Memphis on the internet.
Stephen Smith Fallout
Of course, the MEMernet was alive last week with ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith’s talk about Memphis and crime. Y’all saw the biggest tweets and memes. But here are some we’re still thinking about.
“A lot of talk about Memphis the last few days,” tweeted Evan Fox, videographer for sports commentator Pat McAfee. “I will always love that city because it is the home of one of the cleanest daps in recorded history.”
“Stephen A. Smith is, and always has been, a sweaty nutsack,” wrote u/RedWhiteAndJew on Reddit.
“On my morning walk here in Memphis,” Grind City Media host and Grizz Gaming general manager Lang Whitaker tweeted with the photo above. “Sure is scary.”
“Only lames feel unsafe in Memphis,” tweeted former NBA star Will Barton. “One of the greatest cities to live in. Especially if you’re an athlete. Memphis embraces you like no other and protects you. But you gotta be a real one to understand it. Only goofies don’t rock with da M.”
