Welcome to the world, Riley Elle Martin. 5 pounds and 12 ounces of perfection arrived at 12:08 this morning. And my amazing wife did it all with no freaking epidural. Everybody’s happy and healthy. And I’m a glass case of emotion.

In a city starving for reliable public transit, MATA's Amex was used to pay $293,000 for a suite at Grizzlies games in 2023-24. The money came from the public agency's operating budget. Outrageous.

The trade was even worse than I thought it would be, amazing work by that Titans front office per usual.

It’s July 25th, 2025 and we have zero updates on Smoothie King Center renovations. Pels/Saints ownership and the LSED (state agency in charge of arena/superdome etc) were publicly fighting over just $11 million in Superdome renovations last year. Pels lease expires in 2029.

ESPN's @finebaum weighed in on the Big 12's rejection of Memphis during a radio hit Wednesday on @929espn's Jason & John. "It's really an absolute disgrace. I just think it's idiotic. But, then again, Brett Yormark is really a failed commissioner." 😳

The Tigers don’t tip off their 2025-26 season for another three-plus months, but Memphis now knows who they’ll face and where.

If we assume that the urgency is at nuclear levels at Memphis, here’s what the Tigers should do: Take most of that money they were willing to give to the Big 12 and give it to the Big East. It’s time to rescue Memphis basketball.

The Showboats never had a prayer here. It's already semi-pro football and they were awful from the start. Never attended a game and never felt compelled to. I will say, they lasted two more seasons than I thought they would.
