1+ min ago (230+ words) DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. (Atlanta News First) " A fire ripped through a DeKalb County man's childhood home early Thanksgiving morning, forcing him into the cold as flames consumed the structure. The fire broke out before 1 a.m. at a home on Glenhaven Drive off Covington Highway in DeKalb County. No injuries were reported. Homeowner Geoff King said he heard a popping noise in the basement, which leads to the garage where he stores a classic car. When he opened the door to the basement, the car was on fire. King raced to get the car out of the attached garage, but it was too late. "I ran outside and tried to open up the garage door. I guess I thought I could start it up and move it, but the car was gone," King said. "The whole thing was engulfed when I opened…...

24+ min ago (412+ words) Michael Penix Jr. officially had his ACL surgery on Tuesday, which means that the clock is ticking for the Atlanta Falcons to determine his availability for 2026. Originally, the expectation was that the recovery time would take nine months, meaning the 25-year-old is firmly in line to return in August. However, an August return would be the best case scenario. Despite Raheem Morris saying that the surgery went well, a premature return would do more harm than good. With this being Penix's third ACL tear since college, the Dirty Birds would be better served not rushing him back out there. This means that Penix will more than likely miss most (if not all) of training camp while his absence could extend into the early parts of the 2026 season. But Facons' beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter discussed with a surgeon, who told him…...

24+ min ago (589+ words) Dyson Daniels experienced a real breakout last season, quickly becoming a vital part of Atlanta's starting lineup. His ability to handle the ball and facilitate while being one of the best defensive players in the world has aided in giving the Hawks a new, respectable identity. The start to his second season in Atlanta, however, has been less than ideal. This does not mean he has been bad, though. His defensive abilities are still among the best in the league and he has given the Hawks some much-needed playmaking during the prolonged absence of Trae Young. The aspect of his game that has been most disappointing this year has been his ability to put the ball in the basket. As a scorer, it appears that Daniels has taken a bit of a step back. This has handicapped Atlanta in late-game…...

24+ min ago (1963+ words) This was a difficult year for the Atlanta Braves - and for others - but there are still many reasons to be thankful. It is a beautiful, late autumn morning as I sip a cup of coffee and watch the lingering, golden yellow leaves of a maple tree fall gently to the ground. The smell of banana bread completing its final minutes of baking wafts through the air. For this, I am thankful. This is the fifth consecutive year that I've been fortunate enough to publish this editorial here at Battery Power. It has been a tradition of mine for well-over two decades as an ode to the late AJC columnist Furman Bisher. For this, too, I am grateful. The 2025 season for the Atlanta Braves was maybe the most disappointing, based on preseason expectations, since the team moved to Atlanta in 1966. At…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (471+ words) The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 12 sitting at 3-7 and amid a five-game losing streak, but the streak was finally snapped on Sunday afternoon. Despite having no Michael Penix Jr. or Drake London in New Orleans, the Falcons toppled the New Orleans Saints 24-10 as Kirk Cousins shined in the victory. Another season-ending injury already has doubt setting in regarding Penix's long-term future in Atlanta, but the success of his backup is only muddying the waters. Against the Saints, Cousins spent the majority of the game lining up under center, while the 25-year-old has mostly been playing out of the pistol this season. Fans chalked the change up to the transition from a rookie to a veteran, but it's still puzzling to consider where this play-calling was from Zac Robinson when Penix was still healthy. But regardless, the fact it took this long…...
