OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS
SHOWING THE FLAG
There is something to be said about a woman who has, from the sound of it, rediscovered her own sex appeal. Wanting to flaunt it is nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing to be worried about. My question is: Does she know that you know she's sharing her goodies with the entire neighborhood? Or does she think you think youÕre the only one with the recipe?
THE ENRON TRAIL IN TENNESSEE
The Enron debacle hit home for Memphis attorney Joseph Barton, who says he lost money when he relied on the information supplied by Andersen in his purchase and holding of Enron stock. Last week Barton became the first person in West Tennessee to file a lawsuit against Arthur Andersen for its role in the Enron case.

TRANSLATION: MEMPHIS
The estate sale culture of Memphis is pretty serious. Most weekends there are at least four or five sales, all spanning various socio-economic brackets and corners of town. This, to me, is where the intrigue lies. How do people in Memphis live? Where do they live? What kinds of things do they fill their lives with? We can all pretty easily find out what Elvis had. What about the rest of the city?

Politics
GORE GOES DOWN-HOME TO 'JOIN NATIONAL DEBATE'
NASHVILLE -- He came, he saw, and he got down.
That's one way of describing Al Gore's appearance before a crowd of home-state Democrats at the Renaissance Hotel Saturday night.
Got down, as in: did his best aw-shucks-I'm-just-a- Tennessean number, wearing casual dress, a simple open-collared blue shirt conveying an authenticity that his starched-blue-jeans-and-cowboy-boots combo of yore never did, and that adjunct-prof beard of his (yes, he still has it) gets him closer to redneck than you would think possible..
Got down, too, as in: got down to business, attacking the Bush administration for fiscal shortcomings and environmental excesses, for stroking the rich and for stiffing campaign finance reform.

Once a front-runner, Byrd's chances now depend on his coming on as an underdog Rocky.

MEMPHIS FOOTBALL RISING
With the shame and wonder that bore the name XFL still lingering in the hearts and minds of Memphians everywhere, news of a new developmental football league might fall on unsympathetic ears. Enter the North Atlantic Football League (NAFL) which has one and maybe more football teams in the Bluff City by the names of Fire and Blast.
GRIZZLIES UPEND JAZZ 86-79
The Grizzlies held the Jazz to a season low 30% shooting.

TIGERS CLIP CARDS, 80-70
The encounter Wednesday night at The Pyramid between the University of Memphis and the University of Louisville had all the makings of a late-March showdown. Two high-profile basketball schools. Two higher profile coaches. Cheerleaders doing back-flips a half-hour before tip-off. And national television to boot . . . prime time.
HORNETS BEAT GRIZZLIES, 97-79
For the second time in as many games, the Griz crumble in the fourth quarter.
