Super Bowl Power Outage Emails

Desmond Trufant, the newest Atlanta Falcon.

The NFL draft day deal that changed Trufant's life

The celebration began after more than two hours of tense, anxious waiting. Player after player went off the NFL draft board before Desmond Trufant’s name was called.  But when the commissioner finally uttered the words, “… with the 22nd pick in the NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select, Desmond Trufant.”, ...

Are the Birds the best team in the biz?

Right now ... the answer is yes, the Atlanta Falcons make up the best team in the NFL.  Following the third week of the NFL season, only three teams remain unbeaten.  The 3-0 Houston Texans have had just one impressive win  (and none over a team currently with a winning ...
