Big win in ATL

This is one of the happiest days of my life. Not only for myself, but also for the Falcons owner, the head coach, my teammates, and the city of Atlanta, we needed this win so bad. I've had a lot of nervous energy leading up to today, knowing how much rides on this. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. We spent the pre-season talking about how we were...

While a lot of people were concerned entering the season with a rookie QB in Matt Ryan, there is one thing the Falcons have to feel good about today, that being the running of new feature back Michael Turner. The new Falcons back may be the story of opening weekend as he rumbled past the [...]

Former Detroit Lions RB Tatum Bell has every right to be concerned that his NFL career is in jeopardy following what he claims was a misunderstanding earlier this week when he took new Lions RB Rudi Johnson's bags from the locker room Monday after being released by the franchise. Johnson claims several items are missing, including money, credit cards and underwear. Two NFL personnel...

The Lions are down 21-0 in the first half to the Falcons.  21-0.  Matt Ryan was 4-4 with a touchdown at last check, and new Falcons running back Michael Turner had 117 yards.  Is it possible the Lions suck even worse than I thought?

1. The Ruggedly Handsome Cleft-Chinned Elephant In The Room. Yup, shit happens. And to think, the Pats were an 18-0 juggernaut just seven short months ago and now they are being led by someone who hasn't started a game since high school. How's that 'safe fantasy pick' working out for all you Tom Brady owners now? [...]

"This is a long season — don't be trying to write us off…I'm telling you, we're good. It just didn't show up today. This is a huge wake-up call for us." - Cory Redding So let's just lay this out. Okay Detroit? You're supposed to take this lightly. It's not a big deal. I mean, don't sweat it, your

The Lions with their heads up their butts...

The Lions were beaten by the Atlanta Falcons, 34-21, in the season opener.? The Falcons jumped out to a 21-0 lead after their first three possessions and never looked back.? The Lions did cut the Falcons lead to 21-14 at the half to give fans hope, that was quickly dashed. It was a horrible performance across the board, especially on defense.? Falcons RBs Michael Turner and Jerious...

Cameroon came from behind to trump Cape Verde Islands 2-1 Saturday and become the second country to reach the final African qualifying phase for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The Samuel Eto-less 'Indomitable Lions' joined Nigeria in the third round thanks to [...]

Matt Ryan started his career off with a bang. Connecting for a 62 yard touchdown pass to Michael Jenkins. The ball was thrown before he broke, hit the receiver perfectly in stride, and the Jenkins raced to the endzone. Things stayed at the level of awesomeness for the entirety of the game. I was hoping that the smashmouth philophy/ball control/field position philosophy that was...

Algeria, Libya and Malawi triumphed this weekend to keep alive hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. A three-goal second half burst helped the Desert Foxes of Algeria edge the Teranga Lions of Senegal 3-2 in Blida and take one-point [...]

Hard to believe how the first Sunday played out.? So many different stories to talk about.? One thing I like to look at though are this week's studs and duds.? Sitting and watching 6 hours of football, you start to notice some things.? I watched parts of every single game today, so out of those games,

On the HBO show Hard Knocks they followed the Cowboys around this season, and I thank them for it. With out this little documentary, I would never have known that Roy Williams is Terrell Owens Prankster Nemesis . This is funny stuff. T.O. can not catch a break from Roy .

Your link is here, and it's becoming the opening weekend equivalent of the Lions appearing on Thanksgiving -- national exposure for no good reason, just to ensure that more people can see the team in question as they suck. I'd say more about it, but I think I'd rather go to bed. The Raiders are, really, just that bad...http://fivetooltool.blogspot.com - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back!
