Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been arrested for allegedly strangling and suffocating a woman. Which sounds bad. But it could be worse per sports media — he could have introduced President Trump at a rally.

Growing up in the south there was only one man respected more than Dale Earnhardt. And that was Bobby Cox. Every dad in the 90s wanted to be Dale Earnhardt but all those men admired the true great leader of the South..Bobby Cox. Every summer as a kid you would spend outside playing ball pretending to be Chipper..Klesko..Gallaraga or whatever new ball player the Braves added to the lineup that you learned the batting stance of so you could unload a tennis ball into the trees behind your mom’s garden in the backyard. It was Bobby’s world. He was the general who commanded excellence in Atlanta and we all got to watch live on TBS. From rainouts and Andy Griffith to pennants and World Series the man with the 6 on the back of his Jersey ran a tight ship and that carried over from the tv screen to sandlots across Dixie. If crime dog didn’t let Bobby down then neither could the boys of Keith Circle where I grew up. We started using golf balls and wrapping them with duck tape to form a baseball. ‘Tape ball’ was what we called it. We’d take whatever we needed from Mr. Donnie’s shed as he always was the Bobby Cox of our neighborhood encouraging us to play ball. He’d have the Braves game on the radio at all times it felt like. From Fulton county stadium to my little neighborhood in Williston, South Carolina.. Braves baseball created magic that spread throughout the South that shaped the lives of many young men like myself and the boys of Keith Circle. Without Bobby Cox there was no magic. From the Braves dugout to all the TVs across Dixie.. his ‘take no crap’ aura and ‘play the game the right way’ attitude is the reason he was so beloved and respected. May his legacy be known and talked about in churches and in bars and pharmacies and diners. I know all the old men in Hardee’s for breakfast come Monday morning won’t forget Bobby and will have plenty to talk about as they read the paper and sip their coffee. The South won’t forget Bobby. And neither will I..
..now how bout them Braves
RIP Bobby Cox
If an expansion team lands in Charlotte, Raleigh, or Nashville, which most likely will happen, they will be outnumbered by Braves 50:1, if not more. People aren't going to just switch allegiances that span generations.
Best to just stay away from Braves Country if you ask me!
The Giants organization & Tony Vitello have come under some absurd scrutiny as the NBJC claims “Blackface”.
The National Black Justice Coalition demands the Giants & Vitello apologize for their incompetence and lack of respect to the black community.

Arkansas getting Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and Vandy for the SEC Championship and Hawaii and High Point for the S16 is an incredible run of (potential) luck for the Hogs.
Don’t think I’ve ever watched an Olympics baseball game…have watched every USA game of the WBC this year. Maybe this kind of attitude is the reason we are getting punked?
Crushing news about Wes Rucker. A great man gone too soon. I cherished our pre game chats, which always centered around family first and sports last. He was a talented and dedicated journalist, but not before being a loving husband and father. R. I. P.
