Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Let’s start the breakdown for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons! OT Kelvin Banks Banks, once again, had a great game, which seems like more of an expectation rather than a hope. This week against the Falcons, it is going to be a challenge that the rookie must step up to. The Saints could be […]
After Vidal Brujan’s split contract, the Braves have six (seven?) arbitration-eligible players that could be non-tendered by this afternoon’s deadline: Dubon is pretty much a lock because, well, they traded for him and his modest-but-higher-than-Nick-Allen’s-would-have-been arbitration-eligible salary. Lee and White seem like near-locks because they aren’t due very much (likely at or under $2 million) […]
We should all be #PL34SED by one alum’s performance last week, so let’s look back at the former Orange on NFL rosters: Arizona Cardinals: Garrett Williams Williams had three tackles and a pass break up in the loss to San Francisco. Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron Bergeron missed another game, but he’s back at Falcons practice […]
The Atlanta Braves made yet another move this week, this time signing infielder Vidal Brujan to a split contract for the 2026 season. Brujan was acquired by the Braves in August.

The San Antonio Spurs chopped down the Atlanta Hawks, securing their eighth home victory before going on the road for their next four outings. The visitors were are tied for the most road wins in the East (7), but they were unable to stop the Spurs when they pushed the pace, and they could not […]
After yesterday’s mini-flurry of Braves moves, and ahead of Friday’s non-tender deadline, the Braves have squeezed in another bit of news: Vidal Brujan was, up until this point, one of the Braves’ eight-remaining arbitration-eligible players most directly relevant to the non-tender deadline. (Jake Fraley was claimed on waivers, while Nick Allen and Mauricio Dubon swapped […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in San Antonio on Thursday night to face the Spurs. Coming off a loss against the Detroit Pistons at home, the Hawks were back on the road for two games, and luckily enough, they were able to get Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher back. On the other hand, the Spurs were […]

Falcons injury report, Wednesday, Nov. […]
Like Lakers head coach JJ Redick, I, too, am a Jay-Z aficionado. He referenced the track “A Week Ago,” reflecting on how high the Lakers were heading into their road trip before the low of two embarrassing losses to the Thunder and Hawks. However, things can also go from bad to good just as fast. […]
The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons wrapped up their second practice ahead of their Week 12 NFC South showdown.

The Falcons […]

No doubt Astros fans were taken by surprise when the news came down Wednesday night that Mauricio Dubon has been traded to the Atlanta Braves for IF Nick Allen.

We take a quick look back at a depth outfielder I was once moderately excited about, but who performed as a replacement level depth option. How Acquired Fairchild was acquired right at the beginning of the season, as the Braves traded cash to the Reds for him. He was a nice depth option for what […]

Just a stray thanks to you, the reader. I never forget that, if you’re not out there reading these words, I don’t get to write them. The timing doesn’t really matter on these things, so it isn’t a worry or a complaint. Just an observation: feels like this is pretty late in November for the Cubs not to have made their first small move. Now, to be fair, they retained Shota Imanaga via the Qualifying Offer, which is a major move, but that’s more of a procedural thing. What I’m talking abou...
There is no escaping the gloomy feeling surrounding the Atlanta Falcons. A once-promising season has disintegrated into a demoralizing year of catastrophic losses and franchise-altering consequences. They can’t win close games. They consistently struggle in the third quarter. They can’t find any semblance of consistency offensively. While strides have been made defensively, the unit allows […]
Hate Week, and it’s the saddest hate week in a while. The Saints are down in the basement of the NFC South and the Falcons are rapidly descending, which means two teams on their second quarterbacks will be meeting for a sad slap fight. The hate burns strong, though. The Falcons are playing for dignity […]
