If you didn't get a chance to watch Greg Miller's appearance on Sportsbeat Sunday you will want to hear what he had to say. He had some very interesting comments regarding Carlos Boozer, Paul Millsap, the luxury tax and the future of the franchise. If you're a Jazz fan its refreshing to hear the honesty and candor that he displayed when discussing the busy offseason. I get the sense that Miller is quickly becoming a fan favorite as they get to know him more in his new capacity as owner of the franchise.

With that said here are 5 observations from the weekend in sports:

That's how many home runs the Salt Lake Bees hit on Saturday night in a 16-7 victory over the Iowa Cubs. It was also the second time in four games that the Bees had 19 hits in one game. They are just killing the ball right now during an eight game home stand that ends Tuesday afternoon.

game winless streak. Real Salt Lake has struggled since their record setting six goal performance against New England back in April. They reached rock bottom Saturday night in a 2-0 loss to Kansas City. They embarrassed themselves with their worst performance of the season in front of a sellout crowd. To make matters worse, Keeper Chris Seitz is out 4 to 6 weeks and Nick Rimando may not be ready for Saturday's match against DC United. Not a good time to play four of your next five games on the road where they are not only winless, but have yet to score a goal.

That's the number of games former Salt Lake Buzzman David Ortiz has sat on the bench. Red Sox skipper Terry Francona made the move after Big Papi went 34 games without a home run while batting just .208 to start the season. It's been sad to see this happen to one of the most entertaining personalities in the game.

That's the number of times Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has turned down a visit to the White House after winning a Super Bowl. First it was President Bush, now it's President Obama getting the snub from Harrison. [CLICK HERE](http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4174143) to hear his strange explanation. I still don't understand why you would want to pass up that opportunity?

minute. That is the amount of time the Boston Celtics led in Game 7 on their home floor. I think we all expected to see the Lakers easily finish off the undermanned Houston Rockets in Game 7 of their series, but you couldn't help but be impressed with Orlando's ability to dominate the Celtics on their home floor. Their reward? LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers who are perfect in the postseason and have had nine days of rest.
