Kirk Cousins vs. Michael Penix, Jr. Is it time for the Falcons to make a change?

While I will be making a statistical comparison within this post, I am starting off by writing what I am "feeling" as an Atlanta Falcons fan. I am feeling two contradictory things. First, I feel that with the offensive talent Atlanta has, they should have a much better record than 3-6. Conversely, I am also feeling that outside of Bijan Robinson and Drake London, maybe Atlanta's offensive talent isn't really living up to the hype. Kyle Pitts has certainly been a disappointment since the start of his sophomore season and Michael Penix has shown flashes but maybe isn't necessarily ready to be the full-time starter.  And the Falcons still have an opportunity THIS season, even at 3-6. With a remaining game against Carolina, two against New Orleans, one at the New York Jets and one at Phoenix, that is 5 very winnable games out of the remaining 8. Flip one of the remaining three (against the Seahawks, Rams and Bucs, two of the games at home) and the Falcons could potent...

    There are two ways to get elected to be enshrined (such a haughty word) into the Baseball Hall of Fame. First is the most well-known, the elections of recently retired players by the Base Ball Writers Association of America, aka the BBWAA. The bylaws of BBWAA election to the Hall are as follows: Eligible Candidates  – Candidates to be eligible must meet the following requirements: A.

In case of the death of an active player or a player who has been retired for less...

College Football's Bottom 25 2025, Week 6

Image
  Husky Stadium, home of the Northern Illinois Huskies Welcome back again to another year of college football's Original Bottom 25 poll! In the new paradigm of NIL, the transfer portal and the seemingly never-ending post-graduate football careers in the NCAA, the ability to rebuild a program on the fly has never been greater. That said, however, almost every season finds many of the same teams occupying the bottom of the college football landscape. So, before we start this year's first poll, let's take a look back at the final poll of 2024.  1)  Kent State  (0-12),  2)  Southern Mississippi  (1-11),  3)  Purdue  (1-11),  4)  Massachusetts  (2-10),  5)  Kennesaw State  (2-10),  6)  Florida State  (2-10),  7)  Mississippi State (2   -10)  8)  Nevada  (3-10),  9)  Ball State  (3-9),  10)  Tulsa  (3-9),  11)  Georgia   Sta...
