Disappointed But Optimistic
“Process” was the takeaway from the Falcons 2008 season-ending press conferences. This year, “disappointment” is making a case for the top prize.
Well, disappointment with a dash of “optimism.”

Finding Familiar Territory
There was no question Thomas Johnson was having a good time.
