data-mm-id=”_hz7igfqqg”>Ja Morant went to Shotgun Willie's, a Denver strip club, a couple weeks ago and it might have derailed the Memphis Grizzlies entire season when he broadcast himself holding a gun on Instagram Live. While Morant and the team deal with the fallout from that video and a number of other incidents, we are learning that Morant also visited the club two nights earlier when the Grizzlies touched down in Colorado… and he was an exemplary customer. The New York Post obtained multiple images of Morant at Shotgun Willie's in the early hours of March 2nd and spoke with a number of people connected to the establishment and it sounds like that visit was much more productive than the one that ultimately got him in trouble. According to The Post, he arrived 80 minutes after the team plane landed, got a private room, dancers, food, and made a big mess, covering the entire room with cash.The owner of Shotgun Willie’s says Ja Morant spent over $50K on tips a few weeks ago “This kid, real young, was exceptionally respectful, and sweet and he did not drink…He’s marvelous.”(Via @nypost ) pic.twitter.com/aZxlNiohuk— NBACentral (@TheNBACentral) March 12, 2023Yes, that is a floor covered in cash. And spread out on the seating areas for good measure. That's a shirtless Morant getting a lap dance in the corner. It cost $900 for the room for three hours. Per The Post: At the club, the Grizzly turned horndog, paying for four dancers and bottle service, and wolfing down on a jersey-busting spread of food that appeared to include a basket of hickory-smoked wings, two platters of chicken strips and fries, and a steak, according to the insider and photos.The owner of Shotgun Willie's called Morant "respectful" and "marvelous," though Stephen A. Smith wonders if this was a bad business decision.What do people think happens there?Why is the club releasing these? Feels like a massive invasion of privacy! Why would any big spenders go there ever again? https://t.co/ye7jiv2tOw— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) March 12, 2023Good points all around. If you, or anyone you know, has more images of Ja Morant behaving responsibly at a strip club, please contact us.

data-mm-id=”_k6keyfm17″>Lamar Jackson has lit up the NFL in only his second year, leading the Ravens to the No. 1 seed in the AFC and putting together an ironclad MVP case. As a talented passer who can also juke defenders out of their shoes like he's a running back, the comparisons to Michael Vick have come hot and heavy, especially as Jackson continues to get better. The Get Up crew discussed the comparison on Thursday morning, and Dominique Foxworth said that Jackson is better at being Michael Vick than Michael Vick ever was. "Stop it.

data-mm-id=”_6pd9fg3v1″>Like the rest of us, Giannis Antetokounmpo has no choice but to marvel at what LeBron James is doing this season. The young Buck said he was inspired by the 35-year-old's ability to bring it each and every night and compete with Antetokounmpo for MVP honors. It was enough to make this mid-30s sports blogger's eyes water. Finally, the younger generation is understanding the beauty of aging gracefully. Giannis on inspired by LeBron: “It’s amazing. He’s 35 and playing at a high level. He just leads the path for us. A lot of times we think that ‘Ok, we’re going to retire at 35, but seeing a guy at 35, being still top-3 best player in the world, that makes us want to be there.” pic.twitter.com/47Qf4Ixgba— Eric Woodyard (@E_Woodyard) March 5, 2…
data-mm-id=”_0gtvbvcoc”>The universal designated hitter appears set to come to Major League Baseball this season and a number of National League teams have to be thrilled at that prospect. Here's a look at the five NL teams that will benefit the most from the universal DH. Chicago CubsTwo words: Kyle Schwarber. When the Cubs selected Schwarber with the fourth pick in the 2014 MLB Draft, he was a catcher. But anyone who had watched him play at Indiana (Go Hoosiers!) knew he wasn't going to make it behind the plate in the big leagues. So Chicago tried to make him an outfielder, banking on his fairly decent athleticism relative to his size. That experiment has been a mess and has clearly impacted his ability at the plate. Schwarber's best position has always been DH. The 27…
data-mm-id=”_7eo4tevs8″>The NBA is three weeks from returning. It's quite exciting. We're used to a five-month hiatus between the final game of the NBA Finals and the first game of the following regular season. Now, less than three months will separate Game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals and the opening of the 2020-21 regular season. More basketball is good for those who like basketball. But unfortunately, the shortened offseason is inevitably going to impact the product on the court, starting with the December 22 opening slate of games. The league announced the schedule for opening night today; the Brooklyn Nets, finally boasting both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, will take on the Golden State Warriors, while the reigning champion Los Angeles Lakers will face off against their cr…

data-mm-id=”_dudpmy5kh”>The New York Jets are reportedly looking to trade running back Le'Veon Bell. Given how horrible they've been, that makes complete sense. Bell is a bad fit on the current roster. But with his big contract and history of criticizing the franchises he plays for, the Jets will struggle to find a trade partner. When Bell signed a four-year, $52 million contract ($35 million guaranteed) with the Jets back in 2019, the deal made little sense. New York was a long way from contending and making Bell the second-highest paid running back in the NFL didn't solve any of its biggest roster problems. It got even worse as Bell's relationship with coach Adam Gase deteriorated. In 2019, Bell rushed for 789 yards on 245 carries, averaging a career-low 3.2 yards…

data-mm-id=”_324m9txgf”>If someone had stumbled into your conversation at a backyard barbecue a few weeks ago and proclaimed that Lucas Glover was suddenly going to become the best golfer on the planet you'd have a strong suspicion that they were under the influence of some mighty strong prescription or recreational drugs. Perhaps you would have cut the tension by laughing and saying, "sure, dude, I'd love to see that" and then talked about the person behind their back once they left. Before the Rocket Mortgage Classic, it was fair to say that Glover was one of, if not the worst putter on the PGA Tour. Certainly from inside four feet. He was several years deep into some Chuck Knoblauch-esque yips that turned every kick-in into a knee-knocker. The 2009 U.S. Open winn…
data-mm-id=”_mmyts2qnp”>Just going to shoot you straight on this one and say it's a bit confusing because the Detroit Lions are 6-2 for the first time since 2011 and have a legitimate shot to earn homefield advantage until the Super Bowl but here's the most popular sports radio host throwing an easily breakable chair down in disgust upon learning that edge rusher Chase Young is headed to the San Francisco 49ers and not opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Valenti, who is from New York and roots for the Giants, has been giving it to the Lions organization in case they stood pat at the trade deadline and outside of a Donovan Peoples-Jones move, that's exactly what they did. So the anger came out. As an actual Lions fan, I would have been fired up to get Young because he makes the pa…

Maggie Harrison's piece says that upon reaching out to The Arena Group, the magazine's publisher, the articles in question were deleted. A strongly worded statement from the Sports Illustrated Union soon followed, and later on in the day a nameless spokesperson from Arena responded to the article, which dominated sports media conversations as a harbinger for a extraordinarily bleak future in the creative arts.
