Chris Vernon Show

We'll open the show with Gary Parrish in-studio and we'll joke around for a little bit before getting into the battle of injury reports tonight between the Grizzlies and Jazz (3:00). We'll then move to talking about the Tigers loss last night to South Florida and Penny Hardaway's emotional press conference, how the season is taking a toll on him, if he'll return next season to coach the Tigers, how to build a college roster with the money they have available and more (16:00). Jaren Jackson Jr returns to the Forum tonight as a member of the Jazz. We'll discuss how emotional his video tribute will be, if Jitty will also get one and then Chris talks about team buliding in the NBA in 2026 and how it has changed from even 5 years ago. Will young teams be the new wave due to the salary cap implications of what you have to pay guys outside of their rookie contracts now??? (1:14:34)

The NBA is back tonight, KD had to talk about his "burner" and LaMelo got in a car wreck, left the scene and nobody cared (5:11). Riverbeat Music Festival announced their 2026 lineup and we all love it cause it has favorites of all 3 of ours (8:25) and then we go into Prospect Watch and talk about Bill Self being fed up with Darryn Peterson, Darius Acuff going off for 49 points, and AJ Dybantsa's big night (11:57). Target Guy joins the show in-studio to talk more about the prospects in this upcoming NBA Draft, who he thinks the best player is, players who have red flags, the Grizzlies getting Walter Clayton Jr and more (56:05)

Chris had his stress level on 10 this morning....his son drove himself to school for the first time. Chris says nothing in the parents manual prepared him for this (3:20). Mick Cronin went off on a reporter and Chris talks about why he appreciates coaches who will snap at you versus the way most coaches are now with reporters (17:45). We've got some Tiger basketball news with Hasan Abdul Hakim being dismissed and Zach Davis being reinstated....and do we even care??? (35:42) Zach Edey walked Purdue legend Gene Keady to his seat last night in a warming video that will melt your heart (37:52) + the Chiefs restructured Patrick Mahomes contract and how we don't understand how the NFL Salary Cap works (41:16). The Commercial Appeal's Damichael Cole joins the show in-studio to talk all things Grizzlies including GG Jackson's recent run of efficient basketball, how Scotty Pippen Jr lights a fire in him, on the Paolo theory and if it's better to draft a bust than a #2 tier star, why the Grizzlies core didn't work, if Ja Morant will travel and be around the team the rest of the season, if we'll see Zach Edey on the court again this season, Ty Jerome's emergence and if the Grizzlies could redo his contract, if the Genesis of everything that has happened this season with Ja Morant is him not getting a contract extension, and what is the current Grizzlies core???
