Those of you lucky enough to be at home because you want to be out of work get to watch the circle boys take on Watkins Glen today at noon.  This is one of my favorite courses on the Sprint Car circuit, but alas, I will be at work.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves have been on a mini tear of late, winning three in a row over the Dodgers, and five of six to pull within 3.5 of the Wild Card lead.  Of course every time I write about Atlanta, I more or less jinx them and they fall to pieces again.<\/p>\n<p>The Falcons resume camp today, this time with a full compliment on the offensive side of the ball.  I hope to goodness that the Detroit game this Saturday is televised.  Nothing like watching the rookies, seeing the depth charts fill out, taking a quick look at Gonzalez, and of course seeing what former Georgia Bulldogs QB Stafford can do for the Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Football officially kicked off last night with the annual Hall of Fame game.  Tennessee beating Buffalo 21-18.  It was preseason football, but the Statue of Liberty like trick play by Tennessee was good fun. <\/p>\n<p>Happy Monday.  Deal with it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you work for a living, Monday\u2019s basically suck.
