I don't keep up with baseball much but I am a big NFL fan. My first sports love was the Denver Broncos. Growing up in the 80s the Falcons were a joke of a team and I had family in Denver that was happy to get me Elway jerseys. Didn't cheer against the Falcons but they were pretty irrelevant. Fast forward to Super Bowl XXXIII. My Broncos were defending champs and back in the big game against.......the Falcons. It was a fun build up and I caught a lot of flack for my Bronco gear but it was a fun week (oh yeah...Broncos won!).
I kind of feel sorry for Falcons fans. They go in to every season with such hope but it never ever pays off for them.
I miss the Thrashers....that was my Atlanta pro team but oh well.
