Falconcast: A Super Bowl Preview
Around two weeks ago I chronicled some reasons why Falcons fans should root for the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. Judging from various user comments, I underestimated how much Falcons lovers dislike the Saints.
A whopping 59 percent of those who voted with an in-blog poll will not root for the Saints (7 percent just don’t [...]

Birdseed: September 28, 2009
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 [...]

First-Day Thoughts: Tony Gonzalez
Tony Gonzalez likely won’t take part in every practice during Russell Falcons Training Camp. Head Coach Mike Smith told the media Saturday select veterans would take afternoons off to stay fresh.
Gonzalez confirmed in his meeting with the press.
Training camp is never a breeze, but this one has a different feel.

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, [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 1.0
This could go well or, like Homer Simpson conducting a monorail, I could be horribly unfit for this job and the mock draft spiral out of control.
Either way we’re in for a wild ride and a little fun, right!?
Keep in mind this is one man’s opinion.
No. 1 — Detroit Lions
QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia
