Athlete Marketplace

Last week University of Memphis Athletics launched its official online marketplace on Opendorse for student athletes to sell their name, image, and likeness to brands, sponsors, and donors. For example, digital deals (tweets and such) with U of M softball outfielder Hannah Bassham (above) start at $10.

Pothole Police

YouTuber Jakely Adams watched cars bottom out in a Memphis pothole last week in a video that racked up more than 12,600 views.

“Not the new Chrysler,” Adams moaned as the car (above) approached the “big ass” pothole. The car scraped inside the crater and Adams cried, “God dog! That is wild!”

‘Lil Bitty Penis’
