After what seems like an eternity following this team, I'll be going to my first ever Hawks home game next month! (No I don't live in Atlanta)

Any recommendations on kid-friendly things to do around Phillips, before/after the game? Current leading option is getting them cranked up at World of Coca Cola :lol:

In all seriousness looking for recommendations on what to do in Atlanta, and especially where to eat

kg01,

Your Yellow Jackets are down 36-8...at home...in the first half...against an unranked opponent.

Just awful play by your guys today.

Are they also Tanking for Zion Williamson?

1. This is hurtful. A real gut punch from you, jammmmaal. You're supposed to be the good cop here. Whut happened to you, bro?

2. We were gonna lose anyway 'cause we suck anyway, but we also had 3 of our top 6 players out injured so iiwii.

3. I don't sign off on anything we're doing as a basketball program right now. I'm just biding my time til we can hire a real coach. Til then ....

4. Also, "Are you guys tanking too, blah, blah. .?"

Really? That's some grade-a shot-takin' right there. I hurtfully approve.

I grew up rooting for both guys.

McGriff is at least a borderline candidate IMO.

Andruw is not.


927 homers not enough to get Braves’ McGriff, Andruw Jones in Hall of Fame

Image

It doesn’t appear Braves great Andruw Jones will be joining his former teammates in the Baseball Hall of Fame anytime soon.

The retired center fielder was picked on just 7.5 percent of the ballots in voting for Hall Tuesday.

Another beloved ex-Brave, first baseman Fred McGriff, was picked on 59.8 percent of the ballots. 75 percent is required to reach the Hall.

Jones did receive enough votes to surpass the five percent minimum needed to remain on the ballot next year.

Not sure if Andruw gets in or not but he was a top 3 defensive center fielder in his day if not top 2 imo. Oh I also saw him naked in the lockerroom of a giants game in 1998...long story but he looked like he wanted to fight.

Nobody (my friends) won’t give me a chance to explain myself. I had media press passes from KRON to get into the locker rooms (internship) after the game betweens the Bravos and Gigantes. I sat in the sun for 3 hours on a hot day...you ever sit in the sun and just get so depleted you feel like ur dazed. Well my dazed self went into the lockerroom and unfortunately Andruw had gotten out of the shower and my dazed look happen to look down at it...we made eye contact and he looked like he wanted to kill me. I got out after that....

:lol: I had never been in the lockerroom of any event before. They had a spread of food you wouldn’t believe..like junk food ...nachos and lasagnas and enchiladas...I was like damn baseball guys get in shape already. Needless to say, Bobby Cox attacked the food quickly.

Yeah...I definitely would have kept that story to myself.


NOTE: I'm pretty sure this is the exact same story of how Monica met Bill in the White House that same year.
