The Hawks are floating around a .500 record, as they have in every season since their Eastern Conference Finals run, and no fans should be surprised when they finish in the same range this season. There’s a stark difference, though. Expectations coming into the season were much lower following the Dejounte Murray trade. The most encouraging
We should listen to people when they tell us who they are; Falcons owner Arthur Blank should listen to what his GM, Terry Fontenot, is telling him. Following another sub-.500 season, marking the seventh consecutive season without a playoff appereance, four of which Fontenot oversaw, Atlanta’s GM took to the podium and told the organization’s
Just a day after entering the transfer portal, former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has committed to Miami. About a year ago, the Hurricanes lured Cam Ward away from the NFL Draft to Coral Gables, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Ward was projected to be a Day 2 draft pick, and he ended his
I don’t particularly love hypotheticals, but in this instance, I believe it’s important to make the difficult yet necessary decision. Would Raheem Morris still be the head coach of the Falcons had the Saints beat the Buccaneers? It was well known that for the Falcons to capture a postseason berth, they needed the Saints to
Todd Monken isn’t your typical head coach candidate. He’s not a young offensive coordinator like Ben Johnson, who is the most attractive target on the block as every organization looks for the next Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, or Kevin O’Connell. However, the former Georgia offensive coordinator has as good of a resumé as any. Monken
Soon after it was announced that the Braves had settled with Jarred Kelenic to avoid arbitration, news followed that the same thing happened with Dylan Lee. Per the Braves official Twitter/X, the two sides agreed to a deal worth $1.025 million. Per MLB Trade Rumors, Lee’s projected arb salary was $1.2 million, and at that
In one of the most shocking developments of the college football offseason, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has decided to forgo the NFL Draft and enter the transfer portal, with three schools immediately emerging as landing spots. According to Pete Thamel, the Miami Hurricanes should be considered the favorites to land Beck, with the Ohio State
While it’s impossible not to be excited about Michael Penix Jr.’s future in Atlanta, it’s equally impossible to ignore the disaster class the organization put on with the entire quarterback situation. Penix is a franchise quarterback. That much is clear. Unlike Desmond Ridder following his four-game stretch to end the 2022 season, there’s actually physical
While Braves fans are rightfully perturbed with Alex Anthopoulos taking his sweet time this offseason, Atlanta’s GM generally deserves the benefit of the doubt. He’s proven to be one of the very best in the business. Since 2018, the Braves own the third-best record in baseball, six NL East titles, two MVPs, a Cy Young,
While it seems that Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot will be back in 2025 with the Falcons, that might not be the case for Jimmy Lake. The team’s defensive coordinator is thought to be in danger of getting the axe, especially after Morris’ end-of-season press conference. The Falcons head coach spoke highly of Fontenot, backing
