31+ min ago (292+ words) by Rev. Dorothy Boulware Pastors are leading the call for a halt in holiday shopping to show that Black America won't invest in businesses that don't invest in us. Community and faith leaders across the country have banded together to extend the economic blackout. Black people and people who love justice are asked to withhold their dollars to allow the economy to feel the power citizens wield with their dollars. RELATED:If You're Gonna Shop, Make it Black-Owned Having had an impact on Target with the ongoing boycott that began in the Spring, people are encouraged to keep it going with the hope that Target might revert back and keep its original commitment of $2 billion to Black businesses. At the inception of the Target Fast in April, Dr. Jamal Bryant, senior pastor of New Birth Baptist Church in Atlanta and…...

40+ min ago (159+ words) The 2026 Braves team ZIPs projections came out on Monday. Last year's starters plus Mauricio Dubon are below. But the numbers on Jurickson Profar and Michael Harris are curious. The model is very bullish on Harris again, just not as high as the 6+ number of last year. And the Profar number at 1.4 seems low. I want to believe Harris has a phenomenal year in 2026. And yes, Profar defends left field like a geriatric patient in concrete boots. But I think both land closer to 2 WAR next season. So will Jurickson Profar have a better year than Michael Harris? Eh, man's entitled to his opinion. It did happen last year. Another day closer to the Winter Meetings The Winter Meetings are coming. How should the Braves go about their business during the busiest part of the offseason? I wonder how many people…...

Every day across the country, people renew or apply for driver"s licenses.

1+ hour, 13+ min ago (416+ words) For the first time since MLB instituted the Draft Lottery, Atlanta Braves fans have a reason to pay attention. After finishing with the ninth-worst record, the Braves have a 4.54% chance to grab the first pick in the 2026 draft. With the lottery approaching, we thought it would be worth reviewing where the team stands. Even if the Braves don't beat the odds at the first pick, however, the Draft Lottery should still be of interest to fans, as it will determine not only where the Braves pick with their first overall pick, but also the compensation pick they earned thanks to Drake Baldwin's Rookie of the Year win. Thanks to those these exclusions, the Braves' overall odds move to the sixth-best in MLB, rising from a 2.7% chance at the top pick to 4.54% odds. Of course, this mark is far lower than…...

1+ hour, 40+ min ago (461+ words) The Atlanta Falcons are in shambles entering Week 14, and hosting the red-hot Seahawks doesn't help. This game feels like a complete mismatch, but anything can happen in the NFL. So in order to keep their playoff hopes and Raheem Morris' future intact, the Dirty Birds must key in on certain matchups. The matchup in the trenches may be the biggest of them all on Sunday. The Seahawks allow the second-fewest sacks per game, and the Falcons are third in the NFL sacks per game. Diving deeper, first-round rookie James Pearce Jr has been on a tear, logging 4.5 sacks across his last four games. His rookie counterpart, Jalon Walker has turned in a strong campaign as well. The Georgia product has four sacks through his last five games and was just named the starting edge rusher opposite his fellow rookie standout....

1+ hour, 40+ min ago (578+ words) Atlanta can play spoiler, but they're all but out of the playoff hunt regardless. I think we can officially call this season off the rails. The Falcons are going nowhere and even the goodwill they got from their victory in New Orleans has now evaporated with a defeat against the lowly New York Jets just a week later. There's really no other way to put it other than that this season has been an unmitigated disaster relative to the expectations in place coming into it. Raheem Morris' tenure with the team has been that of complete failure every step of the way, and the Falcons are essentially now a dead team walking. Here is the scenario the Falcons face if they beat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14, as well as if they lose. They will stave off mathematical elimination from…...
