11+ min ago (704+ words) Thomas Milic's NHL debut stood as a major milestone in a career built on persistence and steady progression. While the Winnipeg Jets fell 51 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday, the night marked an important milestone: the NHL debut of goaltender Thomas Milic. "I've been prepared since I was called up. I knew a time was going to come when I'd have to get in there, and I did my best to be ready," Milic said of learning he would get his first NHL start. Everybody loves a goalie rookie lap! ?? " NHL (@NHL) November 28, 2025 Milic's parents made the trip from B.C., and his junior billet mom, along with friends and family, were in Raleigh to support him. A Debut to Remember Carolina controlled much of the play, outshooting Winnipeg 3513. Despite the lopsided shot totals, Milic kept the Jets in the game until the…...

45+ min ago (399+ words) Zaccharie Risacher has had a regrettable start to the season. Through his first 15 games of the season, Risacher averaged 11.3 points on 29.2% from deep and 44.2% from the field. Each of these is a regression from his rookie stats. When combined with the strange, unexplained minutes restriction levied on him, Risacher had very few positives to take away. In his past two games, however, Risacher has come alive. Despite getting trounced by the Wizards on Tuesday night, Risacher dropped 17 points on 4/9 from three and 2/3 from two in an overall smooth offensive performance. He also tallied two steals and three blocks against the Wizards, building upon his defensive improvement this season. In the following game against the Cavaliers, Risacher had 14 points on 2/3 from deep and a perfect 3/3 from two. This included the game-winning corner three, where Risacher was contested and off-balance after a…...

47+ min ago (426+ words) Prior to landing back with the Atlanta Falcons, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich spent the last three seasons as the defensive coordinator of the New York Jets. But when Gang Green fired Robert Saleh midseason, Ulbrich took over as interim head coach, leading the Jets to a 3-9 record at the helm. This weekend, Ulbrich will face the Jets for the first time since joining Raheem Morris' staff as the Dirty Birds will travel to East Rutherford on Sunday. And before making his return to MetLife Stadium, the 48-year-old coach admitted he didn't think the New York offense was that different from Week 10. The only notable difference Ulbrich said he saw from the Jets with Tyrod Taylor starting was the lack of designed quarterback runs like the team dialed up for Justin Fields. But the pressure that the Atlanta defense provides should…...

53+ min ago (392+ words) With the offseason still young, Bleacher Report attempted to take a stab at all 30 MLB teams' Opening Day lineup. While the Atlanta Braves have far less to do, with almost every slot in the lineup being filled thanks to long-term extensions, Bleacher Report still doesn't nail the Braves projections. While we don't know new manager Walt Weiss's lineup construction tendencies just yet even though he was previously on the coaching staff, it would not be shocking to see a familiar face return to leadoff. Bleacher Report's projected lineup for Atlanta has Jurickson Profar leading off, as he did for the majority of the second half, but with Ronald Acu'a Jr. having more time for his knee to heal, there's a good chance he'll be up to steal more bases than he did in 2025. It would not be shocking if the…...

1+ hour, 46+ min ago (200+ words) The Atlanta Falcons have been tough to watch at times this season; however, that hasn't stopped their pass rush from being among the NFL's best in 2025. The Falcons entered Sunday's clash with the New York Jets ranked third in the league in sacks with 39.0 on the season behind the standout Denver Broncos (49.0) and the Cleveland Browns' pass rush (42.0). It's safe to say that Atlanta has gone from one of the league's absolute worst units to a group capable of haunting any quarterback, and that shouldn't fly under the radar anymore. As a result, the Falcons own the 12th-best pass rush grade (74.3) on Pro Football Focus. For comparison, they finished tied for 30th with a mark of 59.0 last season, highlighting just how monumental the turnaround has been. Still, the future is brighter when you consider the improved pass rush and the talent…...

1+ hour, 47+ min ago (1535+ words) For generations, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has marked the rhythms of this city with ink, paper and the familiar thump of the morning delivery. On Dec. 31, that ritual comes to an end. The newspaper that chronicled the civil rights movement, tracked every high and low of Atlanta sports, and introduced countless readers to the wider world, will publish its final print edition as the AJC shifts fully into its digital future....

1+ hour, 47+ min ago (1219+ words) The old warehouse strip reborn as the Lee + White development is a popular destination for anyone seeking a bite or a beverage on the Atlanta Beltline's Westside Trail. But steps from the breweries and eateries inhabiting much of the space, serious science is taking place. In an industrial space at the complex's north end, engineers in blue lab coats huddle over circuit boards. Scientists test how certain films and other materials respond to pressure, heat and more. And in a machine shop off the main lab, a computer-controlled machine mills custom components from raw metal. The space is a hive of activity, one that exudes the spirit of experimentation embodied by its founder, the legendary inventor Lonnie Johnson. Johnson isn't a household name like Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. You'll be hard-pressed, however, to find a child of the…...

2+ hour, 20+ min ago (159+ words) The Atlanta Falcons might have to reconsider head coach Raheem Morris' spot with the team if they fall to the New York Jets on Sunday. All of this adds up to the fact that Morris doesn't appear to be the needed leadership that the Falcons are currently missing. If Atlanta loses against a clearly tanking Jets team, there is no longer a reason to dance around the fact that it is time to fire Morris. The Falcons were far too patient with former head coach Arthur Smith and cannot afford the same approach with Morris. This is a business that is defined by winning, something the Falcons haven't done with any level of consistency since the 2017 season. A year that would signal the end of the Matt Ryan era as fans knew it, with the team continually regressing until Ryan's…...

2+ hour, 47+ min ago (146+ words) Your boy Scott finished Seinfeld recently. If you're younger, it will look dated and you have definitely seen pieces of the show stolen or expanded elsewhere. Think of it as a prequel to Curb Your Enthusiasm. I watched The Sympathizer recently. This really was outstanding and compelling. Every episode was like its own movie. And Robert Downey Jr. is ridiculously good in this. But enough words from me. What are we watching/ can I watch next, with bonus points if it's on HBO Max because I'm about to give it up. Yes, I've seen The Sopranos. The last time I remember doing on Black Friday, DVD players were still a thing. This was a difficult year for the Atlanta Braves - and for others - but there are still many reasons to be thankful. The fuuutuuuuure (insert spooky noises) The holiday week…...

3+ hour, 47+ min ago (486+ words) The Atlanta Falcons are 4-7 entering Week 13 and are in absolute shambles. Coming off an embarrassing five-game losing streak, it's now or never for the Falcons to jump back into the NFC South race after the streak was snapped against the Saints in Week 12. After the dust settled on the road with a 24-10 win over their bitter NFC South rivals last weekend, we had an opportunity to see who deserves more and less playing time across Atlanta's final six games of the season. As the Dirty Birds travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Jets later today, these four players earned a longer leash in Week 13. The second-year Falcon has come out of nowhere to lead a strong Atlanta pass-rush in sacks. Although his production has skyrocketed, his snap percentage hasn't. For some reason, Dorlus still played only…...
