As the club prepares to head west for a date with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football, the Falcons are taking their lumps in the media. Whether it’s the questionable decision to hand Kirk Cousins $180 million, Raheem Morris being in over his head, or Kyle Pitts’ continued disappointment, Atlanta has been everyone’s
There’s a storm cloud over Atlanta. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong for the Falcons. Raheem Morris, Kirk Cousins, Terry Fontenot, and everyone is deserving of blame, but fans should expect things to get back on track this week against the Raiders on Monday Night Football. Kirk Cousins hasn’t thrown a touchdown in
There’s something different in the air surrounding the Hawks, and there are plenty of reasons for that, most notably Trae Young.

Kirk Cousins throwing two interceptions and no touchdowns in his return to Minnesota was predictable. That’s just life as a Falcons
Raheem Morris is quickly starting to convince me that he’s in over his head as Falcons head coach.

While the Braves haven’t made a single notable addition this offseason, they’ve been adjacent to plenty of blockbuster news, most recently with Max Fried inking an eight-year deal with the Yankees.

In one of the most shocking developments in recent years, Bill Belichick is leaving the NFL for college football, agreeing to become the next head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
