We refuse to watch college football until after baseball season has officially ended. To do so would be a sin against all that we hold dear and true in this world. Just kidding.

How about that Alabama game? Is it safe to say that Alabama’s defense is the greatest and most constant thing in all of sports? Calvin 80-grade Ridley is a man among boys.

I’m so sorry.  Wrong website for that.  [ Ed. note:  defense doesn’t matter ]

This week on the Knockahoma Nation podcast we are joined by Braves Options Guy, who recaps the Braves’ recent trades and how the money shed from said trades could allow the Braves to make some off-seasons purchases.

Also on the podcast this week – Ken shares a story about a rookie from Georgia who got called up late in the season, hit around .300, only to struggle the following year. Despite the media attention, despite pressure from fans, and despite his struggles with one particular pitch, this young Georgian ended up figuring things out.

We also share our thoughts on the latest

Freddie Freeman

injury debacle. What are your thoughts on Freddie playing right now? Wait, you’re not a doctor? Okay then.
