The Atlanta Hawks learned the hard way Sunday night you can’t ever count out Tom Brady and the New England Patriots — and no, that’s not a typo: We’re talking about the NBA team — not the NFL team, the Falcons, which blew a 25-point lead in the biggest Super Bowl choke of all time. The Hawks have one of the NBA’s most active (and sometimes aggressive) Twitter accounts. Often times, the Hawks’ social media team is downright funny. But they got a little carried away Sunday night while tweeting about Super Bowl LI. Here’s how the Hawks started the night: Bold move. Comparing a first-round NBA playoffs series to the Super Bowl is

Malcolm Butler Has A Lot Riding On Playoff Matchup With Antonio Brown
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler has already proven he won’t be another Larry Brown, Timmy Smith or David Tyree. Now it’s time to show he’s an elite cornerback. Butler successfully transitioned from unlikely Super Bowl hero to one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
