Gworgia Tech AD will have more resources at new Michigan State job

5 days ago | ajc.com | Michael Cunningham

What I think about some things I saw over the weekend …J Batt‘s good work as a moneymaking executive in Alabama’s athletic department meant he was going places. He ended up at Georgia Tech. President Ángel Cabrera needed an athletic director who could boost revenue, hire a better football coach and enhance NIL. Batt accomplished all of that over two-plus years at The Flats. Now, he’s moving on.
Scuffling Braves aren’t much better than they were 0-7

1 week ago | ajc.com | Michael Cunningham

No team has started 0-7 team and gone on to make the playoffs. The Braves were candidates to be an exception because they were a good team that was underachieving, not a bad one performing as expected. But it’s past Memorial Day, the traditional time to take stock of the season, and they haven’t been much better since then. After finally getting their record above break-even twice, the Braves (26-30) have lost seven of their past nine games.
Atlanta United finally looks like the team Ronny Deila promised

1 week ago | ajc.com | Michael Cunningham

A week ago, Atlanta United president Garth Lagerwey cited four reasons his club was underachieving on the field. One of them, tactics, is on first-year manager Ronny Deila. Lagerwey told Doug Roberson of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Deila’s job is safe. His reasoning — that the team needs continuity after employing three coaches in three years — wasn’t a ringing endorsement of Deila.
Hawks should go all-in for Giannis, despite risks

ATLANTA - I have always believed NBA teams should go all-in to acquire superstar players in those rare instances when they become available. Send away good players for an all-time great. Sacrifice the potential of future draft picks for the certainty of getting an MVP-level player on the roster now. That’s where I’m at with the possibility the Atlanta Hawks could acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks. He’s reportedly open to being traded.
