Major Changes for the Atlanta Falcons

There are a lot of changes that have transpired since the Atlanta Falcons loss against the Miami Dolphins last Thursday.

Within one week, the falcons have cut 8 players from their roster, including one they recently signed this summer. Arthur Lynch, former University of Georgia standout and tight end, was signed by the Atlanta Falcons in mid July, and was waived by the Atlanta Falcons on August 27. Along with Lynch, offensive lineman Michael Huey, running back Gus Johnson, wide receiver Jordan Leslie, linebacker Ivan McLennan, quarterback Sean Renfree, cornerback Ryan White, and defensive lineman Brandon Williams were among the other players that have been waived by the Falcons. Sergio Brown (safety), was the only one to be released.

The Atlanta Falcons now stands at 75 players ready to be suited up for the last preseason game at the Georgia Dome against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What exactly does this mean for the Atlanta Falcons in the regular season?

Lately, they have been preparing two of the most stellar players for what is to come. Julio Jones and Dwight Freeney sat out of practice on Sunday due to their injuries. With Jones' ankle and Freeney's back injury, these two need as much time away from the field right now until full recovery and can help bring the Falcons more wins this season.

So, the question is, what do we expect against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Thursday? A good game with great players. Hoping that Jones and Freeney are recovered enough to bring some extra skill to the table, the Falcons will be ready to take home their 3rd preseason win to lead to more regular season wins for Falcons fans.

Although the Falcons have gone under major changes these past few weeks that will affect them in the future, these are bringing positive changes to the Falcons franchise and will help bring more wins back home.

Stay tuned on September 1 on your local CW station for the Falcon's last preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Georgia Dome. Follow @KayDesiraye on Twitter for Falcons' news and live game updates.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
