ATLANTA — Atlanta is no stranger to Deion Sanders, and this September, “Coach Prime” is bringing his Colorado Buffaloes back to the city where he built part of his legendary career.
The Colorado Buffaloes will open the 2026 college football season on the road against Georgia Tech on Thursday, Sept. 3, at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The nationally televised ESPN matchup marks Colorado’s first trip to Atlanta and gives local fans a prime opportunity to see one of the sport’s most charismatic coaches and his high-profile program up close.
Colorado Buffaloes: Atlanta Game Opener Vs. Georgia Tech
Sanders, who played five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons (1989-1993) and also suited up for the Braves from 1991-94, has deep roots in the city. During Big 12 Media Days this week, he reflected on the special connection while keeping the focus on his current team.
“Let’s think about going to Atlanta and handling our business on Thursday night and in front of the whole world, and then that being our stage,” Sanders said. He later joked on ESPN about putting coaches — not players — on curfew for the trip.
For Georgia Tech, the game represents a chance to spoil the hype surrounding Colorado and start the season strong under new expectations. The Yellow Jackets will host a Buffaloes squad looking to bounce back from a 3-8 campaign in 2025 that featured several narrow losses.
Several Colorado players have local ties, including quarterback JuJu Lewis, a standout from Carrollton High School roughly an hour outside Atlanta. Lewis called the opportunity “a blessing” and emphasized the importance of starting the year on a high note.
“I think every game’s important for us, and Georgia Tech’s just the first team on the block, so I think just go out there and get ready to dominate,” Lewis said.
Sanders, now in his fourth year leading Colorado, spoke about his growth as a coach, stressing patience and adapting to the evolving landscape of college athletics.
“As a coach, patience,” he said. “It’s taught me tremendous patience… You got to go forward and welcome and invite some of the new school ways and adapt to them.”
Senior safety Ben Finneseth highlighted the team’s mindset heading into the season, saying the Buffaloes are determined to close out close games after falling short in several last year.
The Thursday night spotlight in Atlanta adds extra intrigue. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (subject to confirmation), with the game expected to draw significant national attention.
For Atlanta sports fans, it’s a rare early-season visit from a program that has dominated headlines in recent years. Whether you’re pulling for the hometown Yellow Jackets or curious to see Coach Prime in action on familiar turf, Bobby Dodd Stadium should be buzzing on Sept. 3.
Stay tuned to Atlanta Local Sports for more updates, ticket information, and coverage as the 2026 college football season approaches.

As the second weekend of July 2026 arrives, Atlanta is gearing up for one of its sweetest annual traditions: PeachFest 2026, one of the best Atlanta festivals you can attend.
Now in its 12th year, the city’s signature summer tasting event transforms downtown into a vibrant homage to Georgia peaches on Sunday, July 12. This year, it moves to the historic Underground Atlanta (50 Upper Alabama St. SW), promising an immersive, all-inclusive culinary experience unlike any before.
What to Expect at PeachFest 2026
PeachFest isn’t your average food festival. Attendees will stroll through a live peach orchard—courtesy of Pearson Farm, which is trucking in fruit-bearing trees from Fort Valley, Georgia, right inside Underground Atlanta. Read why Georgia is called the Peach State.
The venue will feature over 50 celebrated chefs and bartenders serving peach-forward dishes and cocktails, from savory creations like peach pasta to sweet treats and innovative pies. Expect live fire cooking, pop-ups, and the buzz of Atlanta’s top culinary talent.
Highlights include:
- The Peach Pit Invitational: 20 of Atlanta’s best bartenders compete for a $1,000 cash prize with original peach cocktails made using Pearson Farm peaches (no added sugar). Guests get to sip every entry and weigh in, with celebrity judges crowning the winner. Presented by Código 1530 Tequila.
- Fireside Chats: Intimate conversations on Georgia peach farming (30 seasons with Pearson Farm), “The New South” in Atlanta’s culinary scene with Christan Willis, and a live chef demo/book signing with Monti Carlo, Hector Santiago, and Julio Delgado of Spanglish Cocina (making its Atlanta debut).
- Live Music, Photo Ops, and More: All-inclusive tastings, craft pours, and a community vibe with no stages or barriers—everyone mingles among the chefs.
The event runs from 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM (VIP early entry at 3 PM). It aligns perfectly with heightened downtown energy during World Cup week, offering a chance to explore Underground Atlanta’s revitalized spaces.
Ticket Options and Details
- VIP Access ($130): Early entry at 3 PM, first dibs on stations, plus exclusive perks like photo ops and priority access.
- General Admission ($95): Doors open at 4 PM; full access to all tastings, cocktails, chats, and the orchard.
Tickets are available at peachfest.org. Supplies are limited, especially for VIP, so grab yours soon.
A Festival with Heart
Beyond the bites, PeachFest supports local agriculture and gives back. A silent auction benefits CURE Childhood Cancer (Atlanta-founded research organization) and Piggy Bank’s Farm (disaster relief and seed support for Southern farmers). It’s a delicious way to celebrate sustainability, community, and Georgia’s peach heritage.
Whether you’re a foodie hunting for the next big flavor, a cocktail enthusiast ready to judge the best peach sip in town, or just looking for a fun summer afternoon with friends, PeachFest 2026 delivers. Atlanta’s downtown will smell like ripe peaches, and the energy will be electric.
Mark your calendar: Sunday, July 12, at Underground Atlanta. Bring your appetite—and maybe a designated driver for all those peach cocktails. Follow @atlpeachfest on Instagram for updates, chef announcements, and more.
This is one peach of an event you won’t want to miss.

HART COUNTY, Ga. — A northeast Georgia traffic stop has led to the arrest of Atlanta-area resident and wife of radio personality Big Tigger, Alicia Brown, on serious out-of-state charges connected to the 2019 disappearance of her daughter.
According to the Hart County Sheriff’s Office, deputies pulled over Brown on Interstate 85 Tuesday and took her into custody on outstanding Maryland kidnapping warrants. Authorities say the warrants stem from the disappearance of her daughter several years ago.
Big Tigger’s Wife Arrested on Maryland Kidnapping Warrants
Brown also faces a new felony charge of interference with child custody in Georgia. Officials indicate she is expected to be extradited to Maryland to face the original warrants.
The Hart County Sheriff’s Office has released her mugshot.
The arrest comes amid heightened public attention surrounding Brown’s personal life. Leaked videos circulating online appear to show a physical altercation between Brown and her estranged partner, Atlanta radio personality Big Tigger (Darian Morgan), involving a dispute over his phone during their ongoing separation.
Big Tigger, a longtime figure in Atlanta’s entertainment and media scene known for his work on V-103 and other platforms, has not publicly commented on the leaked footage or the arrest as of Wednesday morning.
Background on the Maryland Case
Maryland authorities have sought Brown in connection with her daughter’s 2019 disappearance. Details of the original case remain limited in Georgia records, but the active kidnapping warrants prompted the multi-state effort that ended in her detention on I-85 in Hart County, roughly 90 minutes northeast of Atlanta.
Hart County Sheriff’s Office deputies acted swiftly once the outstanding warrants were confirmed during the routine traffic stop. Brown was processed locally before being held pending extradition proceedings.
Local Ties Draw Attention
The case has drawn significant interest in Atlanta due to Brown’s connection to Big Tigger, a familiar voice to many in the city’s radio audience. The timing of the arrest with the emergence of the alleged altercation videos has fueled social media discussion, though law enforcement has not linked the two matters directly.
No additional charges related to the videos have been announced. Hart County officials say their role was limited to the traffic stop and warrant service.
This story is developing. Atlanta News will continue to follow the extradition process and any updates from Maryland authorities regarding the 2019 disappearance case.

A video allegedly depicting radio personality Big Tigger (Darian Morgan) in a physical confrontation with his wife, Alicia Brown, has gone viral on social media, adding fresh fuel to an ongoing domestic dispute that led to his arrest last month.
The clip, shared widely on social media, shows a bald man with tattoos and glasses (identified as Big Tigger) interacting physically with a woman on the floor of a room cluttered with scattered clothing, shopping bags (including Fashion Nova and Target items), and household items.
Disturbing Leaked Video Shows Big Tigger in Physical Struggle with Wife Alicia Brown Over Cell Phone
The Big Tigger footage appears to capture a tense struggle, with the man bending over or grappling with the woman as she lies on the ground. Context from reports and social media indicates the altercation centers on her holding onto his cell phone, which he is trying to retrieve.
Background on the Couple and the May 9 Incident
Big Tigger, known for hosting The Big Tigger Morning Show in Atlanta and his past role as a BET Rap City host, has been married to Alicia Brown. The couple has at least one young son.
According to police reports and Alicia Brown’s statements to authorities, the dispute began on May 9, 2026, at their home in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It allegedly started over text messages on Big Tigger’s phone (reportedly involving a female co-worker). Tensions escalated when he allegedly called her “psycho” and began recording her. She reportedly grabbed the phone; he allegedly tackled her to the floor, causing a minor bruise to her lower lip.
She then went downstairs, where the confrontation continued. Brown claims he restrained her, and in the process of pushing or moving her, she stumbled headfirst into a door, sustaining a deep cut above her left eye.
The incident occurred in the presence of their child, leading to the additional charge of third-degree cruelty to children.
Arrest, Charges, and Prior Footage
Big Tigger was arrested on or around June 23–26, 2026, on charges of aggravated battery and third-degree cruelty to children. He was released after posting a $10,000 bond. A protective order was later granted, requiring him to stay away from Brown and the children.
Earlier in late June, TMZ obtained and published Ring camera/security footage from inside the home. In that clip, Brown is heard telling someone to “take a picture.”
Big Tigger approaches, grabs her by the neck and tells her to stop, then grabs her arms as they struggle while she yells “Get off of me!” They move out of frame behind a door, followed by a loud noise and sounds consistent with crying.
The New Leaked Video and Public Reaction
The newly circulating video shared this week appears to be phone-recorded footage of the struggle over the cell phone. It has sparked intense online debate.
Some viewers and commentators argue it does not show intentional assault but rather Big Tigger attempting to retrieve his personal property (the phone) from his wife, who is refusing to return it. Others point to the physical nature of the interaction as consistent with the allegations of battery.
Social media reactions have been polarized. Supporters of Big Tigger emphasize context (property retrieval, prior behavior by Brown) and question the “assault” framing. Critics view the footage as evidence supporting the domestic violence claims. Some posts highlight broader discussions about domestic disputes, accountability, and how videos can lack full context.
Big Tigger has publicly denied the allegations, stating they are false and asking for privacy and grace for his family as they navigate the situation. Reports indicate he has stepped away from his radio show amid the legal proceedings. Alicia Brown has shared messages about “false narratives” in some updates and, in one statement, clarified she has never called her husband an abuser.
Meanwhile, Big Tigger’s co-host has filed a defamation lawsuit against his wife.
Current Status
The legal case remains ongoing. Big Tigger faces the pending charges, and the protective order is in effect. No trial date has been widely reported as of early July 2026. Both the Ring camera footage and the newer leaked video are part of the public discourse but have not been fully litigated in court.
Videos like these often go viral quickly in high-profile cases, but they represent only one angle of complex personal disputes. As with any ongoing legal matter, Big Tigger is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Big Tigger has stepped away from his radio show as legal matters run their course.
This incident highlights the challenges of domestic disputes in the public eye, especially when involving media personalities, and continues to generate discussion across social platforms.

Atlanta Falcons fans have double the reason to celebrate this summer. Star wide receiver Drake London secured his future with the team through a blockbuster contract extension in early June — and just days ago, he made things official with longtime girlfriend Sofia Gabay by getting engaged in a breathtaking proposal.
The Business Move: A Record-Setting Extension, Then Drake London Gets Engaged
On June 2, 2026, the Falcons and London agreed to terms on a four-year, $141 million contract extension (worth up to $150 million) that includes $100 million guaranteed.
The deal runs through the 2030 season and makes London the third-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL by annual average value. It also sets a new franchise record for the highest average annual salary for a Falcons player at his position.
This extension came after London’s continued growth as one of the league’s most dynamic young receivers. The former USC standout has become a cornerstone of the Falcons’ offense alongside quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and running back Bijan Robinson.
Sofia Gabay publicly beamed with pride when the deal was announced, sharing moments of excitement as her boyfriend signed his second contract with Atlanta.
The Personal Milestone: A Romantic Proposal on July 2
Just one month later, London took things to the next level off the field. On July 2, 2026 — which also marked a special date for the couple — London got down on one knee and proposed to Sofia Gabay in a stunning, intimate setting in Los Angeles.28
The couple shared beautiful photos on Instagram showing the romantic moment: London in a sharp black jacket kneeling before Gabay under an elegant floral arch with a sparkling chandelier at sunset, overlooking scenic hills. The setup was pure elegance — white roses, candlelight, and a picture-perfect backdrop for what looks like a fairytale proposal.
Sofia, a USC cinema graduate, model, and influencer with a strong following, has been a constant supportive presence in London’s life since they began dating in 2023. She’s frequently spotted at games in custom Falcons gear, cheering loudly and sharing behind-the-scenes moments with fans.
A Perfect Summer for #RiseUp
Falcons fans and the broader NFL community have flooded social media with congratulations. The timing couldn’t be better — London is entering what many expect to be a true breakout chapter, now locked in long-term with the team he’s called home since being drafted in 2022.
From locking down a franchise-record extension to proposing to the woman who’s been by his side through it all, Drake London is having the summer of his life.
Congratulations to Drake and Sofia! Here’s to many more wins — both on the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and off it.
Rise Up, Atlanta!

Open Mics & More: Best Spoken Word Venues In Atlanta

How to Fully Savor a Spoken Word Night in the City
Here’s your local’s guide to enjoying a spoken word performance the right way — whether it’s your first time at Apache Café, the Thursday night open mic at Kat’s Café in Midtown, or a feature show at the historic Wren’s Nest.
- Get there early, but not too early
Doors usually say 7:30 p.m., real ones show up around 8:15. That’s when the host is still playing trap-soul remixes and you can snag a good seat — close enough to see the poet’s hands tremble (or not tremble), far enough back that you don’t feel pressured when they ask, “Can I get a snap if you feel this?” - Order something strong, something sweet, or both
A rum punch from the bar at Vibes Night Lounge hits different when the poet is talking about their grandmother’s hands. A slice of red velvet from Kat’s Café tastes like forgiveness when someone on stage is finally forgiving themselves. - Learn the etiquette before you embarrass your mama
- Snaps over claps. Save the loud applause for the very end.
- No talking during the poem. That’s sacred time. Save your “Ooooh, she clocked him!” commentary for the break.
- If the poet says “This is for Black women in the room,” and you’re not a Black woman, your job is to listen twice as hard and clap twice as loud when it’s over.
- Let the poem hit you in the body, not just the head
The best pieces will make your shoulders tense up, your eyes water, or your foot start patting without permission. That’s normal. That’s the point. One night at Buteco in Grant Park, a poet named Truth killed the room into silence with a piece about his father’s last voicemail. You could hear ice melting in glasses. That’s Atlanta spoken word at its finest. - Stay for the open mic — that’s where the magic hides
The featured poet is great, but the 19-year-old who just worked up the nerve to read their first poem about heartbreak on the Red Line MARTA? That’s the one you’ll quote to your friends tomorrow. - Tip the poets if there’s a bucket
Most of these artists drove in from College Park, East Point, or Decatur on hope and a half-tank of gas. Five dollars feels like respect. - Take something home
Buy the chapbook, the $10 CD, the sticker. Ask the poet to sign it. Ten years from now, you’ll pull it off your shelf and remember the night the room held its breath together.
Atlanta’s spoken word scene isn’t just entertainment — it’s church, therapy, protest, and family reunion all rolled into one. Come as you are. Leave different.
Next spots to catch a vibe this week:
- Wednesday: “Lyricism & Libations” at Joystick Gamebar (Edgewood)
- Thursday: Kat’s Café Open Mic (Midtown)
- Friday: “Unbound” featuring Jon Goode at Riverside Epicenter (Roswell)
See you in the cypher, family. Bring your heart. Leave your phone on silent.
Final Word
No matter if you want to catch a comedy club, go out for a night of cocktails and hookah, or go to the club, Atlanta has it all. And if you want to eat in a special place, Atlanta new restaurants continue to pop up every week!

Before diving into job searches, take stock of your expertise to align with Atlanta’s most lucrative sectors. The city’s tech ecosystem, fueled by hubs like Midtown Atlanta and the growing fintech scene, dominates remote opportunities.
- Identify your strengths: Review your resume for transferable skills like coding, data analysis, project management, or sales. Tools like LinkedIn’s skills assessment or free platforms such as Coursera can help pinpoint gaps—consider quick certifications in high-demand areas like AI or cloud computing.
- Focus on top industries: Prioritize tech (e.g., software development, data science), finance (e.g., financial analysts), healthcare (e.g., telehealth coordinators), and marketing/ecommerce (e.g., digital strategists). These fields boast the highest remote salaries in Atlanta, with data scientists averaging $104,000 and cloud security architects up to $130,000. Avoid oversaturated entry-level fields like general customer service, which cap below $50,000.
Action item: Create a target list of 5-10 roles based on your skills. Use salary aggregators like Glassdoor to benchmark expectations—remote tech jobs here can hit $131 per hour for senior positions.
Step 2: Leverage Specialized Job Search Platforms
Atlanta’s remote job market is accessible through targeted online searches, where filters for location, remote status, and salary can yield premium listings.
- Set up alerts on key sites: Start with Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn. Search queries like “remote software engineer Atlanta GA $100k+” and enable daily email notifications. ZipRecruiter, for instance, lists over 1,000 remote roles in Atlanta paying $19-$69 per hour, equating to $40,000-$140,000 annually.
- Refine your searches: Use advanced filters—select “Remote” under work type, “Atlanta, GA” for location (even for fully remote roles, as many companies prioritize local talent), and salary minimums of $80,000+. Browse company career pages for hidden gems; for example, Protective offers remote roles at $122,000-$165,000 with full benefits.
- Explore niche boards: Check Built In Atlanta for tech-specific remote jobs or FlexJobs for vetted work-from-home listings (subscription-based but ad-free).
Action item: Apply to 5-10 jobs per week. Track applications in a spreadsheet, noting salary estimates and follow-up dates. Current hot listings include AI prompt creators at $45,000-$55,000 (entry-friendly) and senior engineering roles at Liberty Mutual up to $197,000.Step
3: Network and Build Your Professional Presence
In Atlanta’s interconnected business community, who you know can unlock doors to unadvertised high-salary remote positions.
- Optimize LinkedIn: Update your LinkedIn profile with keywords like “Atlanta remote tech professional” and a banner highlighting your remote-ready setup (e.g., “Seeking $100K+ WFH Opportunities in Fintech”). Connect with 10-20 Atlanta-based recruiters weekly—search for “remote hiring manager Atlanta” and send personalized messages.
- Join communities: Engage in local virtual groups like Atlanta Tech Village’s Slack channels or Reddit’s r/AtlantaJobs. Attend free webinars from Emory’s tech bootcamps, which often feature alumni networks in high-paying roles. On X (formerly Twitter), follow hashtags like #RemoteJobsATL for real-time tips, though activity is niche.
- Attend virtual events: Platforms like Eventbrite host Atlanta-focused remote career fairs, where employers scout for hybrid-remote talent.
Action item: Schedule one informational interview per week via LinkedIn. Mention mutual Atlanta connections to build rapport—networking can boost your chances by 30-50% for premium roles.Step 4: Tailor Your Applications and Prepare for InterviewsGeneric applications get lost in the shuffle; customization is key to standing out for Atlanta’s competitive remote market.
- Customize resumes and cover letters: Highlight remote-specific skills like self-motivation, Zoom proficiency, and tools (e.g., Slack, Asana). Quantify achievements: “Led remote team to $500K revenue growth” resonates with Atlanta’s results-driven employers like Fiserv.
- Ace virtual interviews: Practice with mock sessions on Pramp or Big Interview, focusing on behavioral questions like “How do you maintain productivity from home?” Research company culture—ServiceNow emphasizes work-life balance in remote setups.
- Negotiate aggressively: Once offered, counter with 10-20% above the initial range, citing Atlanta market data (e.g., $108 median hourly for mid-level remote roles). Emphasize your local ties for any hybrid flexibility.
Action item: Use AI tools like Resume.io for quick tweaks, then A/B test two versions of your resume on job applications.Step 5: Stay Persistent and Adapt to Market ShiftsThe remote job hunt in Atlanta can take 1-3 months, but consistency pays off—especially with 1,300+ listings on Glassdoor alone.
- Track trends: Monitor reports from sources like The Ladders, which highlight finance and legal sectors for six-figure remote growth in 2025. Upskill via free resources if needed, like Google’s Data Analytics Certificate.
- Avoid burnout: Set boundaries, like job searching 1-2 hours daily, and celebrate small wins like interview invites.
By following these steps, you’ll position yourself for Atlanta’s elite remote opportunities, from Leidos’ ITS managers to Capital One’s engineering roles. The city’s blend of Southern hospitality and big-city ambition makes it ideal for high-earners—start today, and your WFH setup could soon overlook the skyline (virtually, of course). Ready to apply? Head to Indeed or LinkedIn and filter for your dream salary.
