AutoZone Park

Had the pleasure to visit another one of our country's great Minor League Baseball ballparks this weekend.

AutoZone Park in Memphis, home of the Memphis Redbirds.

Very fan friendly, great food and the workers were all very professional.

Big Cypress Lodge

I've been to Big Cedar Lodge, but Big Cypress Lodge in Memphis is a completely different experience.

The former pyramid in Memphis, has been turned into a gigantic Bass Pro Shops store with a 105 room luxury hotel also included.

Two great restaurants and the largest free standing elevator in the country that takes you to the top of the pyramid.

Elvis' Original Tomb For Sale

If you are an Elvis fan, you or a loved one can rest your "Blue Suede Shoes"  in peace in the original tomb of Mr. Presley.

Celebrity auctioneer Darren Julien is selling Elvis Presley's original crypt to the highest bidder as part of his Music Icons auction later this month.

The tomb is located inside the granite and marble mausoleum at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee.

Presley was interred there alongside his mother, Gladys, after he died on August 16 1977. Two months later, they were re-buried at his Graceland home. The original crypt has remained empty ever since.

Julien says the winning bid from the auction beginning on June 23 will receive the crypt, opening and closing of the vault for burial, a memorial inscription and use of a chapel for a committal service. Transportation and funeral home charges are not included.

New Year's Eve College Bowl Play of the Day: Liberty Bowl

I love Vandy giving just 2.5 in the 2011 Liberty Bowl.

Vandy has been in every game this year with the exception of against Alabama.  Their 6-6 record should be better but I expect them to show well against a Cincinnati team that is prone to giving up points in bunches.

Look for a quick start from Vandy and then they will close it out, winning by 10.

Take Vandy and give the points.  Happy New Year's Eve!
