Well, the Falcons beat the Saints, in an extremely hard-fought game by both teams. I must say though, the penalty call at the end of the game was a very bad one, it had nothing to do with the play whatsoever, and it cost the Saint the game. Still, I must say congrats to the Falcons.

I heard Leo Mazzone is leaving for Baltimore.  That is not good news.  The Braves will certainly miss him.

[ZachariahDaMan]

He is now Baltimore's pitching coach.

The question that remains to be answered is how the Braves (not necessarily just the pitching staff) will fare next season, but also as to how Baltimore's pitching staff will improve and how it will affect the team's overall performance next season.

Any thoughts?

I myself am personally not too happy with this decision.

This weeks Sports Illustrated has an NBA preview and it says the Hawks will finish 13 out of 15 teams in the eastern conference.  What do you guys think about that?

It lists it's starters being, at center Zaza Pachulia, small forward Josh Smith, power forward Al Harrington, poing guard Joe Johnson and shooting guard Josh Childress.  For key players it also lists, Tyronn Lue, rookie Marvin Williams, rookie Salim Stoudamire, Tom Gugliotta, and Tony Delk.

I'm surprised it isn't lower...well, okay, perhaps what I said is an exaggeration, but I'm still not surpised really. The Hawks are known for doing a pitiful job.

Not to say that I don't support them, though, just trying to be brutally honest about it.

[ZachariahDaMan]

Yeah, they don't have the greatest group of starters.

I think the Hawks wil play better this year, but it is to early to tell.

Call it pessimism/cynicism, but I doubt it. They might play a little better, but it one be some huge leap of greatness (if you catch my drift).

Like you said, though, it is too early to tell.

You got that right.

I can count on one hand how many times we have beat them since I went there. I think we won once in the four years I was a student. I did like going down to Jacksonville for the largest cocktail party in the world.   I hope my child doesn't read that I said that because she would never think that her mother would do such a thing.

GO LINDSAY GO!!!

^I may be young, but I have recordings of that.

Whatever the case, I'm still looking forward to the game. It's always a good one to watch, even if we do lose most of the time.

Going to Jacksonville must have been an exciting experience. The river must have been nice, too. It certainly one of the most beautiful locations I can think of for a city, IMO. (wait till the Jacksonville forumers read that. )

If UGA can shut down Chris Leak, the game should be theres. LSU got to him constantly, causing him to have one of his worst performances of his college career. Because of this, the UF offense was horrible thoughout most of the game.
I think Georgia's defense will destroy Floridas offense, which is great, because I'm not to big of a Gator Fan.

Those Falcons looked really well last night. I was so proud of them. Now my mind can go back to the Gator Game. Goooooooooo Dawgs. Wooooo Hoooooooo!

[atlmangum]

If we do these things this weekend, we will beat the Gators:

1) Run the ball
2) Conservative passing (screens, throw to tight ends)
3) Win the turnover battle

My freshman year at UGA I went down to Jacksonville and that was the first time we had beaten Spurrior ('97).  We won that game by running the ball and controlling the game clock.  I hate the fact that Fla. has had a bye week to figure things out.  Now if I can just find a bar in Chicago that will have some rowdy Dawg fans.

Go Dawgs.

Go Dawgs.

Can't help but agree with what you propose they do to win against Florida.

As for finding a Dawgs bar in Chicago, your predicament sounds much the same as Lewis Grizzard's while he lived in Chicago (although I think he called the city several other names that probably wouldn't be fit to post here ).

Here's a nice little review of the braves performance this season from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

I found it quite a nice little read.

[ironchapman]

Dawgs lost to Florida 10-14. This is the 14th time in 16 years that this has happened.

Now they want two more seconds on the clock to resolve some penalty (I guess). Perhaps the rules have no sense of justice

[LizellaJacket]

Great day for America!  Tech won and the Dawgs lost!
