I don't understand why the "style points" crowd is ignoring that Auburn just bounced a Hail Mary pass off a dude's head a few weeks ago. Yeah, I said that Sunday. Aub is a couple breaks away from potentially being 9-3. I've told you guys not to bring that game up. We will see if the luck ...

The Braves stadium, if it ever gets done, will presumably be financed by bonds backed by Cobb County tax revenues (although the zillions in related road improvements will be paid for by all Georgians I guess). And some massive road improvements will be required. The 75/285 Cobb Cloverleaf area is a...

The Braves are dead to me.* But the fact that the team published that picture tells you all you need to know. The Braves have always found it hard to market to black people, intown hipsters, and their "regional" audience at the same time--admittedly that's a tough sell and I don't envy th...

Just on tv I liked it more.

No. Fulton County was the typical "multi-purpose" 1960s "flying saucer" style stadium. Nothing to write home about.

A previously unknown/announced NFL guideline that teams/players use the same helmets for the whole season has killed the Tampa Bay creamsicle throwbacks. This was a recommendation made for safety purposes, and if having to maintain multiple helmets for each player really is a concern, he makes a go...

Georgia announced today that its best receiver, Malcolm Mitchell, blew out his ACL and is gone for the season. He blew the ACL celebrating in the end zone following Todd Gurley's 75 yd touchdown run on Georgia's second series vs. Clemson. It may not be the Dawg's year. On the other hand, I was surpr...

A 63 for Philly Mick today -- 28 for his first nine, and 8 under with 7 to go. Great score, but it really looked like the 59 was in serious jeopardy.

Whittemore, Franklin, and people who lived into their 80s and 90s during that time frame had to have immune/recovery systems in the top percentiles. Many of us probably have had a disease or accident that would have been deadly if you had lived in that timeframe. That also probably has a great deal ...

May be a good brawl in the Braves/Nats game tonight. Bryce Harper showboated a bit after a homer last weekend in Washington, and was subsequently plunked. Dugouts emptied, but no real fireworks. Last night in Atlanta, Braves pitchers hit him twice, and almost a third time. J. Upton hit a walkoff in ...

This little tidbit last night on the Brave's broadcast ...... Before the Tigers loss last night, the Tigers had a 12 game winning streak working, while the Braves were on a 13 game streak. The last time that two major league teams had streaks that long going on simultaneously was in 1884. The teams:...

In Canada (for the Canucks on board), the "Speed" channel is rebranding as Fox Sports 1. So if you get Speed, you get FS1. ...And if you don't get Speed there's a decent chance you'll get FS1 anyway because Fox is (understandably) working out new carriage agreements. Not as simple as that...

Its just hard to believe GRM is going to kill him off for good. The theory that JS was Rhaegar and Lyanna's child whose combined blood lines would unite Westeros, and then join with Danerys' forces (after initially fighting) to take on the white walkers seemed to be the logical conclusion to the ser...

My theory is also that he has warged into the direwolf at the moment of stabbing. I anticipate this being tied in at some point to the Bran story line, where Bran gets him back into human form from knowledge gained beyond the wall/children of the forest/cave info.

Despite now being three strokes down through two, I still think Tiger picks up the Claret Jug today. Westwood is going to have a big blow up somewhere.

Only two. Its been tough. 1995 Braves -- An often posed question in Atlanta Sports Bars/Sports Talk Radio-- Would you have preferred being the Florida Marlins in the 90s/00s with two world series titles, but mostly craptastic in other years; or the Braves, with essentially 20 straight years in the p...

And someone else who will not be in the field -- Maurice Allen, who fired a nice little 100 on Thursday and a 115 on Friday to miss the cut in the Latin American PGA Dominican Republic Open.

ND needs a new QB for the upcoming season. I guess the vaunted Notre Dame academic program to ensure players stay in school didn't work so well this time.

We recently started getting Clown Shoes out here. My local tavern featured Clown Shoes as their "Craft Beer" of the month in March. I had a couple of these, but unfortunately, at $10.00 a bottle, that was it. Very tasty though. http://res.cloudinary.com/ratebeer/image/upload/w_250,c_limit...

I like it, but I still think the Pelican is an odd choice. Sure, it's a bird that eats fish, but it's not that fierce. I guess a Raven isn't that predatory either. Nor are Cardinals, Blue Jays, etc., etc., etc. When was the last time an American team was named for a non-fierce animal, or at least a...
