Grizzlies, Wine Race, Fox 13

The NBA has announced that the first game of the Grizzlies-Clippers playoff series will be on Sunday. The location is still up in the air. If Memphis wins tonight against the Orlando Magic, the game will be at FedExForum. If the Grizzlies should lose, the game will be in Los Angeles. The game time is TBD.

If the Grizzlies host the first game, one of the better Sunday Fundays in recent Memphis history could be in the works. The game by itself would be a good reason, but add in the Beale Street Wine Race and you can see why many people may be calling in sick on Monday. The event kicks off at 1pm and it will feature a parade, the Queen of the Vine contest (typically a must see), wine stomping and the Great Wine Race.

Did anyone see the much hyped announcement this morning on Good Morning Memphis on Fox 13? The big news was the addition of Ernie Freeman and Joey Sulipeck to the morning show. Sadly, the announcement appeared to be filled with technical errors and a lack of general excitement by the new members of the morning team.
