Summary

Chris had his stress level on 10 this morning....his son drove himself to school for the first time. Chris says nothing in the parents manual prepared him for this (3:20). Mick Cronin went off on a reporter and Chris talks about why he appreciates coaches who will snap at you versus the way most coaches are now with reporters (17:45). We've got some Tiger basketball news with Hasan Abdul Hakim being dismissed and Zach Davis being reinstated....and do we even care??? (35:42) Zach Edey walked Purdue legend Gene Keady to his seat last night in a warming video that will melt your heart (37:52) + the Chiefs restructured Patrick Mahomes contract and how we don't understand how the NFL Salary Cap works (41:16). The Commercial Appeal's Damichael Cole joins the show in-studio to talk all things Grizzlies including GG Jackson's recent run of efficient basketball, how Scotty Pippen Jr lights a fire in him, on the Paolo theory and if it's better to draft a bust than a #2 tier star, why the Grizzlies core didn't work, if Ja Morant will travel and be around the team the rest of the season, if we'll see Zach Edey on the court again this season, Ty Jerome's emergence and if the Grizzlies could redo his contract, if the Genesis of everything that has happened this season with Ja Morant is him not getting a contract extension, and what is the current Grizzlies core??? (52:30)
