Exactly, just name KAEPERNICK the SB MVP today.

I'd be ok with that.

Respect to Ray Lewis though of course.

Hawks got one in 1958 so that's a Basketball one

So yeah, not much here but 4 is better then one, even if all of them was like forever ago. Falcons got this I'm sure of it, I got faith in my team RISE UP

Well those 154 seasons over ALL Atlanta sports teams must date back to 1958. Do the math, cause I'm not going to lol.

I didn't do any research on the matter, just read it in an article.

No offense (I'm pulling for MATTY ICE and the Falcons to win today) but...

Previous poster was referring to Atlanta sports and was still correct

1914 was the Boston Braves, 1957 was the Milwaukee Braves, 1995 was the Atlanta Braves

If you go back even further, the "Braves" won another championship in 1892 as the Boston Beaneaters. As for the Hawks they were the St. Louis Hawks at the time. You can't really call it Atlanta sports when it wasn't an Atlanta sports team at the time.

This reminds me of Indianapolis Colts fans who weren't fans back in the Baltimore Colts days who want to count those titles as part of Indianapolis, or (and the media is at fault for this one as well) Los Angeles Lakers fans who count the titles won in Minneapolis as LA titles. I guess it's a bit subjective. If you're like most Lakers fans and haven't lived a day in your life in SoCal, then it's easier to count the franchise's titles as a whole. If you're LA born and bred, the titles won in Minneapolis, belong to the city of Minneapolis and their history. The easiest way to describe it, is wherever the victory parade took place, is the city where the championship matters most. But if you're loyal to the team itself and not the city, that's different I suppose. Nobody better ask me about the Raiders because that WILL contradict everything I just said, I count them as one big hazy blur and say "close enough".

You're an Atlanta sports fan though so you shouldn't really care as much about St. Louis or Boston or Milwaukee sports championships, and as previous poster stated, that leaves you with only 1995 to cherish.

Well my bad -.- I made a mistake lol, I just could have swore when I was at the Phillips Arena for the ppv I saw at least something for the Hawks hanging like a banner for a damn championship, figured it was them. As for the Braves then I messed up there a lot more lol, oh well I just woke up and shit anyway.

No worries, like I said it's still technically franchise championships. The titles carry over from whatever city they were previously in. But it only matters depending on whether your loyalty is strictly with the franchise or if it's local pride.

Off-topic but I always wonder about Charlotte, New Orleans, and OKC when it comes to the NBA. The silverbacks of New Orleans had the Jazz but then they moved to Utah. Then New Orleans got the Hornets and OKC adopted them briefly before handing them back over. Those same Hornets were in Charlotte before, but now that city has the Bobcats. And OKC has the Thunder, previously the Seattle Supersonics. I figure the old NO Jazz fans stopped caring shortly after the team left, and have latched on to the Hornets. There may or may not be a generation of Charlotte Hornets fans that still root for them but probably not so much now that they have the Bobcats. And OKC LOVED the Hornets and there was probably a bit of a struggle to root against them once the Thunder arrived. But I imagine the past two seasons has alleviated all that.

Man... not many people remember this but if it were not for Robert Kraft buying the Patriots and keeping them in New England, they would have moved to St. Louis and been known as the Stallions. Can't imagine the Boston sports market not having an NFL team so there may have been an expansion team eventually. I'm REAL glad to avoid all that.

OH SHIT KAEPERNICK ON THE COVER OF SI.

Yeah it's 1996 again and the SI jinx is going strong.
