Work never ends for an NFL team. When asked Monday if the team has kept track of Carolina’s quarterback situation, Head Coach Mike Smith smiled and said “we keep track of everything.” So, if you think the Falcons spend time just focusing on themselves, think again. The Birds returned to Flowery Branch Monday morning after Sunday’s victory [...]

You may have caught wind of our Twitter conversation with NFL Network’s Rich Eisen on Monday. What started as a simple “Talk Back” segment between the host and tight end Tony Gonzalez evolved (or devolved) into a brief run of tweets. Rich, to answer your question, there are two “Moores” on the AF.com team. Matt and [...]

Enjoy! Yesterday afternoon I chatted with training camp ops director and [...]

Just got a look at the media schedule for the first week of training camp and there’s going to be plenty of opportunities to capture some player and coach interviews and tell some stories. While we like to keep our daily plans as open-ended as possible, you can expect a few things from the AF.com team [...]

What gives? I go to Hawaii for a nice breeze, lower temperatures and vacation. I come home and a week later the weather — depending on your taste or choice in online weather predictions — may actually be better in North Georgia. Slightly cooler with less risk of a sunburn (did I mention I got toasted while [...]

The Minnesota Vikings hosted the 2009 NFL High School Player Development National 7-on-7 Tournament last weekend. The group representing the Falcons from North Cobb High School made it to the championship, but fell to the undefeated Miami Dolphins contingent 48-38. North Cobb won the regional tournament late last month. According to a Vikings press release, more than 10,000 [...]

What does a Web-addicted, news-sniffing blogger do when he needs a vacation? He goes to Hawaii and turns the phone off. But now it’s time to say “aloha” (goodbye) to the islands and “aloha” (hello) to Flowery Branch. The wife and I took a nine-day vacation to visit friends in Honolulu during this slow, offseason time but I [...]

When your parents live out of state, holidays take a little planning. Father’s Day is coming up in just more than a week and I’m starting to think of some gift ideas for my dad, including options to be delivered on a later date (the whole out-of-state thing). For the “Falcon Dad,” I’ll point out a [...]

More than 40 Falcons players braved the heat Monday and came out to the fifth annual Verizon Wireless Network of Champions Golf Tournament at The River Club. It’s Head Coach Mike Smith’s “home” course, so it was extra special for him and other coaches in attendance. I took in the action from around the course and the [...]

Checking in after a three-day weekend… I trust Falcons fans had a nice Memorial Day weekend and took time to honor and say “thank you” to a member of America’s armed services. We often lose touch with the meaning of holidays but, more times than not, I see some true appreciation for special days on the calendar. It [...]
