Football fans rejoice! The NFL is back in our daily lives, and it will stay that way until February 2023. Preseason action is obviously much less entertaining than regular season games, but it’s a sign that bigger things are on the horizon for us as the regular season begins in 3 weeks. There wereContinue reading “NFL Preseason Week 1 Storylines“
Takeaways from Falcons preseason win over the Lions
Last night was a wonderful one for sports fans, as both the Atlanta Braves & the Atlanta Falcons were on TV at the same time, as well as a handful of other MLB & NFL games to watch. I flipped between watching the Braves & the Falcons, & was rarely interrupted by commercials. I’veContinue reading “Takeaways from Falcons preseason win over the Lions“
The Atlanta Braves have hit rock bottom
We’ve been here before. Last year, our team didn’t even hit the .500 mark until August. This year, the team was hanging around .500 all season until a scorching hot month of June propelled us to within a half game of catching the Mets in the NL East division race at one point. ThoseContinue reading “The Atlanta Braves have hit rock bottom“
Why Andrew Luck belongs in the Colts Ring of Honor
My inspiration for writing this piece comes from an article by Bob Kravitz at The Athletic. You can read the article (subs. required) & discover more about this trending NFL topic here. I’ve always been a huge fan of Andrew Luck’s since he was drafted by the Colts in 2012. The Colts seamlessly wentContinue reading “Why Andrew Luck belongs in the Colts Ring of Honor“
How are the Braves faring at the MLB All Star Break?
The MLB All-Star break provides opportunities for players to be recognized via the All Star Game & Home Run Derby, while also awarding rest for the players who do not participate. This half-way point of the season serves as a time of assessment & reflection for MLB teams too. That’s exactly why I willContinue reading “How are the Braves faring at the MLB All Star Break?“
Amazon Prime is building a great broadcasting crew
Thursday Night Football will undergo quite the makeover this year, as the NFL has teamed up with Amazon Prime Video to stream these games exclusively on their platform in ’22. Previously, these games were frequently available on NFL Network and sometimes aired on Fox. Traditionalists may cringe at this news as the NFL moves awayContinue reading “Amazon Prime is building a great broadcasting crew”
Michael Harris II makes immediate impact for the Atlanta Braves
For those who haven’t yet heard, top prospect Michael Harris II was called up by the Braves to make his MLB debut during the team’s series against the Marlins this past weekend. He’s been the most hyped up prospect since Ronald Acuna Jr, and that’s clearly for good reason. He was batting .305/.372/.506 with 5Continue reading “Michael Harris II makes immediate impact for the Atlanta Braves”
Braves 5th starter problem
I received my (honorary) Braves World Series championship ring at last night’s game against the Phillies. Johan Camargo later received his (real) WS ring in a pregame ceremony. The game quickly spiraled out of control from there, as starter Tucker Davidson was charged with 5 earned runs in only 2 2/3 innings pitched. Granted, JesseContinue reading “Braves 5th starter problem”
Why the struggling Braves are poised for a rebound
We’ve seen this movie before, right? Last year, the Braves finally broke the .500 mark in August. Their issues to that point were centered around an inconsistent offense, a patchwork starting rotation, and a bullpen that was prone to blowing leads at the worst possible times. Sound familiar? Listen, I’m not saying that the BravesContinue reading “Why the struggling Braves are poised for a rebound”
