I give him no leeway for Andersen. Draft publications can be lured in by shiny combine numbers but an NFL team needs to do better homework. If you're going to spend a second rounder on a guy who has minimal experience and played at a glorified high school, you better know what you're doing. TF...

Second round has been tough for us as well. Ebeketie has been marginal, Andersen was as boneheaded a pick as they come, and let's not forget Ritchie Grant.

Dubon gives the Braves a legit alternative in negotiations with a FA SS or in trade talks for a SS. The last thing you want when negotiating is to look desperate. Hopefully the plan is Dubon as a super utility and not a starter.

At this point I'd be shocked if the Falcons win more than 6 this year. Kirk is a shell out there and I doubt he stays healthy the rest of the way. That means Easton Stick at QB. Drake is literally our only WR and is out this week and maybe more. The OLine is banged up. Teams have figured out the...

The Falcons wasted a chance at a window on Raheem Morris. We had a good cap situation, some good young (and cheap) skill position players, a good O-Line, a core you can build on. Now we're staring at starting an injury prone QB next year that we still don't know if he's good or not. Drake is...

I find it absolutely remarkable that the Falcons convinced themselves that Raheem Morris was the guy. Just a monumentally poor decision.

The Dodgers are this year's Boogeyman. The team an agent for a player or a team trying to trade a player can leak is interested in that player to drive the price up. The Dodgers don't have to actually be interested. The rumor is enough to spur teams into upping offers.

Yep. The QB coach, the passing game coordinator, and half a dozen assistants need to be there. The dysfunction of this staff runs deep.

Did you see the comments by Penix about how he doesn't have anyone to discuss on field issues with? It makes the fact Penix never has anyone around him on the sidelines extra concerning.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Would be funny to see the Dodgers have to play scrubs for a decade.

I don't see the Falcons going better than 5-3 over their final 8. They should beat the Saints twice, the Panthers, the Jets, and the Cards. They should lose to the Bucs, Rams, and Seahawks. They might win a game they should lose but they'll also probably lose a game they should win. Going 5-3...

Hoping we add a starter. If we do that puts Lopez in competition for the 5th starter slot which I'm fine with.

This is correct. Unless we threw a irresponsible amount of money at Kim, Boras was going to take him into free agency. I expect we're still working hard to sign Kim.

My theory with Lehman is that we waited to make contact until the Series was over and were then told he wasn't interested. We had Weiss on the shelf as the backup option. It's the simplest explanation. I don't believe for a second that AA was overruled. The Braves aren't a dysfunctional...

You absolutely should be working to improve every way you can. And I think we've been doing that. AA has helped modernize the Braves analytics department. The Battery is the envy of baseball and the blueprint other teams are trying to use. My point is that in hiring a manager we didn't need to...

The Braves have had 7 losing seasons in the past 35 years. That's back to 1991, the worst to first season. People are so doom and gloom over not blowing up the culture and starting fresh with an outside manager. Do you know the number of teams that would kill to have more than 3/4 of their past...

Called it. The only thing that made me doubt this would be the move was how long it took to announce. I don't mind the move. I'm not celebrating but I completely understand it. There are probably better bench strategists in baseball but I don't think in game calls are as important as people...

I agree. With a competent HC they'd be talked about as one of the most exciting young teams in the league. With Raheem they're a laughing stock.

It's not clapping that's illegal, as I understand it. It's "abrupt" and "jerky" motion that simulates a snap. You don't want QBs moving suddenly as if they're taking the snap. QBs clap all the time to try to keep defenses from timing the snap. All Stockton did was clap. The argument was his...

Georgia can't seem to escape clapping controversy this year. Stockton was flagged for clapping too big against Florida. He got two Florida players to jump offsides using a hard count and the officials flagged him. Literally all he did was clap. If that's a penalty then we should go ahead and...
