Hawks Board Non-Sports Talk

I've never been a huge Tom Brady fan, nor have I been a hater of his. I love this move by him though ...

http://www.ajc.com/sports/tom-brady-reportedly-cuts-short-radio-interview-over-remark-about-daughter/ASaG6OX81sGvKHgQRaBTPO/

Long story short, he cut off a weekly appearance on a BOS radio station over a disparaging comment another host made about his daughter after her appearance in his documentary.

I get it, if/when you put your kids in the public spotlight you kinda have to expect the lowest common denominator to make rude comments just because that's how people are in 2018.

But still, that station needs him a helluva lot more than he needs them. Sure it was only a weekly appearance but I'm sure they get an unbelievable amount of cache from saying, "Bwah, Tahhhm Brady comes on are show, blah, bwah, bleh."

Speaking of lowest common denom, sports radio hosts are the worst for the most part. Fake tough guys looking to push the envelope, tryna be 'edgier' than the next guy. Ridiculous.

The comment wasn't overly awful but, if I'm Tom, "Keep my kids' names outcho mouf."

Why do people make comments about children of celebrities? comments of any kind really. That jackwagon should be fired immediately.

No kidding. That is such an overtly racist logo. All these things have to go by the wayside in sports. It's crazy we still have the redskins.

It's only a matter of time before the Redskins are forced to switch. The topic has been debated for years and it's been long enough.

He should be but now Tom Brady says that he doesn't want to see that happen.

I use the Doraville Marta Station often but only part there rarely. However, this will cause issues for them now that they've decided not to use their parking deck. This station is the final stop on the North side of town. Seems like a good play for Marta to not keep up with the upkeep and maintenance of the parking decks.

no way it's a coincidence this new mascot arrives immediately after the Indians change their logo.

PR folks had to know a decision was coming down and throw this out there as a distraction.

Definitely don't want anyone to bring this into the conversation:

I'm only just now recovering from last year's Falcons collapse.

Man, I hate Tom Brady.

Man I hit the trifecta this weekend. St. John’s beat Duke, Hawks beat the Knicks, Eagles beat the Pats. If I hear kg stubbed his big toe while getting a late night snack or had to babysit a drunken BIL I’m sending the staff home for the week.
