River Gracey , Sports writerAs the confetti settled on Dec. 7 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, it became obvious to me what I had just witnessed. It was clear and obvious before the game that the LSU Tigers were the favorite to beat the fourth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. ESPN had the Tigers as a seven-point favorite just when kickoff started. This game, however, wasn’t about either team. This game was dominated by Joe Burrow, who would go on to win the Heisman Trophy. December 16, 2019
River Gracey , Sports writerATLANTA—The Atlanta Falcons’ season has gotten off to another horrid start after they dropped their fifth straight game on Sunday, Oct. 20, this time against against the Los Angeles Rams. The Falcons, who now sit a 1-6, face that reality that their season is all but over after just seven weeks into the regular season. This has become a common trend in the last few years for the Falcons, who have losing season after losing season. What’s even more disappointing, is the forgotten performance of quarterback Matt Ryan. October 22, 2019
