The Atlanta Thrashers have fired their head coach. Bob Hartley is out, as the team opened its pro hockey season losing the first 6 games on the schedule. Hartley just last season led the Thrashers to their first-ever playoff appearance—which ended in an opening-round series loss. General manager Don Waddell will coach the team in the interim while a search for a permanent replacement gets underway. The Thrashers tonight host the Rangers in Atlanta.
The NFL’s Atlanta Falcons are struggling themselves with a 1-5 start. To that end, coach Bobby Petrino has made a change at quarterback, installing Byron Leftwich as the new starter for the remainder of the season. Joey Harrington goes to the bench to serve as the number-2 quarterback.
