FLOWERY BRANCH -- The media embargo finally reached a boiling point for Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon.

Per some ridiculous team rule, Weatherspoon, who's out for the season with an achilles injury, is not allowed to speak to the media. But he's a grown man with First Amendment rights and they -- the Falcons -- don't control his twitter account.

He's one of the team's best interviewers and the media missing him dearly. (He did voice his displeasure to me recently about me continually referring to the defense as 'the 32nd ranked' defense.)
