Dr. Jon McCullers loves sports as much as you do. But he has some bad news. 

Dakota Cunningham is the St. Jude patient who sank a 5-foot putt for $50,000 at the World Golf Championship-FedEx St. Jude Invitational last summer. This past Thursday, he did better than that. 

Dan Spector died Tuesday of COVID-19. He loved the Tigers, Judaism, politics, Midtown, newspapers, the arts — and a brilliant white flower that bloomed just one night a year.

You want to know why you should take social distancing seriously? Meet a nurse I know. She lives in Memphis. She tested positive for COVID-19. And y'all just might have crossed paths before the test results came back. 

There's no lunch table with classes canceled, unless a group of friends gather via technology to debate sports, dating and the winner of a fight between a gorilla and a bear.

Across-the-street neighbors Melinda Henson and Laura Allen realized they weren't seeing as much of each other as they should. So they took it upon themselves to connect as only two elementary school teachers could. In the process, they taught a lesson to us all.

Memphians are just audacious enough to think they can can find solutions. That’s what defines us as much as anything else. We roll up our sleeves. We innovate. And at a time when the model for local journalism is broken — but the need for local journalism is as keen as ever — Memphians have come up with a solution to that. But it needs you.

The teachers at Bailey Station Elementary missed their students. So they threw a giant (no joking) coronavirus parade!

The Class of 2020 will not have the senior spring that the rest of us had. It may shape them in important and lasting ways. 

Scotty Oates, 29, understands the 'hell' of living inside the coronavirus crisis. No, Oates is not a doctor. He's a bread man. 

Taylor Berger and his partners made the hard decision to close Railgarten, Rec Room and Highland Axe & Rec. What does that mean for his 100 employees? And what does that mean for the rest of us?

What quintessentially teenager thing happened to Tyler Harris this year? What is Precious Achiuwa really like? Henry Proegler, one of the directors of "The Harder Way," weighs in on this and more. 

They came to Memphis knowing nothing about the city or the basketball program — but as "The Harder Way" documentary series wraps up, Henry Proegler and Ryan Booth leave as believers in both. 

Owen Dowdle, 9, is a boy on the autism spectrum whose whole life revolves around sports. He couldn't bear the absence of a Selection Sunday show — so he broadcast one himself. 

 It was not the season Memphis basketball expected. It was an ending nobody will ever forget.

I love sports. So do you. But the NBA did the right thing by suspending the season. The NCAA should stop play, too.

The season may have been harder than expected but Precious Achiuwa — the AAC Player of the Year — says Memphis was the ‘“right place for him.”

The Memphis Tigers will need four wins if they're to get the automatic bid by winning the AAC Tournament. And they've never done that.

The 100th season of Memphis Tiger basketball wasn’t the grand romp everyone expected. But the last home game was certainly sweet.

The University of Memphis took a principled stand in the James Wiseman case. Now the NCAA seems determined to make the NCAA pay.

After a season of tumult, the Memphis Tigers defeated Houston Saturday. You should have seen the smiles.

The NCAA is the bad guy in the James Wiseman story. But Wiseman is the one who chose to walk away. 

For the first time in 26 years, Ginge Robinson missed a Memphis home game. Her absence — Robinson died over the weekend at the age of 84 — reminded us why Memphis basketball matters.

It's ridiculous — and ungrateful — for Memphis fans to criticize Penny Hardaway in this calamitous year. 

It's crazy to say Memphis is "the biggest disappointment" of this college basketball season. But it's not at all crazy to start worrying about next year.
