Birdseed: October 15, 2009
Seven years ago this evening my life changed forever. It’s all thanks to a wonderful woman and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Mrs. J. Mike and I had our first date 2,555 days ago. The night included watching an old VHS copy of one of the best — or worst — horror movies ever made (who says I’m [...]

Statistically, it was no where near the most successful game of his career. But having Jerious Norwood back on the field after a concussion certainly improved the Falcons ability to move the football and score.
The running back, who suffered a pair of concussions over a 22-day period, rushed for 44 yards on 12 carries in [...]

So, the much-anticipated Madden showdown didn’t go too well for me.
It seems the human behind the controls of an xBox 360 needs to have some actual skill to make things work properly. My abilities must have caught an earlier flight to San Francisco.
Sorry to let you down Falcons fans, but rest assured the 31-17 defeat [...]

Birdseed: October 8, 2009
Tonight’s the night.
At some point this evening my brother-in-law and I will match gaming wits in the xBox universe. He’s a 49ers fan and when we play online — sparingly — it’s often an Atlanta-San Francisco matchup.
He currently holds a 2-0 lead.

In about two hours the Falcons will embark on an Atlanta-sized community mission.
You could call it the community “Super Bowl.”
Most of the team will give up a day off today for Hometown Huddle — a citywide community event that features a few surprise appearances around town and other trips to elementary and middle school physical [...]

Tom Brady thew for 277 yards and a touchdown and the Falcons did not record a quarterback sack for the first time this season.
Atlanta lost to New England, 26-10 Sunday in Foxborough, Mass.
It’s a simple correlation the most novice of football fans can make.
With time to survey the field and throw, Brady found nine different [...]

Sparano inherited a Dolphins team that finished 1-15 in 2007. [...]
