Both relieved and a little disappointed we'll never know what Thomas Dimitroff would have traded away if he had this opportunity

In what might have been Tyler Allgeier's final year as a Falcon, he was a touchdown machine. In Bijan Robinson's finest year yet, he was a wizard in cleats yet again A running back review for 2025 www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

Congratulations to our guy @mookiealexander.bsky.social and everyone over at @fieldgulls.bsky.social!

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Will Campbell surrendered 14 quarterback pressures in the Super Bowl. That's the most given up by any player in a single game this season.

Alex Smith talks to Sam Darnold about his journey, Sam talks about how important his parents have been to him

Seattle's just about finished picking the wings and legs off 'em

Me and the fellas watching the big game circled around a big bowl of yogurt we all spoon out of for normal, non-insane reasons.

Falcons may not wait around for the legal process to play out here

The Falcons issued a statement: “We are aware of an incident involving James Pearce Jr., in Miami. We are in the process of gathering more information and will not have any further comment on an open legal matter at this time.”

James Pearce Jr. has been arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking, and fleeing police. @jeannakelley.com has the story, and we'll update as we learn more www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

Adios!

Yesterday was my very first time visiting Oakland, Calif., and I was there to watch Oakland native and NFL legend Marshawn Lynch, race Julian Edelman on golf carts to settle the score from Super Bowl 49. It ruled. www.sbnation.com/nfl/1102436/...

The Falcons were confident they solved their QB conundrum in 2024, but they enter 2026 with a fresh wave of questions and a new regime www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

Don’t know why Boston’s so mad about all this Hall of Fame stuff. You got a guy in. I think that’s enough

Get his ass, Bijan

Just saw the highlight of Austin Hooper’s touchdown against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. It would be nice if NBC doesn’t show it on Sunday

Back off!!!!

WaPo Sports folks: Please email me at [email protected]. I'm on the ground in San Francisco for Super Bowl 60 so may be slow to respond until next week, but we did just post two full-time NFL roles (one covering the Commanders!) and we have some freelance opportunities.

Such a sad and nonsensical decision. I feel for my friends. Sports fans historically are the most passionate consumers of news. For this to happen anywhere, let alone at a place like @washingtonpost.com, illustrates a lack of forethought and basic intelligence. Jeff Bezos, go to hell.

I’ve been through this three times and it’s the most enraging fucking feeling, sitting around waiting to see whether your boss or the media reporter your boss is cozy with will be the first to tell you you don’t have a job anymore and neither do any of your colleagues

Also said the team will "draft, develop, and retain" and signaled a willingness to trade down and get more picks. The Falcons have not done a whole lot of that in...nearly 20 decades?

Ian Cunningham said at his presser "we're going to be a completely different team moving forward," and I for one am going to hold him to that

I'm not

Fritz Pollard Alliance Foundation statement on zero Black head coaches hired for ten openings in this hiring cycle. “Progress is possible when intention is matched with accountability.”

I think we could comfortably slash our exposure to opinions by 99.9% with massive quality of life improvements

The details surrounding Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's firing was puzzling. I break down what I've read, what I've heard, what his track record is and why I think there's more at play than him simply being bad at drafting www.wideleft.football/p/the-kwesi-...

Source: 49ers plan to hire Raheem Morris as defensive coordinator.

I misidentified him here so to be clear, the Arizona Cardinals just hired Mike Lafleur, the coach George Kittle said was always on the recumbent jizz booster bike

It's the year 2056. Klint, Klay, Gary, Katelyn, Kyle, Kyrdo, Kquest, and Kaptain Kubiak all coach AFC teams, while Mike, Matt, Marcus, Mordred, Mildred, and Mickey LaFleur coach NFC teams. Tensions grow between the two families

Falcons to hire Tanner Engstrand as passing game coordinator.

Every mock draft since Kevin Stefanski became Falcons head coach, rounded up by the tireless @saivion.bsky.social www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

The Falcons have hired Alex Van Pelt as their quarterbacks coach. He spent four seasons as Stefanski's offensive coordinator in Cleveland and was Drake Maye's rookie year coordinator, and has worked with Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton, and Baker Mayfield as a QBs coach. Experienced hire

Sports betting and fantasy football have become a ubiquitous part of the NFL. A majority of the respondents to our anonymous player have had fans reach out or confront them about lost wagers and fantasy-league defeats. “People have said they’d kill me.”

BREAKING NEWS: Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein connected New York Giants chairman and co-owner Steve Tisch with multiple women, according to newly released emails.

The Vikings are firing GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, a source tells The Athletic.

All three of Atlanta's key hires this offseason have experienced failure recently, and Matt Ryan knows how the Falcons have fallen short more than most. On the trio and how their past struggles might help them guide the Falcons to a better future www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

The NFL knows it's going to be around after this administration, and that when you're as massive as the league is, all that's really going to happen when you don't do what they want is a bunch of empty talk and tantrums on podcasts Lot of other institutions should have figured that out

As expected, Ian Cunningham is the new Falcons general manager. The now ex-Bears assistant GM will be tasked with building this roster into a winner www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

Obviously Jason Licht has done some good things in Tampa Bay but "scooping up Dirk Koetter before the Falcons could officially fire him" does sort of cast a pall over everything

Another PBU for #Pitt LB Kyle Louis. He came to play today

You'd never catch Kevin Stefanski smiling with his eyes, I know that much

Four Shrine Bowl standouts who @treshon.io has on his radar for a Falcons team that will need to find gems on Day 2 and Day 3 www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

First team period for the National team in the books, few standouts to me: #Baylor WR Josh Cameron #TCU DB Bud Clark #Clemson EDGE TJ Parker #Iowa OL Gennings Dunker

Feels great to finally get to write about some good news. defector.com/heartwarming...

People keep sending me this on the other site so let me just share this here also... The Bucks can certainly ask! But there is a 0.0% chance the Hawks would trade Jalen Johnson AND the Pels/Bucks pick for Giannis right now. Zero. (and I do mean zero)
