranked in the preseason. Don't count out Utah, Nevada and Georgia Tech. They have a cupcake in Idaho State, but there is a real chance that BYU could have five to eight opponents finish in the top-25.

For perspective, last year Alabama played five teams that finished in the Top 25, one being Notre Dame in the National Championship. The Irish played four including Alabama.

It is anyone's guess as to how BYU's opponents will have their schedule pan out, but don't be surprised to see a lot of numbers next to their opponent's names.

One last snap in the Pro Bowl:

Does anyone remember that the Pro Bowl happened? Well, there were at least two parts that were actually interesting and one missed one because it happened in the stands.

The first, though, was one last snap between Jeff Saturday and Peyton Manning. The duo spent 12 years together in Indianapolis, and now Saturday has decided to call it a career. So, despite the intensity of the game, they had one snap together.

It was just one snap, but the two had one special exception with the white jersey of Manning behind the blue jersey of Saturday.

It was one cool moment that really made you think about why the rest of the Pro Bowl can't be interesting.

Finally some fight in the Pro Bowl:

The other interesting part was simply a fight in the stands. Most people probably didn't realize it happened because they never expected any contact to happen in the Pro Bowl. But lucky for us, one fan got it on camera.

It has all the usual Pro Bowl suspects: a guy in a Tim Tebow jersey, a guy in an Aaron Brooks jersey and an old guy in a Brett Favre jersey. Wait, maybe it has no usual suspects, but it does have the AFC team standing around watching, which people are used to.

One fan gets pushed onto the field and fan Tebow's whereabouts are unknown — fitting.

In the end, it seems like no harm no foul, unlike everyone else that had to watch the Pro Bowl.

Silly prop bets for you and your friends:

In no ways is this meant to encourage gambling, however, here is a small sample of the ridiculous things coming out of Super Bowl week. These are just wacky. There won't be any odds given, just what people can look at for your amusement. And they are simply amusing.

The first one will be during the National Anthem. How long will it take before Alicia Keys adds or forget words in the song and will get booed? Next is the halftime show with Beyonce. Will she be joined by her husband Jay-Z? How will she wear her hair and what color will her top be?

The next dumb ones involves the Harbaugh family. With Jim and John in the game, there is a focus on the parents. Will they wear either logo and how many times will they be shown? How long will the brother's postgame handshake/hug be and will the announcers say Harbaugh Bowl, Har Bowl or Super Baugh. There is even one for how many times Harbaugh will be said.

Then it goes to: Will a Ravens player be arrested? Who will President Obama pick to win? What will happen to the Dow Jones after the Super Bowl? And what will be the highest tweets per second during the game?

Oh, and what color will the Gatorade shower be? And who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first?

Gambling is illegal in Utah, but this is just a fun show of what might be out there for Americans to waste their time and money on.
