Tomlin isn’t going anywhere

Laughing at thought that national audience is watching this and saying, “Why is everybody complaining about Kyle Pitts?”

So much talent but not sure where his head is most of the time. He misses blocks and drops passes. Goes at half speed. He’s like Vic Beasley on offense. If it’s a modest contract and the next coach thinks he can get something out of him, I have no problem with him being back. But money will be key.

Honestly, he has liked almost everybody he has fired. He does not like firing people.

Because when a team goes from third-and 2 to third-and-12 on self-inflicted penalties, everybody must go!

I’ve long believed Arthur Blank is going to blow it out after the season. As in, everybody. The only debate is whether he lets Raheem Morris go before the season ends, just in part to send a message to fans (and potential candidates).

About 45 percent of NFL games are decided by 7 points or less. So tired of lazy broadcasters using stat about how many Falcons’ losses are by one score. That’s what separates good teams from bad teams.

Nick is basically saying they should hire Urban Meyer.

Braves add reliever Robert Suarez to bullpen as setup man, backup closer Suarez has a unique path as a hard-throwing late bloomer, and he leveraged that into a three-year deal.

The Braves need a lot of fixing. This is a good start by Alex Anthopoulos.

He's available!

You mean as opposed to somebody who scrambled to delete text messages with Connor Stallions and pretty much masterminded the whole sign-stealing scandal ... and now the latest? OK, I guess that makes sense.

Is it your intention to scare people with your Neptune size head?

Ryan Seacrest’s high school to name football stadium in his honor Seacrest was a standout on Dunwoody's football team, which won the 1992 AAAA Regional Championship.

Ryan Seacrest’s high school is naming its football stadium in his honor. This little story has my favorite quote I've gotten in 30 years: “He was feisty,” said former Dunwoody coach David Kelly, now an assistant at Colorado. “He’d knock the crap out of people.”

A college coach getting fired for an inappropriate relationship. Sounds familiar, but without the visuals of a motorcycle and a neck brace.

BREAKING Michigan coach Sherrone Moore has been fired for cause. The school announces that “credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

Just texted with Ivan. I’m told this is back on. Sanity and emotional stability prevails.

Oh, dear Lord. What a sorry bunch of doorknobs.

BREAKING: The Baltimore Orioles and Pete Alonso have agreed to a five-year, $155M contract, a source confirms to @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social.

I still like Comic Sans.
I’m totally screwed.

I think if he's on a 53-man roster, his eligibility would be pushed back 5 years.

Here's the truth about most athletes: They never want to quit. They only retire when they have to -- nobody will pay them anymore. The game day thrill and the desire for that comradery seldom leaves them. So, no, the thought that Philip Rivers would want this at 44 doesn't surprise me.

The Hawks are included in Howard's excellent piece here -- and, yes, it's intriguing, notwithstanding the inglorious history he references.

I'm so glad fantasy football wasn't around when I was a kid. I would've been even more obsessive than when I played fantasy as a "grown-up."

Falcons coach Raheem Morris: Lack of job security ‘is the price of doing business’ Morris said Monday he won't focus on his own job security with four games remaining in the season. "I'm gonna give ... everything I've got."

“Team owner Arthur Blank “is 100 percent supporting me,” Morris said Monday. “Support is not an issue.”

Support also should not be confused with job security.

The entire Falcons’ season should’ve been shown like this. And they need Mike Wazowski at tight end.

You make me miss trips to Lambeau. No, scratch that.

If you look at the ACC standings you will not find @notredame.bsky.social. Why? Because Notre Dame football is only part-time in ACC. Miami is a full partner. For AD Pete Bevacqua to be upset that ACC sided with Miami over ND for playoff berth is the height of arrogance. But, hey, on par for Rudy U.
