Beating around the bush is a time-consuming, awkward affair so in the interests of not looking like I’m performing an ancestral worship dance around the flowery branch bush, let me be clear: I don’t care how many championships we would have won if Greg Hardy had been an Atlanta Falcon. I don’t want any of them.

As someone who played Dline in highschool I look to Michael Bennett as a really good player and that’s how he garnered my respect. I always thought he was an ass but he could play.

When 6-year-old Riley Johnson visits the Georgia Dome as an honorary team captain for the Atlanta Falcons, he will likely be one of the toughest people on the field.
