    Hi, I'm thinking a podcast network called the NFC South Network, would like to know if you or anyone else in the Falcons community would be interested in hosting the Falcons podcast.
    The Saints podcast is already up and running, you can view it at http://www.saintspodcast.webs.com, please contact me ASAP.

    Awesome BLOG Peyton. Various searches over the last year or so brought me by b/r, but your BLOG inspired me to join. Your greatest Falcon games reminded me of the Monday night game week 10 November 19, 1973, Falcons 21-Vikings 14. What an awesome game that was. Bob "General" Lee outplayed Tarkenton that night. Other than the NFC Championship game, your number one choice, my favorite on your list was number 14, the 28-27 win in 1995 over the 49ers. That was a big game, and Bobby Hebert was unbelievable. I listened to that one on the radio Christmas eve playing pool in my sister's basement as it was blacked out in Atlanta. The playoff game against the Packers that year was great, too, even though the Falcons lost. The Falcons held their own in the snow at Lambeau. Thanks for an awesome effort. Not sure where I'll go with my BLOG, but I may start with something on the upcoming season. I think preseason could be pretty brutal this year. Not sure, I think there could be alot of changes to the roster before this season starts. Thanks again...
