This is Hance Olsen and Scotty G on 975 the KSL Sports Zone. Hans Olsson, Scott Gerard, 975, the KSL Sports Zone. All right, time for the great David Lock to join us. playbyplay voice of the Utah Jazz. David, how the heck are you? Hi, David. Well, that green day fired me up a little bit. Love a little green day. You know, it’s funny as I my gym workout today, there’s a lot of food fighters going and that whole genre feels like for whatever reason like feels right today. I like fired up. I mean, I’m I’m not I I don’t know if Lloyd was mentioning something about us when he plays American Idiot. I don’t know if that was like a reference to Me and Hands. I don’t know. But, uh, we’re gonna let that slide. Have you, uh, did you ever get fortunate enough to see the Green Day American Broadway? Oh, I did. It was really great. It was, it’s, it’s one of I mean, other than Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen, which are just on a different level entirely. And but I thought like I took the Green Day Show. I like that better than Cats or some of the other traditionals. I thought it was really brill. Well, David, I caught a couple of your questions at the presser. What What was your overall take of the initial presser for your new president of basketball operations? It’s Austin’s show. That was the comment that got me. Y Brian Smith said, “This is Austin’s show.” Um, and that like that I’m not sure I fully understood that when I walked in the room. Like I I’m not sure I entirely understand like where presence of basketball operation fits in the realm of all these titles. I got it now. It’s clear to me now. So that was while I think I well the two comments that I thought were most newsworthy or most important to me were not the ones that were most newsworthy. I think number one was it’s Austin show. And then the second one that I thought was most interesting was players want to have hope and they want to win. And I took to that as a more important comment than the sound bite everyone’s grabbing on about tanking. I thought that was I thought that they want to have hope and they want to win was a far more important cultural philosophical philosophy of what’s going to move forward with the Utah Jazz than anything else. There was a line that we played earlier that I thought was interesting when he was giving that answer to the question, but but he told uh he told DJ and PK this morning that he said the toll that last year and years like that can take on a player and the you know the the cost. And this was in reference to, you know, ma, you know, hey, how important is that pick next year and not conveying it to Memphis and and doing what you can to make sure you hold on to it? And he goes, well, it’s a big part of what we do, but we also have to take into consideration the toll that it might take on our players to have a season where that does not convey. And I thought that was interesting because that is a fine line that the Jazz need to start walking. So yes, I will be I I I will go on the record and Austin can tell me I’m wrong. This can be our first conversation we’ve ever had in our lives with him telling me I’m wrong at 214 on the 3rd of June with the right to have my opinion changed by people. I will be flabbergasted if we’re not taking our own draft pick next year. I will be flabbergasted. Now, one of the things that I think you can do, I would argue, and this is to no one’s fault, but I would argue that Washington had more hope and their players felt like they were playing to win more than Utah last year. Okay. And what I mean by that is that roster just was that roster and they played it every night. But when you get into the game, what I think Austin’s talking about is, and I’m not sure we had a choice, but when you get into the realm of manipulating minutes and availability and games and those type of things, that’s where I think he’s talking about having a cost on your players. But if we roll out a lineup next year of Keonte George, Trey Johnson, Lowry Markin, Taylor Hendris, Walker Kesler with Isaiah Collier, Bryce Sensah, Will Riley, and Kyle Filipowski coming off the bench. and we win 21 games cuz that’s what that group was capable of winning. But they begin to form a collective personality, a collective togetherness that gives them hope toward winning. I think that fulfills what that’s why I think that comment was so important. I do not take these comments as we’re winning 38, 42, 45 games next year. I mean that the lack of direction is or the obvious prevention of direction is where damage can be done. Okay. So with that in mind then you’re looking at the jazz by and by the way let let me be let me be clear on one thing. I’m interpreting a guy’s comments I’ve never talked to in my entire life. Like usually I know these guys really well. when they say something, I understand where they’re coming. I don’t know Austin A in the slightest. Never talk to him. Not no criticism here. I’m not upset about it. Well, there’s no reason he and I should have should have ever interacted in our lifetime. It just hasn’t happened. So, for me to put words in his mouth is pretty suspect, but that’s what I thought he meant by that. But that’s the same thing I would think about someone who, you know, really truly never talked to in my whole life. So, my credibility here is really slim. Well, I think but I think I think you can have hope and hope doesn’t have to be where you’re going to finish April 15th of 2025 or April 15th of 2026. It can be where you’re going to finish in 2027, 2028 as a group. I think Oklahoma City has had a hope now for quite some time. So, I I think that the DJ and PK interview, he clarified a lot of that. And I think that uh I I don’t think you’re going out on a limb with what you’re saying there uh based on what he said this morning too with uh with with our morning show. So uh that being said, uh there’s Hey, by the way, is is there a place where I could listen to that interview after you’ve teased it three times? So, well, if I’m a listener and I didn’t know that that interview had taken place and I wanted to hear a longer form with him, where where could I hear something like that, Scotty? That would be at kslports.com or any of your podcasting feed. just search DJ and PK uh after you subscribe to the Hands and Scotty feed too uh because that’s uh equally important. All right. Uh so when you uh when you look at this team coming up next year with everything you know um I I 1,000% agree with you that the Jazz will be picking but uh will will need to be using their own selection next year. But you just can’t get to 30 wins and hope that you don’t get leaprogged and pushed down from 8 to 10 like the Jazz did two years ago. So Tim Lome had an interesting comment where he mentioned that Ryan Smith told him that they had ran some analytics and if that team was healthy and there wasn’t manipulation going on last year that that was a 35 win team based on their analytics. uh 35 might be a bit too much if you want to be selecting eight or lower in the upcoming NFL draft or NBA draft in 2026. So, it makes me wonder what type of roster this team would have to have to still have hope but also make sure that you’re picking, you know, in that 8 to one range next year. I just gave it to you, Re. You didn’t think that that I mean that nineman rotation I just gave to you was the answer, wasn’t it? That g that still gives you the hope though. That g I know that gives me uh sure because because the hope is that Keonte George and Trey Johnson form a Texas twostep that’s going to lead them to a back court of the future and you know Walker Kesler continues to develop and um Taylor I don’t I don’t think that gives you I don’t think that gives you hope. I think hope comes in the Who’s hope? Well, I think who’s hope? Who’s hope? Like you’re talking about a a fans hope that wants to play a playoff game in April. No. No. No. I’m talking about a team because you mentioned Oklahoma City. I think Oklahoma City got hope when some guy named Shay Gilis Alexander started playing well. And then everybody’s like, “Okay, I see what we have here in that locker room.” I don’t know if there’s a Shay Gil just Alexander on this roster right now. Well, there’s not. And so the question is, does Trey Johnson become that or does our draft pick next year become that? Or in a day and age where trades are easier to make, which is what Austin H said yesterday in the press conference, are we suddenly able to acquire talent in a much easier fashion than you used to be? I I could do a thought exercise with you here on how I be am beginning to think rebuilds are going to be faster and easier than ever before under this new collective bargaining agreement. And that’s the next piece like the first piece of the impact of that collective bargaining agreement is that super teams or super combinations of high paid players is now a losing combination. That’s over. That’s the big huge change that just happened. Yeah, we’ve discussed that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this was like, by the way, they signed the new collective bar agreement. They put in this weird first apron, second apron. We all talked about it for like trying to figure out this might have been one of the most transformationational things that’s ever happened in this league because I think the next one is when you suddenly can’t have two more than two superstars on your team or two really high paid players like Trey Young’s got to get traded. Carl Anthony Towns has got to get traded again. Like there’s guys that have got to get moved here. Teams have got to move them. And so you’re going to distribute these players more around the 30 teams much more than they’ve ever been before if they want to get paid or or going to be on winning teams. And so I’m beginning to wonder if the next thing that’s going to happen is that rebuilds happen just d much faster than ever before because the two best players on the best teams are Shay Gilus Alexander and Chadrim. But Jaylen Williams got to go eventually. Yeah. Now they’re three years away from that, but you know, Tyrese Hallebertton and Pascal Seakum stay, but Miles Turner’s got to go. And OG Anobi and um you know, Jaylen Brunson and Miles Bridges stay, but Carl Anthony Towns has got to go. And so there’s just players available everywhere. Before we uh before we let you go, how surprised are you with the Tom Tibido news? pretty stunned. They just went to the Eastern Conference Finals, right? Yeah. First time in the since the 90s. Yeah, he’s a really good coach. I mean, it did sound the one thing I would say is boy, it sound like there’s a lot of turmoil there, right? Yeah. Like you had the Miles Bridges thing about them not wanting to play minutes and then it does sound like they had like three players only meetings during the playoffs. Well, I mean, a players only meeting is kind of cute. once, but three of them mean you’re only talking about one other one person. They’re not invited, right? Yep. Like if you’re having a familyonly meeting without Scotty G three times in the span of three weeks, who do you think they’re talking about? Uh yeah, sounds hands. Who are they talking about? Sounds like a Tuesday at the Gerard House. That license is coming in handy, isn’t it? I know, right? Hans, what happens if they have an Olsson family meeting and Hans isn’t invited? No such thing exists, David. Okay. Because otherwise, you just give them a big bear hug when they come on their way out. That’s about it. Okay, David. Just want to make sure. Appreciate it as always. Thanks for your time. All right. You know, I’m I’m going to take your advice. I’m going to go listen to that DJ and PK interview. You should. It’s available for you at the DJ and PK podcast feed. Really? Subscribe. Leave a rating. I hear podcasts are good. Yeah. I I don’t know. Uh, I think the juryy’s still out. I don’t know if they’re going to catch on or not. We’ll see. You let me know. All right, we’ll do. Thanks, David. Okay, David Lock, playby-play voice of the Utah Jazz right here on 975 the KSL Sports Zone. All right, coming up, we’ll spin the wheel. Little sports roulette straight ahead right here on the zone on 975, the KSL Sports. [Music] Hans and Scotty 975 the KSL Sports Zone. It is time for another edition of Sports Roulette. Take some of the big story lines, put it on roulette wheel. We spin it. Wherever that little ball lands is what we end up talking about. Uh, by the way, if you want to listen to that DJ and PK interview, it’s available for you at kslsports.com. It was good. It was really good. It’s actually really good conversation. Good stuff. Austin. Yeah. Got a lot more info. Yeah. Yep. Very good. Very good. There’s other trash out there that you don’t need to pay attention to. Nope. Don’t need to worry about that nonsense. Not going to do you any good at all. All right, Lloyd, fire up that will. Let’s do it. [Applause] What the Utah Jazz need to do. All right, so a point that I was trying to make before I was cut off for the third time. um something interesting about the Utah Jazz current situation and going back to the DJ and PK conversation where they asked about the conveyance of this year’s first round pick and or sorry next year’s first round pick and how important it is that they finish with at least the top eighth pick or better and just doing a little bit of research and figuring out where that puts you. The Jazz really the Jazz really need to avoid finishing fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth. If they finish with one of those five records, the fifth worst, sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth worst record, that puts them in the draft lottery potential to hit at number nine. So, it gets taken out of your hands. Yeah. So, you better control what you can’t control, which means that you got to finish with at least the fourth worst, but one of the top four worst records in the NBA to completely avoid it. I’ll give you the percentage breakdown. If you finish with the fifth worst record, it gives you a 62% chance, which it’s still a chance. Yeah. And with the Jazz luck, who the hell knows anymore? Exactly. If you finish with the sixth worst record, 3.68% 68% chance. Seventh 12.8. Eighth 32.10%. So if I’m trying to, you know, like I I want the eighth pick. Yeah. If I finish with the eighth worst record, I’ve actually got a 32% chance nearly. Well, and not triple, but more than double the percent chance you just had at number one when you finished in the bottom three. So you got to completely avoid being around that eighth. And then if I finish it with the ninth, it’s 50%. It’s actually 51%. So I’ve got to finish with the fourth fourth worst record or worse in order to completely stay out of the where it’s taken out of my control and put into the lottery. And the last thing I’m doing anymore is risking anything with the lottery. No. No. Not with not with the jazz luck and where they’re at right now. Can’t do it. And so if I’m the Mammoth, maybe I I mess around, but not with the Jazz with the luck they they’ve got. Uh yeah, I you’re right. I don’t feel comfortable. I feel okay at five, but not great. Again, 62 less than 1%. But but it’s a chance. But it’s a chance. And again, as you mentioned, given the Jazz luck, uh, yeah, this team, if if they win 30 plus games, they’re giving that pick to OKC. So, yes. So, they need to they need to be in that that would be they need to be in that 20 to 24 range. That would be absolutely accurate. That would put you around fifth or sixth. Gee, even then that’s not So 30 wins Yeah. was seventh this year. Yeah. That’s not Yeah. Not good. You’re giving that pick. You’re giving that pickup. Yep. Yep. So you’re going to have to You got to look at 24 to 25 wins. That’s another tank job. That’s another quote unquote manipulated season. Yeah. And you have to you you have to manufacture 24 wins. And David and I got a little sideways. He thinks that you can have hope with this roster. No, you can’t. You can’t because there’s no You have hope when you have a guy named Shay Gilis Alexander. And you knew really quickly he was going to be good. That there’s no hope. No. With that roster. There’s none. And that’s like you just have to you have to figure out who you’re going to be. You can’t walk both sides. you’re either getting better or you’re playing for draft position next year. Now, after that, do whatever you need to do, but that number eight pick in that year’s draft, like whether you’re picking 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight, you’re going to get a really good player next year’s draft. Next year’s draft is loaded. You can’t, even if you sacrifice a little hope and a little culture, you don’t want to screw with next year’s draft. Well, and I got to tell you, just so people understand because they’re probably tuning in, they’re like, “What are you even talking about? First, second, worst, eighth pick, conveyance. What are you talking about?” Well, you go back. Derek Favors and the trade put a Jazz first round pick on the block for OKC. Yep. And it was top 10 protected, top 10 protected, and this year it is top eight protected, which means the Jazz have to finish with the fourth worst record or worse in order to completely avoid being anything lower than eight, which would then become OKC’s pick. The Jazz luck, let’s just say that they finish with the fifth worst record, 62% chance hits. You land at the number nine spot in the draft lottery. You hand OKC the ninth overall pick in the 2026 draft. You can’t mess with that. Now, here’s the good news. After this year, it’s done. Yeah. It’s wiped clean. You don’t have to worry about the conveyance anymore, which means Derek Favors and the move was essentially free. Yeah. So, they’re going to avoid it. That is a major cost if they just by chance hit at number nine because they finished with the sixth worst record and that 7% chance hit. Scotty, you think missing on number one was bad? Having to convey that over because oh, we wanted to get cute, win some games, we wanted to show and flex. No, man. like either get re get get going and get real and get competitive or do what you did last year but don’t mess around with 30 wins. Yeah, I would say it’s more if if you were willing to do it last year, you definitely need to be doing it next year because that’s more important than what happened this past year. Like falling from one to five sucked, but you still have a top five pick, right? Not having a top eight pick in next year’s draft go is a colossal setback to have that rug pulled out from just the whole pick is gone on draft lottery. I mean at the end of the day the Jazz are still going to come away with a good a good player this year. Now he’s not a generational player like Cooper Flag but you’re going to come away with a really good player. Um next year if you screw around and win too much you’re going to come away with no players. Hope you like them apples. Would you imagine that? Yeah, that’s a bad deal right there. All right, Lloyd, spin it. [Applause] Would you spend $160 on this ticket? I love I love asking you these questions because you a lot of people will say you Hans Olsson are frugal. I will not I I don’t necessarily agree with that. You are just very picky with how you spend your money. If there’s something you’re passionate about, you’ll spend the money. Yeah, I spent $220 per ticket on a David Gay concert. So, if it’s important to you, you’ll spend it. Yeah. So, let me ask you this. You have a chance to go get a one-day pass. And I’m not going to tell you what day it is, whether it’s a Thursday or whether it’s a Sunday. A one-day pass to the Masters. Would you spend $160 on that ticket? What does that pass give me access to? Just you’re in the gallery. You’re running from hole to hole. Wander the grounds. Yeah. Oh, just a chance. No, no, you get that. You get a ticket. 160. You get it. You get it. Oh, yeah. One day pass. Yeah. And it’s not a full tournament. And it could be a Thursday or it could be a Sunday. Amazing. You’re sitting there having pimento cheese sandwiches. Yep. Yeah. I’m in for sure. So, they’ve actually raised the prices. It was 140. Now, next year it’s going to 160. Wait, wait. I I’ve heard the passes are like you can’t find anything less than four grand. Uh, no. But the problem is it’s a lottery and trying to get into it. Now, when they hit the secondary market, that’s when prices get crazy. So, but the Masters wants no part of that. So, they’re actually raising the prices because they are cutting out the secondary market completely. Oh, if they want full control if they find out that you purchased a pass on a secondary market and it’s a legitimate pass, they won’t let you in. Oh my gosh. So, they’re just going to completely eliminate it. Yeah. Because everything that I’ve ever heard of was purchased off a secondary market. Yeah. So, they want complete control over their ticket distribution and uh and it’s all via their organization’s website. So, you go into the lottery and if you get a pass, it’s only $160 for a day pass. I don’t know what a whole tournament pass or if that’s even available. Um, but just know you’re going to spend that $160 and only you can go into that thing. So, I by the way that that’s the only course that I’d do it on. Like I wouldn’t do that for the Open. I wouldn’t, you know, I wouldn’t do that for any one of the St. Andrews. No. Okay. N Pebble Beach. No. don’t care. Okay. Only one course that’s Augusta that I’d pay the 160. I’d pay up to probably five 450 to 500 bucks. Really? Yeah. And it it would be a one-time thing. Yep. I would never pay it again. I would pay it once. I’m the same way. And I would want to walk the grounds and I would take in every sight and every sound and every color and every flower that I possibly could and I would eat every thing on the menu and I would just take in a full master’s day. I’d pay 450 to 500 bucks. What about you? Uh yeah, I’d do that for one day on the tour and then but I’m the same. I’d never do it in any other course. Pebble Beach doesn’t move the meter for me. St. Andrews, uh Pinehurst, maybe just because I’ve got some emotional ties to that area, but probably even they’re not. Uh but but the Masters, yeah, I would do that. So you’re not and I would never do it again. You’re not telling me that I have to put in the $160 to get in the lottery. No, you put in the lottery and if you win, now granted there’s millions of people. The chances of you winning the lottery and getting are slim to none. But is the lottery anyone can admit in? Yeah. Yeah. In fact, you go to In fact, I saw a link the other day that you could submit your name. Uh it uh I think it’s open now. They’ll close it in July or you’ll find out in the end of July if you’ve won or not. But then you at that point you get a $160 ticket, but then you got to all right, we got to fly to Atlanta, get tickets to Atlanta. Then we got to get a rental car to go to Augusta. We got to get housing, which is going to be crazy expensive. Yeah. You’re going to have to house over an hour away. Yeah. To find anything for less than thousand bucks a day. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You imagine being a homeowner in Augusta? I would uh you know, you rent out your house for a week, you probably pay your mortgage for the whole year. I’d put it at 10 grand a night. Yeah. There’s people that show up with that kind of money, they just they don’t care. If you’re in walking distance to the course, heck yeah. You’re you’re making bank. Yeah. Just on that one week. Well, that’s why, you know, the the Olympics coming back around. That that’s what a lot of people here in Utah did for the Olympics, wasn’t it? Yeah. They put their house up for the week or for two weeks or whatever it was and people came in and rented it at whatever number somebody wanted to sign. I know at the time my my uncle had a house on on uh Deer Valley. Yeah, the slope. I bet he did. Well, he had a house on Deer Valley on the slope and he was like, “Yeah, don’t need it for that week.” Two weeks. Yeah, take it. I think they made a lot of money. That’d be nice. All right, hands and Scotty 975 the KSL Sports Zone. Uh, coming up next, we’ll wrap up this show. Get you ready for JJ and Alex. It’s all straight ahead right here on the zone. Time to Han Soul and Scotty Chin. That’s right. On 975, the KSL Sports Zone. Hey, it’s your Hercules hero of the week. We do it every week right here on 975, the KSL Sports Zone. Remember, it’s your chance to uh nominate the local sports hero that’s volunteering their time and their effort. Go to kslports.com/contest, submit your nominations, and then JJ and Alex will announce winner every Thursday. It’s your Hercules Hero of the Week brought to you by Hercules Credit Union as well as Beehive Mills. It’s a little bit of a Christmas Eve for me. Just a little bit cuz we’ll sleep tonight and then tomorrow we get NHL. Yes. finals action between the Panthers and the Oilers. And game one, I just know just based off the Panthers, game one is going to be a flexoff. Oh yeah. And mark my words. In fact, I’d put a big bet on this. Whoever wins game one, series is over. They win the series. Whoever wins game one, series is over. They win the series. Uh, okay. Tell you what, I’ll go like a two for one on that. Really? Yeah. I’ll give you odds on that because this is just this is hockey. Let me watch game one and get the vibe of the game, but there’s a chance that we might have an avatar on this one. Okay, let’s let’s watch because Yeah. Yeah. Okay, fine. I’ll even let you take that bet after, but with fewer odds. Yeah. But this is what it is, man. The NHL is the pit bull in the neighborhood walking by the fire hydrant and he lifts that leg on that fire hydrant and he’s like, “This is mine.” That’s game one in the NHL. Yeah. It’s the big dog peeing on the hydrant and marking his area and saying, “This is my Stanley Cup.” So, the Oilers better show up. And I talked about Daddle and I talked about McDavid and I talked about the the entirety of that Oilers team. Like those guys better show up and they better win game one. Otherwise, well, there’s a cook just like they were last year. And and you can’t go around talking about McDavid and how he banged up he is because that’s like throwing fresh meat in front of the Show me the injury. Did you see the guy with the ankle injury and got slashed? Yeah. On the ankle. Guy came back with a stick and just bam right across the ankle. Like I gotta imagine if you were when you were at BYU and all of a sudden you hear like oh this you know Moses Mareno that was a quarterback at Colorado State right? How’s that for a poll? Moses Moreno this guy. You know what’s interesting about Moses? Nothing. But let’s say you’re about ready to play Colorado State big game and uh you’re reading in a newspaper that he’s uh suffering from an ankle injury. All right. You’re like yeah we’re gonna hit him. Okay. Yep. or he’s got a hip pointer. All right, we’re gonna put a helmet on that hip. Yeah, I’ll go to my grave denying it, but we’re going to hit that ankle. Yeah. Yep. So, like, and the NHL is 10 times more vindictive at that. And and the and not only is the NHL, you take 10 times of the NHL and then you take the Florida Panthers and times it by another 10 because they’re the angriest bunch of sobs on the planet. Oh boy, are they ever. Hey, you know how I was talking about uh Dry Cidle and McDavid combining for 51 points? Just to talk about the kind of the the dramatic difference of the two, your top two scores for the Panthers are Barov and Bennett and they combine for 32. So 51 between your top two for Oilers, 32 between the top two for Florida because this is the way I want to build an NHL team. I want to build it. There are, let’s see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. There are 10 Florida Panthers in doubledigit scoring in postseason play alone. Just in postseason play, and it’s it’s quite the opposite with the Oilers. Now, the Oilers know who their guys are. You don’t know who Florida’s coming at you with. No, you don’t know what the exact attack is. You just know you’re going to get brutally beat. That’s how I want to build a team. It’s why I want, and I know that we argued this a little bit, but uh I really want Sam Bennett on this Utah Mammoth team. I do too. I do too. But I’d still take Marty over. I know. I know because I just think that Yeah. No, I love Bennett. And he he’ll come with three straight runs to the Stanley Cup, but I want Martyr because he’ll come with the biggest double-bladed axe to grind. Yeah, he’s gonna have a that the size of that chip on his shoulder is going to be the size of a small country. Pure disgust and anger. Yeah. And but on that mammoth ice, I’m assuming that’s his part of his DNA. I hope that is. I think it is. But but you kind of have to be to be playing at that level in that sport. But whether it was Mar or Sam Bennett, man, give it give me one of those two. Yeah, I’ll buy a Sam Bennett sweater tomorrow if they if he’s announced as a mammoth. And I’m not even a uh a jerseyw wearing guy, but I’ll buy a Sam Bennett sweater. I think Ryan Smith should make this happen just to get a Ryan Bennett or Sam Bennett sweater on you. Yeah, I’ll have my kid wear it. I don’t know. Like guys that wear I for some reason it seems a little bit more acceptable in hockey. Like a guy wearing a basketball jersey. Nuh-uh. If you’re over 26 years old, you should not be wearing a basketball jersey, especially if you’re not if you don’t have the t-shirt on underneath it. Uh, a football jersey, same thing. Maybe a little bit older, but for whatever reason, and Lloyd, jump in. I think it’s a little bit more acceptable for grown men to wear hockey jerseys. Did Did Adam Sandler make that more thing?
