    Big 12 Mulling Expansion?

    I'm really not a fan of all the expansion that is going on in college sports. To me it's watering down the product and making it not as good. ACC basketball used to be truly special with a lot of intimate rivalries when it was just 9 teams. Now it's this mega conference with a lot of teams and...

    Atlanta Braves fan thread.

    I'm going to start this thread to post Atlanta Braves news and results. Hopefully there are some fellow Braves fans that can add to the discussion. I was expecting this to be a rough year but not this rough. Braves currently have the worst record in Major League Baseball at 8-25. They've been...

    Maddux, Glavine, and Thomas to HOF

    As a Braves fan, Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz were three of my heroes growing up. I absolutely worshipped that crew from the Braves in the 1990's. Pretty special times as a fan, and something I don't think that's going to be duplicated anytime soon. I also liked and respected Frank Thomas very...

    Ever caught a ball?

    Nope, never caught a fly ball. Been to plenty of minor league and major league games, but never got my hands on one. As a kid it's something I dreamed about. Going to a game, and catching a fly ball would have been a memory of a lifetime. Alas, it never happened and I was sorely disappointed. At...

    Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed

    This is an unbelievably sad tragedy. You just never know when someone is going to snap. By all accounts he seemed to be a good person and loved by his teammates. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, as is so often this case. Unfortunately our society is violent. No matter how many...

    Can the buccaneers make it?

    They're obviously a long way off right now. They play in a tough division. Carolina is going to be good again. New Orleans and Atlanta improved their roster. If Jameis Winston turns out to be a franchise quarterback then obviously they've got a much better shot at becoming a contender again...

    2016 MLB surprises

    I'm not surprised by the Cubs success at all. They've got a really solid roster and a great manager. I thought they'd be one of the best teams in the league, and they are. Little bit surprised by how poorly the Yankees are playing. Then again, their starting pitching was expected to be mediocre...

    2016 MLB Season

    Though I'm a huge Major League Baseball fan, this season has been disappointing to me. And that's not because of anything other than me being an Atlanta Braves fan. We're beyond terrible thus far this season, so it hasn't been a very enjoyable experience. On the other hand, it's been a pretty...

    Dee Gordon suspension

    For the most part, I believe Major League Baseball has done a good job cracking down on cheaters. There's always going to be people who are going to juice up. It's always been that way. Even though there's been more of a focus on it in recent years, it's always been going on. The instance of Dee...
