Mark Bradley
Has worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for more than 25 years. Has won some awards but lost many more. Is taller than you'd think. Isn't as smart as you might believe. Is a University of Kentucky grad but grew up rooting for Louisville, which probably says something. Lives in unfashionable South Cobb with his wife and their two daughters, all of whom are much nicer than he is.

Trouble in paradise? Bama puts assistant on leave

Nobody's picking the Braves - except Kate Upton
In the wake of yesterday's revelation that 27 of ESPN's 33 baseball analysts have picked the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Atlanta Braves in the Division Series comes another sobering forecast.

Lane Kiffin fired by USC: What took so long?
It's hard to believe now, but there were those -- I was among them, sorry to say -- who believed Southern Cal would be the nation's best team in 2012. The Trojans were ranked No. 1, ahead of even reigning champion Alabama, in preseason. Then they actually started to play, ...
