As Seen In A Local Greasy Spoon...

 On my day off my wife and I decided to visit a local restaurant for breakfast. It's the very definition of a "Greasy Spoon" and the food lived up to the reputation. The place was basically empty (slow morning, I guess...) so I took a little stroll looking for interesting things to see.

That's where I found this...

A team photo of Gordon Hayward.

That simple photograph tells a lot about the restaurant.

For those of you who don't know who Gordon Hayward is, he's a professional NBA basketball player who recently announced his retirement after14 years in the league. He played for our local NBA team from 2010 to 2013 when he left in a not-so-amicable manner. Many die-hard Utah Jazz fans would not be thrilled to see this particular photo hanging in a local establishment.

Part of the reason it's probably been allowed to remain is because the owner was not a big Utah Jazz fan. Plus, it's supposedly signed which makes it kind of cool, so maybe the owner thought that the patrons might enjoy seeing the framed photo. Also, we're a 90 minute drive to any local games which a true fan might not want to live so far away from the action. Add to the fact that the restaurant has changed hands three times in the past two years means that the person who originally hung the photo is no longer with the company and will not face any fan backlash seeing #20's face smiling at the patrons.

Of course, my theories could be completely wrong about why the picture remains hanging on a wall in a local restaurant. It is hanging in the hallway that leads to the bathrooms, after all.
