Saturday update

I’m late to the party reporting this, but Justin Timberlake is putting on a free show for his Memphis fans on Friday, January 19. The I Love Memphis blog has the details on how to score free tickets to this very exclusive show.

Bleacher Report proposes a 3-way Grizzlies/Lakers/Nets trade that would get Memphis below the luxury tax threshold – after all, we have almost no hope of making the playoffs with Ja out, so why would we pay the tax? The trade ships Smart, Kennard, Konchar, and X to L.A.

Momma’s will have the following cold weather specials while it’s snowing this weekend:

  • $5 Jameson
  • $5 Green Tea shots
  • $3 Fireball

Madaline Collins has a matinee performance at Momma’s today from 11 AM to 2 PM.

I found a good Facebook page yesterday, although (thanks, shitty hotel Wi-Fi) I can’t get it to come up this morning so I can get y’all a link: “White people making white people food”

The Grizzlies lost 128-119 to the L.A. Clippers last night. Desmond Bane left the game with an ankle injury. JJj gonna have to be a one-man show, it looks like. The Grizz are at home vs. the NY Knicks tonight at 7. Free Marcus Smart phone stand to the first 5000.

Former Tigers signee Mikey Williams has transferred to UCF. He never played a game for Penny due to out-of-state criminal charges. Good riddance. Memphis is better off without him.

It’s National Rubber Ducky Day. Pick one up at the Peabody’s gift shop.

There’s a Winter Storm Warning for Memphis from noon Sunday through 6 AM Tuesday. 3-5 inches of snow is likely for the area.

I have a Bardog gift card burning a hole in my pocket, so I’m gonna walk Downtown and get some breakfast sliders. One sausage, one ham, one bacon, each with cheese, fried egg, and spicy mayo. Back tomorrow with more news.
