Ramblings from Memphis

It is just past midnight local time…in Memphis. It has not been the best Niner week, yet there are positives…

While we were down on Beale Street earlier this evening, we overheard some Memphis boosters discussing bonuses for thier players for the upcoming season. They mentioned something about making sure that Darius Washington Jr.'s new car that they have on order needs to be an automatic since he doesn’t handle a clutch very well…

And then, if that’s not enough…
The overwhelming drink of choice on Beale Street this evening was “The Darius Washington Jr. cocktail”…For those of you that want to try it at home, here’s the recipe…

Take one smooth shot of your favorite liquor of choice…
Then, follow it with two blocks of ice…
Chase it all with a bitter NIT bid…

be careful though…make sure you’ve got someone around who knows the Heimlich after drinking…it makes a lot of the Memphis locals choke…
