The New England Patriots won a game that they looked to have in control for most of the first half by a single point. Ultimately, however, the Patriots did hold on to win their Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons to improve to 7-2 on the year. Let’s get into our lessons learned during […]
At one point in the late second quarter of their game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, it looked like the New England Patriots were cruising toward a sixth win in a row. Up 21-7 and with a chance to add to their total ahead of intermission, they appeared to be in full control. And […]
D’Ernest Johnson reverted to the New England Patriots’ practice squad on Monday after serving as a standard elevation against the Atlanta Falcons. The 24-23 win at Gillette Stadium marked the 97th game of the running back’s NFL career. Johnson, 29, participated in three practices before getting the call-up for Sunday. The Wednesday signing was part […]
The wait to find out who the new manager of the Atlanta Braves is over and as it turned out, the team has once again stayed within the organization in order to bring in their new skipper. Former Braves shortstop and bench coach Walt Weiss has been promoted to the position of field manager for […]
How Acquired Owen Carey was selected in the 15th round of the 2024 MLB Draft. He was the overall 461st pick of the draft. What Were Expectations? There were some solid expectations for Owen as the Braves were able to agree to terms with him and sign him for $150K following the draft. Any time […]
Following a redemptive month of September where Ha-Seong Kim joined the Atlanta Braves, there was always a very strong possibility of Kim opting out of his deal in order to test the free agency market. It made sense for him and all the elements were there: He had a lovely September, he didn’t exactly seem […]
AJ Minter has exercised his player option and will remain a Met in 2026, according to Jon Morosi. Minter signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the Mets last winter, which included a player opt-out after the 2025 season. The longtime Brave got off to a sizzling start in New York, allowing no runs in […]
Hard to believe we are so deep in the AFL season, but here we are with yet another AFL update from the last week of play. Nacho Alvarez Jr. 5G, .421/.500/.789, 4 2B, HR, 4 RBI, 3 R AFL season: .293/.438/.462 Nacho appeared in five games last week and had an extremely strong week of […]
How Acquired Tate Southisene was selected with the Braves first round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, 22nd overall. What Were Expectations?There weren’t many expectations for Tate because high school seniors don’t often make their full season debut in the year that they were drafted! It’s safe to assume Braves coaches considered Tate shattered their […]
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will be day-to-day with a hamstring injury, head coach Mike Vrabel relayed Monday morning. Boutte suffered the injury in New England’s 24-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday, leaving the game after playing 18 snaps — his last coming on Stefon Diggs’ second quarter touchdown. Boutte was then […]
Nothing quite like 4:30 p.m. sunsets, way-too-early holiday decorations, and the complete inability to not trek dead leaves into the house every time you open the door to remind us all that November is upon us. I have no idea where this year went. On the plus side — and what a plus side it […]
Hail, traveler! Snap counts, hot and fresh and maybe a little maddening, await you here. Offense Michael Penix Jr.: 56 Jake Matthews: 56 Ryan Neuzil: 56 Elijah Wilkinson: 56 Darnell Mooney: 56 Drake London: 55 Bijan Robinson: 54 Kyle Hinton: 53 Kyle Pitts: 53 Chris Lindstrom: 50 David Sills: 38 Tyler Allgeier: 17 Jovaughn Gwyn: […]
Say it with me, folks: The Atlanta Braves used 46 pitchers in 2025. They used 71 players overall (a MLB record for a single season) and of those 71, 28 of them weren’t around for more than five games. Connor Seabold is one of those players, as he was only here for a brief period […]
Dale Murphy is going to get another shot at getting a place in Cooperstown. The former face of the franchise for the Atlanta Braves has been included alongside seven other players on the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Baseball Era ballot. This is an Era Committee ballot that is focused on players who participated from […]
Before we jump into the transformation in 1976, when Ted Turner signed a deal to broadcast Braves baseball nationally, it’s important to first understand how it all started. Beginning in 1966, the Milwaukee Braves franchise was transferred to Atlanta. Although the franchise initially thrived after moving from Boston to Wisconsin, attendance began to decline around […]
The Atlanta Hawks capped off their first road trip of the 2025-26 season with a 117-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. This was a sloppy outing for the Hawks, playing without Trae Young for the second straight game, and the first time since it was announced that the All-Star point guard would […]
7-2 after an ugly loss, where the offense had their worst performance by far this season, and even though the defense did their job in the end there is just no way to overcome SIX turnovers. Colts need to flip the page fast and get ready for their game against the Falcons in Europe before […]
Monday is a day to replace the suffering of the weekend with the suffering of the workweek. Let’s think about something other than suffering. On Saturday, Mark Bowman helpfully reiterated the list of key dates for this offseason. Combine that with the Braves needing to make a managerial hire and potentially reshuffling their coaching staff, […]
After a rousing performance against the Atlanta Falcons in week eight — a game that saw Miami win by a score of 34-10 — the Dolphins came crashing back down to Earth in week nine when they hosted Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Miami lost 28-6 — another defeat in […]
Braves Franchise History 1928 – Voters in Massachusetts approve Sunday baseball in Boston, provided that Braves Field is more than 1,000 feet from a church. This leaves Pennsylvania as the only state with no Sunday baseball in the major leagues. 1960 – Warren Spahn finishes second in Cy Young voting to Vern Law, who finished […]
The Atlanta Falcons should’ve won that game and made a gorgeous autumn day in New England that much more enjoyable. I know that, you know that, the Patriots know that. They have to be letting out of a sigh of relief in Massachusetts today, given how close the margin was, while the Falcons pick up […]
Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat. The Patriots’ 24-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday saw a bit […]
As you know by now, the off-season is here. Many dates over the next few weeks are important in shaping the the next several months for every MLB team. The first significant date is Thursday, with club and player options and qualifying offers being determined for the 2026 season. For the Braves specifically, it also […]
I mean…they were close. And I know that doesn’t make it any easier. “Close” doesn’t count for much in the standings, but it does tell a story. Because for all the frustration, the Falcons went toe-to-toe with a very good New England Patriots team and, for stretches, looked every bit their equal. Michael Penix Jr. […]
The New England Patriots truly are back. Not only are they competing for the top seed in the AFC again, their quarterback is (usually) playing at a high level, and their defense is keeping opponents in check on a weekly basis, they are also at the center of controversy again. Well, that is at least […]
