I’m looking to hire a consultant who is an expert at leverage Claude/AI for marketing agencies. Ideal situation is someone who understands sports and can help peak under the hood of GSC to help optimize some of the ways we’re already using AI. Sound like you? DMs open.

I love Penny Hardaway, but it’s painfully obvious that it’s time for Memphis to move on. He tried. The university tried. For many reasons, it hasn’t worked out. Any decision to keep him will just further push Memphis hoops into mid major obscurity.

I think that great advertising doesn’t need to be defended and people either know it’s great or it’s not. The way you guys continue to try to pat yourselves on the back really doesn’t make sense. I think most people either thought this was an OK ad or they hated it. Very few people other than those who are incentivized to do so that actually think that this was great advertising.

“Why did you buy a Super Bowl ad for karaoke?” This is why. It broke through and got people's attention. The superbowl is such an overwhelming event, the first step is even being noticed. Only then have you bought the right to get them interested in the next step: crypto. We'll start thinking on formats for future ads. What do you think we should try next?

We just made the most talked about commercial in America. Some people loved it, some people hated it. But millions sang along.

First time flying @SouthwestAir after the seating and bag policy change. Woof. Lots of room for improvement.

I loved the idea for our Super Bowl ad as soon as the team showed it to me. It's unique, just like our QR code ad in 2022. Most people half watch commercials (buzzed, in a loud room, with lots of people). It takes something unique to break through. Turning 100M+ screens into karaoke, so the whole U.S. (and many around the world) can sing in unison, is an antidote to polarization and just plain fun. Everybody deserves economic freedom.

Singing > watching. So we got millions of people watching the Big Game to sing along with us. Oh, and we put it on the world's largest LED screen @SphereVegas.

Jhared beat me in a playoff about 20 years ago in Dothan, AL. That loss made me reconsider whether I wanted to actually pursue golf as a living or even play in college. I opted out; Jhared doubled down. He’s so good and it’s so cool to see him still chasing the dream that I gave up so many years ago. Kudos my man. You got this.
Monday Q Info@acaseofthegolf1

Hell yes!! @Jhackgolf just won his first start on the India Pro Tour with a final round 59* to win by 5. Jhared has become a good friend, we helped raise money for him a few times. Truly one of the nicest people in golf. Won the 2007 Western Am, beat Rickie and DJ in match play. Turned pro at 18. Now 20 years into his pro career he is still grinding. Years of driver yips. It got so bad his friends would try to convince him to not play in Vegas money games, they would feel guilty taking his money. He refused. Found his way out of them. Battled back. A ton of mini-tour players have been broke, but no one as many times as Jhared. And no one plays better when he's broke. Has won mini-tour events multiple times when his cards were maxed and it was win or be done. Has played most every tour in the world. DP, PGA, KFT, Latin, Canada, Morocco, China, and now India. After he missed at 2nd stage here he told @markbaldwin1 he was going to play in India. We thought he was crazy (we still think he's crazy) . He won 1st stage there, finished 2nd at final, now won in his first start. Gets $25,000 for the win, will get into 2 Hotel Planners events, possible a DP event. Moved up 2000 spots in OWGR. Talked to him this morning when I woke up, he was ecstatic. “Going to have some beers” before he gets on his way to next weeks event. I love it, every second of it. This is why I started this account, for wins like this at events no one has ever heard of. (* par 69, around 6,000 yards. A 59 to win is impressive regardless, but for full context)

The Grizzlies gave away a top-10 player in FRANCHISE history with his best years in front of him for three bad picks and probably one player out of the set who will wind up good. They got their tails kicked in by the last two years of decisions and it led to this.

Reposting this on my main timeline because I think it sums up how a lot of us feel. I don’t understand why the current front office has earned the right to put the fans through another rebuild after swinging and missing for several years in a row during an obvious championship window.
Preston McClellan@p_mcclellan

Also, in my opinion, this front office is directly responsible for a lot of the team chemistry issues that now exist. Three years ago, they elected to blow up a core that was on the cusp of the best in the Western Conference to bet it all on unproven rookies. They’ve never been held responsible for how much that decision affected the championship window for the existing core.

Fans matter. Pretty obvious what the fan sentiment is around not only this trade but the general way the front office is approaching decision-making. I have a feeling the @memgrizz are about to experience what @MemphisFB did at the end of the Larry Porter era.

I think you’re approaching it more as a media member versus looking through the lens of a fan. Objectively, there have been plenty of good business decisions and drafting decisions made by this front office. As a fan, that has resulted in brief moments of excitement and euphoria, but overwhelmingly, it’s been a disappointment for more than five years.

I genuinely don't understand the anti-front office sentiment that the Grizz fanbase on here seems to harbor. Their hit rate in the draft is pretty damn good. Have they nailed every single one? No. But no team in the NBA hits at 100% clip.
OddSmokerSteve@OddSmokerSteve

@JohnMartin929 They'll waste every single of those picks, pull zero stars and still gonna try to sell us on being right on the doorstep. Clown show

@thebergershop Respectfully, Memphis is a unique market. I know what I’m talking about here. There’s a lot more to it than that.

I think they did a great job here, 2026 is maybe the best draft in 25 years…biggest issue for the fans is Ja turned out to be nowhere near what the entire community and fanbase was sold on..
Preston McClellan@p_mcclellan

@thebergershop It’s another rebuild for a team that hasn’t won a playoff game in six years. All I’m saying is the fan base deserves better and some accountability for the GM who has made the decisions that has led us to this point.

They got 3 first round picks and a PG who was picked 15th in first round to run team once they move Ja for more picks in next few days. Add that to what they got for Bane, and it’s a complete rebuild which is better than an average player paid like a star to be in the deal.
Preston McClellan@p_mcclellan

We get it @memgrizz. The tank is on. You can’t get more than that for a player you gave a max deal to 2 years ago? Hard to understand what the Grizzlies front office is doing right now. It certainly isn’t keeping the fans in mind in these decisions.

@Isaac__NBA Ok then who does the buck stop with? He’s the coach, man. He gets credit for the success but damn well better be willing to own up to bad times. And these are bad times. It always starts with the coach.

You can talk about rotations…in game coaching decisions etc. …but the problem with THIS Tiger team is the roster. Point, blank period. You can blame Penny for picking these players…cool but it never ceases to amaze me that you watched Penny (1/2)

Feel bad for the Grizz PR staff who have to put these out. But man, the fans deserve so much more transparency on injuries given how few games the last 4 years the star players have actually played.

The @memgrizz today announced the following medical update for Ja Morant.
