Finishing a Playoff Picture
The Falcons (7-7) were eliminated from playoff contention with the Cowboys upset win over the Saints Saturday night. The team responded with a character-filled victory over the playoff-hopeful New York Jets.
The next two games down’t offer a chance to be much of a spoiler but they do give Atlanta a chance to post a back-to-back [...]

Your Week 13 Television Breakdown…
When Michael Vick first signed with the Philadelphia Eagles I thought Sunday’s game could be flexed to the prime time spot on NBC. As both Atlanta and Philadelphia moved toward top rivals in the NFC Wild Card chase, I was almost sure it would happen.
Shows what I know. Minnesota and Arizona stays locked in on [...]

Maps and Notes for Week 12 Television
Two things are certain on Thanksgiving:
I’ll fall into a food comma at some point because of Mrs. J. Mike’s delicious cooking.
The Lions will play (and probably lose).
Before I turn on the office television to watch a little Thanksgiving pigskin and, later, go home to a feast, I’ll detail a little about the weekend television schedule.
(It’s [...]

Week 9 Television Notes
It seems like a month since the Falcons last played in the Georgia Dome. In fact, the span between an Oct. 18 victory over the Chicago Bears and Sunday’s game against the Redskins is exactly 21 days.
And the road games between weren’t too kind to the Falcons.
In a blink the Falcons went from 4-1 to [...]

Grass? In a Dome?
Crews at the Georgia Dome spent the weekend installing a grass field in preparation for Wednesday’s soccer match between Mexico and Venezuala.
It will be the first time the venue hosts an event on a grass field (click here for photos).
Sod from Precision Turf in Lilburn was laid in 4-by-8 foot sections. It will be removed [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 7.0
The NFL Draft is just more than two days away and speculation is in high gear.
When I first had the idea to do a series of mock drafts leading up to this epic offseason event I was ignorant to the various opinions held by the Falcons fan base.
You all opened my eyes to more possibilities [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 6.0
We’ve reached a turning point with the Mock Draft. It is, in many ways, the point of no return.
Six weeks ago I started presenting you with various scenarios for the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft, including a lengthy list of possible selections for the Falcons with the No. 24 pick.
At times I’ve felt [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 5.0
I should have known the moment I started getting cocky something would come along and smack me back into reality. Just when I thought I was inspiring some discussion and throwing out wild, though plausible, scenarios NFL news and a few wise comments mixed things up.
Now I’m starting to realize the stress and scrutiny that [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 3.0
Three weeks into the mock draft and I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. Or at least I’ve found something that seems to suit me.
Like Homer Simpson morphing into “Dancing Homer,” I feel like I’m spreading some cheer while having little fun.
Then again, like Homer Simpson dancing on top of a dugout, [...]
