Too bad Newberry's knees aren't what it use to be, although I'm a fan of Heitmann, Newberry was better (when healthy).

I spoke to him a short while ago, he frequents the Niner bar here in San Diego. He's excited about the opportunity. Some of his buddies that are down here that he went to Antioch HS with are a bit bummed, but they look forward to watching him play in ATL. His beach house is already up for sale

I always like newberry. I wish that he remained healthy and was still on the team. I still wish him the best in his career

33 is still a viable age for the center position. On his knees, not so much, but I'm glad to see he's still kicking around.

The guy is the definition of a true warrior. To be in his 12th season on those knees is a testament to his grit (or maybe lack of intelligence?). I wish him all the best. He sure gave us his all when he was here!
