The 2020s are not the 1960s and the XFL/CFL are not anything like the NFL/AFL. When the NFL/AFL merged there was obviously an expanding market for pro-football franchises. The NFL agreed to merge with the AFL because the AFL already had a level of legitimacy in the markets in which the NFL wanted to expand. The merger added the 10 AFL teams to the 16 NFL teams with little overlay in markets, no real competition, and major network coverage onboard; a monopoly that almost couldn't fail to succeed. It's hard to see how the XFL/CFL could duplicate that today, even in spring football. Personal

Here we go again - another alternate pro-football league that's is almost certainly doomed for eventual failure. The fact is pro-football may already be saturated with the 32-teams National Football League. Yes, there are people who say they'd watch football year-round if it was offered. But here's the killer question: Just how many football fans like that are there? History has shown that there are not enough to support an additional football league. After perhaps an initial level of interest, stadium attendance and TV viewership inevitably drops like a stone. I don't see why a resurrect

Remember Warrick Dunn? I do. (And you should also, since Dunn owns a percentage of the Atlanta Falcons Football Club, Inc.) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2002 offseason thought after five seasons Dunn was damaged goods. So they waved bye to Warrick as he went free agent and signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Imagine the Bucs' surprise when Dunn showed them and the entire NFL that he still had plenty left in the tank. Dunn gave the Falcons six stellar seasons. In 2007, per his request, Dunn was released by the Falcons and resigned with the Bucs for the 2008 season; Dunn then retired.

Apparently, this Mensa was doing this at a Carroll Motor Fuels/Circle K convenience store, 3107 Hammons Ferry Road, Halethorpe, MD. The disease of the Taints knows no limits.

"Brady is going to let the clock run down to the last second before snapping the ball." If the Falcons had done that in Super Bowl LI they would have won.

FF: It looks like the Falcons have hired Arthur Smith as their new coach. Lady FF: Is that good or bad? FF: Well, he's well thought of ... but so was the last one.

Q: How does the Falcons differ from a dollar bill? (Y'all ought to be able to answer this one. And it's been true all freaking season.)

The Falcons should be an attractive prospect for a blue-chip coaching candidate. But if you believe in Bad Karma, has there been a more snake-bit team?

With a 17-0 lead at halftime, the Falcons are now poised to crush our hearts once again.

The Falcons should just cancel their season and concede the rest of the games. Seriously. Why not? There aren't any Season Tickets Holders to worry about. COVID-19 is still raging, so there's an excuse. They can lock in their Draft position without actually tanking games. It would remove the humiliation of probably losing to Brady two more times. No one would think less of the Falcons because how is that presently possible? Just throw in the towel and let this season be done with. Next season can be the start of a new age; this one is done.

Still? Who said most Falcons fans ever wanted him?

I'm hearing the same noises concerning Harbaugh as I heard prior to the hiring of Petrino. Like Petrino, an outer package that attracts some. But soon after his hiring, it became apparent that Petrino was a bad mistake; Harbaugh would be also.

Hey, northern Alabama has plenty of Falcons fans (when they're winning.) It's those dolt Saints fans around Mobile that dislike the Falcons.

Well, there's a blast from the past. Byron Leftwich was briefly on the Falcons roster as quarterback in 2007 under Bobby Petrino. I will admit Lefty had his excuses, but he still stunk-up the field as Falcons QB. I'm happy to hear he apparently found better success on the sidelines. Nevertheless, I would be wary to give Lefty the key to the kingdom.
