Braves fans will never have anything they don’t want 💔 I fucking hate those pussies

@JesseKellyDC This is correct. Buccees is legendary for many reasons, but the barbecue might be the most overrated thing on the planet. Also, Korean BBQ flavor beef jerky for the win.

Cheesesteak burrito.

@DavinBellamy17 He was such a badass tailback that people actually forget how dominant he was returning kicks. Dude was 1 of 1. Will never forget being in the stands when he ran that kick back 100 yards vs Clemson in 2014. Pandemonium.

Todd Gurley was one the greatest football players I’ve ever seen with my two eyes

I wish Braves fans would love and appreciate Matt Olson half as much as non-Braves fans

@RhubarbBrown I’d settle for just bringing back the drums on the PA for the chop. I miss those vibes dearly every time I go.

The Braves should bring back Chief-Noc-A-Homa and after wins, he should ride horseback from the bullpen all around the warning track waving a tomahawk in the air. This is what our children want.

@ATLHeadband It’s insane. We all loved Freddie. the narrative that “his agent screwed him and he really wanted to stay” and all his tearful interviews has hurt Matt. Screw that. If Freddie wanted to be here, he would be. Now he’s the enemy. We’ve got the best 1B in the game. Get on board.

@PeteTheGreek13 Not all heroes wear capes. Braves Country thanks you, Mr. Stearns!

While Mets fans were basically split 50/50 last year on keeping Mendoza, there were two coaches on the staff that we almost all agreed should stay on: Jeremy Hefner and Antoan Richardson. You know who thought he knew better? David Stearns. He jettisoned both those guys. You know where they are now? Look below and see if you can guess. It's not hyperbole when I say everything this man has done to this team has been an unmitigated disaster. Yeah, Im not stopping this until that dork is gone from my team. #LGM @StevenACohen2

@DeanPMitchell @AlTheBoss03 Same energy, my man. Core memories.

@wiseOwl1984 @AlTheBoss03 I was 41 years old and slid on my knees across the floor, picked up my wife, threw her over my shoulder, and ran around the basement.

Be honest — when's the last time you were GENUINELY happy as a sports fan? 😤 Not just relieved. Not just "well at least we won." Actually, jump out of your seat, hug a stranger, can't stop smiling HAPPY. 🏆 When was it?

@DeanPMitchell @AlTheBoss03 Absolutely. 2022 was satisfaction, validation, confirmation that we are here to stay…..2021 felt like my soul left my body and 20 years of pain released all at once. I think I blacked out with joy. But that could have also been the bourbon.

@wiseOwl1984 @AlTheBoss03 Me too. The TCU game the next year was less dramatic, but it was 3 hours of sheer happiness without a complaint in the world.

@HawkEmDownChris The 🐐 fictional college

Without googling, can you name a fictional college?

@BohmIsKing @Braves

@BohmIsKing @Braves

The Phillies win streak starts tonight. Y’all better not think your division lead is safe @Braves We. Are. Coming.

@BohmIsKing Yeah that really sucked. He looked awful getting his first win. Hey sorry you guys lost your 9th straight game, you came so close today! I’m sure you’ll get one soon!

BRAVES ROOKIE JR RITCHIE OFF TO A GREAT START IN HIS DEBUT 🔥🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱😱😱

Thoughts on JR Ritchie’s MLB debut? #BravesCountry

@Dawgsfan2017 @GrahamCoffeyDC I spent time on the DawgVent every day of the year, followed every big time recruit with a passion. Hardly ever bother to go on these days. Just can’t get excited about any of it anymore except on game day.

@GrahamCoffeyDC Couldn’t agree with you more. College football was something I read about non-stop 365 days a year. Recruiting..all of it. Over the last 5-6 years the amount of time I spend reading about it in the offseason is less each year..none of the changes have been good. Just sad

I’m gonna rant a little bit here because Josh’s clip accurately explains the dynamic that’s happening right now, and it is sad, frustrating and disappointing… Let’s first remember that this entire current round of expansion talks has turned into a proxy war between Fox (who wants to trigger the games coming back up for bid) and ESPN (who wants to keep the rights they already won)… If the B1G was in business with ESPN I doubt they’d be pushing for 24 teams… What a terrible way to decide the future course of a sport. The revenue projections for more games are inflated because people don’t have the same interest for the #23 team vs the #17 team as they do for the top tier. Putting that aside, the projections are also based on people continuing to care about this sport. Keep devaluing the regular season and that’s not going to happen. NASCAR is a perfect case study on how to alienate your base. College football’s inability to look at that lesson tells you that they don’t think they need the fans to make the money they want. That will be true the first time these games are bid on, but it won’t be the second time. They are trying to grab extra pennies now without realizing they could break their entire longterm business model. It’s short term thinking that just kicks the can down the road and solves none of the real problems that are creating these discussions to begin with. The way to fix the sport is to fix the sport. They think they can be like the NFL, but nobody asked themselves why people are emotionally attached to cfb and why people cultivate that same love in their children. People like tradition and nostalgia, and you can’t tap that when the stakes for a regular season rivalry game become diminished so much that they no longer exist. They think they’re going to be the NFL, but they’re in danger of turning themselves into a mostly one month viewing experience like March Madness. The NFL is a better pure football product, and taking out the roller coaster effect of the regular season makes cfb closer to every failed spring league than the NFL. If they go to 24 they’ll be trying to shrink it again within a decade. The problem is that you can never get that lost generation back. Once you lose it you lose the kids that they don’t pass the sport down to. It took 150 years to get the sport here. You can’t just undo these types of errors. Ask NASCAR. They hit 20 million AVERAGE viewers during the 2006 Daytona 500 and peaked at 37 million total viewers. They were the second most watched sport. They abandoned their base in the Southeast to capture new markets in the Midwest and West. It failed miserably. 30 years since they last held a points race, NASCAR is going to North Wilkesboro in 2026 in an effort to recapture the diehard base they once thought they owned. College football is way closer to this than anyone wants to acknowledge. You can’t devalue the regular season in an era where the emotional relationship between fans and players has been lessened because of player movement AND the perception that guys are only choosing schools for the biggest bag. Fans love college football because their dads and moms loved it and the underlying belief that the players chose the same school they did. The magic trick doesn’t work quite the same now. Flush the traditional stakes of the appointment viewing rivalry games and kill the most meaningful regular season in sports, and you don’t have much of a connection left. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in any business is failing to understand why people buy your product and engage with your brand. The people in the room who want 24 teams in the playoff have zero understanding of why fans engage with college football. It is like sending a guy to congress from New York City and asking him to represent the people of a rural Kentucky county. Of course it’d be a disaster… The problem in cfb’s case is that these people don’t know that they don’t know.

@GrahamCoffeyDC 10/10 no notes. Every word of this is spot on and depressing. The most incredible sport on earth being completely destroyed.

@NFL_DovKleiman @AdamSchefter Best TE in the NFL? Are you high? Kyle Pitts wears Brock Bowers pajamas GTFO

𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: The Falsons are "open" to dealing star tight end Kyle Pitts leading up to and during the draft, per @AdamSchefter "Watch to see if the Falcons can find a trade partner for Kyle Pitts, who they're open to dealing." Kyle has the potential to be the best TE in the NFL.
