Boats return with their catch during the 9th annual Fishing with the Falcons tournament at Lake Lanier on Wednesday, June 8, 2016, in Buford. Wounded military soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan are paired with Falcons players, alumni, coaches and cheerleaders on individual fishing boats for an afternoon of fishing.

In the 62nd episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, we take a flight through the Julio Jones free-zone, discuss the killing off of the Friday Night Lights event during training camp, the wide receiving corps and realistic expectations for rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

Also, the Falcons will have only seven open practices for the fans during training camp. The Vikings (18), the Chiefs (15) and the Ravens (15) have twice as many. The Jets, with not-so-media friendly head coach Todd Bowles, only have three.
