13-3 isn't good enough. I love it.

So Falcons win NFC South, 13-3, get boatraced by Green Bay. Everybody thinks Falcons take a DE to rush passer to beat Green Bay.

No. 13-3 isn't good enough. We trade up to get Julio. Paid ALOT (we do have 2 2nd round picks next year,)  but we know this......

Arthur Blank isn't settling for playoffs. The Falcons are all in. I LOVE it.

I'm having a good thought for you AJ

Post by William

Let's all have a good thought for AJ Green today. Let's hope he doesn't get drafted by the Bengals- worst organization in the NFL- tonight with the 4th pick. Going to the Bengals would be like going to Siberia. Awful.

Who to draft? This is the toughest choice I have ever seen.

The consensus of CBSSportsline.com, Tony Barnhart and ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper seems to be Cam Newton will be the top pick of the draft, but Kiper is hedging his position and on the last Sports Center did not have Newton in the top 10.

While the kid is a huge talent, the intangibles are troubling.

- His interview with John Gruden did not instill a lot of confidence. When the coach asked him to call a play, Newton had a deer in the head lite look and basically said "Our system was simple and the coaches would just flash a card with play 16 or play 38 on it."

- His Wonder Lik scores have not been made public. Why? If he had aced the test, we would have heard. His agent would have made sure of that.

- Shot gun QBs and spread offenses are not a typical part of your standard NFL offense. Some people make the argument that a play book could be built around an exceptional talent, but what happens when your starting QB gets hurt and misses two games? Plus, can you really pay a player $60-million, then ask him to run over Ray Lewis repeatedly?

So Thursday night Charlotte will make a potentially franchise altering pick. There are near certain talents on the board in Marcell Dareus, A.J. Green, and Patrick Peterson, then there is this charismatic, super talented QB who allegedly asked for $180,000 to play for Mississippi State and stole a lap top.

Will he study his play book? Will he be the first man at work and the last to leave?

If the Panther make the wrong move it could set the team back five years or more. If they pick Newton and he becomes an All-Pro player the team will improve, but in the NFL one player can not carry a team to the Super Bowl.

Has there ever been more on the line for the top spot in the draft? Not that I recall. Sure am glad it ain't my decision.

Anybody REALLY think Tiger is hurt?

Tiger has pulled out of next week in Charlotte and the week after at TPC at Sawgrass  w/sprained MCL and some other ailment. I think I know what's really going on.


He's finally gonna(or already has) suck it up, get his ego out of the way, call Butch Harmon and ask him for help. I think he finally realizes that Sean Foley's swing-the one where Tiger looks like he's trying to tie his arms into a knot- isn't working. IF he does go back to work with Butch, WATCH OUT at US Open at Congressional. He's won his tournament there before.

I'm no Tiger fan but that's the best move he could make right now.

The Uggla truth.

Now that is how the Braves are supposed to play!

You could see the confidence growing as Atlanta swept the defending World Champions in San Fran. Sunday's game was a back and forth slug fest with Jason Heyward homering to give the Braves a lead only to have it taken away by a Buster Posey dinger.

The Hatchets won in extra innings on a Nate McClouth, bases loaded single. So everything is beginning to click.

BOX SCORE

Even the ugly .182 average hanging on Dan Uggla was shined up with his game tying solo shot in the eighth.

Okay the slump was becoming painful to watch. Uggla was obviously uncomfortable at the plate. His .182 average is lowest among the starting line up, and he currently ranks 220th in the National League. His average is the lowest in MLB of all starting second basemen, but lets face the facts, we hired him for the long ball and he has punched 5 so far. The average does need to climb, but Uggla swings... BIG and misses often. But when he connects... he "hits the freaking bull!"

On the positive side he has been to the plate 88 times. Only iron man Martin Prado has more at bats with 94. And oh yeah... Uggla hasn't spiked himself... yet.

Now on to San Diego. You know Ron Burgundy says "the city was discover in 1904 by the Germans who named it after a whale's vagina".

We need to win this series too and close this gap STANDINGS a bit.
