Sorry, but I had never heard of "Dawg" Chapman until the media frenzy of this week. Another celebrity bites the dust by exposing himself as one who uses racial epithets. "Dawg," say hello to Kramer, Jimmy the Greek, Al Campanis, and all of the others who went before.
"Dawg" really screwed up and his attempts at swaying the population via Larry King and Hannity and Colmes fell on deaf ears. I feel for him, because he just committed career suicide. And I know all about that.
Anyway, the jist of tonite's foray is not about any other dawgs, but the birds of prey known as The Atlanta Falcons. They went to Charlotte, N.C. today and dismantled the Panthers. 20-13. And add in New Orleans loss and the Falcons are only "one" game behind in the NFC South standings. This is the time where "Who'd a thunk it" is quite appropriate.
The Falcons began the season in turmoil. Everyone knows the Mike Vick story. And then we've got a new head coach from the college ranks-Bobby Petrino. And everyone knows that hot-shot college coaches can't make the transition to the pros. See Seve "the old ball coach" Spurrier for more details. And we signed a young kid to kick field goals and cut Morten Anderson, the greatest field goal kicker of all time.
The kid had more tattoos than field goals in his brief appearance here. He was fired and Morten Anderson was signed....again. And then the veterans started complaining. Most notably Deangelo Hall and Algie Crumpler. [ an Algie Crumpler-btw-is not a mussel that receives Atlanta's drinking water in nearby Florida, but our all-pro tight end. ]
But, lo and behold, the Falcons won today. And are only a game behind in the standings. I have officially jumped on the bandwagon. And if we keep winning, perhaps we can start filling the Dome again.
So best of luck, Dawg-you'll need it. And to my team, the Atlanta Falcons, Super Bowl, here we come.
I was not pressured nor coerced in any way to write this foray from Arthur Blank. See Home Depot for more details, v.c.
P.S. "bites the dust" is attributed to "Queen." I also see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo....
P.S.S. I offered an invitation to two readers and as of yet have not heard from them? You know who you are.
