AI to Grizzlies, Trouble At Backstreet, Liberty Bowl Beer Sales

The Memphis Grizzlies and Allen Iverson have come to terms on a one-year agreement. Iverson is probably the biggest name the Grizzlies have ever signed, but he is on the downside of his career. Via Twitter, Iverson wrote "I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them." Let's hope he can be a solid contributor.

Over the weekend, Midtown's Backstreet was raided by police and resulting in temporary closure. Undercover Memphis Police officers say they witnessed illegal drug sales, illegal alcohol sales, and gambling inside the club on at least six occasions. Based on rumors that have been floating around for a few years, this is not surprising.

Does it surprise anyone that beer sales at the Memphis vs Ole Miss game at the Liberty Bowl exceeded expectations? Sales from the game achieved 40% of the budgeted sales for the season. Needless to say, city officials are very happy. Many people have complained about the price being $7. Stop the whining. Its the same price you would pay (if not cheaper) at any professional sporting event in the city.
