Thunder vs. Grizziles = Republicans vs. Democrats?

By Red Coleman On May 13, 2013 · Add Comment · In May 2013

I posted a link to this on Twitter (@3SOB) last week when it aired, but it probably deserves a little more attention. As Lee Smith pointed out to me, you know you have made it when the media starts mentioning you in non-basketball ways.

Quick background: Clay Bennett, owner of the [...]

A Day To Remember!

The Memphis Grizzlies’ new owner has finally made an impact on the team. Chris Wallace’s absence has finally been explained, and the expression, “Only in the movies and Memphis,” is going to be repeated a lot over the next few weeks, and hopefully for the next few years as well.

You can listen to the press conference in its entirety on Sports 56′s website.

Who’s Talking?

I had this great blog ready to run about the Rudy Gay trade rumors. Then the Grizzlies actually pulled off the deal. I felt it was dead so I shelved it.
