Atlanta's Own: An Atlanta Sports Podcast

The boys breakdown the Calvin Ridley gambling saga and how his suspension further affects the Falcons, we talk about the specifics of baseball's lockout as well as we can and the damage being done to the game because of it, and we sulk about the Hawks continuing to baffle the fanbase and themselves with their inconsistent play.
