The Falcons Hate Winning

Remember last year when the Dolphins traded Chris Chambers to the Chargers and everyone said, "Why the fuck would you trade away your one remaining good offensive player?!" It turns out Mike Smith was actually saying, "I hope when I finally get in a position to run a team that I have the opportunity to piss away my one remaining offensive talent, too!" And look... dreams do come true.

The Atlanta Falcons continued their franchise makeover in earnest on Friday, releasing tight end Alge Crumpler...

There were other players listed there, too, but really the team will not notice their absence. I suppose Wayne Gandy might be missed here and there, much like I miss an umbrella when it's raining. Once in a while I could use it, but really, I rarely ever need an umbrella. But Crumpler... man, that's just dumb. Gruce, you've called his agent already, right? I realize I just advocated keeping Jerramy Stevens on the team, but if you can have all his big play ability with better hands and none of the rape, I say take it.
