Poor Jaren Jackson Jr. He was the last one to be picked for a team by captains LeBron and Giannis for the NBA All-Star Game. I know how that feels. I skipped first grade, so I was undersized compared to my classmates and as a result, I was frequently picked last for teams in P..E. class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The difference is, Jaren makes $105 million over a span of 4 seasons and I don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As usual, there was no defense at all in the game. Team Giannis (including Ja) beat Team LeBron (including Jaren) 184-175.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the All-Star Break over, the Grizzlies travel to Philly to take on the 76ers Thursday at 6:30. TV: TNT<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Penny’s Tigers lost to Houston 72-64 yesterday. I can’t imagine the NCAA tournament committee penalizing Memphis much for losing a road game to the #2 team in the country. The good news? Houston has to come here March 5 and play the Tigers in front of a rowdy FedExForum crowd celebrating the ’72-’73 Tigers that went to the Final Four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DM has a recap<\/a> of yesterday’s Youth Villages Soup Sunday event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today is Hoodie Hoo Day<\/a> in the Northern Hemisphere. Trouble is, it’s bordering on too warm to wear a hoodie – it’s 60 as I type this at 6:20 AM going to a high of 71. More like Shortsie Hoo Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dammit I won’t get to pull Butt Slut #1’s hoodie over her head on Hoodie Hoo Day! She does lunch with her co-workers at Slider Inn Midtown on Mondays. I owe her one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gus’s Fried Chicken is coming to Ahwatukee<\/a>, a suburb of Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MATA is hiring trolley operators<\/a> as well as fixed-route drivers and mechanics. $3000 sign-on bonus. They offer 401(k), health care, and in-house CDL training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Little Rock’s own Joey Barrett<\/a> plays the Blind Bear Thursday from 10 PM to 1 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Former DNA president Jerred Price brings his Almost Elton John<\/a> show to IBIS, 314 S. Main, Thursday at 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silky’s will have a Mardi Gras party<\/a> on the patio this Tuesday with a crawfish boil and beads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Broom Closet is hosting a New Moon Sound Bath<\/a> tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s it. Happy Presidents Day to those of you who have it off! Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Poor Jaren Jackson Jr. He was the last one to be picked for a team by captains LeBron and Giannis for the NBA All-Star Game.
