Thursday update

First of all, I want to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my buddy Big Andrew! Drew is one of the people who makes Downtown a special place just by his presence. A room is always brighter when he’s in it.

Congrats to the Tigers on a nice 99-81 win over South Florida last night.

The NBA trade deadline is today at 2. Grizzly Bear Blues has a primer and predictions.

  • 30 wings for $20
  • 50 wings for $28
  • 100 wings for $55
  • 200 wings for $105

Those prices are pretty incredible. Call 901-417-8435 to place an order.

Restaurant folks – I have the name of that scammer who’s been running around town running up big tabs he’s unable to pay. paul@paulryburn.com or hit me up on text or Facebook Messenger if you want it.

It’s Pizza Pie Day and of course my recommendation is Aldo’s.

Jerry “The King” Lawler is expected to make a full recovery from the massive stroke he had Monday. For now his speech is somewhat limited.

Heading out to help Big Drew celebrate his birthday. Back tomorrow.
