Some Pieces of Falcon History

You guys know how into the Falcons' history I am. Today, I managed to stumble across this in a local Montgomery flea market:

I'd say that's pretty "win," as my more concise interweb brethren like to say. It's in mint condition. I don't plan to take it out of the sleeve just yet. A few feet from this, I found the following gem:

Heck yeah! All this a day before game day. Good omen, maybe?

Nice find..

Reminds me of the time I found a San Jose Sharks program from their very first game in mint condition and picked it up for $6.00. Still have it…Andrews was my favorite player back then besides Bartkowski. We didn’t have much star power back then but Andrews was a stud. Too bad his career was cut short. What game is the program from? What year?

It's their "yearbook," from what I can tell.

Haven’t opened it yet as it’s still in Montgomery and I’m parked in Newnan at the fiancee’s. Hittin the game tomorrow with MentallyMIA.

You have opinions. Share them.

Falcon History

Bartkowski then, Ryan now. Andrews then, Turner now. Glory days returned?…… Um maybe!

Sweet.

I wish I knew what happened to the program from my first Falcons game, in 1971…

Andrews looks like he’s playing Indian Poker there. Or perhaps that game they’re playing in the basement bar in Inglourious Basterds…

Thanks a lot

Now I have to go up into my broiling attic and find my old Falcons programs from my season ticket days in the early ‘70s. I may end up drenched in sweat, but it’s something I now must do.

(waving fist in air) Damn you, nostalgia!!!
