@LogJams901 @JWinters489 I agree in this sense: when the goal is to get into a new conference, every season you don't make it means the next one is critical. This one is doubly so because it is critical the new stadium is a success.

[Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins]

@JWinters489 We do agree about Ryan. That guy was a downer before he quit on the team.

@PAKA_FLOCKA @NoCeilingsNBA Congrats!

LA Medical Examiner report on Brandon Clarke's death suggests he may have had history of drug use with prior stints at a rehabilitation program.

Heroin and cocaine caused his death with multiple prescription medications listed as contributory.

@HottyTottyNash @Matt_Calkins Also, Matt spells Calkins correctly. (He's a good dude, very talented; if we're related, it's distant; but I admire his work and his principles).

Pierre and I both arrived in Memphis 30 years ago. Thrilled to have him join the DM.

Scottie Scheffler lit up the FESJC. And he had the perfect guy keeping his score.

Memphian Michael Spano made his 101st and last walk of the back nine. His brother is dying of cancer.

New column: Scottie Scheffler won the FESJC in runaway fashion today. Twenty-five years ago, Bob Estes won a nail-biter in Memphis. Today Estes was at TPC Southwind reliving the memories and catching up with old friends ... https://t.co/COTNulUIsO

New column: FedEx St. Jude Championship executive director Robert Miller is new to the job, but comes with tons of pro sports experience (New Orleans Hornets, Florida Panthers, Texas Motor Speedway) as the FESJC fights for survival on the PGA Tour ... https://t.co/U5gF3M8jew

Every year, volunteers show up to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, but you may not find someone who shows what it means to give time than Tina Rogers. https://t.co/PntUXYaG0p
