Hall is the worlds greatest salesman. He told us he was great and we, the players, the media believed him. He never made big plays for Atlanta. I have watched sports my whole life and he is the most overrated and over paid athlete of all time. He’s not even good, let alone great. I think he sold the players and media on the idea that he stood out on a bad defense, but in the end, he was among the defense’s biggest failures. Im so glad he’s gone, and feel sorry for Raiders front office trying to adjust for his cap hit.

Last night watching MEangelo was one the best things I have ever seen. It some how gave validation to why I hate this guy and all the rest of the Va Tech players the Falcons have drafted. I am so thankful that he is no longer our problem to deal with. If the Coons do not win another game all year it will be just fine with me cause I would rather not win then have that loser on the team.

It was nice to see DHall in that Raiders uniform last night. He was obviously outmatched, and the personal fouls were indicative of his frustration. The Falcons obviously didn’t need his crap last Sunday.

So USC gained points in the polls despite not playing and despite their only opponent thus far, the mighty Virginia Cavaliers could only manage 3 points through 3 quarters against the Richmond Spiders before “pouring it on” with 13 points in the 4th. Where’s the media questioning the impact of USC’s big win at UVA? It doesn’t look very impressive to me anymore. It seems that the only time the pollsters really do their homework when deciding the number 1 team is when it’s not one of the anointed ones in that top spot. Not saying there is a conspiracy, just that there is a definite double standard that is annoying as hell. I’m just glad the polls don’t mean anything at this time of the year.

Rick…you are right on the money. The same could be said for having teams like Georgia, Texas, Florida ranked every single year in the Top 20 regardless or personnel losses. It makes the same ol’ teams always in the top 10 regardless of true capabilities. It would be best in no single poll came out until at least mid-season to give every single team a fair chance at the rankings. If a team starts off ranked it takes several losses to truly get them out of the polls.

MeAngelo and ConVick lovers beware, the world may be wrong. It is our fault they did not succeed here in the ATL. It’s not that neither one of them know how to play a team sport. It’s not their ability to look like fools with their foot in their mouth. It’s not their ability to blame others for their inadequate play on the field. It is not that neither one of them are able to take responsibility for their actions on and off the field or their inability to play at the professional level. It is because we just did not see them as they saw themselves. Or maybe it is because we are racist? I am sure we will find out when TM once again defends MEANGELO AND CONVICK.

I have no problem with USC picking up votes, as long as the new voters shifted from, say tOSU, instead of UGA. I can certainly understand if a pollster had tOSU and USC numbers 1 and 2, respectively, and after the sluggish performance from the Buckeyes, decided to cast their new #1 vote for the Trojans.

The sample size is so small (with teams only having played 1 or 2 games-mostly against patsies) that you have to start ranking teams somewhere with very little information. Is there really a valid argument against having USC #1 right now? or UGA, or UF, etc? No.

The most reasonable thing to do would be to rank the teams after 4 weeks or so, or something more along the same time line that the BCS ranking employs. At least then we have some conference and meaningful intersectional games to use as data.

Alas, this will never happen, so we have to go with what we’ve got.

Just win, and it’s all good.

Go Dawgs!

I am not sold on the Falcons as a team yet. But, I was sold on Coach Smith after he started letting some of the players go. D-Hall was never good here in Atlanta. He gambled alot on defense to pad his INT stats that was the only way he made the Pro Bowl, by padding his INT stats. He was never a good cover corner but for some reason he felt like he was on of the games elite. Last year with a rookie CB on the other side of him it seemed like the game Royal had was a average game against D-Hall. For a few years people made excusses for him saying it was Donatels scheme that made him look bad. No, it was all D-Hall.

Hey, D-Hall apologists - put down the crack pipe, and pull your shorts up over your underwear - your homey just got torched by a Rook. Oh, he says he got “outschemed” - the other team’s quarterback says the Rook was open “again and again and again”. I watched the game - If the “scheme” was to throw at this mouthpiece until he covered someone, then I would agree, D - you got “outschemed”.

Oh,, and this is a surprise - he got 2 15-yd penalites in 3 plays. Of course, if whining was a penalty, he would be the most penalized player in the history of the NFL.

I am not at all surprised by the pathetic play of D-Hall. D’Angelo was vastly overrated and was much more hype than substance. I never could understand how he used to make the pro bowls. It seemed to me that he must have bribed his way into those pro bowl games. As far as skill is concerned, D’Angelo has none and will never be nothing more than someone who talks big but is unable to back it up. Hes a trash talker but his game is equally trash-like and he is a raging idiot who is more a wannabe than anything else. He wants to be great but cannot be because his skills are weak. He is a cancerous, venamous snake and will never amount to anything. He wont be missed in the ATL I can tell you that!

DHall is still running his mouth and talking smack, while getting torched by a rookie WR. Then the classless one gets 2 unsportsmanlike penalties in less than a minute.
