The neighborhood that Turner Field calls home is in for some major changes once Atlanta’s MLB team heads OTP in 2017. Summerhill, officially established after the Civil War, was first home to freed slaves and Jewish immigrants. A century later, white flight and stadium construction devastated the neighborhood. Evander Holyfield lived in Summerhill as a child. Today, Freewheel Farm, which sells... | more...

Evander Holyfield is old -47 to be exact - but that doesn’t mean he’s going to - prevent further brain damage - retire anytime soon.

Following his 8th-round TKO defeat of fellow senior citizen Frans Botha, 41, this past Saturday night, it appears that Holyfield may never step out of the ring - willingly at least.

Holyfield - the only four-time heavyweight champion in boxing history...

Movie Review

James Toback’s Tyson gives audiences the chance to go a few rounds with Iron Mike. Fortunately, the documentary doesn’t require you to pull on boxing gloves and get into the ring with the former heavyweight champ.

It’s sad to even think that former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield stood a chance of going to jail because he was behind on child support payments to the mother of one of his children.

But that’s what Holyfield faced in Fayette County today before he paid $9,000 in back child support and promised to meet his other obligations — private school tuition, health insurance and paying...

The thing with young professional athletes — as ESPN’s Rick Reilly notes in today’s column — is that too many of them never consider that someday the money spigot is going to be shut off. They’ll get old and retire. It’s just a law of nature. How else do you explain Evander Holyfield building a palace in Fayette County that requires $1 million a year (in 1997 dollars) just for... | more...

Add one Jesse Spikes to the long list of folks planning to run for Atlanta mayor next year.

No, we weren’t familiar with Mr. Spikes, either, so we gave him a call. Spikes, 57, is a former Rhodes Scholar and a senior partner with McKenna Long & Aldridge, one of the city’s largest law firms. Although he served for a time as Evander Holyfield’s business attorney, he is not a well-known...
