    NCAA Football 2023

    I’ve not heard anything that says the GA program or Coach Smart is a “real disgrace”. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Sure, some kids got over excited about winning their second straight national championship and made bad decisions. Shocker! Meanwhile Ga has a schedule that sets up pretty...

    Well, I was a Braves fan for roughly 30 years (70-90) when they were generally terrible. The last 30 years have been better. But they still have only 2 titles in franchise history. One during the strike shortened season 1995/6 I think, and then a couple of years ago. Lots of division titles but...

    This is a little gloat-y but Braves fans have endured decades of frustration. “Revenge is a dish best served cold”

    Better late than never! Heck, now more (former) Yankees move here than vice-versa. We play the long game…🙃

    Braves win 6 out of their last 7 games - against both NY teams. Swept the Yanks. So Atlanta is on fire again. But in a good way, this time!

    Is Fran’s office still @Tower Place or whatever the business complex at the intersection of Peachtree and Piedmont is called these days? He’s got no shortage of stories from back in the day. But he’s always been a heck of a personality, even football aside.;)

    The only thing that’s certain is that nothing is certain. Braves were hot as fire going into the all star break. Since then, meh. That’s fine. No team can stay red hot all season. Winning the division conveys advantages but not certainties.

    live been a Braves fan since the 70s. They were lousy for much of that time, although they did have some good runs now and again. This current team, though, is by far their best ever. I think most would agree. Anything can happen, injuries, bad luck, crazy, unpredictable stuff. But right now...

    “Also, Bonilla may have screwed himself a bit. According to Insider, if Bonilla had accepted the $5.9 million and invested it at 8%, it would have grown to $104.1 million by 2035. If he took each annual payment at an 8% investment, it would reach $95.2 million in 12 years – the current deal...

    Perhaps so, perhaps not. An in-depth analysis would look at what the dollars he receives today would be worth if he received them years ago - after compounded interest and or stock returns. Especially as $1.2 million today, after the effects of recent and ongoing raging inflation, is not worth...

    Reviewing the K&C 40th Anniversary Special Edition Tiger I Model

    Two other extraordinarily well done aspects of K&C's magnificent Tiger tank model are the box and the protective foam. The box is both top quality and beautiful to behold. (unlike John Jenkins). The protective foam padding is precisely cut, making it easy to remove or repack the model while...

    N.F.L. 21-22 Season

    Wondering how serious of a deal football is in the state of Georgia? Here’s one perspective. Based on where they played high school ball. https://www.maxpreps.com/news/kSVmutjJi02CQsrCw9V3AQ/2022-nfl-draft-state-by-state-look-at-where-draftees-played-high-school-football.htm

    Dude. Of course. It’s still absurdly early in the season. See the Braves two years ago. Terrible first half, then World Series winners.

    From the video looks like Tree Rollins threw his elbow at Ainge first. That’s what the announcer says.

    What tank is better?

    "Some guy" Joe Rogan interviewed had an interesting perspective. He said if Russia and NATO were to square off, casualties would be 1,000 to one in favor of NATO. The problem with such an outcome, according to this guy, is that Russia/Putin would respond as if to an existential threat - almost...

    Walking Dead (WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)

    I stopped watching / caring about TWD after the first half of the last season. When the final half became available for streaming without commercials I decided to finish it. Unfortunately I just cannot slog through it. What a terrible, terrible tv show. The dialogue, plots, action scenes...

    Yes, pretty awful news out of Athens of late. Few minor points. The vehicles were rented and the recruiter assistant was not authorized as a driver for current players. She paid for that error with her life. So she personalty has already received the harshest punishment possible, IMO. And...
