I'm Parker Fleming -- a writer, podcaster, editor covering the Memphis Grizzlies since 2016. My writing journey started on FanSided's Beale Street Bears in 2016, and then I moved over to SB Nation's Grizzly Bear Blues in 2018. There, I progressed from senior staff writer to associate editor and then to Site Manager. After the SB Nation mass cuts, it moved over to Bluff City Media, and the archive has vanished. So this website will house all my features from Grizzly Bear Blues. All current Grizzlies work is on a Substack called "SubTsakalidis" -- an online publication with free content, any financial support goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
