Hawks: Hoopinion breaks down what a fine mess the Atlanta Hawks have gotten themselves into. Short of dealing Josh Smith or Al Horford, the team's only serious and definite long-term pieces, or dealing a backup for a draft pick that would probably end up sold anyway, this is the Hawks roster for the time being.
↵NFL Draft: Mocking The Draft serves up an initial 2011 mock draft, and it's a document I think we can all find something to be happy with. MTD has Georgia Bulldogs WR A.J. Green going second overall and the Atlanta Falcons picking 32nd.
↵Falcons: Last night the Dallas Cowboys were leading the New Orleans Saints 27-23 with about three minutes left. If Dallas could've grabbed a couple first downs, the Falcons would've suddenly had a game-and-a-half lead plus tiebreaker in the NFC South. I have witnesses that can verify I said, "Get down. Don't fumble," as WR Roy Williams ran down the field. Enjoy some of Joe Buck's snooziest commentary, and be glad the Birds get the Green Bay Packers at home:
