Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
The Atlanta Falcons are going to have a drastically different wide receiver depth chart in 2026. The team already cut ties with KhaDarel Hodge, and now they’re reportedly about to cut Darnell Mooney loose as well. NFL insider Ian Rapoport is among those who say the team is planning to release Mooney after a disappointing, […]
For the second time this week, the Milwaukee Bucks blew a 16-point first-half lead and ended up getting blown out, this time to the Atlanta Hawks at Fiserv Forum, dealing a serious blow to their play-in hopes. Their losing streak is now at four games, and their average margin of defeat has been 24.2. Giannis […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in Milwaukee on Wednesday night to face the Bucks. The Hawks, winners of four straight coming into this game, were looking to continue that streak against a Bucks team that has not played well this season. This was also a big game as far as standings and lottery odds implications. The […]
Well in the aftermath of Jurickson Profar’s suspension, the Braves are down a (presumably) productive bat, but up $18 million dollars when you include luxury tax savings. That Mike Yastrzemski signing looks even more important now and Eli White is really not a bad platoon partner for him. That said, for a team that wanted […]

NFL free agency is just a week away, and the Falcons have a number of impending free agents to consider. Kevin Knight is joined by Joe Patrick to break down Atlanta’s free agent list, including potential re-signings, top targets on the open market, and potential surprise cuts to watch for over the coming days. Fellow […]
In a proceeding that attempted to redefine “exhibition, nonetheless televised for your enjoyment or something like it,” the Braves routed Team Colombia as a warm-up before the latter proceeds into World Baseball Classic play later this week. It’s tempting to describe Team Colombia’s efforts in this game as “going through the motions,” but that wouldn’t […]
The Portland Trail Blazers will visit the Memphis Grizzlies today after a difficult weekend of basketball. Portland was comprehensively dominated on Sunday by the Atlanta Hawks, with the game effectively over with three minutes left in the first quarter. In the end, the Hawks won 135-101. Somehow that score flattered the visitors. The good news […]
Hey, in addition to y’know, the whole Jurickson Profar mess and the exhibition against Team Colombia this afternoon, we’ve got some roster cuts. Rolddy Munoz gets cut after one official Spring Training outing where he issued three walks while getting two outs. A-yup, that’ll do it. He’s on the 40-man roster, but really needs to […]
Yesterday, the Hawks took action to fill their third and final two-way spot with the signing of Keshon Gilbert. The report broken by Jake L. Fischer of the Stein Line substack: Caleb Houston was recently converted from his two-way deal to a standard contract. In that space is now Gilbert, who played for the Wizards […]
You know the saying — yeah, that one. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice—if you fool me you can’t be fooled again. Erm, anyway. Look, I’m no stranger to, “You did what?“ I live in a house with two children under eight, a male orange cat (if you know, you know), two […]
The Milwaukee Bucks face off with the Atlanta Hawks tonight as both teams battle for play-in positioning. The Bucks (four games back) sit at 11th, while the Hawks are tied with the Hornets for 10th; a Bucks win means they would gain a full game on the Hawks. This will be the second matchup between […]
Matt Bryant crushed Younghoe Koo in the competition for best Falcons kicker of the past quarter century—obviously—and Matt Bosher handily won the punter gig. Now it’s time to close out our specialists voting—no, we are not litigating long snapper and Josh Harris’s role there—with returner. Honorable mentions go to Devin Hester—an all-time returner, but one […]
The big MLB news yesterday centered on drug suspensions, as two NL Easy players were reportedly linked to PEDs. The Phillies’ Johan Rojas was in the second case of the day, but the first was far more prominent: the Braves’ Jurickson Profar. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the exact same thing happened to Profar […]
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has been hit with a 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The penalty, which goes into effect Friday, would sideline him for the entire 2026 season, including any potential postseason games, and cost him his annual salary if upheld. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the […]
The Atlanta Braves have officially released a statement on outfielder/designated hitter Jurickson Profar’s 162-game suspension for a second positive test for a performance enhancing substance. The statement, which was issued on the team’s official social media account, expressed disappointment in the player but their support for MLB’s Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The full statement […]
The NFL Combine is in the books, and the class clocked in as one of the most athletic in history. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down their top performers and targets for the Falcons coming out of Indianapolis, including wide receivers, linebackers, defensive and offensive linemen, and more. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode […]
Jurickson Profar missed essentially the entire first half of the 2025 season after he tested positive for using performance-enhancing drugs. Unfortunately for him and the Braves, it’s déjà vu all over again in the worst possible way. Jeff Passan of ESPN is reporting that Profar has once again tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and […]
For the first time in several years, the Falcons have more pressing offensive than defensive needs. Some of it is due to the unfortunate circumstances at the sport’s most important position. Some of it can be attributed to the remarkable defensive ascendance. While the defense could use multiple additions to solidify Jeff Ulbrich’s group toward […]
I’ll admit it: I was skeptical when the Hawks acquired a guy who didn’t exactly endear himself to four-time championship head coach Steve Kerr. But clearly, sometimes a change in scenery is all you really need. Or maybe the Warriors just didn’t know what they had. Jonathan Kuminga was drafted seventh overall in the 2021 […]
On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any […]
Washington Wizards guard Trae Young will make his Wizards debut Thursday against the Utah Jazz, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Young, 27, was acquired by Washington on Jan. 5 in a trade that sent CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to the Atlanta Hawks. The All-Star guard had yet to appear for the Wizards as he nursed […]
We’re one month away from seeing the new Atlanta Falcons uniforms, assuming they do not leak before then. I can’t imagine the Falcons would be happy about that. Regardless, we now have an official release date of April 2 for the new uniforms, which the Falcons announced with a video featuring Bijan Robinson, Drake London, […]
Bryce Elder dealt with minor traffic on the basepaths during his time in this game but was able to get out of each situation without giving up a run. He was also helped by some solid defense (particularly from Jim Jarvis) as the Braves cruised to another spring training win in Grapefruit League action. Elder […]
