The Vols are an embarrassment to college athletics and it would be nice if Michigan sent them home from the tournament.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Flyer reports that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.memphisflyer.com\/paula-raifords-disco-has-its-own-beer-and-seltzer\">Paula &amp; Raiford&#8217;s Disco now has its own beer and seltzer<\/a>. She partnered with Grind City Brewing Co. and they produced Hollywood Hustle, a tribute to Paula&#8217;s dad, the late Robert Raiford. The beer is a classic, easy-to-drink American pilsner. Paula has a seltzer of her own, Disco Dynamite, a gin &amp; juice seltzer. The new beverages will have a preview party Monday, March 21 at Grind City from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. The date is significant because that&#8217;s Paula&#8217;s birthday and the next day is the anniversary of Mr. Raiford&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wreg.com\/news\/man-arrested-in-shooting-outside-downtown-club\/\">Charges have been filed<\/a> in the February 1 2:20 AM shooting at Main and Peabody Place in which a man was injured, shot in the back of both legs.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden State Warriors say <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/10030065-warriors-stephen-curry-reportedly-out-indefinitely-after-suffering-foot-injury\">Steph Curry is out indefinitely with a foot injury<\/a>. There&#8217;s said to be &#8220;optimism&#8221; Steph will return in time for the playoffs &#8211; which means he&#8217;ll be out for the rest of the regular season. The Grizzlies hold a 1-game lead over Golden State for the 2-seed in the West and Steph&#8217;s absence increases the chance they&#8217;ll hold on to it.<\/p>\n<p>Flava House has expanded to a second Downtown location, at 302 S. Main near the intersection of Pontotoc.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies play the Atlanta Hawks at 6:30 tonight on NBA TV.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today. Happy to watch a day of NCAA tournament basketball where I don&#8217;t have to be for or against any team.
