Bobby Cox and Ted Turner both in a week. Both at least partially responsible for endless entertainment for a kid growing up on the @Braves and WTBS. Thank you and RIP.
ALT We are overcome with emotion on the passing of Bobby Cox, our treasured skipper. Bobby was the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform. He led our team to 14 straight division titles, five National League pennants, and the unforgettable World Series title in 1995. His Braves managerial legacy will never be matched.
Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him. His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sport’s ultimate prize in 2014 - enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
And while Bobby's passion for the game was unparalleled, his love of baseball was exceeded only by his love for his family. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we send our sincerest condolences to his beloved wife, Pam, and their loving children and grandchildren.
Listen up, San Antonio!! Keldon here. Since it’s almost playoff time, I wrote y’all a little something from the heart just to say what this means to me. Thanks for all the love!! theplayerstribune.com/keldon…
The playoffs will be exclusive to national TV for the first time ever which leaves home team announcers unable to televise the first round 📺
Agree with Mike Breen?
New column: Michael Malone is the new @UNC_Basketball coach, coming full circle after once writing blind letters to Dean Smith hoping for a job offer. And now Malone arrives with credentials lauded by numerous Tar Heel pro alums.

Championship on Roy’s bench, ended the war against Duke, retired Coach K (twice).
Right time to move on, but he shall dine in the halls of Valhalla (Lenoir) forever.
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
