Welcome to yet another morning edition of ATL Sports Headlines. We’ve got quite a few good links for you today, and I was even able to restrain myself from putting any UNC/Michigan State links in the mix. It’s all ATL for you.

Have at it:

Braves
MLB Braves beat writer Mark Bowmanlooks at a few veteran arm optionsfor the Atlanta Braves. And no, I don’t think Bartolo Colon is a good idea. DOB has a prettylong rambling column where he talks about payroll. I thought it was pretty interesting. The Tomahawk Take crew compares their top-20 prospects with minor league guru John Sickels.

Falcons
James Rael of The Falcoholic tells us topump the brakes on our expectations for Antone Smith. Dave Choate of the same sitetalks about the Falcons finally starting to play their young guys. Michael Cunningham of the AJCwrites about Robert Alford’s aggressive play, and the turnovers he has seen because of it($).

Hawks
Kyle Korver tied the NBA recordfor consecutive games with a three-pointer in last night’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers. AJC’s Hawks beat writer, Chris Vivlamore haspost game quotesfollowing the victory, as well asthe three keys to the game.

Bulldogs
As much as I like Aaron Murray, I don’t think he should get Heisman consideration. Chip Towerswrites about that very thought. If you are a really creepy Georgia fan you might be interested in knowing that the student-athletes areabout to have a holiday party…

Yellow Jackets
The Yellow Jacketwomen’s basketball team beat Illinois, 93-69. Ken Sugiura recapsthe men’s 67-64 victory over Illinois. Those Illinois students aren’t going to be too happy with Georgia Tech. For any of you who attend Georgia Tech events, you may want to know that the school isabout to sign a multi-year extensionwith their “official outsourced ticket marketing, sales and service provider,” the Aspire Group.
