1. Cox: Let's be frank like Nathan's. The most exciting Falcons-related article to emerge this week from the entire internet was an interview with Flowery Branch's groundskeeper. No, seriously: it's a fantastic piece and you'll be glad you've read it.
2. Gridiron Gab: The 2010 All-NFC South Team. Soulja Boy over Tony Gonzalez? Some guy with 2.5 career sacks over John Abraham? Whatever, man.
3. Canal Street Chronicles: The All-Time Worst Saints Offense and Defense. When Aaron Brooks is riding pine, you know your All-Time Worst team is stacked.
4. 82 Sluggo Win: A bizarre and winding essay on fanhood. There's a whole lot more to write about this thing, but it's really amazing and strange and you should just read it for yourself.

And Jonathan Babineaux is an A.
