NBC Sports – Pro Football Talk
Atlanta Sports News – ATL All Day Editorial Note: Amid a bevy of moves by the Atlanta Falcons to shore up their defense (few huge), a report by Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk indicates that next in line to talk to the Falcons is safety Darian Stewart. Check out the report.

"Safety Darian Stewart paid a visit to the Broncos on Thursday, but that won’t be the only stop on his free agent tour.Adam Caplan of ESPN reports that Stewart is going ahead with his scheduled Friday meeting with the Falcons.

Atlanta Sports News – Atlanta Braves
Atlanta Sports News – ATL All Day Editorial Note: Elite shortstop Andrelton Simmons has had to sit out this spring with dings, but is ready to go now and going smoothly! Check out the report by MLB’s Adam Berry.
Andrelton makes smooth transition back into action
"TAMPA, Fla. — When Andrelton Simmons told manager Fredi Gonzalez on Monday that he was feeling good enough to play, Gonzalez knew his young shortstop was ready — or, rather, he knew his young shortstop well enough to wait a few more days before writing his name on the lineup card."
Atlanta Sports News – Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta Sports News – ATL All Day Editorial Note: I couldn’t have said this better myself, but I love the subject and focus of Brandon Boyd’s article on The Sports Quotient – DeMarre Carroll. Check out Brandon’s thoughts on Atlanta’s Forgotten Man.
Atlanta’s Forgotten Man
"Much was made about the selection of four Atlanta Hawks’ players to the NBA’s All-Star Game. Jeff Teague, Al Horford, Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver represented 80% of Atlanta’s starting lineup that entered the All-Star Break with a 43-11 record. DeMarre Carroll was the forgotten man in that group, the other 20% who stayed home while his four other starters and even his coach joined the All-Star festivities."
