Summary

TV Voice for the Utah Jazz Craig Bolerjack chats it up with me today as we look back on the storied Utah Jazz characters including Hot Rod Hundley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Jerry Sloane and today's young stars like Donovan Mitchell. We also drift into a discussion of some of the favorite stadiums in the SEC as Craig also did collegiate and even NFL football broadcasts. His history and associations with so many people really makes our show a fun and informative one. I hope you'll pull up a chair and join us. Learn more about your ad choices.
