Try Roadie When Sending Game Day Items to Friends or Family
Back in March when everything shut down because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we didn’t know what the future held. During that time, we had all sports cancelled. Truth be told, we never knew how much we missed sports until it was taken away. Eventually, they all came back with the NBA, NHL and MLS playing in a bubble. College football and NFL are in the midst of their season with some players here and there testing positive for Covid-19. Despite all of that, I’m just happy to have football back even though there are limited to no fans allowed. During these times, we miss hanging out with friends watching the…

Should the Atlanta Hawks Sign John Collins to Extension?

5 Big Men Atlanta Hawks Trade Possibilities
The Atlanta Hawks are probably not making the playoffs this season, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make moves. With the trade deadline coming up Thursday, it’s been rumored that the Hawks want a big man. A couple months ago, there were discussions about Andre Drummond.

Georgia Tourism Industry Breaks Visitation Records
Explore Georgia, the state tourism office within the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), joined Governor Kemp and industry professionals from across the state today to recognize a record-breaking year in tourism at the annual Tourism, Hospitality and Arts Day at the Georgia State Capitol.

Andre Drummond Atlanta Hawks: Should Atlanta Make the Trade?
The Atlanta Hawks are headed to another losing season and lottery pick. The Detroit Pistons have underachieved, and Andre Drummond could be on the trading block. As a Hawks fan, we need a big man on the block to command the middle. Drummond is averaging almost 18 points and nearly 16 rebounds a game for Detroit. We heard the reports from yesterday that the Hawks are interested in trading for Andre Drummond. It feels like Drummond been in the league forever, but he’s only 26-years-old. Drummond’s contract is through the 2020-21 season where he’s owed over $28.75 million dollars. The Hawks will have ample amount of money for the…
Take the 2019 Chevy Blazer to See Two Beautiful Atlanta Stadiums
A couple week ago, we had the honor of checking out the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer. Instead, of riding around town or going out of town we visited a couple of places. We used the vehicle to head to the Falcons home opener on Sunday night. Being that I’m an Eagles fan, we didn’t get the results we wanted, but enjoyed my time. This was a time for me to reconnect with one of my cousins. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the more beautiful stadiums you’ll ever see. During our time there, we met a lot of fans from various places and they shared the same sentiments. The atmosphere was…
