Yes – they could have been more imaginative (see this previous article… Note: I am still waiting on my “Whoop That Trick” towel.) Or they could have given us shirts, like every other city. But instead we got a steady barrage, an entire collection, of kitchen dishrags to use throughout the offseason. Thanks.

Growl towels that say something other than “Believe Memphis”, First Place: 44.77%
Geron Johnson, Second Place: 17.44%
New Grizzlies Owners, Third Place: 12.79%

2013 M Awards: Favorite Spirit Squad

Back in my day – cheerleaders would actually lead cheers. All the hottest, most popular girls would be on the team and when the boys stopped playing games, they would hoop and holler and the crowd would yip and yap. It was a whole lot of ballyhoo, if you take my meaning. Nowadays they jiggle their parts and gyrate in sexy ways. It is disgusting. All those lustful body parts moving around and creating an uproar. I just can’t handle it. The kids these days are crazy.

July 25, 2013 by MemphiSport Leave a Comment

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Super Grizz! Yes, it’s Super Grizz, strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal mascots. Super Grizz, who can change the course of mighty shooting droughts, bend rims in his bare hands; and who, disguised as Grizz, mild-mannered mascot for a great NBA ball club, fights a never ending battle for grit, grind, and wins!

Super Grizz, First Place: 65.75%
Pouncer, Second Place: 12.15%
TOM III, Third Place: 10.50%

He owns the Memphis Grizzlies. He made Apple into Apple. He is about to make the Grizzlies more Grizzlier. He is young. He is rich. You know him. You love him. Note: He is not really any of these things. He is Fake Robert Pera though. He is the most interesting Twitter(er?) in the Memphis sports parody world.
