'yeah ... uh ... burgers'

KNOXVILLE — Derrick Brodus has completed the improbable journey from his couch to Tennessee’s starting lineup.

Brodus will take over for the slumping Michael Palardy as the 23rd-ranked Volunteers’ main kicker Saturday in their Southeastern Conference opener with No. 18 Florida. Palardy, who has missed an extra-point attempt in each of Tennessee’s first two games, will continue to handle kickoffs.

“We plan on kicking Derrick Brodus starting out as long as things stay the same during the week,” Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said. “I still believe in Mike, but he’s got some things he’s got to work through. Derrick’s certainly earned the right to be out there.” (more)

Remember that drunk kid that kicked that won the mtsu game last year?  Yeah, that's him.  He had rsvp'd for the tailgate at kylie's this weekend, but apparently he won't be making it after all.

hey space needle!

turning guns into grizzlies tickets

During a Saturday event at Bloomfield Baptist Church, the city and its partners in the effort will hand over a $50 Mapco gas card for every gun a person turns in, up to a limit of three guns, or $150 in free gas, per person. Everyone who turns in a gun will also get two free tickets to a pre-season Memphis Grizzlies game. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The guns will be received on a "no questions asked" basis and later destroyed, though members of the Memphis Police Department's Firearms Training Unit will be present.


If anyone sees a little brown and blonde dog tugging a shotgun over to the baptist church, someone stop Kismet because that is MY gun and he doesn't even know what basketball is anyway. via

His name is Daniel Vallverdu and he is a Venezuelan hottie who hits balls with Murray as a member of his coaching staff. Locker room shenanigans.
