I don't like the NFL reaplay system. There is no reason for on field ref to go over and watch replay. The college system is much better. As far as pass interference that isn't up for replay but I get ur point. What is a catch? Who knows the NFL sure doesn't. Still take the buster posey play at 2nd in game 1. It took maybe 30 seconds for everyone watching at home to see he was out. Take into account the time spent when managers argue calls and your probably speeding up the games. There is no reason MLB couldn't have a replay official on the booth to view close calls and get it right. In baseball there is no judgement calls. Either you tagged the Guy before he reached base or you didn't.

I heard a comment this morning on ESPN about how nothing happened this postseason that screamed more replay was needed. I think the braves would disagree. Every braves loss had a blown call go against them. Those blown calls all lead to runs. Of course if it would have happened to Yankees it would be different I guess

Schedule is very favorable first half of season. Last two months is brutal. I think March we have only 3 road games. Unfortunately February we have only 4 home games. We better get off to hot start cause Feb could be ugly and many of the home games in March are vs top tier teams.

Trade Jurjens for Rasmus. Trade Beachy, Aroldys Vizquino, Cody Johnson and another prospect or 2 for Matt Kemp. Sign Javy Vazquez to 1 year deal. Sell Kawakami to a Japanese team to clear his money. Rotation now is Huddy Hanson Lowe Vazquez Minor. Bullpen Dunn Oflaherty Venters Moylan Marek Proctor Kimbrel. Line-up Prado Chipper Heyward Kemp McCann Rasmus Gonzalez Freeman. Ross Infante Mclouth Hinske. Sign vet RH hitter to fill out bench. That looks like a winner to me. More importantly it still leaves us flexibility with medlen coming back and Teheran, Delgado and Hoover coming to replace Lowe and Huddy.

I think in a yr we wont even care that Fedor didnt sign w/ UFC. I believe he will lose soon. Possibly to Overeem. Overeem is a K-1 star and just the type guy that I think can beat Fedor. Arlovski was well on his way to beating him until his brain fart. Personally, I am looking forward to GSP vs. Silva, if it ever gets done, that will be the fight for title of P4P best. My money is on GSP. He is twice the fighter Fedor is in my opinion.

What a complete joke. I dont know the real story behind M-1 but if it is as I think, Fedor is a co-owner and wants to build that brand. Well, thats fine but please tell me Mr Fedor.....WHAT THE HELL DOES M-1 OFFER? To use a wrestling analogy, its not like you are ECW going to WCW or WWE and saying hey lets do a co-promotion where we bring these guys and you some guys. No, its 1 freaking guy....Fedor. Basically you want the UFC, the freaking UFC, to allow you to attach the name(and thats truly all it is) M-1 Global to any event you are on and receive a big chunk of revenue? What a joke! Friend of mine had a great suggestion. When Lesnar destroys his next opponent, either Carwin or Velasquez, he should stand up and immediately walk to the nearest camera and calmly say......"Thats why Fedor is in Strikeforce"

Give them a yr or 2 and see what they do then. They got some good players for those guys they traded. Their payroll has to be next to nothing so when all those young guys make it to the bigs they will have plenty of cash to spend to bring in vets to complete their team. Now if they dont spend money once these guys reach the bigs then I would say someone needs to do something. What they are doing is not a bad idea as long as you take advantage of the cheap young talent by surrounding them with some high priced vets when the younger guys are ready. It just sucks for pittsburg cause they have been losing for so long in such a good sports town.

Well, like Joe said during game it was prolly more of a move to free up 1st base for Freeman next season. We are gonna be very young with Heyward and Freeman in there. Hopefully it will free up some cash to sign a LF with some pop.

Could this be the announment of the Fedor signing we have all hoped for? I can only pray it is. I will say this, if Fedor signs with strikeforce instead, I will lose all respect for him. I will tag him scared and unwilling to put his "name" on the line vs Lesnar or even Couture. I doubt strikeforce can offer as much as UFC money wise and I am sure they cant offer the exposure. If Fedor does sign I would imagine we see a Fedor vs Randy fight first. I believe Lesnar is slated to fight winner of Velasquez vs Carwin.

This is a young team as well. This could be the start of something really special here. We are pretty well stacked offensively. I still believe we need little help on o-line but everywhere else we are deep with young talent. Defensively I like Jerry and LOVE the moore pick. He had a down yr his sr season but as a jr he was awesome. We should be able to fill the last few holes on defense next yr. I am scared that we will lose Mularky this yr. Hopefully we can hold onto him for few more yrs. We have an absolutley brutal schedule but as long as the defense plays better there is no reason we cant at least win 10 games. The tough schedule will help in long run as all this young talent will cut their teeth playing in big games. I for one have never been more excited to be a falcon fan. bring on the season.

WHAT? Outcome was predetermined? Are you serious? Penn would beat GSP? You should be banned from ever talking MMA again. Nothing else I can really say. wow

You lost all credibilty when you said Steve Smith is a great role model. WOW! How many times has he punched a teamate? Then you follow that up with Vick being Falcons best player ever? What? You should be banned.

I keep trying to remind myself that while we are not in full rebuild mode we are rebuilding. we fixed the starting rotation this yr and as long as wren can do the same this offseason to the offense we will be right back on top. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO NOT BRING FRANCOEUR AND KELLY JOHNSON BACK. Francoeur has no idea and only sees 2 pitches per AB. KJ's new uppercut is aweful. The way I see it we need 2OF and a 2nd baseman. I wouldnt be upset if we got a 1st baseman that could at least hit the warning track but I can deal with Kotchman if the rest of the offense is better cause he is awesome defensive player. Does anyone know how long Heyward is from being in Atl? As far as 2nd goes, why not trade Cranizares for a guy at the same level. Has to be a team out there that needs a 1st and has a 2nd to spare.

I just cant see the Braves keeping Hudson and vazquez. You know that Lowe, JJ, Hanson will be 3/5 of the roation next yr. Kawakami signed pretty big deal so he is prolly there. That leaves 1 spot and with our offensive needs either huddy or vazquez would be the obvious choice for trade bait. Dont get me wrong I would love to have them both in there and kawakami out but its just not finacially possible.

I just saw on Rome is burning that Kimbo will be on the next TUF show. I believe Rampage and Evans are the coaches. This is a genious move by Dana. I doubt Kimbo makes it to the finals of the show but it will bring big ratings. Who knows , maybe kimbo has improved and will take advantage of not having to be "the man" in the ufc. I always thought his hype was a joke but as Rome said it is not his fault. Blame the idiots at elitexc for this. Should make for good tv. cant wait to see how he interacts with the other guys in the house.
