The second is a u-shaped outdoor sofa with a center table. All food and drink orders can be placed from your bay. For each game, each player gets 20 chances to “put the ball in the hole”.

The Georgia Bulldogs outlasted the South Carolina Gamecocks 24-14 on Saturday, Sept. 16 to stay unbeaten on the season.
It was a pretty win by any stretch but it allowed Georgia to see where it needs to improve.
UGA quarterback Carson Beck started off slow but managed to put together a solid second half.
“We came out with energy,” Beck said in his post-game interview. “We were composed, we were poised, and we started making plays.”
The Dawgs only managed 3 points by halftime as several miscues combined with solid play by South Carolina kept UGA from the end zone.
In the third quarter, Georgia scored 14 points and added another touchdown in the fourth stanza to pull away.
Georgia (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) will next face the UAB Blazers.

Behind the stellar play and big bats of Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Matt Olson, the Atlanta Braves have clinched the National League East title, a feat the squad has done six straight times.
If you’ve watched the Braves this year, you know that their offense has been one for the record books, but other teams are right behind them.
The Braves find themselves in a familiar place as they head into the Major League baseball playoffs. The team from Atlanta is one of the hottest in baseball and its dugout, bullpen and management are top-notch.
Braves Win Sixth Straight National League Title
Atlanta has now won 23 division titles, which lead the major leagues.
“They’re all special, and they’re all really hard,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “You should enjoy every time you get a chance to do this. It’s like I told them, ‘Don’t forget how this feels’ because it’s a really good feeling that lets you know your hard work is for something.”
Who Will The Braves Face In the Playoffs?
The Braves will likely get a first-round bye and begin postseason play the first week of October. The squad will also likely get home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
Many pundits are predicting a repeat showdown with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Final Swing
When the Braves won it all in 2021, they were underdogs. Not so this time: Atlanta is the favorite and everyone will be gunning for them. Will they be ready?

Coco Gauff, the 19-year-old tennis phenomenon from Atlanta, Georgia, made history on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023.
She won the U.S. Open by beating Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.Just 11 years ago, Gauff went from dancing at the US Open as an 8-year-old to winning her first career Grand Slam at the same tournament 11 as a 19-year-old.
She is the youngest American US Open champion since Serena Williams in 1999.
“Thank you to the people who didn’t believe in me,” Gauff said in her victory speech. “To those who thought they were putting water on my fire, you were really adding gas to it.”
Ranked No. 6 in the world, Gauff had to beat No. 2 player in the world to win the U.S. Open.
Sabalenka made 46 unforced errors on the day, while Gauff only committed 19.
Who Are Coco Gauff’s Parents?
Coco Gauff’s parents are Corey Gauff, a former athlete who played basketball at Georgia State University in Atlanta and Candi (Odom) Gauff who ran track for Florida State.
The Gauffs exposed Coco to many disciplines while she was young, including dance, basketball and tennis. While Coco was born in Atlanta, she was raised in Delray Beach, Florida.
After her win, Gauff thanked her parents for their dedication to her craft.
“Today was the first time I’ve seen my dad cry,” she said after the match. “Thank you guys. You believed in me from the beginning. I’ve been coming to this tournament, siting right there watching Venus & Serena compete. It’s incredible.”
Gauff credited Venus and Serena Williams as the reason for her victory.
“They’re the reason why I have this trophy today. They’ve allowed me to believe in this dream,” Gauff said. “Growing up, there weren’t too many black tennis players dominating the sport. It was just them at the time that I can remember, & obviously more came because of their legacy. It made the dream more believable. All the things they had to go through, they made it easier for someone like me to do this. You look back at the history of Indian Wells with Serena, all she had to go through. Venus, fighting for equal pay. It’s crazy & it’s an honor to be in that same lineup as them.”
Final Serve
Coco stands to become a household name now that she’s won the U.S. Open.
She already has had several endorsement deals from the likes of companies like Dior and Porsche. Those deals will only grow now.

It’s a ring for Trae Young! The star guard of the Atlanta Hawks got married on Saturday, July 23, 2023 in some nice summertime nuptials.
Instead of at one of Atlanta’s best wedding venues, the wedding was reportedly held in the Bahamas.
Young married his longtime fiancee Shelby Miller, who is expecting a baby girl, the couple’s second child.
Young recently announced that he and Miller were expecting. “I wanted to announce that my son Tydus is going to be a big brother… to a little girl,” Young said on his “From the Point” podcast. “Ain’t nothing like being a dad, bro.”Young, 24, and Miller, 27, have been engaged since 2021 and the couple have been together since his college days in 2017 when they both attended the University of Oklahoma. Young was a star basketball player and Miller was a cheerleader for the Sooners.
A photo shared on social media by Jarred Vanderbilt reveals a look at the celebrities that attended Young’s wedding. Notice anyone? Perhaps a particular singer?
May we all be “Forever Young,” as the theme of the wedding was. -
The Atlanta Hawks have secured their backcourt for the 2023-24 season, signing guard Dejounte Murray to a multi year contract.
The terms of the agreement were not disclosed by the team, who is hoping Murray can bring stability to the Hawks offense and help star guard Trae Young.
Hawks Re-Sign Murray
Murray averaged 20.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 74 games last season.
“Been Locked In From The Moment Y’all Accepted Me….. LOYALTY OVER EVERYTHING Let’s Gooooooooooooooo!!!!!!”
“DJ is someone we want to continue to build with. He’s a dynamic talent with the heart of a leader. He leads by example, is an unselfish teammate, and truly cares about winning,” said Hawks General Manager Landry Fields.
The deal comes 13 months after the San Antonio Spurs traded Murray, then an All Star, to the Hawks for forward Danilo Gallinari and a trio of first-round picks.
The original trade was as follows:
Hawks received:
• Dejounte Murray
• Jock LandaleSpurs received:
• Danilo Gallinari
• 2023 first-round pick (via Charlotte from New York, protected)
• 2025 first-round pick
• 2026 pick swap
• 2027 first-round pickThe Spurs used the picks in part to draft Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1.

Due to the crime level in New Orleans, city officials hope that nighttime hoops can keep people off the streets and out of court, but also on the court, if you get my meaning. -
The Boston Celtics eliminated the Atlanta Hawks from the playoffs on Thursday, April 27, but it’s what one of them said after the game that has Hawks fans suffering even more. Celtics’ star guard Jason Tatum actually apologized to music star Janet Jackson for not finishing off Atlanta sooner than it did.
“First, I want to apologize to the legend Janet Jackson,” Tatum said. “We wee supposed to close out in Boston; she had to postpone her show.”
He was referring to Jackson’s show at State Farm Arena, which had to be moved after the Hawks won in Boston earlier in the week. The Atlanta victory meant that the venue actually double-booked Jackson and the Hawks.
“Due to tonight’s Atlanta Hawks’ Game 5 win , we will host Game 6 on Thursday, moving Thursday’s Janet Jackson concert to Friday. If you have tickets to the original show date, they will be honored for Friday’s date.”
The post-game remarks were off the cuff but a low blow to the Hawks, who were hoping to tie the series up and play a Game 7 in Boston.
“I hope she sees this. I apologize for that, but we got it done today,” Tatum said, smiling the whole time.
The Hawks lost 128-120 due to a late-game clinic put on by the Celtics.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium may be the venue for one of the biggest games in the NFL playoffs. Here are the details announced by the NFL owners on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023.If either the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills don’t make it to the AFC Championship, the game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
AFC Championship Game Could Be Played in Atlanta If…
Here are the scenarios in which the AFC title game would be played in Atlanta, a neutral site this year:
- Buffalo (12-3) and Kansas City (13-3) both win or tie in Week 18 + both teams advance to the AFC title game.
- Buffalo (12-3) and Kansas City (13-3) both lose + Cincinnati (11-4) also loses or ties in Week 18 + Buffalo and Kansas City advance to the AFC title game.
- Buffalo (12-3) and Kansas City (13-3) both lose + Cincinnati (11-4) wins + the AFC title game is either Bills-Chiefs or Bengals-Chiefs.
When is The 2023 AFC Championship Game Being Played?
The AFC Championship game is set for Sunday, January 29, 2023, in either Buffalo, Kansas City or Atlanta.
The need for a neutral site arose after the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo game was canceled following the on-field collapse of Damar Hamblin.
In a news release, the NFL said, “If the Ravens (10-6) defeat Cincinnati in Week 18 and the Chargers (10-6) beat the Denver Broncos, and if Baltimore and Cincinnati are scheduled to play a wild-card game against one another, the site for that game would be determined by a coin toss. If Cincinnati wins the Week 18 game or if Baltimore and Cincinnati are not scheduled to play one another in the wild-card round, the game sites would be determined by the regular scheduling procedures.”
“We believe this is a focused approach that will only affect four teams, and directly address the potential for competitive inequity resulting from 30 teams playing 17 games and two playing 16 games,” Goodell said during a Friday conference call. “It was critical for the owners to vote today so that clubs know going into this weekend what they’re playing for.”
Final Words
The NFL playoffs begin this weekend with the wildcard round.
