@realEstateTrent Assuming we can go back in time…. I’d want a Clubber Lang vs Ivan Drago spinoff from Rocky

If you could choose any movie to get one more sequel, what would it be? I’d choose Back to the Future.

@KyleBumpus @texasrunnerDFW The exciting counter-attacks happen every 10-15 minutes until end of match. If you’ve got to defend the whole field, it’s more spread out with more goals. Defenses would figure it out. There’s a reason nba teams don’t play defense with 4 ppl and 1 guy cherry picking

@jbyrd_87 @texasrunnerDFW Nah then you'd just have campers hanging out by the goal and the defense would have to play deep. The compression creates exciting counter-attack opportunities.

My son plays Club Soccer and I have never understood offsides calls After 3 weeks of intensely watching The World Cup, I still don’t understand offsides calls

Grizzlies friends, you will LOVE Richie Saunders. Great player who improved immensely each season. Hard worker. Smooth shooter. Tireless hustle. And having met him, I can tell you he is an incredible person. A culture guy that can help any team he's on.

@khaslett community banks are more concerned w credit unions than big banks. CU’s can do everything banks can do, don’t pay taxes, have less regulation, and are not accountable to shareholders It’s borderline malpractice that CU’s haven’t put banks out of business given the advantages

@khaslett Big banks and small banks don’t cross paths nearly as often as this article suggests other than maybe retail or SMB checking accts. The biggest benefits from this admin to banks of all sizes have been more reasonable regulators in practice (exams or needed approvals)

I must not understand political machinations as I think I do: This article makes it seem like these community bankers are mad at their trade group when they should be mad at their regulator? And also this is likely the party they voted for? politico.com/news/2026/06/2…

@TheStalwart That it came out right before a financial crisis…

What is the theory for *why* the iPhone's release caused fertility to collapse? I'm temperamentally pre-disposed to agreeing with these kinds of notions, but I don't know what the people who study this stuff seriously see as the real causal link.

I was looking at this website #newseason" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">capsheets.com/memphis-grizzl…

@fastbreakbreak Thanks for addressing the question on the pod. Can you help me understand the cap situation? My assumption was Gibson would be cut if not needed for trade, BC’s $12.5 salary and $500k unlikely bonus going away, then Rupert’s hold being gone

@dirtcheapbanks What are your filters when deciding which banks to buy?

You don't understand. Nobody understands. I'm at a wedding last weekend and the groom's father asks me what I do and I say I invest in community banks and his eyes glaze over before I finish the sentence and I keep talking anyway. I tell him about a thrift in central Pennsylvania trading at 0.7x tangible book with a 12% Tier 1 ratio. He's looking for an exit. There is no exit. I have driven 400 miles to attend a shareholder meeting in a town with one stoplight to ask the CEO why their efficiency ratio went up 80 basis points. The answer was "we replaced the HVAC." I wrote it in a notebook. I have a notebook. I subscribe to three regional newspapers because that's where the small-bank M&A leaks first. My Google Alerts include "deposit franchise," "succession plan," and the name of every chairman over 72 in the FDIC database. I have not met a banker under 60. They all wear the same brown shoes. They all drive the same car. They all have a son named Greg who doesn't want to take over. Greg is why I'm rich. Last year I made 31% on a Texas community bank that got bought by a slightly larger Texas community bank and the local paper wrote three paragraphs about it and I framed the article. It is in my office. Next to a photo of my wife. She is closer to the door.

So … a rule designed to *keep teams from having 3 straight top 5 picks*, could bar the Grizzlies from getting a 2nd one if the pick comes from Utah *but* the Jazz could trade for an unprotected 2027 pick from another team and be allowed to … have a third straight top 5 pick.

@fastbreakbreak Looks like the Grizz will have $35MM in cap space before draft picks. If they have $20MM+ in cap room, would you take on bad salary to get assets or try to sign FA (Coby white, Ayo, Rui, etc) to get more competitive?

actively seeking inspiration, plz help

@istockgrizz @ChrisHerrington @Jevensky @Schultzism Murray is overrated, at least relative to contract ($46M next year with 3-4 more big years vs Ja $39MM w 1 more Year after next) When Ja plays, he is better than Murray (who also isn’t a beacon of health) imo. I could see the risk/reward bet working out for both sides

@jbyrd_87 @ChrisHerrington @Jevensky @Schultzism Love the optimism; but Ja Morant’s value couldn’t be lower, possibly unless he was in jail

@ChrisHerrington @Jevensky @istockgrizz @Schultzism Thoughts on a Jamal Murray for Ja trade?? Ja might average 12 ppg on the receiving end of lob dunks Could see Edey/Murray/Coward being a good combo

IF I BUY A SEASON TICKET WILL YOU WIN 1 MORE GAME @PELICANSNBA

@RedCupRebellion Needs to be popping the jersey

Honestly a Marshall Henderson statue on sorority row could be nice

@GrizzliesPR @memgrizz Could you have found a goofier way of saying he got a PRP injection?

The @memgrizz today announced the following medical update for Santi Aldama:

@ethanflynncpa Memphis MSA has been flat in population growth

What's crazy about TN is Memphis is losing population. Which means you have Middle/East TN absorbing all of the net migration.

you dissed wrong city, marcus. 😂
