An Open Letter To The Atlanta Falcons regarding the draft.


Dear Falcons,

my name is Justin Robinson. i am a long suffering fan of your shitty excuse for an NFL franchise. i understand that you have the number 3 pick in this years NFL draft and i was just letting you know that i would really appreciate it if you guys didn't fuck that up like you are inclined to do in most years. last year's draft was a fucking joke (Jamal Anderson and Chris Houston...really?) and so with 4 of the top 48 picks you guys have a lot of making up to do.

now i was really excited about the possibility of the 3rd pick a few months ago. i had visions of Darren McFadden dancing in my head, tearing up the Dome and making us all forget about Mike Vick....but like a bunch of pussies you ended up signing Michael Turner to a long term deal and sending a clear shot across the bow of your fan base that you could give a fuck what we want, we aren't getting McFadden.

and so that is when THE FEAR struck me. and by THE FEAR i mean the nightmares that have me waking in the middle of the night when Atlanta uses the 3rd pick in the draft to select Boston College QB Matt Ryan and sets the franchise back another decade or so. for the life of me i couldn't even begin to understand the fascination in Ryan and honestly it's starting to be a joke how much i blindly hate the kid...because in all honesty if he wasn't on the Falcons' radar then i really wouldn't give a flying fuck what happened to him. but the thought of that guy becoming an Atlanta Falcon is enough to make me switch teams. and i don't mean go gay (which by the way, isn't Todd McShay's love affair with Matt Ryan starting to seem more like a homosexual crush more than a scout thinking a guy is gonna be an NFL star? just saying.) what i mean is if Atlanta drafts Ryan with the third pick then i am no longer going to root for the Falcons anymore. it's a thankless process to begin with...instead i will hitch my loyalties to either the Tennessee Titans or the Jacksonville Jaguars...depending on who i see more games of next season, and then that'll be it. i will break up with the Falcons forever and it would take a Super Bowl run to win me back.

your friend,

justin
