ThunderCookie 216 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is the first Atlanta Falcons article I have had published officially on Yahoo Sports. I was limited to a word count, so some things had to be left out.What should have been there that isn't? Atlanta Falcons: NFL Team Profile Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pzummo 6,758 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Great way to get some hits on your article I wouldn't include the 2004 and 2010 NFC South championships unless you included all of the years we won it. Since a lot of the article is a historical team profile, I would include all of the Division titles or none of them (we won the Division in 1980 and 1998 as well). I would also remove the "lifelong fan" portion from your signature. It will make people assume you are a homer and not an unbiased writer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Yahoo requires all freelance writers to show fan affiliation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snafu 7,447 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would have left out the life-long fan and season ticket holder thing. I didn't read your name at the top and when I saw it, I thought he was some celebrity I never heard of. Then I googled and realized it was you. I felt dumb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
direwolf 1,165 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The Falcons' coaches didn't think poorly of Favre's ability - they thought he was really immature, drank WAY too much, and would never focus in Atlanta. And they were right - he's admitted as much himself more than once (most telling quote - "Being traded from Atlanta didn't just save my career, it saved my life.").

It wasn't us who didn't see anything in Favre it was him being an Alcoholic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
