October 1978
Chris Claremont (author), John Byrne (penciler), Terry Austin (inker), Jean Simek (letterer), Glynis Wein (colorist), Jim Shooter (editor)
The Beast and Jean find themselves stranded in Antarctica. Luckily Jean's frantic attempts to get back underground to rescue the others attracts the attention of a helicopter pilot (I know, I know, it happens anyway) who rescues them. Returning to the mansion, Professor Xavier comes to believe that the other X-Men are dead. But, of course, they're not dead; instead they've wound up in the Savage Land and they too think that the others are dead. After having to deal with the local wildlife, the X-Men stay at a village, where Cyclops realizes he feels nothing after Jean's "death" while Colossus knocks up a local girl (no, really). After going off for a bath, Ororo disappears, and the X-Men soon learn that she's been taken by their old enemy Sauron.
Continuity Notes
Much, much later in Uncanny X-Men Annual #12 we find out that Colossus does sleep with one of the women he walks away with and she does get pregnant with a child, who is named Peter. He never gets referenced again, but I'm always impressed when superheroes leave behind illegitimate children.
Usually I love stories that show the universes of the Big Two to be wild and diverse places, but I''ve never really liked the Savage Land in any of the stories I've read. It's not that I'm against the whole Tarzan riff, but it always seems like the Savage Land is one of those elements that keeps being brought back for its own sake, not because the writers actually have any new stories to tell about it. Worse, this story brings back probably my least favorite villain from the X-Men's Silver Age period, Sauron, who just seems like one of those characters you can't even explain to people who don't read superhero comics ("Well, see, first this guy and his girlfriend were attacked by pterodactyls from Antarctica in Tierra del Fuego...") And this story hasn't really changed my mind.

Superman #75
January 1993
Dan Jurgens (writer and pencils), Brett Breeding (inks), Glenn Whitmore (colors) , John Costanza (letters), Mike Carlin (editor)
While the world watches through Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen's TV reporting, a weakened Superman and Doomsday fight on the streets of Metropolis. Although Superman is exhausted and badly wounded, he refuses to wait for reinforcements, believing he's the only one who has a chance at defeating Doomsday permanently. Finally Doomsday does fall, but so does Superman, who dies in Lois Lane's arms.
When this issue came out, it was a media, if not a cultural, event. I won't say that "death's revolving door" wasn't already an industry cliché or that anyone, even the Powers That Be at DC, weren't at least all but saying that Superman was going to come back sooner or later, but it was practically unheard of for the Big Two to kill off such an iconic, important character. The biggest superhero deaths I can think of before the "death" of Superman were the deaths of Captain Marvel and Barry Allen, but Captain Marvel had pretty much no resonance outside not-casual comic book fans and Barry Allen was even before "Crisis of Infinite Earths" established as a legacy character. So, yes, killing Superman was a cheap, one-shot publicity ploy, but it was a very effective cheap, one-shot publicity ploy, something that's easy to forget nowadays.
Unfortunately, it just didn't make for an interesting story, much less the genre-defining epic it aspires to be. For one thing, the entire issue is composed of splash pages. One would guess it's for establishing a cinematic quality to the comic, but, given the way the rest of the story played out, it's tempting to guess it was just a way to stretch out the conclusion. Jurgens once again tries to raise the gravitas by showing that Superman knows he's in the fight of his life and is essentially sacrificing himself since he's the only superhero who can stop Doomsday, but Jurgens can't quite bring the fight above the level of a brutal fist fight. Plus it doesn't help that over the years Doomsday has basically become a bruiser villain, a problem that haunts all event-villains.
At least Jurgens' art is suitably dramatic and crisp, despite its '90s trappings, and the last panel of Superman dying under a sobbing Lois Lane is actually very powerful, at least to us proud comic geeks. Still, when you compare this to DC's other big event, the breaking of Batman's back, the problems become all the more visible. Of course, the Knightfall storyline had its own issues (which we'll hopefully get to 10 or so years down the road) and like Doomsday Bane eventually lost his effectiveness from overuse by various writers, but at least Bane was a good foil for Batman: an opponent who was an intellectual powerhouse, a physical rival, and driven to an almost psychotic degree. Doomsday, however, is a villain with no personality, no motive, and no connection, even a thematic one, to Superman. I guess you can argue that Doomsday was the Michael Myers of supervillains: pointless destruction embodied in one entity. But Doomsday just never comes across as important. Frankly the only thing that makes Superman's fight with Doomsday feel that important is that Superman just happens to die at the end of it.

Uncanny X-Men #113
September 1973
Chris Claremont (author), John Byrne (penciler), Terry Austin (inker), Gaspar Saladino and (letterer), Mary Titus (colorist), Jim Shooter (editor)
While the X-Men are still infantilized prisoners in his Antarctic base, Magneto conducts a series of raids on research facilities in Australia and New Zealand, stealing equipment. After a failed attempt, though, Storm is able to free herself and the others using a pin from her headress and the skills she learned as a thief in Cairo. Magneto is viciously ambushed by the X-Men when he returns and the fight eventually damages the base, which was located under a volcano, enough that lava begins to flood the chamber. Magneto escapes, as do Beast and Phoenix, but they are left stranded in Antarctica, believing that the others are dead.
Admittedly it is a little hokey for Magneto to have a base in a volcano (besides being very James Bond villain-y, it's so impractical), but the issue is so packed with an effective action sequence and character details it's a small quibble. It's worth pointing out that we're still not quite to the point where Magneto becomes a "tragic anti-hero", but already Claremont has more or less stripped him of much of his "raving megalomaniac" persona.
This is the first time Storm's background as a thief and pickpocket is mentioned. And, yes, she is the only character that really gets a detailed backstory by this point.

Superman: The Man of Steel #19
"Doomsday Is Here!"
Louise Simonson (writer), Jon Bogdanove (pencils), Dennis Janke (inks), Glenn Whitmore (colors) , Bill Oakley (letters), Mike Carlin (editor)
Superman catches up with Doomsday at a construction site in Metropolis. He tries to carry Doomsday into outer space, but Doomsday escapes his grip. Now on the streets of Metropolis, Doomsday happens to come across the imprisoned Warworlders, who assume that Doomsday was sent to save them but instead he kills most of them. Supergirl, Cadmus' soldiers, Dan Turpin, Maggie Sawyer, and Professor Hamilton (armed with a giant laser, of course) join the fray, but to no avail. Superman vows that Metropolis will be where he will "hold the line."
I don't know what else to say by this point, so I'll just reiterate what I've been pointing out from the beginning: it's all just one long action scene, it's five times longer than it needs to be, and it's cross-franchise "event" storytelling at its worst. I will say that Louise Simonson does turn out the most interesting chapter so far, but she does benefit from being able to throw more of Superman's supporting cast into the mix. Maybe the story suffers from knowing where it's headed, but honestly the whole thing just reads like a really lackluster Superman/Incredible Hulk crossover (if the Hulk normally slaughtered innocent people).
At this point the Guardian was an agent of the Cadmus Project (which happened to be headed by the former Newsboy Legion). As you might guess, Dubbilex is one of Cadmus' creations.
Page 15, Panel 1 - What's up with Supergirl?! Well, this version of the character was a "protoplasmic matrix" created by a Lex Luthor from a parallel Earth to fight off a trio of Kryptonian criminals. After said criminals ended up destroying her homeworld regardless, she returned with Superman. Also the reason Lex Luthor is attracted to her - and is pretty obviously creasing the sheets with her on a daily basis - is because the other-universe Lex modeled her after his number one love, Lana Lang. And hopefully that's the most I'll ever have to write about the hellishly complex history of post-Crisis Supergirl(s).

Uncanny X-Men #112
"Magneto Triumphant!"
Chris Claremont (author), John Byrne (penciler), Terry Austin (inker), Bruce Patterson (letterer), Mary Titus (colorist), Jim Shooter (editor)
The X-Men prepare to fight Magneto, but that idea is quickly vetoed when they discover that Magneto is using his powers to fly Mesmero's office/caravan. Magneto denies being involved with Mesmero's scheme, claiming that he never even met him before, and says he would have freed the X-Men from Mesmero's brainwashing if the Beast didn't do it for him. Unceremoniously Magneto ejects Mesmero from the caravan, stating (rather unconvincingly) that Mesmero will land on the ground virtually unharmed. When the caravan lands, the long-awaited battle begins, but only Jean proves to be a match for the rejuvenated Magneto and her powers give out at the worst possible moment, as if she hit an absolute limit. Later the X-Men find themselves strapped to mechanical chairs, unable to speak and barely able to move, and being tended to like infants by a robot named - and looking the part of a - Nanny.
Really I think this is where the Claremont/Byrne run really hits the ground running, in terms of both the art and the writing. The design for Nanny is quite inspired, like something out of a Douglas Adams novel, and Byrne at his best can draw one fantastic action scene. And while it is a cliche to praise a superhero comic from the pre-"Watchmen" era by referring to any "dark" and "mature" turns, there is something really striking about how it's basically a story about the good guys being kidnapped and brutally tortured by a villain - and not so they wouldn't be around to stop their latest evil scheme, but just out of pure hatred. Plus Magneto's idea for vengeance is downright disturbing, even in an era when mutilation and sadism in superhero comics are de rigeur.
It's been pretty obvious since the "reboot" that, apart from Magneto, Jean, and Cyclops, Claremont wasn't all that interested in the X-Men's Silver Age adventures, so it's a little off-putting when the continuity is referenced here. Anyway, the big deal is that originally Magneto was working with Mesmero in X-Men #48-51 in a convoluted plot to raise a mutant army and get Lorna Dane/Polaris to believe that she was Magneto's long-lost daughter (decades later, she actually does turn out to be Magneto's biological daughter, but that's another story...), but a retcon in #58 showed that the Magneto from that story was a robot - with no explanation. As happens more often than you might think in comics, "The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #7" wrote the whole thing off as a scheme by Starr Saxon and called it a day.

Action Comics #684
December 1992
"...Doomsday is Near!"
Roger Stern (writer), Jackson Guice (pencils), Denis Rodier (inks), Glenn Whitmore (colors) , Bill Oakley (letters), Mike Carlin (editor)
After recovering, Superman tracks Doomsday to a highway where he saves a driver whose car has been thrown into the air. Doomsday carries his rampage to a Lex-Mart where he learns about Metropolis from a TV ad about pro-wrestling (no, really). Meanwhile from a helicopter Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen start reporting on Superman and Doomsday's fighting from a helicopter. The brawl happens to erupt onto the mountain base of the Cadmus Project, where Superman is buried under some debris. Before he can get out, Doomsday reaches Metropolis.
This issue is treading water, and worse it's obvious, especially once the story ends with Superman just getting knocked out again and Doomsday moving on. Roger Stern does try to give the story some weight by focusing on the tragic toll Doomsday's rampage is making, and by presenting a more compassionate (and true to the character) Superman than Dan Jurgens, but there's just no getting around that this is a story stretched out of proportion by the need to have an installment in every title in the "Superman" franchise. (Cool cover, though!)
I forgot to mention, but it's all but clearly established in this storyline that Metropolis is on the East Coast, somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic region or in the northeast. (It's funny, I always thought of Gotham City as being on the East Coast while Metropolis is in the Midwest).
I should also mention...the bearded, long-haired, Australian guy running around? That's Lex Luthor. See, he developed terminal cancer (from, in a brilliant twist, radiation poisoning caused by kryptonite), so he faked his death, placed his mind in the body of a clone, and passed himself off as his own illegitimate son.
Page 6, Panel 1 - Doomsday and Superman's next fight takes place in Midvale, which is actually a part of Superman continuity; it was the hometown of the Silver Age Supergirl. And since the last issue stated that Superman was tracking Doomsday through Ohio, this Midvale may also be the real-life Midvale, Ohio (sadly the city authorities have yet to take advantage of this by launching a "Hometown of Supergirl, But Not The Current One, We Think" campaign). Also, for those of you interested in DC Universe geography, the issue also establishes that Metropolis is roughly less than 100 miles from Midvale, which, if we accept the implication that Midvale is in Ohio, puts Metropolis either elsewhere in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or Kentucky. Phew!

Uncanny X-Men #111
April 1978
Chris Claremont (writer), John Byrne (pencils), Terry Austin (inks), Mary Titus (colors), Tom Orzechowski (letters), Archie Goodwin (editor)
In Texas, the Beast finds the missing X-Men, who are performing in a carnival with Banshee as the carnival barker, Cyclops as a guard, and the other X-Men as performers and "freaks." The Beast tries to talk to Jean Grey, who doesn't recognize him and calls herself "Miz Destiny", but he only succeeds in getting beaten up by Cyclops, Colossus, and the rest of the hired muscle. The Beast is dragged before the party responsible, Mesmero, who is out for revenge for the time the X-Men defeated him. However, the chaos briefly caused by the Beast is enough to bring Wolverine out of Mesmero's mind control, and he promptly breaks the others from their trances. Converging on Mesmero's trailer, they find that he's unconscious - and sitting at his desk is Magneto.
For some reason I always think about this issue or the "Dark Phoenix Saga" when the topic of the Claremont/Byrne run comes up. At the very least this issue does have a great set-up; we cut straight to the Beast discovering the X-Men in a carnival/freak show and having to find out who's behind it. Aside from bringing back and refining the character of Magneto, Claremont didn't really tap into the X-Men's Silver Age rogues' gallery for a reason, but the use of Mesmero here is quite a nice twist, as is the final reveal at the end. It's the sort of thing that makes superhero comics - or any good serial genre, really - so much fun.

How to Deal With Thick, Curly Hair
Do you feel sad that you don't have nice, straight, or choppy hair? Do you wish that curly hair was cool again? Well, who cares if your hair is curly! You can make your hair the best gorgeous in its own beauty!!
1If you want your hair to be short, cut it to about your shoulders (when straight). If you want your hair long when curly, grow it out to about the middle of your back.Ad
2Layer it, but not too short. If you layer your hair too short, it will be very hard to tie it up without two thick bundles of locks dangling next to your face.
3Use products suitable for your hair type. Don't ever blow dry your hair. This causes your hair to be frizzy.
4Use conditioner! After shampooing and rinsing, apply a handful of conditioner on your head or apply enough conditioner to your hair to cover it all over. When applying, scrunch your hair with conditioner. Leave in for 2-5 minutes. Then tousle or shake your hair. Comb through with a wide toothed comb. This will help individualize the hair strands.
5Don't blow-dry your hair too often. Try to allow it to dry naturally. When the hair is damp, apply a small amount of moose or anti-frizz spray on your hair. Try to reach each under the hair to because it can get frizzy there too!Ad
Are you an expert on building muscle?
If so, share what you know about how to increase upper body strength.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Give your hair a break from heat. Too much heat can lead to dry hair, split ends, dandruff, and even discoloration of hair.
- You hair will be much healthier if left natural and not too many heat products and products are used on it.
- A lot of men and women do not have a strong preference towards straight or curly hair when it comes to dating; touchable hair is touchable hair. For maximum appeal, keep your hair as soft and touchable as possible. That means limit the crunchy gels and invest in a good leave-in conditioner.
- If you have dandruff, use anti-dandruff shampoo such as Head and Shoulders along with other products.
- Be proud of your gorgeous, big hair! You have hair that's individual and among the more rare hair textures. You have the options of gorgeous natural curls of straightening your hair.
- Good products for curly hair include: Herbal Essence "Tousle Me Softly" shampoo and conditioner, Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz spray, and many Bed Head and Redken products

3.07 & 3.08 (ft. the marvelous tom branson)

THIS IS PAINFUL AS FUCK. I'm so sorry, Tom. I love you.

After the flood
Half a year on, scientists are starting to understand the ecological impact of Pakistan's devastating floods – and it's a mixed bag. Zofeen T Ebrahim reports.
Five months ago, floods triggered by torrential rains submerged one-fifth of Pakistan, killing 2,000 people and destroying the property, livelihoods and infrastructure of millions. Now, the waters have receded – and with them the media's attention. But for many environmentalists, like Ghulam Akbar, senior director at WWF, work has only just begun.
Bangladesh and Pakistan: Case Study: Genocide in Bangladesh, 1971
I'm not going to go into this too much right now. Maybe at some other point.
At least 3 million Bengalis were killed (mass killings) during the independence from Pakistan, via acts of genocide.
The mass killings in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in 1971 vie with the annihilation of the Soviet POWs, the holocaust against the Jews, and the genocide in Rwanda as the most concentrated act of genocide in the twentieth century. In an attempt to crush forces seeking independence for East Pakistan, the West Pakistani military regime unleashed a systematic campaign of mass murder which aimed at killing millions of Bengalis, and likely succeeded in doing so.
At Hariharpara, a once thriving village on the banks of the Buriganga River near Dhaka, they found the three elements necessary for killing people in large numbers: a prison in which to hold the victims, a place for executing the prisoners, and a method for disposing of the bodies.
As was also the case in Armenia and Nanjing, Bengali women were targeted for gender-selective atrocities and abuses, notably gang sexual assault and rape/murder, from the earliest days of the Pakistani genocide. Indeed, despite (and in part because of) the overwhelming targeting of males for mass murder, it is for the systematic brutalization of women that the "Rape of Bangladesh" is best known to western observers.
In her ground-breaking book, Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, Susan Brownmiller likened the 1971 events in Bangladesh to the Japanese rapes in Nanjing and German rapes in Russia during World War II.
"… 200,000, 300,000 or possibly 400,000 women (three sets of statistics have been variously quoted) were raped. Eighty percent of the raped women were Muslims, reflecting the population of Bangladesh, but Hindu and Christian women were not exempt. … Hit-and-run rape of large numbers of Bengali women was brutally simple in terms of logistics as the Pakistani regulars swept through and occupied the tiny, populous land …" (p. 81).
Read more (and photos) @ Gendercide Watch: Genocide in Bangladesh, 1971
My mother was old enough to remember seeing the heads of Bengali men, cut off and paraded around on sticks. Her side of the family was constantly hiding, for those in positions in what Bengalis consider power (those educated) were considered a threat. My grandfather, a well-known Professor, was included in this.
My fathers' family had moved back from England that year, on a whim because my grandfather missed Bangladesh. 1971, the year of the bloodshed. My father saw his uncles' throat get cut by someone they had known, a traitor.
We are so completely privileged growing up here in North America.
Inner-city gang-fights may be, but we are not directly involved in country-wide warfare, where you constantly fear for your life.
You fear of exposure of your ethnicity, your religion, your gender. Nowhere to hide.
Of course there are exceptions. But not everyone is the exception.
But does that excuse Bangladesh' brutal military government today? Does that mean we will not donate to Pakistan's flood relief? No and no.
Times change. Every country has a history. Some of them have fairly brutal histories. Just because you acknowledge that there are atrocities going on in the world today does not mean you are forgetting, or negating the past. Nor is it, or should be, an excuse for the removal of human rights today. Otherwise, the human race- with our globalized capacity for war- really is doomed.
I remember hearing once that bengalis have a deep-seated animosity towards pakistanis but i never understood why. it's obvious i don't know my bengali history at all, and i will definitely look into all this more later, as should all of you.
Pakistan floods: survivors pick up the pieces of their lives
Didar Gul has a single picture of his daughter Salma, a small, faded one attached to her green identity card. But at least he has that. There is no picture of Nazia, Salma's sister, who died with her, swept away in a raging torrent. Mr Gul's small trove of family photographs was carried away, too - together with the few possessions produced by a lifetime's struggle. That day, Mr Gul was working at his little stall, a short distance away on the main road. The rains were pounding and he asked one of his sons to check on the house, where his wife and Nelam were preparing food. "It was three o'clock in the afternoon and I came and the water was flowing through the sugarcane. I went into my home and my daughter Nelam was up to her neck in water, caught inside the house. The water was beginning to cover her. She was injured – it had gone inside her body.
"The water was so very high, and fast. It was lucky that I came in time - if I had come in another two or three minutes I would have lost my wife and another daughter." It was only the next day that he learned the fate of Nazia and Salma. "The water was so high that we could not contact our family. I sent one of my sons to see how Nazia and Salma were. My son came back and said: 'Father, my two sisters have died'.
"When the water level was increasing the police came and warned people to move to a higher place. Salma and Nazia started to move but the water rose and Salma was caught by it. She was crying: 'I'm drowning, I'm dying'. Nazia took a hand to her to pull her out but she was dragged into the water. They were swept away." Three days later the bodies of the two sisters were found, half a mile downstream.
Just to let you know
It is disheartening in a way but we do not mean to imply any ungratefulness here - yet here are the present statistics.
The commitment per person after the 2005 Pakistan earthquake was $70 and for this year's Haiti earthquake $495, whereas this time that works out at just over 3 dollars per flood affected person! And this all said when as per UN this is the worst calamity to hit Humankind anywhere; more than even if Earthquake of 2005, Indian Tsunami and Haiti combined.
Just so that you know the numbers. But even then thank you everyone who has made a donation or helped spread the word.

It's perfectly possible to make very high quality recordings at home with today's computer technology.
The type of microphone that you choose should be decided by its application – Live or Studio. Beyond that, trying out as many different microphones as you can to find the one most suited to your voice and style of music is the best way to find the best vocal microphone for you.
When people decide they want to become a singer is that they simply don't know what to do next.

San Francisco Students Get A Rare Peek At School Life, 100 Years Ago
On Wednesday, January 26th, some lucky students from San Francisco's Cleveland Elementary School were witness to a once-in-a-lifetime event - The opening of a 100-year old time capsule, left by former students of the school.
The existence of the battered copper box, which had withstood the ravages of the century rather well, was discovered by 69-year old alumni, John Weidinger whilst he was reading some archived newspapers at San Francisco's Public Library.
According to the article, the capsule had been encompassed inside a wall behind a mural in the school compound. Since both mural and the wall are still intact, the principal decided to look for it - Sure enough, it lay exactly where it was supposed to be.
The workers, carefully extracted the box and last week, the whole school, along with some curious city officials waited with abated breath, as the box was opened - And, they were not disappointed!
In the 100-year capsule lay some books, a schedule of teacher salaries during that era, a letter addressed to the Mayor of San Francisco written by his 1910 counterpart and, most exciting of all, photos of the kids who attended the school during the time.
There was also a letter from one of the students, which amongst other things stated that thanks to the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Cleveland Elementary School was the only standing structure on the street. However, the writer was optimistic that by the time the capsule was found, the street would be lined up with mansions.
While Athens street is not lined up with mansions, it sure has become a great neighborhood with some really cool homes and of course, a great school - reputed to be amongst the best, in the city of San Francisco.

Nostalgic Trip #3
Remember this old-timey horror show? If you're a child of the early 90's like myself, there's a good chance that you do. I started watching this show when I was only about 7 or 8 years old, and God, was it ever freaky. Honestly, I'm not even entirely sure if the show's target audience was for children or younger youth, but I watched it nonetheless.
If you're unfamiliar with the show or have forgotten it, it always began with this creepy ass intro that will make you crap your pants. Each episode basically started out with a group of teens who call themselves the Midnight Society (what a cheesy name), gathered around a campfire in some neck of the woods. The members of the group would take turns narrating a horror story, a tale that would last for the duration of an episode. Then each episode would end off with a member of the group (I remember the dorky guy with glasses doing it a lot) dousing off the campfire with a bucket filled with water, leaving you with shivers as you wonder what the hell you just watched.
I think one of the most chilling episodes that I remember from the show would probably be the one with the clown. CLASSIC episode. I get goosebumps (unintentional reference to the other horror show) just thinking about that episode as I type this. Obviously, clowns in any horror show or movie are generally pretty scary, but when you're young and watching this show with this freaky ass clown, it's going to leave you with some bad memories and nightmares.
If anyone is interested, a Youtube link to this particular episode can be found here (The Tale of Laughing in the Dark: Parts 1/2/3), sans the intro. Good times.

Shaw named superintendent of utilitiesPublished 12:34pm Wednesday, November 21, 2012
The city council voted 5-1 Monday to name Mayor Charles Shaw as superintendent of utilities for the City of Alexander City.
District 6 Councilman Tony Goss was the sole vote against the measure.
The ordinance calls for Shaw to be paid a monthly salary of $1,250 to serve in the position.
The council also unanimously approved a 25-year lease for the Alexander City Horse Riding Club at the Sportplex. The ordinance states, "the Alexander City Riding Club is willing to construct a riding rink and allied facilities upon such portion of unneeded real estate as may be designated by the city for use as a riding rink … and pay to the city 10 percent of all net proceeds derived from all events staged at said riding rink."
The ordinance also requires the club to maintain liability insurance and frees the city of liability should damage or injury occur on the property.
Another ordinance unanimously supported by the council was to exempt covered items from municipal sales and use tax for Alabama's State Severe Weather Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday, which is set for February 22-24, 2013.
Council members also declared an emergency for the Light Department in light of the department's lack of a bucket truck.
According to the ordinance, an older bucker truck "scheduled for replacement this year … was recently inspected, and it was determined that it would take approximately $30,000 in repairs to get this vehicle certified," which department heads felt would not be a fiscally responsible way to use city funds.
The ordinance went on to detail that another bucket truck is out of commission since it was involved in an accident.
The department has located a new bucket truck, which currently has a purchase price of $162,948. Council members approved the purchase of that truck in an amount not to exceed $173,000.
The council also unanimously voted to purchase a new vehicle for the mayor's office, as the one initially assigned to former Mayor Barbara Young is currently in use by the clerk's office. Cost was designated to be no more than $18,000.

As Falcon fans know all too well, taking a defensive end in the first round can be a very risky proposition. The learning curve for defensive ends appears to be one of the deepest in the NFL for players making the jump from College to Pros, at least in their rookie years. In fact, since 2002, 71% of 1st round defensive ends had less than 5 sacks and 58% of 1st round defensive ends had 2 sacks or less. The Jacksonville Jaguars just paid pretty big money to DE Aaron Kampman a few days ago after drafting Derrick Harvey in the first round and Quentin Groves in the second round. If the Falcons guess right, they could snag the next Julius Peppers or Dwight Freeney, but they could just as easily take the next Michael Haynes, Jerome McDougal, or…….well you know. A look at some of the big names being mentioned for the Falcons at pick number 19 and their Scouting Combine performances:
40 Time: 4.69 – Bench Reps: 19 – 16.5 Tackles for Loss – 6.5 Sacks
Pierre-Paul has been shooting up the draft boards since his senior season and is the prototypical defensive end that general managers are looking for with size and speed. He attended a junior college his first two years and really only had one year worth of work. Seems to be a major project and could struggle mightily adjusting to the pro level. 19 reps for bench is beyond low for a potential defensive end. Probably will be gone by #19 anyway.
40 Time: 4.72 – Bench Reps: DNP – 18.5 Tackles for Loss – 12.5 Sacks
40 Time: 4.72 – Bench Reps: 31 – 26 Tackles for Loss – 10.5 Sacks
By far the most popular pick in the vast majority of mock drafts scripted in the last month. Graham has been the model of productivity and consistency at the University of Michigan, two traits Thomas Dimitroff craves. TD is keen on taking players that are leaders and have shown a high level of consistency in their entire college career instead of just a one year wonder. Many believe this is a perfect match. Graham was named MVP of the Senior Bowl after posting a multiple sack performance against some of the best college tackles. Many believe he would be better suited as an OLB in the 3-4 defense (one of draft experts favorite categories). The Falcons will be considering him solely as a defensive end. A little on the short side, but totaling almost 30 sacks in just 2.5 years as a starter at Michigan playing in the Big Ten can't be questioned. Graham matches up with Dwight Freeney's measurables almost exactly.
40 Time: 4.66 – Bench Reps: 32 – 9.5 Tackles for Loss – 8 Sacks
Griffen is becoming the new favorite dark horse pick for the Falcons by some draft experts. The defensive end from Southern California had a fantastic combine with his super fast 40 time and bench reps to go along with his prototypical defensive end size. Has all the measurables and likely pushed himself into the first round with a very good combine. Griffen had good sack numbers as a junior, but nothing off the charts, particularly his tackles for loss (9.5) compared to Brandon Graham's (26). Stats obviously aren't everything, but decent numbers from the Pac 10 may not translate the way other conferences do. Another junior defensive end that may be a risk.
40 Time: 4.71 – Bench Reps: 21 – 10.5 Tackles for Loss – 9 Sacks
Dunlap has the size for a defensive end that general managers crave: big, tall, and fast. Dunlap hails from one of the most defensively talented teams in all of college football and was a core member of that team. Had good sack numbers, posting almost double digit sacks his sophomore and junior years in the SEC, which is no small feat. Dunlap surely has all the measurables to be great at the next level, but questions began to run rampant on character and work ethic after he had a very public DUI the week of the SEC Championship. A junior defensive end that will likely need time to grow and needs to be in the right environment to succeed. Of all the potential first round defensive ends, Dunlap appears to be the biggest risk. 21 bench reps is extremely low for a supposedly big and powerful defensive end.
Most Falcons fans had a good idea which cornerback would be highest on the shipping block when #1 CB Dunta Robinson was inked. Chris Houston has been the ire or many fans since his rookie year with his inability to make plays on the ball. He certainly possesses all the skills needed to be a good cornerback in the NFL, but his trouble making plays on the ball is ultimately what punched his trade card. It was evident early on that Houston may have trouble in the season when both San Diego QBs picked on him all night in the main preseason game against the Chargers, particularly on 3rd and long.
Perhaps the expectations on Houston were too high since he was counted on to be the #1 cornerback pretty much from the beginning. He had his ups and downs, but he had a big chance to prove he was the guy this year and came up short. Some thought he may could compete for the 2nd CB spot or even the nickel, but Owens, Grimes and Williams will be fighting for that spot. Thomas Dimitroff gained yet another draft pick for April, which raises the likely total to 9. Imagine the possibilities. Best wishes to Chris Houston and thanks for his time as a good teammate and person in the community.

Like Graham…we probably have a better chance at landing him. Morgan will be gone, ditto JPP. If all were available probably Morgan. Dunlap will be good for somebody…but can he stand up to the TD Character Test?

NO he won't, Didn't anyone watch the Seinor Bowl? Dude was awesom!
March 9th, 2010

DePlane – I know on T.O. I feel the same way, but the pure prospect of his playmaking would be intriguing. Too bad the personality has to come with the player. We do need a significant playmaker opposite Roddy though. Ultimately, I trust in what TD does, but I'm really gunshy of a DE in the 1st, particularly a junior DE. If we go DE, I say we go with Graham, who has been extremely productive and consistent as a college player. Two things TD loves.
Which Combo? – Seemingly, if we were to go OLB 1st than DE 3rd or DE 1st than OLB 3rd, I suppose its a matter of which has the potential best value. Would you rather have Weatherspoon at OLB and Brandon Lang at DE or Brandon Graham at DE and Eric Norwood at OLB? As much as I would hate to admit it, the latter looks better on paper.
March 9th, 2010
11:01 pm
Nice post D3, lots of brain candy served up:
A) NO to TO, if not just my idea then incomprehensible based on what TD has said/done in his tenure. Totally against his MO, and he is the one making the choices after all. Overpaid, overhyped DON"T NEED OVERHERE!!
B) I voted Graham out of the choices listed, although I suspect unless someone unexpected falls to 19 the pick could well be traded down a bit at the last minute so another team can jump for Spiller of one of the top two CB's, or even Mays – IF one of those marquis names is still on the board.
Why Graham if a DE is selected? Consistency, productivity, aggressiveness that translated into sacks and TFL's. He is also versitile, which allows Bierman or Sidbury to come in for passing situations and mask where the rush is REALLY coming from (recall the packages last year where Abrham was dropping into coverage). Graham has the measurables AND the intangibles that TD looks for in any round, and he would compliment the existing talent.
March 9th, 2010
11:12 pm
We can cross our fingers but Graham will be gone by #19. Please let it go. If I'm wrong I will be happy, don't get me wrong. He could be our new Kerney.
March 9th, 2010
11:28 pm
yesssss… We can talk about DE's…. D3…You are coming to the DE side now…lol…. But yea.. I want to touch on a couple of your topics
If we go DE… Derrick Morgan as to be the#1 choice but he will be long gone…. The main 2 guys i really like is Brandon Graham and Everson Griffen…. I know allot of you are look at the senior bowl and"aww "over Graham but i throw that game completely out… Like a GM said in an article that i read…. basically… The talent at the senior bowl was lacking.. He said less then 25% of the guys at that game will actually get drafted… 2 of the guys Graham dominated (Selvish Capers and Chris Scott) are 4th and 5th round O-Line.. I put more stock into the DT's because they faced the top Guards and Centers in the draft
Anyway… Brandon Graham don't need the senior bowl on his resume… I seen this guy completely destroy Iowa LT Bryan Bulaga (#2 rated LT in the draft…potential top 10 guy)… I mean Graham just destroyed Bryan Bulaga and Kyle Calloway when Michigan faced Iowa…He also dominated Wisconsin whom will have a 1st round OT next year… The thing i like most about Graham is that he was consistent…. The guy consistently improved his stats each year… He may not have the highest ceiling but the guy does not have a bust floor…. He will give you everything he has
I wasnt that high on Everson when i purely looked at his stats but when i looked at a couple of his games…. Dude can be a monster with the right Coaching…. He has all the physical tools you look for in a DE.. The guy is fast, strong, and a quick first first step…. With that said he has to improve the way he use his hands and he must have a D-Line coach that will stay on his ass…lol.. I think he loves the game of football and want to be great but it seem like he has that already arrived type attitude… dudes like that can get a sack then get complacent in a game and just disappear…… Everson Griffen can potentially be a dominating LDE which is really really rare… I think Coach Hamilton can help him get there.
D3.. Dealing with the draft picks…. Take a look at this…
It can go either way tho… Dude is normally dead on tho.
Man i really had high hopes for Chris Houston… I felt like he showed signs his rookie year… Then in 2008 he showed even more signs of improving and getting better… But last year he just regressed… It seem like he lost his confidence after that Chargers preseason game.. He was not the physical aggressive type CB that Coach Smith wants… Best wished to CH tho… He has the talent
Its interesting that you brought up getting another WR (TO) … Anquan Boldin said we was one of the teams that showed interest in him.
TO is not the best idea but i definitely think we will draft a mid-round WR… I don't think the FO or Coaching Staff is 100% satisfied with Michael Jenkins (Remember the Peter King quote) ….

Late night check in with the cagers,
Deplane, its hard getting anyone on the Spiller train, trust me I have tried for weeks, but I agree he will be long gone, also glad to see you figured out that overall this is just a good blog, we brawl here and there, we miss a post here and there but its all family in the cage.
Coop, classic come back, hate I wasn't around to respond sooner, nothing wrong with a little maintenance here and there, we're worker bees, we pollenate for a while to give the hedges time to grow, then we tear them down and sting a few dogs pissing up the wrong tree in the process,LOL, going to be a great season.
JJ, oh your commenting on my post again I thought the brotherly love was gone you hater (j/k), I like Spoon myself and would hate for him to land with the Saints, but none of it matters if the Falcons lose Ryan, if a Bulaga,Williams or Spiller slip to the Falcons it would be a great injustice not to take one of them over the D, its a process, during the Process you have to protect and help your franchise continue to build, lossing your franchise QB starts the process over, lossing or not obtaining a OLB, DE, or DT only continues the process.
Nookah, I am a Ford fan but don't let the blazing speed fool you, Ford has absolutely no quickness, straight line speed, check, making someone miss, yeah right. But I still like him for the fact that he can stretch a defense much the same as Alvin Harper did for the Boys back in the day, Harper couldn't make anybody miss but they had to catch him first, same goes for Willie Gault from the 85′ Bears.

Interesting link on the comp picks ATLJBO, thanks. He thinks that Atlanta only gets two comp picks because of the Brett Romberg signing (who I had assumed was below the level to cancel out a comp pick), a 3rd and 5th.

Bangkapi… He said Brett Romberg may not count… it depends on the threshold…. I personally dont think he will count against us…. I think we will get a 7th round comp for Grady Jackson

lol @ Morgan playing in the "tough ACC"…D3 you're too smart to believe that. BTW, I think Graham would be great at DE, but I believe our biggest issue is LB, WR, DE & OL in that order. Sean Weatherspoon from Mizzou still seems like the best pick available based on our needs.
Any word on if we go after a veteran WR like Laverneaus Coles?

If going for a DE, I'd take Graham. Griffen is tantalizing, Dunlap reeks of boom or bust, we don't have time for all that.
Griffen doesn't do what Graham has done. Does he exude urgency? Pierre Paul is unproven, but then again so was Clay Matthews, and he did GREAT when he hit the League. Does Pierre Paul have the same level of urgency and work ethic? Not sure.
Going with Graham if DE is the pick.
Don't rule out a DT, especially in the third round. We're way too shaky at that position. OLB has as much of a chance in the 1st round as anything else. Weatherspoon is the likely pick.
March 10th, 2010

For those of your that says LB is a need… Guys like 6′4 246lbs.AJ Edds (3rd or 4th round) , 6′0 232lbs .Simoni Lawrence (4th or 5th round), 6′2 243lbs Thaddeus Gibson (3rd round) , and 5′11 235lbs Rennie Curran (3rd or 4th round)… I saw reports saying that we interviewed all of these guys at the combine.
I like Sean Weatherspoon and would be cool with us drafting him (very happy) but there are other talented LB's that fits our scheme in the 3rd or 4th rounds.
I cant think of a DE with Griffen or Graham type talent in the 3rd or 4th round.

I'm honestly starting to lean towards an upgrade for the DL in one of two ways. Where we need help on the D-Line is up for debate. Some feel we need a DE, others feel our immediate need may be to secure the DT spot. Regardless of which way you feel about this, both arguments are rooted into the same problem, the lack of pass rush. I think it's important we address this in this draft.
There are several different ways we can snag the necessary peices. We can go OLB in the 1st and take a guy like Spoon. We could then take a DT in the 3rd. As many of you have already mentioned, this is a DT heavy draft. This would be one approach that might be worth considering to pick up some peices for the defense. We would add a solid OLB to pair with Lofton and we'd also pick up some insurance in the middle. The other option would be taking a DE in the 1st round, and then come back and take a OLB in the 3rd. I'm leaning more and more on this approach as we get towards draft day because we'd really be much improved if we took this route. Think about it.
1st round – Take a DE in the 1st. You name the player of choice based on the possibility they're on the board when the Falcons pick.
3rd round – Take a OLB. OLB is clearly an area that needs to be addressed. But, with Mike Peterson still on the roster, there's no need to have a starter-ready OLB at the start of the season. Taking an OLB in the 3rd that can come in and learn from Lofton and Peterson and then step in and get more snaps as the season goes (like our 3rd rounder from last year Chris Owens). Peterson basically buys us a little extra time which should be considered when draft day comes around.
If the Falcons can pick up a couple of solid impact peices in this years draft to add to the defensive side of the ball, then the defense will look a lot different than it did last season. Think about the upgrades. The signing of Dunta, the return of Peria Jerry and William Moore, and 2 impact picks from this years draft. I think we'd definately see an improved unit if T.D. went defense with our 1st two picks.
March 10th, 2010
2:46 am
We need to let our present group of young DE prove themselves. Drafting another DE just undermines their development, unlesss we can trade a present player for a draft pick. We also need to add impact players on both sides of the ball. Your observatons only address defensive needs. MR needs protection and weapons.
March 10th, 2010

Great work as always D3…and I can't say no emphatically enough concerning TO. Next subject…definitely like the latter choice of Graham & Norwood. And this recent love for the unproductive and inconsistent Griffen is a result of great workout and combine numbers. Thankfully TD does value college production and leadership. I still feel if one of the top OL are available or one of the game changers (Spiller, Golden Tate, Dez Bryant) with have to take a hard look in order to help out Ryan. It all depends on which player brings more value (defensive or offensive in the final analysis so you have to keep an open mind.
March 10th, 2010
7:00 am
Unfortunately if they're playing strong-side DE all are a bit too light. That the side defending against the run in base defense. Abe plays best from the weak-side.
No way TO.
Lastly the position with the largest learning curve is WR by the way.
March 10th, 2010
7:21 am
Why not get the best of both worlds….We could take the LB Witherspoon in the first, and take Eric Norwood in the 3rd. His natural position and most effective position is DE.
March 10th, 2010
7:52 am
Historically, TO is a pain on his 2nd season, not the first on any team he's with. Having said that, he is a vast improvement than our 2nd and 3rd wideouts. Atleast the opposition HAS to take his presence on the field seriously. unlike our current 2 nd 3 receivers. Plus TO won't break the bank. He knows the old paydays are over.
March 10th, 2010
8:17 am
No on TO. The last thing we need is a WR with unreliable hands. We have that in MJ and even in Roddy. I do think that we need to improve the WR position next to Roddy but TO is not the answer.
March 10th, 2010
8:20 am
No TO No TO No TO…
Look for Graham or OLB Weatherspoon from Missouri in the draft. They are the kind TD targets, NOT TO.
March 10th, 2010

ATL needs to shake things up. TO to the Falcons would have this city buzzing. Why not bring TO in to talk to him. This guy was a on his best behavior in Buffalo. Maybe he's reformed. TO would have the dome rockin.
March 10th, 2010
9:07 am
Great post. You already know my position on all the topics presented. As Box stated drafting a DE that high will only send the message of "We Do Not Believe In You" to both Beirmann and Sid. I think both of those players have a lot to offer and as you stated DE has a very steep learning curve. Unlike Anderson Beirmann is actually making strides.
D3, "tough ACC"…really?

The latest mock draft from nfl.com. Most of you Golden Tate fans will like this one.
March 10th, 2010

I'd Say Yes to TO. The best organizations are the ones that don't act "SCARED". As a Lifelong Atlanta Fan, I've seen our Professional Franchises get rid of Dominique, Bret Farve, Deion Sanders, David Justice, and want to run Josh Smith out of town now. Not to mention countless others because they caused contraversy. Lets take a look at the facts. Dallas brought in Deion to win the SB after ATL ran him out for his flamboyance. New England brought in Randy Moss after he quit on the Raiders. Hey in Basketball Cleveland brought Shaq in to get a ring, even though many people thought he couldn't play second fiddle to LeBron. True Atlanta Fans are tired of losing. We're tired of just making the playoffs. Going into this season optimism is high, probably the highest since 2004 after we made it to the NFC Championship. With Tony Gonzalez and John Abraham probably one season away from retirement, the time is now. AB have some guts and go GET TO.

d cubed,
I am leaning towards OLB. Get a hybrid like Jerry Hughes (TCU) who is projected as an OLB but played DE at college and is a converted RB from HS (meaning decent speed).
No to T.O.

Good morning Cage Fam..
Let's right to the point. The Falcons will NOT go defensive end with the 19th pick. Here's the scope as I see if from TeePee Central:
Picking ahead of the Falcons are four teams are in dire straits when in comes to pass rush issues.
First, at twelve, the Dolphins have a big time need. Joey Porter was released and Jason Taylor is aging. You can be sure that Bill Parcells will NOT neglect the pass rush. So that take care of Brandon Graham or Derrick Morgan.
Second, there is the Seattle Seahawks. With two first round picks in the draft, they are the team to watch closely. One pick, #6, MUST be used on an OT given the injuries that Walter Jones has had over the past few years. Jone has even hinted at retiring. The second pick, #14, SHOULD go with whoever is left between Morgan and Graham. Patrick Kearney is talking retirement due to injury issues and he is the best pass rusher they have. Watch this closely!!
Third, here are the New York Giants. Their defense is in transition. Antonio Pierce was released and Umenyiora is unhappy with playing time and his contract. He is also coming back from injury. The Giants need to get a pass rusher and/or LB. McClain should be the pick to replace Pierce BUT I would not rule out Graham or Morgan if they are here. The Giants are also the first team to be a threat to take Spoon due to his versatility. They may consider moving him inside.
Fourth, I present the Tennessee Titans. Like the Giants, their defense is in transition. Pash rush is a MAJOR issue here. Vander Bosch is gone and "The Freak" is heading towards his rocking chair. If either Graham or Morgan is on the board here, I assure you that they will NOT get past the Titans and Jeff Fisher.
So where does that leave ATL? If Morgan and Graham are gone, the Birds SHOULD NOT CONSIDER any of the remaining defensive ends. There is not a single one of them worth the first round pick. The remaining DEs offer NO greater value than what we have on the roster.
Carlos Dunlap and Everson Griffen are physical specimens BUT both come with questions about work ethic, conduct off the field, and focus. Can you say RED FLAGS!! Pierre-Paul is the second coming of JA98, a one year wonder in his junior season, that is still very raw and will take time to accumulate to the pro game. Stay away!!
Biermann has two years in the system and from what I have seen, is more than ready to be given the chance to show his stuff. Babs could move outside where his skill set could be used at the defensive end. We also could continue to develop Sidbury and take a DE late, one like Brandon Lang or CJ Wilson.
March 10th, 2010
9:29 am
Knew Money, we are not the Dallas Cowboy. If I'm not mistaken the owners did not want to pay Prime Time which is the reason that he left. Brett Farve wouldn't have been the QB that we know him as today because he was to busy partying and he wouldn't have gotten the proper coaching here anyways. He has all but admitted that himself. If TD and Co decides to bring in a ME player like TO then I will seriously start questioning their decision making and will also start to lose faith in The Process. The only reason that TO was so good in Buffalo was he was excepting to get a new contract then he was cut and not no one wants him..well except for Ochocino and that alone should tell you something. Not trying to pick a fight but I just do not see this happening. Now if you were making a case for someone like Boldin(if he was still available) I would agree with you 1000%.
March 10th, 2010
9:31 am
SCBird, I presented that proposal to the Cage on Saturday in the previous topic if you recall. I think it would be a steal. Norwood could play the DE for us, taking a year to learn and grow behind JA55, his idol.
Draft both Spoon and Norwood. Biermann could start opposite Abe this season, Babs could move outside to play end. But given all we have heard about Norwood and his focus, he could take a year to be a special teams ace, develop his frame like Biermann did a year ago, and learn the art (which he has already learned a HELL of a lot). Thank SC Bird for bring back to the surface my point.
March 10th, 2010
9:36 am
Anyone thinking that TO is coming to ATL is absolutely wrong. TO would be a MAJOR setback to Matt Ryan and we can definately do better.
I would rather see them go after Derrick Mason. They (Mason and TO) are the same age BUT is there a more professional WR in free agency than Mason. And anyone we take in the third or fourth round at WR (Decker, Barnes, Easley) would be well suited to watch this pro do his thing.
March 10th, 2010

Simply put, Arthur Blank, if you read this blog, hear me. Stay away from TO!!
March 10th, 2010
9:43 am
Thanks, ATLJBO, I went back and read the entire column. I know anguishing over whether or not the Falcons get a very late 7th round pick (Mr. irrelevant candidate?) is picking the ultimate nit, however there is an opportunity to get the pick of the (almost) free agent litter at that point, and a substantive upgrade at kicker could add an extra W or two next year.That could well be the spot for the primo graduating kicker, if such exists.
March 10th, 2010
9:48 am
I look at the draft and free agency together as ways to add talent to required areas.
Falcons needs: #1 CB, OLB (possibly 2), play making strong side DE, Tackle (move Baker to RT), young TE, WR, backup RB, and Center
1. CB: Dunta Robinson (done)
2. OLB (#1): sign a veteran LB after June 1st to compete with Nichols and hopefully win
3. OLB (#2): draft in 3rd – 4th round or comp pick. Productive LBs are available deep in the draft. Need to draft a big LB.
4. DE: Go sleeper route in 3rd – 4th round or comp pick. Looking for a guy with measureables and time to develop. 1st round DEs usually bust. Either have to 'grow' your DE or get lucky.
5. Tackle: 1st round if one of the top guys slide with the "Defensive run" expected in 1st round
6. TE: Need to get ready to replace Tony eventually. Also need to get #2 TE for someo of offensive packages.
7. WR: Sign TO to 2-yr deal.
9. Center
Free Agency:
CB (Dunta Robinson)
1st: OT or CJ Spiller if all hell breaks loose
3rd: OLB
3rd (comp): DE
4th: Jeff Owens (big DT from UGA)
5th: Center
5th (comp): RB
6-7th: BPA flyers on hyper athletic players at WR, DE, RB, etc.

not real excited about Kerwin's Mock. 2.0. Jenkins just re-upped in late '08 to a big money extension, Roddy got paid, we just re-upped w/Finneran last week and I think Gonzalez is owed a big chunk of $$$ to finish out the last portion of his KC contract we took on after trading for him.
Short story, would we invest 1st round money into the WR/TE position given the high-dollar investments we already have, none of which will expire this summer?
March 10th, 2010

What in the Hades is Pat Kirwin smoking? That is the most silly draft board I have ever seen him put up!! That is the kind of BS I would expect from Todd McFake.
March 10th, 2010
10:00 am
SW, agree with your 9:27 comments, great job on a thoughtful analysis! When picking 19 or later it is dangerous to fall in love with a particular position, or sour on rising new talent if they didn't make the pro bowl last year! I like Graham as one option for the pick if we don't trade down a few slots at the last moment simply because of motor, productivity, and versatility. But, if he makes the team, who gets cut?
I still think there will be movement in the first round for the falcons on draft day, likely last minute.
March 10th, 2010
10:02 am
Take Graham, his production from his junior/senoir season proves he's only going to get better.
"Hick NO" to T.O. that's tainted meat that will make you sick to the stomach.

March 10th, 2010
10:16 am
BA, if we pick up Graham or Morgan, it is OVER for JA98. Davis is a quality reserve, Abe has one more year to go on his deal, Biermann shows promise and is ready to take it to the next level, and Sidbury will be given a more active role in his second year.
Acquiring the likes of a Jeff Owens or Lamarr Houston in the middle rounds would make JA98 expendable. MHO.

LOVE this blog–more substance here than any of the pay-sites or "proffessional" sports sites!
1. Griffen others here have correctly noted his lack of "urgency" our other watchwords don't match up with him either as he is neither "humble"(see photo above) nor "hungry"(see USC career).
2.I've been on the 'Spoon wagon all along, but after running countless scenarios, I'm convinced that if we want another DE we'll have to pass on "my guy" and go with your 2nd Combo.
3.NO T.O. Go with Decker or Riley Cooper to compete at WR in the 5th/6th.
SEMINOLE WARRIOR is exactly right about the 1st Rd. DE's, if Graham is gone–PASS!
B Ajarn We could easily pick up the Kicker from Ala.or Michigan St in the 7th(and we SHOULD!)
Ya'll keep up the good work–some excellent thinking on here!

Greetings Cagers!!!
D3, nice post, but from the way you ended it by asking the question on TO, I knew from that moment "Knew Money" would come screaming…lol Whatup Knew Money? I know you enjoyed that post because TO is your guy. However, like I said yesterday, TO's "Time is Over". Anyway that's my opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours. It's all good.
CBrass, I may not agree with that draft but I would not be upset if we got Tate. Perhaps many may not agree with that but Golden is gonna be a great pro for some team.
My vote is with Graham because of the consistency and the high motor. That said however, I don't think we'll go DE in round 1. I still think we go LB with this pick and I have to be on SW's ship and go for "QuickSilver Spoon" and Brandon Lang or Norwood in the later rounds.
DePlane, I know Griffin is your guy but I am not sure of the consistency. Question is, is either of these DE's so much better than what we currently have on the roster that would warrant us picking one of them at 19? I think our current DE's have shown enough for TD & Smitty to give them another year of development and I think they'll have a coming out party this year.
ATLJBO, thanks for that link, it was informative.
Go Falcons!!!!
March 10th, 2010
10:37 am
I know one thing. TD places a lot of emphasis on production over measurables (see Curtis Lofton who was not a combine king but very productive at OU). That tells me that Brandon Graham is the man if TD goes DE at #19. But I don't see Graham as OLB on the Falcons (4.72 40??). If the pick is OLB, it is probably trading down to get Withersoon from Mizzou. Although I think there is a 50% chance TD takes either Pouncey or Iupatii at #19 and then tries to trade up to get Witherspoon early in the 2nd. But why didn't he hold onto Houston to throw into that package for trading up on draft day?
March 10th, 2010
10:42 am
FDB, you are on target my friend!! TD places a premium on poroduction but he also wants leadership AND ethic. My combo pick, Spoon and Norwood gives us both.
March 10th, 2010
10:44 am
According to our brother D O Led, the Falcons are done as far as big time FA moves. According to his inside sources, a few small moves may come here or there but for now, the focus is sqaurely on April.

SeminoleWarrior Pat Kirwin is filled with football knowledge, and sometimes it overloads him. There is a reason he was fired as a GM. Guys we can all speculate, but I see alot of guys that are basically JA98 or several players that are going to be far less effective than the "Beer Man" and Sidbury. JA98 is very good at DT position standing up against the run. None of the DE in this draft will be good against the run. However JA98 has value in that he has been getting added to the DT rotation. I don't think we will pick a defensive player at 19, I am convinced at this point that the Center Maurkice Pouncey will be the pick. He is the best at his position, and Todd McClure is the smallest, slowest, oldest, but the smartest of the O-lineman. It is time for him to train his replacement, which hopefully won't happen until the 2011 season.
March 10th, 2010
10:51 am
I've been hoping we'd trade down into the late 1st for 'Spoon, but I no longer believe he'll be there because of the AZ Dansby trade. "Spoon would be a great fit there, too. If he's our guy we'd better pull the trigger at 19. Pouncey's versatility gives him a leg up on Iupati in rd 1…..
March 10th, 2010
10:54 am
Sly Ty, great points on Pat Kirwin. He is a football guru for sure but this was so of of character for him. I would expect garbage like that from Todd McFake, the ESPN wanna-be. But Pat? I'm going to attest it to a bad latte this morning….LOL. Bring it, Pat!!
As far as Pouncey, I can see where you are going with that. A sleeper at center is Eric Olsen of Notre Dame. Solid skill set with a few minor issues but Coach Boudreau can take care of that with ease..could be a nice pick in the fourth or fifth round. Experienced center in a pro set.
