The Falcons’ official site has a Q&A up with Justin Blalock. If Vick isn’t in jail, he’ll love having Blalock blocking for him.

Leonard Davis rescues a horse stuck in the mud. Horse was overheard saying, “Damn that’s a big dude.”

Check out all the latest billboards.

A couple of the other OU defenders seeing it coming but the player on the receiving end of the hit was completely blindsided. You’ve got to keep your head on a swivel man. (via)
