Due to an in-house promotion, I will be moving from Winston-Salem to Atlanta this summer. Yep, the home of Matt Ryan and the Falc*nts.

Any advice for a dedicated Huddle reader and intermittent poster headed south? Anyone already down there know how many games I can expect to get per year? I'd imagine all the Fox Sunday broadcasts will be for the Falcons so probable not more than 3 or 4 a year unless I throw down for Sunday ticket.

This also means I'll be at every Panthers-Falcons game down there raising hell, I'd love to see some of you there

I have lived in Marietta for three years, and like the area. Make sure you stay in east cobb if you are going to live in the area though. We have a nice group of fans that live here as well. We all go go the derby in sandy springs/roswell every week during the season.

I moved to the Atlanta area three years ago from Greensboro. I was in Alpharetta for the first two years (close to work) but got a new job and moved down to Midtown to be a block from my new work. Everybody likes different areas and there are good arguments for most. It all depends on what you're looking for. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the area or where to watch games.

As for TV coverage you won't get much - just the Monday and Sunday night games, and of course those played against Atlanta. We'll also usually get the game during Atlanta's bye week. But then again, I don't know anyone that stays in to watch games - there's so many good sports bars to choose from that everyone I know goes out on Sundays.

You'll see a bunch of band wagon Falcons fans. Last year I hardly saw ANY Falcons-wear until about midseason when people figured out they would actually be decent. But yeah, mostly very uneducated about their team and as a Panthers fan I can name more of the Falcons roster than the typical "fan". Actually, most people could care less about the Falcons as they are big into the Braves and Bulldogs and to some extent the Yellow Jackets.

I'm about an hour outside of Atalnta, but this is what I see from the burbs north of the city.

I can actually get Fox out of Chattanooga as well, but they tend to play the Falcons too unless there's a better rated match-up on.

Oh yeah, can't WAIT to get back to the Carolinas. Hopefully a promotion will be coming soon. *fingers crossed*

Weird. When I lived in Marietta, in the early '80s. In the two years, I don't think I saw one falcons fan. That was a down time for the team, but still...

I was there in the mid '80s. The same was true for the Braves. We could decide to go to a baseball game a couple of hours before the game, drive down and have behind the plate seats with no problem. Seems Atlanta is not really sports oriented...

We're looking in the Symrna and Marietta areas, everything in the city limits is way too close together. I'll take the extra commute to be able to have a yard for my dog

Symrna's not bad, I liked Marietta better. Roswell is nice as well, Sandy Springs is cool in town but expensive. Buckhead is great, but even moreso. Just say North and Northwest and you'll be happy, except for having to watch Falcons games...

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
