Sun Tzu 7 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Has anyone noticed he's been authoring all of the ESPN Falcon articles recently?For the younger crowd he was the beat writer before Steve Wyche and didn't have the greatest relationship with the Falcons at times.

DMT11 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I thought Terence something was the beat writer before Wysche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I thought Terence something was the beat writer before Wysche It was Terrance Moore, and yeah I thought that too --- I don't even know who this little Winkeljohn feller is!

g-dawg Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 It was Terrance Moore, and yeah I thought that too --- I don't even know who this little Winkeljohn feller is! Haha!Terrance Moore was never Falcons beatwriter - he was a columnist that loved to trash all ATL sports teams - never a beatwriter.Some Falcons beatwriters over the years:Steve WycheMatt WinklejohnLen Pasquarellithere have been a lot more but these are the ones I can quickly remember. I know Chris Mortensen was a Braves beatwriter - cannot remember if he was Falcons beatwriter - there were a few more mixed in that I cannot recall right now.

g-dawg Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Where have you been mate???It seems like an eternity since I've seen you post on here.hello down under!I have been on other forums on this board - College Sports forum (Georgia Bulldogs) and Anything But Football(mostly politics) - the Falcons have been too depressing to participate in TATF so I skipped out. Now that season is basically over, time to start discussing what needs to be changed/fixed in coaching and personnel. The offseason came about a month and half earlier than I thought it would just seven short weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see he's writing for ESPN. He didn't pull any punches, he would definitely tell it like it was.When he was Falcons beat reporter for the AJC, he used to come in my nightclub in Buckhead. I went to a couple of Falcons games with him back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tootie Quivers Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Winkeljohn was the best. He was not a fan of the team and it made for unbiased opinions. He was critical but there was, is, and probably always will be something to criticize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly Coleman flipped his Escalade... Supposedly a deer was involved.Anyway Mora was a total **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla1985 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Is it just me or does this name sound like1. A 70s porn starOr2. The name Fogel would have chosen for his fake I.D. if "McLovin" had already been taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was ended Coleman's time with the Falcons?A season or two after the deer incident, Coleman was at the lake and wiped out on a jet ski tearing his quad or something and that was it for him after that. Unfortunate too because Coleman had the most intense hand violence I've ever seen on a Falcon, he was strong as an ox and could penetrate an OL like a hot knife through butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember Coleman being an absolute beast and a vital part of us leading the NFL in sacks in 2004. It was so fun to have a defense that could get to the QB. Coleman, Grady, Kerney and Smith!! Brady Smith was so unappreciated here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
