“Diversity in all its forms isn’t a problem to solve; rather, it’s a strength to embrace.”

“Memphis is in a corner. Memphis is its own place. To divide the 9th Congressional District into thirds would be ‘like putting the Black vote in the back of the bus.’”

When Noah Schepman was one, his dad built him a tiny wheelchair. Now Schepman’s tennis coach calls him “the fastest kid — on feet or wheels — that I’ve ever seen.”

“(This) all adds up to being arguably the most significant county primary in recent memory. And it is almost exclusively a fight among Democrats who make up a majority of the more than 432,000 active registered voters.”

“How fitting that things seem bound to come full circle, and the Grizzlies star guard may be heading out just as the kid whose name became known for a fight is about to play for the Tigers.”

Adam Silver’s idea of the Grizzlies being “Tennessee’s team” is a misread of the limits of Tennessee identity in an oddly long, thin state. The Grizzlies need to thrive as a regional team, across state lines, but with Nashville in that region. 

“Our culture has some good things going for it, but at the moment, we have dulled our own human-ness in ways that makes the God behind icy winds and spiraling leaves harder and harder to notice.”

“Survivors should not have to navigate a legal maze alone to secure their safety. I urge my fellow Memphians to tell the court to expand opportunities to provide legal help.”

A Grizz-centric spin around the NBA, with an early look at the (very theoretical) Ja Morant trade market, a peek toward June’s draft and a bittersweet gaze across the early playoff landscape. 

Ted Butler didn’t want to teach golf lessons. That was nearly 100,000 lessons ago. The math is absolutely staggering. But the man is not about to stop.

“We need to change our form of government. We need to ensure our city has the full-time leadership needed to meet the demands of today and the expectations of the future.”

“We need to build a cultural plan — a long-term strategy that guides how Memphis and Shelby County builds infrastructure for investment to integrate arts, culture and entertainment into its economic development, urban planning and community life.”

“The youngest members of this community did not ask to be born into a budget dispute. They arrived, as all children do, with the expectation that the adults around them would provide what they need to thrive.”
