They are BIG MAD ❄️❄️❄️

Friends of mine will ask me why I hate-watch the Falcons even after watching that 1st and Goal sequence from the 3 yd line…

What just happened?? I’m not used to this…the Falcons just won??

I see the Falcons decided to honor Matt Ryan’s induction into the Ring of Honor by pulling a classic Falcons choke…

Idk who needs to hear this but therapy doesn’t cure hatred. It gives us clarity to hate everything with understanding of why. We hate with a purpose.
