Hawks: Hoopinion rounds up public opinion on how the Atlanta Hawks will hang in there without Joe Johnson. Consensus seems to be the Hawks are much better prepared for this than they would've been in previous years. As Peachtree Hoops points out, Johnson hasn't exactly been lights out thus far anyway.
↵Falcons: Atlanta Falcons fans like to complain about their team getting little media attention, untrue as that status may currently be. ESPN's David Fleming puts together the Falcons fan starter kit, and I'm not sure it would look much different if we'd written it at The Falcoholic. Lamenting William Andrews and Eugene Robinson, man-crushing Brent Grimes, and complaining about traffic -- that's pretty much the heart of the experience.
↵Braves: Stan Kasten's advice on succeeding at MLB winter meetings:"hang out in the bars."
↵ACC: Carolina March, a Southern blog, engages in revisionist history, a Southern activity. If Marvin Austin and his associates hadn't been extricated from the North Carolina Tar Heels roster, CM thinks the Heels are 10-2 at worst right now. Can't say I disagree.
