Overpaid? Depends on your perspective
Falcons Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White recently tweeted his disbelief and disdain over the fact that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will make a salary of $20 million in 2019, which is at the end of the contract extension he signed earlier this year. White noted how "players make ...
Can people now stop saying Brady could be the greatest of all-time?
Who still thinks Tom Brady should be mentioned among the all-time greats? I know this is the era of the here-and-now, and far too often we seem to forget about the past due to the seemingly 24-7 reminders of the present; but can we now please stop saying Brady ...
Signing Day Feature
Just a quick note to please check out my Signing Day feature package, which includes sound from all three area D-I coaches (Mark Richt, Paul Johnson and Bill Curry.) I'll have plenty more to say about Signing Day and other thoughts that have been on my mind in the ...
Now it's next year or bust
24-2. The sheer ugliness of the score horrifically points out the fact that all the Falcons could muster in a must-win playoff game was a measly safety. So the "more explosive offense" the front office decided was necessary following last year's humiliation to Green Bay couldn't even score ...
The Falcons can payback the Saints when it counts most
Who remembers the 'Body Bag Game'? Now, guess who won the rematch in the playoffs, featuring those same two teams? I was a 14-year old kid when my favorite team (the Washington Redskins) was pummeled on a Monday night in Philadelphia. The 28-14 loss was so bad, about ...
Is anything pure in baseball anymore?
Three weeks ago, Ryan Braun accepted the award for being this year's National League Most Valuable Player. Just weeks earlier, he was informed he failed a test for performance-enhancing drugs. Even worse, the commissioner of Major League Baseball cited Braun earlier as one of the glowing examples of ...
Will lockouts prove seasons should be shorter?
July 25 felt like Dec. 25 for NFL fans. The early morning hours of Nov. 26 felt like Dec. 25 for NBA fans. Those were the days the lockouts for the NFL and NBA, respectively, became things of the past. The NFL's 130-day lockout was excruciating. The NBA's ...
NBA players, owners fooling themselves, taking fans for fools
First and foremost, let's dispel a myth. People really do enjoy NBA basketball. For all of those who say they don't, the numbers speak for themselves. Last year's NBA Playoffs on TNT were the most-watched in cable television history. Over the six-week playoff run that preceded the NBA ...
Dawgs and Jackets are on the verge of giving us history
Honestly, how many of you at the start of this season believed Georgia Tech and Georgia would have any chance of meeting on Nov. 26 at Bobby Dodd Stadium with both teams 9-2? It's very possible, and if it does happen, both teams will enter the game with 9 ...
Tony Gonzalez Turned Out OK (For Someone Who Rode The Bench)
With four catches on Sunday in Detroit, Tony Gonzalez will move into second place on the all-time NFL list for career receptions. He'll be second only to the legendary Jerry Rice. Not bad for someone who described himself as once being "never really that good at football." In fact, Tony ...
So the Falcons Aren't As Good As Green Bay...I'm No Bob Costas Either, But I Won't...Uh, 'Pack' It In
The Green Bay Packers are a better team than the Atlanta Falcons right now. That's just the flat-out truth. That was the case nine months ago, when Green Bay ran roughshod over Atlanta on its way to winning the Super Bowl, and the defending champions proved that to be the ...
Falcons Wish To Forget Playoff Loss, I Say Learn From It
The Green Bay Packers scored 48 points in their January NFC Divisional Playoff Game, and at Falcons headquarters in Flowery Branch, Atlanta's players seemed all too eager to dismiss the 27-point defeat to the Pack.
The fairest place to point the blame
There is plenty of blame to go around now that the Atlanta Braves have officially joined the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies as the only National League teams to hold 8 ½-game leads in the month of September and miss the postseason. The truth is, as shocking as this historic collapse was, ...
