Tuesday Scenic City Sports Update

How 'bout them Cowboys? This team feels special - Super Bowl special.

UPDATE!!!

Tennessee Vols

Lots of interesting news here, including CBS's possible decision to televise Florida/Kentucky instead of Tennessee/Alabama. If that happens, the Bama game will be the Lincoln Financial game, but not nationally televised. As much as I would love to see the game on CBS, I have a feeling they are going to pick Florida/Kentucky. Two Heisman candidates, upstart Kentucky...I think that is what I would pick.

Other news in the article - Brent Vinson looks to be okay after getting hurt defending the touchdown on Saturday. Fulmer also discussed the spread punt formation they used against Georgia.

Last news bit - Tennessee is back in the rankings at #25, one behind Georgia. Explain that to me.

Next game - Saturday at Mississippi State 2:30 p.m.

Tennessee Titans

Coach Jeff Fisher talks injuries, penalties and laying off Vince Young for one bad game in his Monday press conference. The best part of the conference was Fisher's explanation of the Haynesworth play - they studied enough film to know Atlanta would try to cut low on the goal line, so Haynesworth went high to avoid it. Awesome play.

Next game - Sunday at Tampa Bay Bucs 1:00 p.m.

Atlanta Falcons

From bad to worse this season as left tackle Wayne Gandy is out for the year.

Next game - Monday, October 15th at NY Giants 8:30 p.m.

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks opened the pre-season with a win over the Orlando Magic. Blue uniforms, too. Weird.

Next game - Wednesday at Miami Heat 7:30 p.m.

Atlanta Braves

Lots of speculation on the Braves' future, including ideas about Glavine, Hampton and the centerfield position. I had no idea that Willie Harris hit that poorly down the stretch. I like the idea of using Harris instead of signing someone like Mike Cameron, but I suspect the Braves will sign a bridge veteran before Jordan Schafer arrives. As for Glavine, I hope the Braves don't overpay for him, but I'm coming around to the idea.
