Grizzlies Streak Continues, Saints

If you have heard about streaker rumors near 191 Beale Street, you can rest assured that it's not Silky O'Sullivan (no offense) running naked down the street. Instead of a streaker, you will find a record setting winning streak. Tonight, the Grizzlies extended their franchise record home winning streak to 11 games with a win over the Orlando Magic. With the win, the Grizzlies are now 24-19.

The Grizzlies are executing the best marketing tactic around - winning. Winning will generate buzz, fill seats and sell merchandise. A win-win for all involved. Zach Randolph and his crew hit the road for two games before returning home on Saturday to take on Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets. Kobe Bryant, Pao Gasol and the rest of the Lakers will be at FedEx Forum next Monday night. Get your tickets here.



How about them Saints? After 43 years, the New Orleans Saints have finally made it to the Super Bowl. When Garrett Hartley hit the game winning kick, the crowd erupted with cheers. Some of the cheers, quickly turned to tears of joy. Downtown New Orleans was insane after the game. Bourbon Street was rocking, bars were crowded, fans were dancing on top of cars and traffic was at a standstill...almost like a Mardi Gras atmosphere. Saints fans will have two weeks to recover before Super Bowl XLIV arrives. The place to watch the big game in Memphis will be Calhoun's, which was PACKED on Sunday night.
