I listen to a lot of Sportstalk. A LOT of Sportstalk. I usually start the day with 790 the Zone and drive home listening to my friend Buck and his partner, Kincade. I can't listen often but I also enjoy Chuck and Chernoff on 680 in the afternoon.
One of the questions that is consistently asked has to do with the ATL and its lack of passion for professional sports. The answer is multi-faceted but also simple and straightforward.

So What's With the Title?
I tried lots of different titles and this was the one that wasn't taken. I really wanted to call it 'Whatnot' because I know me and I know that I can't stay on one topic for very long.

Pretend I'm a Columnist
Just pretend I'm a columnist with a readership of 1. That's how I'd like to start. Like I'm Lewis Grizzard and my editor says, "You're so talented, just write about whatever you want." I'm not sure that ever happened to him but I do remember he sometimes wrote about UGA football (check). Sometimes he wrote about his dog (check). Sometimes, he'd write about church (check). And sometimes, he'd write about what it means to be a son of the South and trying to understand what that means.
Like Lewis, I grew up in Georgia. Tucker, Georgia, to be exact. That was 'metro Atlanta' then and metro Atlanta consisted of 5 counties then. The metro area is now something like 30 counties. And the culture is definitely different. Often I'll visit Nashville or Birmingham and say to myself or to whoever is listening, "This reminds me of how Atlanta was when I was a kid." It was a regional city. A
