So yesterday a little after 1, I was in Kroger buying drink mix and hitting up the $5 Wednesday sushi when the alerts went off. I keep my phone&#8217;s ringer off because I get so many telemarketer and spam calls, but that thing was vibrating in my pockets for a good two minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Presidential Message.&#8221; If anyone else were president it would have said something like &#8220;Emergency Services Message.&#8221; Trump has to make it all about him though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wreg.com\/2018\/10\/04\/phil-trenary-to-be-laid-to-rest-thursday\/https:\/\/wreg.com\/2018\/10\/04\/phil-trenary-to-be-laid-to-rest-thursday\/\">Phil Trenary will be laid to rest today.<\/a> The Greater Memphis Chamber president was shot on South Front a week ago today, walking home from a Chamber event at Loflin Yard.<\/p>\n<p>The sold-out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-basketball\/news\/justin-timberlake-and-drake-are-reportedly-set-to-make-penny-hardaways-first-memphis-madness-insane\/\">Memphis Madness<\/a> event is tonight at FedExForum. The Memphis Tigers men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s basketball teams will be introduced in this massive pep rally. We&#8217;ll get our first look at Penny Hardaway as Tigers men&#8217;s head coach. There will be live entertainment (exactly who shows up is a source of great speculation, with Justin Timberlake and Drake being two of the bigger names that have been put out there). There will be a 3-point contest and a dunk contest among the activities involving the players.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here are the event maps for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MemphisMadness?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MemphisMadness<\/a> tonight at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FedExForum?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FedExForum<\/a>!
