I know many of you, even those that consider yourselves Georgia Force fans, don't have quite the same rabid passion you do for the NFL. I understand. It's okay.However that probably means that there are a few things you don't know. First, Columbus beat Dallas tonight! This means that the Force now have home field advantage next week also (assuming we beat the Soul tonight).You may also not

By Jason ChatrawI don't know if I'll ever get over Tom Glavine spurning the Braves for a few lousy million bucks and playing for the hated Mets, but John Smoltz has. In fact, he never had anything to really "get over." He misses his buddy, but has never had anything but nice things to say about Tommy.Before Tuesday night's game against the Mets, the New York media cornered Smoltz for a little

The baseball season has been upon us for almost a month now, and that has given us all a chance to look at most, if not all the teams, play at home and on the road. In addition to the game, I am intrigued by the uniforms and the changes made from one year to the next.So far, the only significant change has been Arizona, who switched from their Wimbledon inspired purple and green to red and black.

Last week I got a chance to visit August National for the practice rounds at the Masters. Since this was my first appearance there, I was dubbed a “chipmunk” by my friends who had been several times before. “Chipmunk” is the official term for a rookie on their first day on the course. Rodent or not, I have to write how impressed I was with the experience. I am sure you are thinking it was

With the beginning of every baseball season comes memories of my late Father, who loved two things more than anything else: my Mother, and the Atlanta Braves. After watching the Braves play last week, I was hit once again with one of those times where I wanted to talk to him about the beginning of another season. Of course, those phone conversations were challenging. He had a way of talking

By Jason ChatrawSunday Paper Sports EditorThe Atlanta sports world was buzzing Monday as a flurry of activity with a number of different teams has our heads spinning. Here's all you need to know:... Mike Hampton is done for the season, the club reported Monday afternoon. Hampton, who has a career record of 138-101 with a 3.97 ERA, tore a flexor tendon in his left elbow, requiring surgery that

By Adam KrohnSunday Paper Sports Columnist/Feature WriterI'm in the press box at Turner Field watching the Mets and Braves on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Normally, it's 75-80 degrees outside, but today, it's 45 degrees (windchill 36), and it feels more like October than April. And it's very obvious the weather is affecting the players, because both Chipper Jones and Carlos Delgado committed

By Jason ChatrawSunday Paper Sports EditorTurner Field hasn't been packed with fans this bundled up like this since Game 6 of the 1999 NLCS against these same New York Mets--and the atmosphere felt like October, too. Fans were chopping and screaming, giving the Mets the business. It's almost as if skipping an early exit last autumn did something to rejuvenate Braves fans. However, all it took was

by Julie Galich Sunday Paper Sports Writer Wherever there are coaching vacancies there are coaching rumors. Many UK websites had fans announcing that a new coach from the Sunshine State was headed their way this week. To me, it was a no-brainer for Billy Donovan to stay put at Florida. I don’t buy into the notion that Florida is now and will always be a football school. You don’t make

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any ill will for Atlanta sports fans that aren't behind the team yet. I understand all the arguments: so

Are these Gators one of the best teams ever? Close, but no cigar.
