Trivia

The name "Espn" for Jim's (Adam Sandler's) daughter (Emma Fuhrmann) in the movie came from Adam's visit to a barbecue restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida. The owner had pictures of his kids up, and one of their names was Espn. Adam thought it was a really fun name and asked the owner if he could use it in his new movie for one of his kids. Obviously, the owner was happy to oblige.

Jim (Adam Sandler) mentions that he manages a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Ridgefield. Ridgefield was the name of the town in which The Wedding Singer (1998) was set. The Wedding singer also starred Drew Barrymore.
