Five (or Six) Links to Review Mini Camp

By J. Michael Moore | Published: May 10, 2010
I’ve been in this business for seven seasons and, without fail, the best barometer for preseason expectations — perhaps success — comes with the amount of media attention. The earlier the better. So imagine the reaction when there were almost too many links to list from the Falcons weekend mini camp. Sure, I could have pulled together some [...]

Birdseed: May 3, 2010

As many of you know, I grew up in and around Nashville, Tenn. So, most of my Internet time over the last three days has been spent following the historic flooding overtaking the city — including my hometown. There are no reports of major damage or injury to anyone in my family or circle of friends, [...]

If you’ve been keeping up with my 2010 mock drafts you know there’s plenty of paths the Falcons may take through the selection process. You also know a lot depends on the actions of teams with the first 18 picks. So why do football fans and journalists make mock drafts in the first place? For some, it’s [...]

The NFL will unveil the 2010 regular-season schedule at 7 p.m. Tuesday, making a busy day of pre-draft preparations a little more interesting. At the very least, the schedule release is a respite from the topsy turvy world of draft planning and speculation (I don’t know about anyone else, but by this time in the pre-draft season I grow [...]

Get ready Falcons fans. It’s NFL Draft week. Not many people in Flowery Branch are allowed in the war room these days for obvious reasons but rest assured the team’s braintrust has made significant strides in making plans for Thursday evening — the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. General Manager Thomas Dimitroff said he’ll start looking [...]

I’m quickly approaching three full years as an employee of Arthur Blank and the Atlanta Falcons but I’m well aware of the ups and downs this franchise has faced since its birth in 1966. Until 2009 a winning season was always followed by a losing one. Now with the back-to-back winning season monkey gone, the team can [...]

Birdseed: March 15, 2010

We’re in the midst of one of the most interesting periods of the NFL calendar. The free agent signing period is more than week old. The big-splash acquisitions (see Robinson-comma-Dunta) are out of the way and the slow, day-to-day debate on second-level players has taken shape. Too early for concrete news on the NFL Draft but [...]

It’s been almost two weeks since the Super Bowl and — much to the joy of some ad executives — one commercial is still making the rounds. It’s spawned plenty of office laughs and discussion in Flowery Branch and sparked a Facebook page demanding results. It’s also my favorite of a lackluster group of 2010 advertisements. Why [...]

So here we are in the football offseason and less than a week into the blackout men and women everywhere are confronted with a dilemma — Valentine’s Day is Sunday. Oh, and you can’t use football as an excuse to forget a present or dinner plans. Mrs. J. Mike and I don’t have a good track [...]
