Tony Gonzalez plans to retire after Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. The former Chief and five-year Atlanta Falcon is a lock for the Hall of Fame, and while he'll be better remembered by many for the decade-plus he spent in Kansas City, he'll always be one of the most popular men in town here.
I collected some fond memories from Falcons fans on Twitter below. Share yours in the comments.
