ATL58 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) In this Yuletide season, I think it’s appropriate and fitting to ponder just what gifts our owner Author Blank would bestow upon his coaches , players, and administrators I have the creative ability of a doorknob but I’d like to hear what our talented posters would come up with.

1989Fan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 It’s Arthur Blank. and I hope he gives the players a great OC and a very short leash. They can’t decide to start playing decent week 8. It was definitely not just a Q problem (as players have admitted) Malachore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefGottaBeef Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hes not Santa...more like the Ghost of Falcon's Future. I see no difference from the Ghost of Falcon's Past, the Ghost of Falcon's Present, and the Ghost of Falcon's Future.

If you sell somebody a car, and three years later the car doesn't run as good as it did when they bought it from you, are you going to just give them their money back? No, you're not. Nor should you. 1989Fan and Faithful Falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualStuff Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 He needs to give Dan Quinn a brain. He needs to give Vic Beasley a heart. He needs to give Dimi some courage. In other words, he needs to become the Wizard of Flaws. PokerSteve and DirtybyrdGA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvinthemartian Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I was kidding. The man’s name is Arthur not Author. Kills me when people are so fast to criticize that they can’t even spell the name right. I’m on your side.

EpicBird Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hi only real obligation as an owner is to the fans. Period. And his record there is, uh, mixed. Best gift to the fans is a team that doesn’t embarrass them on a semi- regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laugh at that sense of entitlement. The Falcons are not a non profit. The fans matter too Blank because his business is making money off them. If the fans stop spending due to the products being subpar, he will do his best to correct it so they spend again. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Falcons are a tough team to own IMO, because the fan base can be so fair weather and anything short of pure dominance they don’t show up. I would much rather own a team w a more dedicated fan base. I applaud Blank for putting so much into a team that goes largely unappreciated by the city they play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And defaulting PSL’s and a half empty stadium for most of the season ain’t good for business. Owning a NFL franchise is about as close to a licence to print money as there is. We’re kidding ourselves if we don’t think pride plays a huge part in an owner’s thinking. You don’t get to be a billionaire without being a hugely competitive person. I’m guessing that AB is seething in private. DQ and TD have been bad for business for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t get to be a billionaire without being a hugely competitive person. I’m guessing that AB is seething in private. DQ and TD have been bad for business for a couple of years. I agree with this. I am saying it’s like any other business. Falcons are a product, fans are the customer. If the product is subpar, people will stop buying. Blank doesn’t owe the fans anything, because they have a choice to buy or not. The thing is Falcons fans are much harder to please than the average NFL customer for some reason. They don’t come to games even when there is a good product. Still not sure why that is, but it’s reality, and something Blank has to live with because of where he chose to invest into and NFL team. as far as the PSLs, I would go after collecting what’s due to the max. It’s a contract people agreed to in good consciousness, and to stop playing because they are being fickle fans is BS. If anyone reading is in this crowd...not sorry.
