Crawfish Festivals, Grizzlies Roster Moves

Two of the more popular spring festivals in Memphis are just around the corner and they both involve mudbugs. The 15th Annual Overton Square Crawfish Festival will on Saturday, April 10 at Bayou Bar & Grill on Madison. The Overton festival is a great tune up for Downtown's Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival the following weekend on Sunday, April 18. Both events have sub par crawfish (have to be honest), but they are made better by live music, beer, great weather and large crowds.

The Memphis Grizzlies are sending Lester Hudson and Hasheem Thabeet the the NBA Development League effective immediately. Hudson, a Memphis native, was recently acquired as a free agent after being released by the Boston Celtics. Thabeet , the second overall pick in the NBA draft by Grizzlies, had recently been demoted to third string. Is it too soon to call Thabeet a bust?
