I am a long-suffering Falcons fan.
I went to the first game they ever played! It was at the old Atlanta Stadium in 1965. I was a high school football player there in Atlanta.
That was really exciting, we finally had our own stadium, and we had a pro team in the Deep South.
At that time there was no team in Miami, no team in Tennessee, the closest team was the Washington Redskins.
We had drafted the best linebacker in the game, Tommy Nobis from Texas. We had high hopes.

The Falcons lost that game but a drunk in the seat in front of us kept shouting "Go Fulcrums!!"
I was a high school kid, I couldn't figure out if the didn't know the name of the team, or if he was goofing on our new team.

Well, I am long-suffering and there has been a lot of suffering. We made one Super Bowl and the Broncos handed us our heads on a platter.

Well, now there is a new coach and the Falcons are playing well.
I have always liked Tom Brady and the Patriots but this year of course, I have to cheer for our Falcons. The Falcons might actually win a Super Bowl.

Go Fulcrums!!

    It will be an interesting game. I decided not to put any action on it when I was in Vegas last week. Go *!

    1995 Braves, perhaps?
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Hoping our local boy wins it all for the Falcons. Matt Ryan, Wildwood NJ High School. This kid is that great.
