Basebrawl: Pirates fan claims assault by rowdy fans at Braves game
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Pittsburgh Pirates fan from Macon claims he was sucker-punched by someone in a group of rowdies while leaving the April 2 Pirates-Braves game.
The apparent reason? The man was wearing a Bucs hat in Braves territory.
AJC reporter Tim Eberly writes: “The blow knocked many of [the fan’s] teeth out and broke his jaw and other bones in his face, according to an Atlanta police report. He is still healing, with his jaw wired shut.”
Have you experienced this sort of rowdy fan behavior at Braves games, either from other Braves fans or from fans of other teams? Did you take action of any kind and what was the result? How do you think fan rowdiness should be handled at games? Tell us.

‘Long’ gone, who’s going next?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How will the signing of Michigan OT Jake Long by the Dolphins affect the Falcons and the entire NFL Draft?
The Falcons need offensive line help, but now that the top lineman is out of the practice, should the Falcons still look for an offensive lineman at No. 3?
Here are three possibilities for the Falcons:
• Select Glenn Dorsey of LSU and immediately upgrade the defensive line.
• Select Matt Ryan of Boston College and wait for him to develop at QB.
• Trade the pick for a proven veteran or a combination of draft picks and players.
What do you think? Guess us your reasons why you would accept one of the scenarios - or give us a scenario of your own.
