We'll open today's show still lamenting the fact there's tons of snow and ice all over the ground making it difficult for us to get out of our neighborhoods (3:00). After that, we'll get into the news of the day and start with the Grizzlies game tonight against the Pelicans and Ty Jerome being upgraded from OUT to Doubtful. Will we see Ty Jerome on Saturday night or Monday night at FedExForum? Are the Grizzlies showcasing Ty Jerome for a week in order to trade him? + Devin has a list of NBA players who have been traded the most (6:37). Chris replays an old clip of Tony Allen and Devin slandering Cooper Flagg before the season started saying he's Andrei Kirilenko at best...and then makes Devin apologize after Cooper Flagg went off for almost 50 last night in a loss to the Hornets. That gets us in a conversation about Flagg, Kon Knueppel, the rookie class coming in next year and why draft capital might in 2026 might be the best thing for the Grizzlies (18:35) and then we'll pivot to Dillon Brooks' 40 point night and how he's improved in the last couple of years, the Suns win over the Pistons and if the Pistons need to add another scorer to take pressure off of Cade Cunningham (29:25).

Penny's Tigers picked up a win over FAU last night. Are they starting to show signs of life after that win? Did it tell us anything? (44:10)

We'll go into the NFL news of the day with the Falcons hiring a new GM, the Vikings firing their GM and if Sam Darnold making the Super Bowl this year had anything to do with the Vikings making this decision + a standout at the Senior Bowl in Mobile in WR Tyren Montgomery. Wait till you hear this story (51:10)
 
WWE Royal Rumble is Saturday afternoon in Saudi Arabia. We'll list some of the favorites and then a few darkhorses who have climbed up the betting odds ladder (1:04:49)

We start the show talking about how annoying this snow and ice is (3:00) before discussing the Grizzlies loss last night at home to the Charlotte Hornets, how the Hornets have similar vibes to the Grizzlies teams of a few years ago + Chris took his daughter to the game and she got to meet GG Jackson and Cedric Coward. After that we'll go into all the future draft picks the Grizzlies have, the upcoming trade deadline and the possibility they keep Ja Morant and showcase him for the last 2 months of the season to get his trade value up in the offseason (7:45). Marc Stein wrote about what he's hearing with the Giannis trade market and we'll go through there. Would you want to see Giannis team up with Steph Curry on the Warriors??? The Timberwolves are also mentioned as are the Miami Heat. Could the Grizzlies help facilitate a trade and add more assets if they choose to rebuild???? (1:01:34). We'll finish up talking about tonight's Memphis/FAU game and how much things have changed for smaller conferences just in the last 2 years when you look at KenPom rankings (1:22:10)

Next, we'll go into the NFL with Joe Brady being hired by the Bills and how it doesn't feel like the reset it was supposed to be when they fired Sean McDermott and the Titans hiring Brian Daboll as their Offensive Coordinator and why we like the hire (54:12).
