The new Atlanta Braves network, BravesVision pays tribute to Ted Turner and the team’s TBS heritage by including part of the late 90s-early 2000s TBS theme in their game open.

The most terrifying detail about Noah's Ark isn't the size of the flood. It is the design of the boat.
If you look closely at the blueprints God gave Noah in Genesis 6, He was extremely specific.
He gave the exact length, width, and height. He specified the type of wood and the pitch to seal it.
In my little years, I have never thought of this, but God intentionally left out one crucial component. There was no steering wheel, no sail, and worse still, there was no engine.
Think about how scary that is.
Noah was building a massive vessel to survive a global storm, but he had zero control over it, or over where it went. He couldn't steer it away from rocks. He couldn't turn it into the waves. He couldn't aim for dry land. He was completely at the mercy of the water.
The Ark was not designed for navigation; just for floating.
Noah’s job was to be the Passenger, not the Captain.
God was the Captain.
This is a picture of your life right now.
You are trying to put a steering wheel in a boat that God can control, if you let Him…
A freshman punter was called up to varsity team during the homecoming game and this happens. You can only imagine what the school was like on Monday for that young man.
Walt Disney once told Charles Schulz he wasn't good enough to draw background art.
Form letter. Very polite.
"We only hire the very finest artists."
Sparky wasn't one of them.
His yearbook rejected his cartoons. His school gave him a zero in physics. He failed every subject in eighth grade.
Every. Single. One.
The other kids called him "Sparky" — after a horse in a comic strip.
They were calling him an animal.
Paul Harvey said it best:
"Sparky wasn't actually disliked by the other youngsters. No one cared enough about him to dislike him."
So this invisible boy did something strange.
He didn't try to prove Disney wrong.
He wrote his autobiography in cartoons instead.
Named the main character after himself.
Charlie Brown.
A kid whose kite never flies. Whose team never wins. Whose crush never notices him.
Then Schulz did something the network executives hated.
He put Luke 2 at the center of his Christmas special.
"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy..."
They told him to cut it.
Too religious.
He refused.
Christmas Eve, millions of families will watch that scene.
A loser became the messenger.
Disney said he wasn't good enough.
God said otherwise.
81 years ago tonight 156,000 troops waited for what would be the largest amphibious invasion in history. Many wouldn’t know whether they’d live to see another sunset. In the end, about 4,400 of them would lose their lives on the beaches of Normandy.
