Nike drops Armstrong for doping but they are okay with Michael Vick who did kill and abuse dogs..

Score: 167

Ohio State played UCF and UAB. Oklahoma played Florida A&M and UTEP. Oregon played Tenn Tech and Ark St. FSU played Murray St and Savannah St. West VA played Marshall and James Madison. Explain again how the SEC is the only one needing to drop pushovers.

Score: 123

One of the reasons Blank wants a new stadium is to attract a Super Bowl, yet Candlestick Park (built in 1960) and Sun Life Stadium (built in 1987) are finalists for the 2016 Super Bowl??

Score: 113

I am not proud of Armstrong, but do you think he was the only rider who cheated in the biking world? Are they really mad because he cheated better?

Score: 103

Best wishes to Milo Hamilton for a happy retirement after a 59 year career. I can still recall listening to him, Ernie Johnson and Larry Munson when the Braves moved here from Milwaukee in 1966.

Score: 95

How many people care about the Hawks? Can you name the starting five?

Score: 73

I'll give you A-Rod, but if you missed the outrage over Barry Bonds' steroid use, then you clearly weren't paying attention.

Score: 68

Yes, Lance cheated to win and beat the other cheaters. What should be such a great sport is ruined by the lack of control of the participants and everyone else involved with it.

Score: 67

By playing the SEC Championship game, it allows other conferences to play for the title. Without it, 2 SEC teams would play every year. Winning the SEC is actually harder than winning the BCS Championship.

Score: 67

All conferences have enough teams to drop pushovers, yet NONE of them do. The SEC is no different than any other conference. Reference schedules from Ohio State, Oregon, West VA, FSU and Oklahoma if you need confirmation.

Score: 65

Speaking as a grandmother: I say that real football is played on Saturday morning by my 7 year old grandson. He ran two 60 yard touchdowns Saturday!

Score: 63

Any team that can spend the kind of money to buy a championship like the Yankees have done for years could be very successful. No surprise there.

Score: 57

gee, the AJC did not cover the start of girls highschool volleyball championships. They did not cover anything that happened in Tasmania for the same reason.....nobody cares. Sorry, its just the fact.

Score: 27

Wow,........No more Chipper vents...will be missed..

Score: 21

Lance Armstrong is now qualified to apply for one of the "loser" reality shows, where he makes comments about other stupid people on their videos.

Score: 17

Georgia Tech still acts like the kid not picked for kickball.

Score: -3

Georgia State should be good warm up fodder for UGA and Tech. Some of those other little schools do not pay fair. They want to win.

Score: -9

The Braves should take A-Rod off the Yankees hands, with the Yankees paying most of his remaining salary. We could trade them Hanson plus a couple of prospects. A-Rod was a huge Murphy fan. The change would do him good.

Score: -65

2013 Braves starting lineup: LF Prado RF Heyward CF Granderson 1B Freeman 3B A-Rod C McCann 2B Uggla SS Simmons
