Shame on you, senator.” Their Wednesday night debate in Savannah was heated,… Source link

The Falcons got another win under Morris in a rainy Thursday night game, beating the Carolina Panthers 25-17. It looked like the Falcons might blow yet another… Source link

In sports they call that hurried flight your “window,” and there is a lot of conversation about the status of that opportunity — open or closed, opening or closing, painted shut or wedged with a coffee can. People seem to love the metaphor no matter the season, though summer seems most apt.

Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley was healthy for the first seven games of the season and having a tremendous season. It was tough to see him limping off to the locker room with a foot injury in the first half on Thursday night. Ridley made a nice catch over the middle in the second quarter and nothing looked unusual when he was brought down. But Ridley grabbed at his foot and stayed down. He was down for a while holding his foot and eventually came off the field and limped to the locker… Source link

On a Thursday morning conference call, Big Ten presidents discussed an exemption request from Nebraska to allow the Cornhuskers to replace Saturday’s canceled football game against Wisconsin with a non-league opponent, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
