    The Falcons actually picked Raheem Morris.

    Shanahan made Dan Quinn look like a good coach. That should tell you how good he is. The more I think about it, the more I realize how awful the Falcons coaching has always been. It's just depressing.

    This Falcons team is ridiculously poorly coached. Raheem Morris was a loser hire when we made it and if anything he's actually been worse than even I expected. We had 10 men on the field on a crucial 3rd and 13. Seriously?!?!? Penix looks to have gotten worse since last year. Whatever coaching...

    Dude is amazingly good considering he's one of the slower wide outs in the league. He's never going to outrun a defender but that's not his game. He has a nose for holes in the zone and when to drop an anchor there. He also uses his body incredibly well to block out DBs, all of whom are smaller...

    Auburn fans have been accusing Kirby Smart of lying when Kirby said he was clapping and not calling a timeout. I've never seen a coach call a timeout, be granted it, then deny it. But that's what Auburn fans said he did. Now we have the full story and it actually shows the refs blew a call in...

    This Georgia team is the most puzzling team I've ever seen. This team plays absolutely terribly in the first half against Bama, Tennessee, and Auburn, then proceeds to look like the best team in college football in the second half. Last night didn't even look like the same team after the half.

    I remember watching him in the Rose Bowl against Georgia. That was one of the best football games I've ever seen. Having watched Mayfield in that game it doesn't surprise me in the least that he became an excellent QB.

    New Manager Discussion

    Terry McGurik was in charge of the Braves well before Cox retired and he's still at the helm. Also, culture can continue through the tenures of different leaders. In fact businesses tend to hire leaders that fit the company's culture. The Braves have a very defined culture that they actively...

    New Manager Discussion

    I'd say Walt Weiss is the heavy favorite at this point. The Braves as an organization love stability and a handoff to Weiss with largely the same staff would be in line with that. The Braves also like to promote from within. Fredi was promoted after Cox retired. Snitker was promoted after we...

    It was time. That being said, any Braves fan who doesn't appreciate what he did as manager is crazy. I don't think we win that series without him at the helmet. Dude was a steady leader and got the most out of his players.

    Bijan had a run early in the game Sunday that really showed why he's special. It was a run play that wasn't well designed or executed and Washington met Bijan before he got back to the line. Bijan juked and dodged multiple defenders and turned what should have been a 3 yard loss into an 8 yard...

    GDT 9-27: Pirates at Braves

    Home plate ump should be fired after that game. Dude apparently didn't realize no one paid to see him.

    The 2025 draft won't look as good after the disaster that will be the 2026 draft. We mortgaged the 2026 draft to make this year's what it was. Next year will be ugly. Pitts was an absolute disaster of a pick. If you're going to pick a TE top 5 then he has to basically be a HOFer that redefines...

    I expect TF will be gone after this year and Morris will be allowed to pick the replacement. I think Morris will get 2-3 more years at least. Blank has an unhealthy love for Morris.

    The Falcons remain the worst run organization in the NFL. The incompetence is staggering. We actually picked Raheem Morris to be our head coach. How can you do that with a straight face?

    Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

    I don't ascribe to the "I can't because they won't" way of thinking. If no one tries then things will never improve.

    I feel Snit has lost a step. A couple years ago I feel like he was at the peak of motivating his players, ensuring guys were doing their work, and keeping the club on an even keel. Since then he seems to have gone soft. Guys just seem too lax. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows? Just sharing an impression.

    Over the last year I've lost almost 40 pounds without pharmaceuticals. Calorie counting. Honestly, it's the only way.

    The response in the legal world to that would be...I believe the kid would say...cringe. The SCOTUS needs decorum. It can't operate without a respectful debate.

    Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

    People need to relax and stop taking other people so seriously. Not everyone is an existential threat to you. This would be even more true if we put more limits on the power of the federal government.
