MagnusXXIII Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Without him, the city of Atlanta would have zero chance achieving the ultimate goal in sports...A World Champion Football team.In business, the foundation is built at the top.And we have top three management.If we don't make it this year ... That is fine ...But it will happen under this owner.One game at a time ...Go Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporkdevil Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I like it. He has been willing to spend, without being the Jerry Jones "I'm picking the player" type of owner. He had a few bumps in the road, but has killed it as of recent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticFit Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 He commands respect that no other owner can. I am proud to say the he is the owner of our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedsquirl Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I REALLY wish they would have let Blank buy the Braves.I am pretty impressed with the Uggla trade though.Maybe the "Corporation that views the Braves as a tax write off" isn't going to totally suck.

vafalconfan Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 It is often overlooked by most fans, but we have one of the elite owners in the NFL. And if you think ownership is not that important take a look at the teams that are contending every year. It matters big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaFalconPokerPro Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm as big a AB fan as I am a falcons fan. I've always believed that if he can build home depot into what it is today then he can bring a championship to Atlanta. It's taken a few years for AB o put all of the pieces into place, which is to be expected with having little NFL experience. I can't wait to see him hold the VLT.

SaintsWrath Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Im a Saints fan and i've always liked Author Blank, only wish the best for the guy however just short of the Superbowl lol.. I hope he gets the stadium he wants one day though, even if it's not in Atlanta. maybe he could do what Dallas Did and build something just outside of Atlanta.But thats one good owner ya'll guys have, he seems like he really cares and try and put a good product on the field, sad he don't have the season ticket numbers but Atlanta sports fans are kinda notorious for being kinda bandwagonish..

The Saints never sold-out their season tickets until after a natural disaster and had terrible attendance and blackouts in the early half of the 2000s. There is a waiting-list for our season tickets and for 45 years there has been little that has happened to make our franchise worth bandwagoning. By the way, who is Author Blank?

mastershake Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 He took a beating a few years ago, but funny how things work out. I would take Smith and TD over pigtrino and that POS Parcells any day. All my fins buddies laughed at me when the took the Tuna. The guy hasn't done anything in 20 yrs and leaves every team in shambles. Passed on Ryan and drafted P white and when it doesn't work out he bails. AB has class and I wouldn't rather have any other owner in the league. Easy to look classy when everything is going good, but things go bad, thats where your true character comes out.

Dedsquirl Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Have we ever had other owners?Google Rankin Smith and try not to get angry.Although if it wasn't for Rankin, there wouldn't even be a team here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_Hal Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I am not happy with every decision he has made, but he is the reason for our success. Truthfully, his best move was bringing in Dimitroff. THAT is the guy who has been the catalyst of our success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoFalcons Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hes a great owner, because he finds the right balance. He lets his managment that he hired do their job and at the same time keep that respectable authority. He truly cares about the players, the fans and the city.

He lets his managment that he hired do their job and at the same time keep that respectable authority. He truly cares about the players, the fans and the city.He was always a good owner. Now he is a more experienced and more mature owner. He is growing right along side of his franchise. I can't wait to see what the future holds!
