My 2nd trip to Memphis is almost over and I’ve again really enjoyed my time here. So I felt the need to say something, especially after what LeBron said today.

This city often gets a very bad rep and I’ve experienced that myself. Players shitting on it, media saying it’s dangerous, people asking me why I’d go here because I wouldn’t be safe, I’ve heard it all. All those people couldn’t be more wrong.

This is a city very different from other “typical American cities”. Memphis has it’s own identity, an identity that makes it special. Memphis is a very warm and welcoming city. From the second my first trip started last year I’ve felt welcomed by the people. In the Fedexforum, on the streets, in the airport, in my hotel. My experiences have been nothing but positive. Not once have I felt unsafe or anything remotely close to it, not in my week long stay last year and also not in my almost 2 week long stay this year.

Now of course every city has its weaknesses and room for improvement. And that’s where I have to give a lot of credit to the mayor and the people who run this city. Even in the year between my trips there has been clear improvement. The streets are cleaner, there’s roadwork being done and downtown is noticeably more lively compared to last year.

Don’t let people who have never been here tell you what and how this city is. Memphis is a unique and beautiful city, Memphis is Memphis. I have truly loved my time here and I can’t wait to keep coming back in the future. But first one more game against Toronto tomorrow.

Ohio State’s roster is littered with kids from South Florida who didn’t believe the vision of Mario Cristobal and Miami.

They just got beat by the group who did.

Tom Guarente tells me he's withdrawing from the TN05 GOP primary, leaving Metro Councilmember Courtney Johnston as only challenger to Rep. Andy Ogles. Guarente says he met with Johnston yesterday. Agrees that split ticket would make unseating Ogles harder.

Alleged shooter had mental health issues so severe he was incompetent to be tried for last gun offense, but didn’t meet TN standard for involuntary commitment (or treatment!). And unless I’m missing something, looks like he could legally carry a firearm in Tennessee. Good God.
