Lunch Break: Running Back Rundown

Streak Dead, Era Continues
BLOGGER’S NOTE: For quarter-by-quarter recaps of Sunday’s historic game, check out John Manasso’s Beat Blog. You can also get more stats and early highlights on the NFL.com Game Center.

Birdseed: October 31, 2009
Happy Halloween, Falcons Fans.
I’ll open with a horror story.
In recent history, the Saints in the Superdome have been the Lucy to the Falcons’ Charlie Brown. The football is there to be kicked — the game is there to win — but it’s pulled away at the last minute.
The Falcons haven’t won in New Orleans since [...]

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 [...]
