Atlanta Update.

Ok, so I know I've been a way for a while but for those of you who don't know what all is going on in the great city of Atlanta sportswise here's the gist: The Atlanta Hawks made it through the first round of the NBA playoffs by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks in 7 games. They are currently in a series with the Orlando Magic and were handed a frustrating loss in the first game with Orlando winning by a resounding 42 points. If the Hawks don't get it together quickly they will find another early exit from the playoffs.

The Atlanta Braves are coming off a 9 game losing streak and appear to be on the way of missing the playoffs for a fourth straight season.

The Atlanta Falcons selected University of Missouri lineback Sean Weatherspoon with their first round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft.

As a lifelong Atlanta sports fan I am still waiting for the city to hoist some sort of championship. In the long history of the city, we only have ONE championship and that was from the Atlanta Braves in 1995, back when I was only about 5 years old so I really didn't know what was going on. Hold on Atlanta fans, one will come soon enough and I believe it will be from the Falcons before anybody else.
