We’re beyond the Super Bowl but not quite to the start of the new league year so it’s a somewhat quiet time in the NFL. Let’s pass the time by talking about the Atlanta Falcons.
Where’s the most random place you’ve run into a Falcons player or coach, and who was it?

You could always tell us about any experience you’ve had meeting a Falcons player (or multiple players if it’s happened more than once) in real life.
I meet everyone through my coverage of the team, so I’m going to go way back and tell a story about my younger daughter (now 26, she was probably eight or nine years old at the time) meeting Arthur Blank for the first time, years before I joined the team at The Falcoholic. It was training camp, Arthur Blank was signing autographs, and some grown man shoved my child out of the way so he could get the last autograph. A staffer told Blank what had happened as they walked back toward the team’s facility, and Blank turned right around, marched back over to the rope, and called us over so he could sign my daughter’s Falcons flag. I sincerely appreciated that. It was early in my Falcons fandom, and definitely helped solidify the love part of my love/hate relationship with this team.
