Did you guys all see this already? It's good to see that a classy football team like the Saints has a similarly classy group of fans rooting for them. God bless 'em!

NFL London 2009 - this Sunday

Just wondering - I know there are a couple of Falcoholics in the UK besides myself, so are any of you coming to watch the Buccs, our despicable division rivals, get their asses handed to them at Wembley on Sunday?

I wanna see some other Falcons jerseys there, guys! Reprazent, yo!

Southern hospitality...

Hello all,

This Saturday, I'll be hopping on a plane and crossing the Pond to visit your part of the world - a road-trip with some friends around Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, culminating in watching the Bears game at the Georgia Dome on Sunday 18th. I am, of course, ridiculously excited about this.

I've been in touch with tloz and he has been extremely generous with his time and given me lots of good advice. But as he is busy getting married this week, I thought maybe some of you guys could help me out with a little last-minute local knowledge...

So:

The 49ers game on Sunday 11th: we're likely to be somewhere between Chattanooga and Knoxville, TN. Does anyone know of a good bar in the area that might be showing the mighty Falcons?
We have the following activities planned: Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchberg; Dollywood; country music in Nashville; blues in Memphis; Gibson guitar factory; Graceland. Any other must-sees? We'll be coming back from Memphis via Birmingham...
We get back to Atlanta on Saturday 17th. Where should we hang out that night?
Sunday 18th - GAME DAY! I'm hoping to meet up with tloz at some point and have a day of Atlanta-based fun. Are any of you guys in town and/or going to the game? Or do you have any suggestions for cool stuff to do?

Any advice appreciated. Cheers, chaps!

Happy Xmas, y'all!

Yeah, that's pretty much it... it's about half one on Xmas morning in the UK, I'm drunk, and I just thought I'd wish all you Falcoholics a most excellent Christmas.

It's been a great season (my first NFL season, I really lucked out), and let's hope we can go on from here. Thanks to all of you for being awesome, and thanks to the Falcons for being even more super-awesome than you.

Calling all UK & Ireland Falcons fans...

Apologies if someone has already posted this, but:

The Times newspaper has a competition on to win a trip for two to watch the Falcons @ Saints game in New Orleans on December 7th... Looks like it's only open to UK & Ireland residents though. Closing date for entries is November 14th, so get cracking.

(The runner-up prize is sucky though - a bunch of Saints v Chargers merchandise. But if you win that, you could at least have fun ceremonially burning it in your back yard.)
