Tua Tagovailoa is not hiding his feelings after Atlanta's preseason loss to Denver. The Falcons quarterback went just three of five for twenty-two yards over two series, and afterward said he was frustrated and disappointed with his performance. It's preseason, but Tua's clearly holding himself to a higher standard right out of the gate.
Meanwhile the NFL has dropped the hammer on Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce, handing him an eight-game suspension following a domestic violence arrest. That's nearly half a regular season gone before it begins, a significant blow to a Falcons defense that was counting on the young pass rusher to make a real impact this year.
And in Giannis news, the Greek Freak is getting brutally honest about his future. Antetokounmpo has made clear he's ready to be the cornerstone the Miami Heat needs heading into the two thousand twenty-six to twenty-seven season. After leaving Milwaukee, he's not interested in easing into anything — he wants to win, and he's saying so out loud.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
