Tomahawk Take

Atlanta Sports News – ATL All Day Editorial Note: With the recent news about Atlanta Braves’ pitcher Mike Minor and his shoulder aches, fans are curious how all that will pan out this year. Fred Owens of one of our sister sites, Tomahawk Take, takes a closer look at how serious shoulder issues can be. Check it out!

Shoulder Injuries Are Serious Business

"News this week that Mike Minor would miss Sunday’s start and is now set to visit Doctor Andrews poured cold water on what we all hoped would be a rapid return to form for the Braves lefty.  At this point no one is suggesting that Minor’s shoulder is anything other than sore and tight due to overuse again this spring.  It is however worth revisiting why shoulders are so problematic."

The Telegraph

Atlanta Sports News – ATL All Day Editorial Note: Fans are thrilled by the Georgia Bulldogs’ seeding and double bye in the SEC Tournament, but an interesting article by Seth Emerson takes a closer look at how Georgia hopes to dispel any notion that they’re playing only for seeding in the NCAA Tournament. Check out Seth’s thoughts.

Bulldogs head to SEC tournament ‘playing with house money’

"The Bulldogs did exactly what they had to do, winning four of those next five, the exception being a close loss to No. 1 Kentucky that had Georgia fans applauding its team off the floor. And so as the week of the SEC tournament arrives, Georgia goes to Nashville with the ideal feeling, that it is playing for seeding in the NCAA tournament rather than a bid itself."

Report: Falcons Not Interested in OLB Brandon Graham

Hoops Habit

Atlanta Sports News – ATL All Day Editorial Note: Among the many “feel good” reports recently about Dominique Wilkins special honors and statue for the Atlanta Hawks, Luke Duffy of one of our sister sites on the FanSided network, Hoops Habit, breathes a fresh perspective on all this statue stuff. It’s an interesting read.

About The Atlanta Hawks And That Silly Statue

"Recently there have been a couple of feel-good stories in the NBA. These are always great to see, and without doubt the biggest was seeing Craig Sager return to the sidelines for TNT after successfully dealing with cancer. Somewhat lost among that brilliant news however was the unveiling of a statue for club legend Dominique Wilkins by the Atlanta Hawks."
