Great stuff from Lauren L. Williams, who went to Oklahoma City to track down Trae Young. "I want to win a championship bad. But the fact that it’s in my city and I’m just watching it now, if you thought I wanted it bad before, it’s even worse now.” ajc.com/sports/2025/06…

Per league source, the Hawks are still on the hunt for a President of Basketball Ops. That search has not concluded with the news of the finalization of deals with Bryson Graham and Peter Dinwidde.

Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins repping at Falcons minicamp.

Kirk Cousins at Falcons minicamp responding to a question from ⁦Josh Kendall⁩ about his desire to be a starter in the NFL. “Obviously, you’d love to play, but I’m not going to dwell on things that aren’t reality in terms of that’s not the situation I’m in.”

One dad coached three daughters (including Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney) to six GHSA state championships in two sports, none of them as teammates. A column about a grateful dad and his accomplished daughters. ajc.com/sports/2025/06…

At MBS for Chelsea-LAFC for the Club World Cup. Still hard to believe FIFA approved two goals on each end. Anything to boost scoring.

Braves score two on bases-loaded walks to take 3-1 lead through 5 innings. The end of my column from last night.

I said to Luisangel Acuña that a lot of people are surprised by how well his brother Ronald is playing coming back from his ACL but, given how much better he knows what he's capable of, he probably isn't. "No, I'm surprised as well." ajc.com/sports/2025/06…

Hawks have traded their No. 13 pick to get New Orleans' No. 23 and a first-rounder next year. Smart move, it would appear. I think the Hawks are going to use their No. 23 pick on Rasheer Fleming of St. Joe's. 7-5 wingspan and the all-important upside. ajc.com/sports/2025/06…

Struggles of Atlanta United and Miguel Almirón are real #ATLUTD #MLS ajc.com/sports/2025/07…

Really well-reported story by Doug Roberson on the ineffective return of Miguel Almirón, who is the fourth-highest paid player in MLS but hasn’t had a primary assist since the season opener. Really well explained and detailed.
