Streetalk: Why are you a dedicated Falcons fan?

Stacey: Even though it’s a tough year, they’re still your team. I’m from Edmonton. Along with my husband, we’re the only Falcon fans in Edmonton. Everyone else are Broncos, Raiders, Seattle and Packers fans. I wasn’t much of a football fan and then in 1999, I watched the Super Bowl. The Falcons were the underdogs, and I’ve been a Falcon fan ever since. I’m not for jumping off-the-wagon to start cheering for someone else. But we’re definitely Oilers fans, not Thrashers. Sorry.
Kevin: My whole thing is tailgating. Even if you lose, you have a great time. I don’t think they’re that bad. A few years from now, they’ll be on top. What I hate is when the other teams’ fans get all painted up and go crazy. Steelers fans come out in droves. They were ripping those towels everywhere last year. We were like, “We don’t have towels.†That’s why, this year, first game, you noticed we had towels. They’re not going to allow that shit to happen again.
Falconi: It’s been a futile endeavor being a Falcon fan, but I’m still here. Sixteen years. They need a guy like me to keep them honest. I call them out. Vick is a punk and Mora was an idiot. Rich McKay should have gotten fired. I always come late to the games and I hear the voices behind me saying, “Thank God, the Falconi is here.†As long as the NFL lets me be Falconi, I’ll rise to new heights. And I have a lot of hope in the new coach, Bobby Petrino.
