Dear Falcons, Part 2

[Kelly]

Thank You For Listening To My Humble Cry!

"The Great Dane is back.

The Falcons Monday signed their most prolific scorer in franchise history for an unprecedented third stint as the team's placekicker. The 47-year-old Morten Andersen replaces Matt Prater, who was waived by the team Monday evening.

Andersen, 6-2, 225 pounds enters his 25th year in the league, one season after becoming the NFL’s all-time leading scorer. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Andersen has recorded 2,445 career points and is the Falcons career scoring leader with 707 points (1995-2000, 2006).

Andersen has split the uprights on 540 of 681 career field goal attempts (79.3) while adding 825 of 835 points after touchdown. The ‘Great Dane’ has also set Falcons franchise records with the longest field goal of 59 yards (1995), the most 50-yard field goals in a season with eight (1995), the most extra points in a career (230) and is second in most points scored in a season with 122 (1995).

In Week 14 of the 2006 season, Andersen became the League’s all-time leading scorer with 2,435 points when his extra point kick sailed through the uprights in front of a home crowd against the Dallas Cowboys. Andersen also recorded one of the most memorable kicks in Falcons history when he converted a 38-yard field goal against the Minnesota Vikings in the 1999 NFC Championship game to send Atlanta to its first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the team.

Prater was signed by the Falcons as a free agent on September 1, 2007.
He entered the NFL after being signed by the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2004."

To bad we didn't have him Sunday. Then we would be 1-1


But alas, we're back in the game

Good move about signing him. I think he can give them a game Vick didnt give like better passing and less fumbles being so damn big.

To whom it may concern:

This is starting to get on my nerves. I'm getting really tired of having anonymous "know-it-alls" writing me letters telling me what "we" should do and how "we should change this or that. I'm not real sure where the "we" stuff comes in as I have checked our staff line up and this person does not appear on the list. As stated before, it's very easy to coach a professional football team from the comfort of your own sofa with a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a beer in the other. While I am all for fan support and team appreciation, it frightens me to see that there are overzealous people out there who keep trying to use their "knowledge" of the game to tell the real know-it-alls what to do. If this keeps up, I will be forced to file a restraining order on the person. If she contacts us again, please inform her that she does not know everything there is to know about coaching or running a team and that she is no way affiliated with the team and therefore there is no "we" involved. I won't state her name, but it starts with a "K" and rhymes with "elly." Thank you very much.

Wow. Getting crazy in here. Later, QD.
