Falcons: The Atlanta Falcons lost a close one to the New Orleans Saints last night. Should Mike Smith have given Matt Ryan the chance to win the game, rather than punting and counting on its overworked defense to keep Drew Brees from gaining 10 yards? The math says yes, and so does Braves & Birds. Saints fans are having a great time at Roddy White's expense, non-Falcons fans are starting to get sick of the media's treatment of Brees, and Saints DE Remi Ayodele claimed to have "pissed on" the Falcons logo during a postgame celebration at midfield. Great night for all!
↵Jackets: The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets lost a close one to the Air Force Falcons last night. From The Rumble Seat thinks the Independence Bowl was the perfect picture of the 2010 Tech football season.
↵Thrashers: Forbes ranked Atlanta Thrashers GM Don Waddell among the top 10 NHL general managers. Behind The Net took exception with Waddell's ranking and adjusted the metric, bumping him down from fifth to an apparently satisfactory eighth.
