ATLANTA -- No one can downplay the popularity of football in Georgia this week as the University of Georgia gears up for another run at the national title. The Georgia General Assembly has planned its opening day agenda around the Bulldogs’ championship contest Monday night in Los Angeles with Texas Christian University.

More parents will likely question the wisdom of allowing their children to play after Monday’s terrifying on-camera collapse of Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin during a Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills game. Now in critical condition, Hamlin went into cardiac arrest after a hit to the chest.
