    The Atlanta Falcons are my favorite NFL team…read more Born and raised in North Carolina, the Carolina Panthers were my first favorite team as soon as they were formed in 1995. The Panthers had immediate success in only their 2nd season (1996 season), making it to the NFC Championship game where they eventually lost to in-his-prime Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers in January 1997. Just a couple years after that, it was the "Dirty Birds" who made noise. The Falcons won the NFC Championship in January 1999. They went on to lose to John Elway and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXIII. That Falcons team, coached by Dan Reeves, with players like future-hall-of-famer Morten Andersen, running back Jamal Anderson, and corner Ray Buchanan, made an impression on me. Since middle school (maybe earlier), I've always rooted for underdogs. I've never been a bandwagon fan and rarely root for dynasties or favorites unless I truly liked that team. In the 90s, I never rooted for the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Packers, or Broncos. That's what I liked about Atlanta and Carolina. They were underdogs and I wanted to see them make history. I distinctly remember talking about both the Falcons and Panthers in high school. Kerry Collins and the Dirty Birds were hot topics at the time. To this day, both the Falcons and Panthers, fellow members of the NFC South, have yet to win a Super Bowl. Both teams have made it to the Super Bowl twice. The Panthers were able to do it in a lot less time than the Falcons, whose first season was in 1966. But enough about the Panthers - I'll review them separately. I moved from North Carolina to Atlanta in 2000 to attend Georgia Tech. It didn't take long for me to switch allegiances, at least as far as my No. 1 teams were concerned. I became a bigger NFL fan after I moved to Atlanta. Mike Vick had something to do with that. Also being a college football fan, I was well aware that Mike Vick was one of the best players in the country when he played for Virginia Tech (1999 and 2000). Georgia Tech was supposed to play Mike Vick's Virginia Tech team to start the 2000 season (the fall of my freshman year), but the game got cancelled due to lightning and was never rescheduled. Anyway, the Falcons drafted Vick with the 1st overall pick in the 2001 draft. The rest is history. Vick was the starting quarterback for the Falcons for the majority of the 2001-2006 seasons. The Falcons were mostly mediocre during those years. Regardless, Vick was an incredibly popular player and a regular fixture on SportsCenter because of his exciting style of play as the NFL's top dual-threat quarterback. It certainly got me interested more in the Falcons and the NFL, so much so that I purchased Madden NFL 2004 for the PlayStation 2. Vick was on the cover. It was awesome to have a Falcons player on the cover of the newest Madden game at the time. I played several seasons as the 2003 Falcons. I got to know the NFL rosters really well that way, especially the rosters of the NFC South: Falcons, Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - the 2002 season champs, and the New Orleans Saints. It was a lot of fun rushing with Vick in that game, the then-modern-day equivalent of Bo Jackson in Tecmo Super Bowl. The top receivers were Peerless Price, Brian Finneran, and Alge Crumpler (tight end) with starting running back Warrick Dunn and backup TJ Duckett. One Christmas Eve around that time (mid-2000s), I made eye contact with Warrick Dunn as he was headed to a set of escalators at Lenox Square with several shopping bags in-hand. He was by himself and it looked like he had just finished doing some last-minute Christmas shopping. Alge Crumpler played college football at North Carolina and was a regular on 790 The Zone, the sports radio station I listened to at the time. I now listen to 92.9 The Game, which is currently the official station of the Falcons. Since 2004, the Falcons' radio play-by-play announcer has been Wes Durham, who was the play-by-play announcer for Georgia Tech football and/or men's basketball games from 1995 to 2013. Of course, Arthur Blank and Matt Ryan have defined the modern era of the Falcons. Blank has owned the Falcons since 2002. He once walked right by me at an Atlanta United open training in 2018. Ryan has been the starting QB since 2008. I first saw Ryan in-person when he led Boston College to a road win over Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. That was 2007 and he was a star senior at BC. I was a big fan of Dan Quinn, the Falcons' head coach from 2015 to 2020. I met Coach Quinn and took a picture with him at a Georgia Tech men's basketball game in 2019. He was just as nice in-person as he was on TV and radio. Of course, Quinn led us to Super Bowl LI in February 2017. To this day, that 2016 Falcons season remains the most memorable and special to me. Matt Ryan was both the NFL MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the Year that season. North Carolina grad Arthur Smith has been the Falcons head coach since 2021.

    Fire Kirk today. This game was horrible on 10/26 against miami. I feel this season just went down…read morethe toilet. I won't be watching any games Cousins is in anymore.

    Lots of fun - the booklets give you the rules and help you identify the roles of the players…read more BYOB- coolers allowed Concessions were similar to a high school basketball game Purchase tickets online and skip the line Good times!

    When I first heard about the Atlanta Roller Girls a couple years back, it briefly crossed my mind…read morethat it would be cool to be a Roller Girl. After seeing my first 'bout' this weekend, two conclusions: 1) Yes. It would indeed be awesome to be an Atlanta Roller Girl in general. and 2) No. It would not be awesome to be a Roller Girl for ME specifically because I would whine about getting hurt, and probably try to instinctively dodge the other girls instead of whack! bam! smack! hitting them like they're supposed to. So, with shattered daydreams about my potential career as a Roller Girl, the second best thing to do, of course, is tell you why you should go watch 'em. The lovely ladies are all doing their bad arse rollin' and derby-ing for the passion . . .and not for the money, because, well, there isn't any. They are all much tougher than I, and nary a tear did I see. You can tell that they're having a good time, there's a ton of team camaraderie and of course, having fun wearing their crazy and fun 'uniforms.' With team like the Denim Demons and Toxic Shock, there are quite a few opportunities for creativity! As a spectator, aside from the roller derby action, the best part I must say is the BYOB functionality. You certainly can't BYOB (well. openly.) to a Braves game, now can ya? And the randomness that they are in the Yaarab Shrine Center on Ponce. Like, girls in skates and fishnets play in the the same place the dudes with tassel hats hang out. You can buy fried shrimp, roller girl t-shirts, and watch the Atlanta teams go head to head, then stick around for the out of town team games and show your Atlanta home team spirit. Their season runs March thru September, and the 2008 season opener tickets sold out a few days before the actual bouts, so plan ahead! The closest I'll come to actually being a Roller Girl is sitting on the front row danger zone, where girls slid into the audience a couple times. But with my BYOB and a comfy spot in the stands? Definitely how I like to roll.

    I was surprised this place is rated so low. I mean, I feel like you have to have a series of…read moreexpectations when it comes to going to see sports. Sure, the parking is difficult and expensive. But it's Atlanta. On game nights, Marta is packed, and it feels super safe. Honestly, the food and beer is some of the most affordable I have ever seen at a sports event. You can get a vegetarian hotdog for three dollars and a beer for five dollars. Amazing. Not the most comfortable seats ever, but I appreciate that the price ranges so that way you can decide whether you want it to be very affordable, or a splurge

    Not to be confused with Craplanta United (who are far less good), Naplanta United (they get tired…read moreby half time), or Faplanta United (they spend half time jerking off to Barbi and/or Khloe Kay and/or me and/or Candy Charms). Like the Seattle Sounders, Atlanta United is honestly one of the great success stories in North American football aka soccer. I would say that even more so because they managed to penetrate a market that usually isn't that great, as in, Atlanta sports, nah. The city is a transient city, a hipster city, a music city, a culture city, a liberal city, and a booming city, and none of those things support sports teams the way that, say, Pittsburgh does. All this time, Atlanta was begging for some kind of a less-All-American sport that was inclusive of everybody, the NFL is popular here but not like it is in a Dallas or a Philly even, and the city is a little more left-wing. The sports desires of ATL (parts of ATL anyway) showed up in the form of Atlanta United, who have been able to absolutely pack Mercedes-Benz stadium the same way the Falcons do (or moreso), in a way that only the Seattle Sounders can really be compared to. Bravo. Most clubs need to get into their own stadium so they don't have 3/4 of the stadium empty, whereas Atlanta United do just fine filling up an NFL stadium. It's remarkable and amazing. It helps that they were one of the best teams from day one. Hiring the best coaches (Martino anyway, less so DeBoer), and doing an amazing job all along. We're so proud of them and we're so happy with what they've managed to do. ATL is our southern home away from home, shared capital of the south (with Houston, not with Dallas). We will probably always be fans of them because of what they've managed to do and we're very proud as I said. I hope that they're able to sustain it and I think that they will do somehow. After LAFC, maybe alongside the likes of Toronto FC, Montreal, Sounders, and Red Bull NY, this is one of our fave teams in MLS.

    Organized co-ed adult league kickball is very, very popular right now (and has been the past four…read moreor five years) in the young adult communities in many cities as both a social scene and also as a new recreational activity. WAKA (World Adult Kickball Association) seems to be the most popular kickball league in Atlanta, though it's getting some stiff competition lately from Go Kickball. WAKA games are played at Hammond Park near Perimeter Mall (In the Sandy Springs / Dunwoody area) and at Piedmont Park in Midtown. Occasionally other league game play locations become an additional option (Candler Park, Coan Park, or Marcus Center). Park play venues and days of the week that games are played are denoted by Divisions (Thrasher, Lightning, Liberty etc) You can register as an individual (free agent) and they will place you on a team. You can also sign up with 15 or so friends and create your own team. Fees vary, but generally run between 65 to 75 dollars for an eight week season. For your money, in addition to organized game play, you get a tee shirt and 2-3 season parties (typically at the league bar). The fee finances 2 or three parties at the league bar (where all the teams gather for after-game socializing, drinking and eating). League members also get discounts at the league bar on certain beverages and food items (but you often have to ask your server or bartender). Said discounts are only good on game day (rain or shine) even if games get canceled due to bad weather conditions. There are similarities and differences when comparing WAKA with Go Kickball. Both organizations have the "Kickball Culture" thing going which I will attempt to describe. Both are dominated by young professional types, mostly single, in their mid twenties to early thirties. You will find a small percentage are folks just out of college and, even fewer, some folks in their mid to late thirties; however, they make up an even smaller percentage. Many married / engaged / otherwise involved couples will also play on teams with or without their single comrades. Some describe the culture as akin to people re-living their frat / sorority days. The culture is also similar to the Hash Hound Harriers in that imbibing (before, during and after game play) is prevalent. Also similar to HHH , team names often have sexual innuendo in them (Multiple Scorgasms, Big Red Balls, My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't, ..Etc). There seems to be a fair amount of hooking up or coupling going on (among the singles who play kickball mainly to meet significant others) but with the numbers game of 60% guys and 40% women, the women have the clear advantage in that area. The most attractive and aggressive men generally have the advantage in beating the odds. WAKA generally has better parties but is more clique heavy / insular; whereas, Go Kickball generally (but not necessarily) has better, or more lively, after game socializing at the league bar. Go Kickball perhaps has more play venue / park choice options with leagues at Piedmont Park (Midtown), Central City Park (Downtown) , Cobb Park (Smyrna), Lynwood Park (Brookhaven) and ?Park (Kennesaw). If you are new to Atlanta (or any city where kickball is offered through one of the two organizations) Kickball is great way to meet new friends. Since most people have not played the game since grade school / middle school, everyone is starting out on a relatively level playing field. Soccer players definitely have an advantage from an offensive weapon standpoint.

    WAKA is probably the most popular kickball league in Atlanta, though it's getting some competition…read morefrom Go Kickball. Waka games are played in Candler Park, located just south of Little Five Points. You can register a team or as an individual and they will place you on a team. Fees vary, depending on the number of players on your team. You get a tee shirt.
