The discussion, moderated by radio personality Kenny Burns, focused on the challenges families face in a world increasingly influenced by social media. Usher shared his perspective on parenting and the lessons he has learned along the way.

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (429+ words) An Atlanta Falcons' primetime victory is sweet enough, but the fact it came against a bitter NFC South rival is even sweeter. The Falcons managed to put a massive hole in the Bucs' playoff hopes with their 29-28 victory, and it prompted multiple extreme reactions at Raymond James Stadium. Zane Gonzalez' go-ahead field goal saw Mike Evans leave the field prematurely, but Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles' reaction was far worse. While addressing the postgame media, Bowles went on an expletive-laced postgame rant where he practically threw his entire locker room under the bus. After a last-second loss like this, emotions are always bound to run high, but there has to be some level of rationale behind your thoughts. For as annoying as Raheem Morris' coach-speak was amid the Falcons' losing streak, at least he was never openly or publicly…...

John's question is our question, The post Deserving appeared first on Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. John's commitment to God resulted in his incarceration. There, all alone, in his dank cell, he has a question, "is Jesus the Messiah or should we wait for another?" John's question is our question, is Jesus deserving of our faith, hope and following? Or, is he just one of a zillion enigmatic, charismatic, itinerant wonder workers? Jesus' response is classic Jesus, "tell John what you hear and see: the blind gain sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the poor have good news brought to them." Jesus' response…...

1+ hour, 31+ min ago (431+ words) Onsi Saleh hasn't taken very long to put the Atlanta Hawks back on the map. Prior to taking over basketball operations for the storied franchise earlier this year, Saleh played 2nd fiddle to Atlanta's former GM, Landry Fields. Fields took over as GM for the Hawks halfway through the 2022 season, one year removed from being denied a trip to the NBA Finals by the eventual champions, the Milwaukee Bucks. Fields did little to bolster the supporting squad around Trae Young during the next three years, leading to his inevitable firing a week after the 2024-2025 season finally sputtered to a stop in Atlanta. Saleh learned many lessons from his former boss, most importantly, it appears he learned not to play it safe in an ever-changing league. While Fields opted to be content with what was assumed to be a winning formula from…...

1+ hour, 31+ min ago (572+ words) The Atlanta Falcons made fans sweat in their Week 15 victory over the Bucs, but it was worth it. It might have been sloppy and taken a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback to pull off, but effectively shattering Tampa Bay's playoff hopes on their home turf was the best form of karmic retribution. Through what was a hard-fought spoiler victory for the Dirty Birds, it also marked Kirk Cousins' best start of the season just one week after his worst. The 37-year-old completed 30-of-44 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns, and looked like vintage Cousins against a beat-up Bucs' secondary. Fans have been waiting for the Kirko of old to finally show up this season, but unfortunately it came too late. However, it didn't change how electric his performance truly was, so here are the three biggest takeaways from an absolute masterclass of…...

1+ hour, 48+ min ago (433+ words) It hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows for Raheem Morris' time with the Atlanta Falcons, but Week 15 was one of the highest points he's had as head coach. Through a season on the hot seat that has been full of turmoil, nobody needed to see the Falcons knock off the Bucs more than Morris. Even though playoffs aren't in the picture, it still feels good to play spoiler. The 29-28 victory on Thursday Night Football saw the Dirty Birds come back from 14 points down in the fourth quarter before winning on a walk-off field goal that gave fans a glimpse of what this team still could be. There are still plenty of question marks about whether the 49-year-old will still be coaching in Atlanta next season, but a win like this certainly helps his case. It wasn't always pretty, but like…...

2+ hour, 39+ min ago (434+ words) Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, the Atlanta Falcons wanted to play spoiler to the Buccaneers' playoff hopes. In the upset victory on primetime, the Falcons trailed 28-14 early in the fourth quarter, but they clawed back and a walk-off field goal from Zane Gonzalez saw them prevail. However, the 29-28 victory saw the Dirty Birds be called for a franchise record 19 penalties, which marked the most of any team this season and the most by any NFL team since the Browns back in 2019. And despite the win, it took a sloppy, highly undisciplined road to get there. The offense shined, and it was Zac Robinson's best play-calling of the season, but if it weren't for the penalties, this is a game the Falcons likely win by a much larger margin. But then again, it's hard to find reasons to complain in…...
