Never been a Falcon fan but I hope they whip the PATS.

I thought after Peyton retired and the Manning/Brady rivalry ended, that my hatred of NE would gradually fade.  I really didn't think my favorite team would be playing them in the Super Bowl a year later.  So they can STILL go to hell. :bird:

At least for the next couple weeks, the Falcons are America's Team. :biggrin:

I used to really like them when Bartkowski, Andrews and others were there.    :patriot:

That's when I became a fan.  The Falcons were the first sports team I ever actively rooted for.  Probably because they were the only one on TV every week.  We didn't have cable yet, so we never saw the Braves.  College sports coverage was still very sparse, so we hardly ever got to see the Vols.  The Falcons were really the only show in town.

Bartkowski, Andrews, Jenkins, Jackson, Jeff Van Note, and, of course, White Shoes. :clap:

I am not a Falcons fan, but my sister and her family are, so I do root for them when they are not playing a team I like.

And as far as New England goes, who cares if the rivalry with Manning is over?  There is plenty to hate in Beliichek and even Brady without the whole Manning thing.   :nod:
