A third won Elvis glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of last night, the Grizzlies were only +900 (bet 100 to win 900) on Caesar&#8217;s Sportsbook to win the NBA championship. Shortest odds I&#8217;ve seen on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/memphis\/news\/st-louis-cardinals-announce-2023-staff-assignments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ben Johnson will be back<\/a> as manager of the Redbirds in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atomic Rose is looking to hire<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jobs\/job-opening\/2880478138883818\/?source=share\" target=\"_blank\"> an expo cook on Sundays<\/a>. 10 AM to 4 PM, $20\/hour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memphis Made is having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/s\/australia-day\/611390097462591\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Australia Day<\/a> in its taproom next Thursday.
