AJC writer whining about New Orleans getting another break (1 Viewer)

Mods, feel free to move this to the Pels board but I thought Saints fans would enjoy it as much as I did..

I admit it. At 8 p.m. Tuesday, I was thinking, “This is the night Atlanta’s luck changes.” Fifty minutes later, my mood was a bit darker. “New Orleans? Are you KIDDING me?...

There’s a part of me that believes this is a deferred payment to Gayle Benson, who owns both the Saints and the Pelicans, for the uncalled pass interference in January.
But where-oh-where, I ask, is the karma for Cliff Levingston’s running lefty hook, for that rat Jim Leyritz, for 28-3? When does Atlanta get its break? When has Atlanta ever gotten a break?..

Should have known better. We’re Atlanta. Our luck never changes.

Zion to NOLA makes the Hawks’ luckless lottery even worse

I admit it. At 8 p.m. Tuesday, I was thinking, "This is the night Atlanta's luck changes." Fifty minutes later, my mood was a bit darker. "New Orleans? Are you KIDDING me? They got the last truly great No. 1 pick, and he wants out! They deserve Zion?"

It is writers such as this, that give people the basis and reason, to understand why so many news and sports articles are fake, embellished and overly biased in there message. That said, why give those folks that write in such a way, credit, by acknowledging their stories? Forget them.

The Atlanta Fan in a nutshell.
Endlessly whine because something wasn't given to them.

I love how the NBA draft lottery is always legit, until your team is at the wrong end of it.

They need a constant Wambulance over there with their steady cries about how inferior they are to us in every way.

I enjoy his tears. What a bunch of crybabies.

"...and there’s a part of me that believes this is a deferred payment to Gayle Benson, who owns both the Saints and the Pelicans, for the uncalled pass interference in January. "
really hoping this is a joke. jesus with these people...

I'm actually a long time Hawks fan, and I had high hopes for a miracle lottery, but it wasn't to be. Congrats to the Pelicans on getting "the man".

And Mark Bradley is probably the worst sports journalist in the nation. Just pathetic and putrid, to the point that I knew it was going to be him before I even clicked on the link. .

ATL=All The Losers

Yes, because the NBA cares about making it up to the Saints regarding the NFL blowing their shot at a Super Bowl. What planet does this guy live on?

 

[V Chip]

They are completely obsessed with New Orleans. And this after years and years of NOLA only having one professional team.

The Saints live in their heads rent free 24/365.

Typical unprofessional hack.

He mentioned 28-3. That alone makes me smile to see someone in Atlanta reference the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history.

As for not getting Zion, I am surprised that people didn’t realize it was going to happen. It was predictable—maybe even rigged—kind of like 2012. But it needed to be because smaller markets have to be viable.

I'll happily trade the draft lottery results, LSU hoops' breaks at the end of this season, and a few other things if someone can go back in time and get the ref to throw the GD flag on Nickell Robey-Coleman.
