The deal will possibly push the Grizzlies into the NBA’s luxury tax in 2024=25.<\/p>\n
Point guard Derrick Rose, a member of the 2008 Memphis Tigers team that nearly won the national title, is the newest Grizzly<\/a>. His deal is for 2 years and is said to be worth $6.5 million.<\/p>\n I have some VERY important PBR news to share with you: Ben Yay’s sells the most delicious beer in the world, Pabst Blur Ribbon, during its happy hour Monday-Friday 2 to 6 PM.<\/p>\n Today is International Chicken Wing Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n I tried the new spinach artichoke dip at Blind Bear yesterday.<\/p>\n Cheesy and full of yummy goodness. Probably the first full serving of vegetables I’ve had in a while too. The dip is part of their new dinner menu (see Thursday’s post<\/a>).<\/p>\n People have been asking: Is the Bear’s Hibernation (late-night) menu gonna be revised too?

The dinner menu applies from 3 PM until the kitchen closes at 2 AM.<\/p>\n Today is the first day of the Blind Bear’s new brunch menu (11 AM to 3 PM – see Friday’s post<\/a>).

The first pitch is at 6:35.<\/p>\n Al Kapone is mixing two sounds of Memphis to create a blues rap album<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today is the next-to-last day of Frozen<\/a> at the Orpheum.<\/p>\n Australia has become the first nation in the world<\/a> to allow shrooms as a prescription medical treatment.<\/p>\n I’m heading out to Bardoh brunch with my friends Randy & Theresa for the first time in 3 weeks. It sounds like Butt Slut #1 won’t be able to join us today but maybe she’ll change her mind.
