This day, forty-four years ago, Rankin Smith's NFL franchise was born in the wonderful city of Atlanta. While Smith may have had a hard time naming it and the team's first few draft picks may have been a little questionable, we all hold this franchise in an esteem unmatched by many other fandoms. Some may call us a little crazy for sticking with such a "lowly" franchise, but we all know they're just jealous that we have Tommy Nobis on our board of directors.

Let's celebrate this momentous occasion by raising a glass of Falcohol and recalling some of our favorite Falcons memories.

The CAKE is awesome ...

One of my favorite (yet incredibly painful) moments in Falcons history was the 2004 NFC championship game. Damn you Chad Lewis … damn you.

Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?

Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.
