I’m obviously on leave this week as we get Myles Blue acclimated home and to his siblings. Three kids is a madhouse lol. But if you’ll indulge me I’d really like to talk about the “Blue” part of his name.

- I'll never forget how liberating it was in 2018 to cut the cord & subscribe to YoutubeTV. They even had the regional sports networks! All for like $39 a month. Finally. The consumer is winning! Today: It's $82.99. And now there's no ESPN or Disney. Nothing good ever lasts kids
- Ja Morant got discovered on accident because an assistant coach wanted some Doritos, and some of y'all mad because he's doing tequila shots on the way to starting in the All-Star Game? 🥴🥴
- Source: A prominent University of Memphis booster has informed the school that he will match, and then double, whatever donations the school might lose as a result of the Black Lives Matter helmet decal.
- Chandler Parsons speaks on what really happened when he signed with the Grizzlies. We knew this but I can’t believe bro said the quiet part out loud 😂😂
00:00 - Quick question. Why in the fuck is ESPN discussing this?"It's moving in the right direction, but it's still recognized as one of the worst cities in America. To the point where the head of the FBI has called it 'the murder capital of this country' per capita. That's on the record." - Stephen A. Smith discussing Memphis on First Take
00:00 - Stephen A. Smith doesn’t even watch the basketball games he’s paid handsomely to cover. And now ESPN is presenting him as a socioeconomic expert on the city of Memphis. Absolutely shameful.
- Tee Morant on what he had to say to his son after his record-breaking 47-point performance in Game 2: "Nothing. If he had 60, they would've won the game."
- If the Cincinnati Bengals can go to the Super Bowl this season, then dammit the Memphis Grizzlies can go to the NBA Finals. 🅿️
- The Grizzlies play the 76ers tomorrow. Joel Embiid left this comment on Chandler Parsons’ instagram. 😂😂
- When Josh Pastner was at Memphis, he would call my dad, an alcoholic, randomly to check in and make sure he was doing OK. That’s the kind of dude he is.
- Unbelievable behavior by Lu Dort to contest that dunk down 27, should be ejected honestly. No place for that in the game.
- Tee Morant says on the show Jazz fans were also heckling Dillon Brooks family, calling them "half-breeds."
- What time do the Warriors start whooping that trick?
