Utah Jazz Exposed: Team Not Particularly Grateful for Fan Support This Year
The Jazz uploaded a video of ownership, management, arena staff, and players thanking fans and expressing their sincere, heartfelt gratitude for fan support today. In a shocking twist, @andyblarsen points out that most of the video was recycled from last year’s “thank you” video. *dramatic, scandalicious gasp*

** Steve Brown (probable reason: Brown says “See you in 2011-2012″)
** Matt Harpring (probable reason: Harpring says he wants to see more heads on sticks, which are now banned at EnergySolutions Arena unless the stick is less than 18″ long)
** Frank Layden (probable reason: Jazz don’t like reminders that there were coaches before Tyrone Corbin)
Aww man! I kind of liked that Thank You video.
Wow, talk about a PR fiasco. Seriously, that was awful. The Jazz really have to stop jackpotting around.
Wow! That is an impressive find. It’s unfortunate they don’t care to make a new video!
man …. editing video like they were wearing tuxedos at the time
no problem Jazz workers …. just give us video of Jeremy Evans jumping over the hoop at a Junior Jazz event this summer in smalltown Wyoming :)
