@LaflareTMC While watching their LB one-hand pick and stiff arm us down the field 💀 it’s so embarrassing but I can’t turn away

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

@NFL @AtlantaFalcons tell Stefanski that nobody will be upset if Jack Strand falls on his face in Pittsburgh. Nobody wants to watch this

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

LONG overdue! Stoked that AJ25 doesn’t have to wait for his flowers.

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

By the numbers.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

Never the worst team in the league. But always the biggest laughingstock @AtlantaFalcons

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

Braves trade deadline thoughts:

Disappointed to not see a return on Ozuna, but if you set the precedent as GM that you’re a pushover in trade talks, it puts you at a disadvantage in the long run.

Also, no shot that anyone wanted an expensive reliever from a crapshoot bullpen.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

I’ve never seen the Hawks make moves like the past week. Huge fan of the new GM’s aggressiveness and intent, makes me want to start watching again

The Atlanta Hawks are trading the No. 13 pick in the Draft to the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 23 pick and an unprotected 2026 first round pick (most favorable of New Orleans and Milwaukee), sources tell ESPN.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

Just get swept and go home. Season starts on Friday

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

Tonight’s lineup ⤵️

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

You know how our d-line has been a laughingstock since John Abraham left? Let’s make it worse.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Falcons are releasing two-time Pro Bowl DT Grady Jarrett, per source. He has played his entire 10 year NFL career in Atlanta.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

This is actually justified unlike the Deandre Hunter extension

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

BREAKING: Jalen Johnson and the Hawks have agreed on a 5-year, $150M extension, per @ChrisBHaynes

$30M a year…. oh my! 👀

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

- we need to make room in the pen for Daysbel Hernandez
- re-sign Minter. Likely to sign a reasonable extension
- draft a HS OF early for Acuña’s potential succession plan after 2028
- in summary: only guy we “need” to shed is Soler for the money & we should be much better in ‘25

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

Braves thoughts:

- overachievement making it to October, given the nonstop injuries
- thanks for everything & best of luck in LA/SD, Max
- replacing Max & Chuck: 3 solid options in AAA, but no lefties. Eye a buy-low scenario for Jordan Montgomery at the bottom of the rotation

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

- keep Arcia, but upgrade SS if we aren’t overpaying. Which is tricky because the FA class this year isn’t loaded
- Soler is a solid bat, but serves us no purpose as a defensive liability in OF + costly. Package him in a trade for a LHP and/or SS
- Bummer $7M club option?? BUYOUT

Swollenbach is such a DOG

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

Why is it not already an NCAA requirement for all NIL deals to be mutually bound by a contract? You don’t show up to the first day of work merely on the premise of being compensated.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

UNLV QB Matthew Sluka is out for season (NIL) despite 3-0 start 🤯

UNLV's starting QB Matthew Sluka was reportedly verbally offered $100K by an assistant coach to transfer from Holy Cross, but UNLV showed "no effort" to finalize a contract, per @PeteThamel

Sluka stepped down despite a 3-0 start after only receiving $3K for relocation. His reps say he didn't ask for more than the original $100K.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

This is bigger than him - he at least altered the stats, if not careers, of the pitchers who he was tipping off. The consequence needs to be more severe than just releasing him.

Sue for his 300k signing bonus and disperse that among all of the pitchers that he caught this year.

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Twins 2024 6th round pick Derek Bender has been released less than 2 months after being drafted

Bender was telling opposing hitters what pitches were coming in a game with playoff implications, per @JeffPassan. The team went on to lose this game and were eliminated.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

@TalkinBaseball_ 3/27M with 1% to the Braves foundation confirmed

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

@RapSheet @AthletesFirst Hilariously toxic that Terry yanked him away from the Aints at the last second

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

At long last, the Falcons have replaced John Abraham 🙏🏼

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Sources: Patriots are trading Pro-Bowl pass rusher Matt Judon to the Falcons for a third-round pick.

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

@StoolBaseball You clowns proud of yourselves? @Braves

[Jake Lovvorn @lovvorn_jake]

@DarthEldniw @UmpireAuditor The pitch was a high & in fastball that missed on the low outside corner, forcing the catcher to chase it with his mitt instead of framing it. It’s an unrealistic expectation of umpires to deem such a big miss in a borderline location as a strike
