Do Da Dirty Bird: Previewing Week Two, Falcons V. Panthers
Published on: 17th September, 2009
Looks like the Birds are going to catch the Cats in a weird situation. First, there's the obvious quarterback issues, what with Jake Delhomme imploding how he did on Sunday and A.J. Feeley being signed as the new backup after Josh McCown got hurt. Turmoil at this spot in particular is ...Do Da Dirty Bird: D-Line Looking Like “Giants Lite”
Published on: 14th September, 2009
When it comes to defensive lines in today's NFL, it's safe to say the New York Giants take the cake. There's no doubt in my mind that the Vikings' and Cowboys' units are elite, and as always, Pittsburgh and New England make it into the conversation, but the G-Men's front four won ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Week One Preview—Falcons v. Dolphins

About time the regular season got here. Hopefully you read the last DDDB, which explains my new super-fortunate Falcons situation; I am typing this with my fingers crossed, praying that my luck continues and I'm again in the press box for the September 13 home opener. Just as it's time for the players ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Goin’ Off to the Press Box in the Sky

Although there are many deceased media members who deserve a tribute, this article is not about paying homage to one who's passed on, as the title might suggest. It's basically a "Dear Diary" entry describing a young professional's ascension. Last week, I was lucky enough to be hired to the position ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Shape Up, Secondary
Published on: 30th August, 2009
If it wasn't the linebackers, it was the tight ends. We had holes in our Atlanta Falcons roster, and people liked to point them out. So how about this: We'll add proven vets Mike Peterson and Tony Gonzalez and unleash Curtis Lofton upon the NFL world as our defensive leader. I'd ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Previewing Preseason Game Three, Falcons v. Chargers
Published on: 29th August, 2009
You could say that Preseason Week Three is the most enjoyable week of preseason games, as teams normally run their first-teamers the most in these contests. But at this point, my attitude toward exhibition football has soured. Saying that this is the "best week of the preseason" is like determining which ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Falcon in the Dawghouse

Fear not; the meaning of my triple-entendre of a headline will soon become clear. After all, it does not take the brain of an ESPN talking head to evaluate the preseason stats so far of Falcons QB D.J. Shockley. Against the Detroit Lions, he completed three of eight passing attempts for ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Previewing Preseason Game Two, Falcons @ Rams
Published on: 17th August, 2009
Already time to preview another Falcons game. I tell you what, weekly doses of Dirty Bird ball is just what this writer needed. Of course, this is preseason. And I'm writing previews for these games...maybe I'm a tad bit too excited? It's a pretty silly idea, after all, to try to ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Mano-a-Mano Matchups

It was the NBA that originally hooked me on sports, way back when I was in the third grade. If you want more info on my introduction to competitive athletics, check out my first ever B/R article for a positively heart-warming yarn... But summarizing it is not the point of this ...Do Da Dirty Bird: Oh Yeah, and We Play the Bears and Niners, Too
Published on: 9th August, 2009
Here we sit, one week before the "warmup games" begin. In the editions to date of DDDB, I've broken down our AFC East and NFC East matchups, given you the heads-up on potential breakout players, talked (with myself) about Michael Turner's second-year production, and evaluated the impact of the Harry ...Featured Sponsors
