Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
The Atlanta Falcons officially hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on January 17th. Since then, there have been 13 mock drafts where the Falcons, who are without a 2026 1st-round pick, in case you forgot, are selecting at least one player. Some pundits got so bold as to go through all seven rounds; […]
The offseason may almost be over, but the Braves have widely been rumored to still be looking to add a starting pitcher and there are plenty left on the open market, as well as some presumably available via trade. The biggest fish in free agency is Framber Valdez and there has been some buzz about […]
The Hawks welcomed back second year player Zaccharie Risacher, and he was inserted directly back into the starting lineup along with Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson, and Mouhamed Gueye — the latter to counter Indiana’s small ball preference. Risacher got on the board with a great two-way play early: Both teams got off to […]

The Cleveland Browns won just eight games in the final two seasons under HC Kevin Stefanski, yet multiple teams lined up to try get Stefanski as their head coach this offseason. The Browns found their next leader in Todd Monken over three weeks after letting go of Stefanski, with owner Jimmy Haslam a concerning part […]
The Atlanta Hawks squared off against the Houston Rockets on January 29 at State Farm Arena, and their outing didn’t seem to go the way they wanted it to. The Hawks were fresh off a win against the Boston Celtics, defeating them 117-106, and the Rockets recently lost to the San Antonio Spurs, but Houston […]
Well, it’s not really a solution to a perceived need for additional heft in the starting pitching department, but it’s a move anyway: A 14-year MLB veteran, the Venezuelan left-hander has 17.1 career fWAR across over 1,630 career innings. His career pitching line (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-) is 100/103/107 — basically a fourth-ish starter over the arc of […]
There is no sugar coating it: The Atlanta Braves largely underperformed last season. There were unforeseen circumstances like injuries and a suspension, but pure underperformance played a role for some players on the roster. There are some players on the roster that also fell victim to some bad luck with the bat. What is meant […]
Day 12 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I woke up this morning, looked outside, and thought about how being at Wrigley Field on a Friday at 1:20 p.m. CT could fix me right now. Summer is coming … right? I started writing this top Bullet about the Atlanta Falcons hiring away Bears Assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham, then stopped when I realized it was rapidly becoming a post. With that being said, one thing that I’ll share here as a lead point is that I am struggling to strike a bal...
The Atlanta Falcons have long tried to emulate other organizations. They sought to gain the personnel genius of the Patriots, the free agency and cap wizardry of the Saints (blech), and the defensive mastery of the Seahawks and offensive excellence of the Titans. Never content to sit still, flitting rapidly from one disaster to the […]
Braydon Fisher is a right-handed pitcher who came to us from the Dodgers, in trade for Cavan Biggio, in June of 2024. Fisher was a fourth-round draft pick in 2018. Cavan played 30 games for the Dodgers, hitting .192.306/.329 and was released in early August. He went from there to the Giants, then the Braves, […]
In Thursday night’s open thread, I discussed the weather forecast that was a bit concerning for Saturday. Saturday was important because that was when this year’s edition of Braves Fest was scheduled. Well, the weather forecast for Metro Atlanta hasn’t gotten any better since Thursday and as such, the Braves have officially made the decision […]

Over the last ten games, the Celtics are 5-5 with clutch losses to the Spurs, Pacers, Bulls, and Pistons. Only the Hawks on Wednesday night really roughed up Boston. There hasn’t exactly been a statistical drop off from their overachieving regular season. Poor shooting has bit them in the butt every third game or so, […]
The Rockets, as perhaps an oracular punishment for blowing a lead against the Spurs the night before, and getting embarrassingly run off the court to close that game, were sent out on the road to Atlanta the very next night. There was little doubt that the Rockets would in fact play this game, but considerable […]

So here’s the forecast for Saturday (a.k.a. Braves Fest day) as of right now: Of course, this could definitely change between now and Saturday (especially considering how the Metro Atlanta area ended up dodging a bullet (for the most part) when it came to last weekend’s ice storm) but also OOF. Even if there’s no […]
