N/S: Atlanta newspaper (AJC) article about Super Bowl choke (1 Viewer)

Couldn't script this any better.

A win would have completed a storybook season in which the Falcons said goodbye to their old Dome Jan. 22 by taking apart Aaron Rogers and the Green Bay Packers, 44-21.

The Falcons hoped to arrive at their new home with a shiny trophy. There could be no finer bottle of bubbly to crack over the prow of the interstellar space ship that is the Mercedes-Benz Stadium than a triumph in Houston.

That vintage will remain untasted.

One thing that interested me was the play of Deion Jones. He was stellar in that game. Makes me sick that the Clowns got him.

I woke up this morning feeling a heartless jerk for reveling the misery of so many people having to suffer through such devastating disappointment. It's pretty sick if you think about it. They're just regular people just like us. Imagine how much this would hurt if it was us.
Then I saw this and LOLed.

If they don't want us bathing in their misery then they shouldn't be Falcons fans.
