Todd Graffagnini hates the Atlanta Falcons. He HATES them. So this makes me a bad friend.

You see Todd, an unabashed New Orleans Saints fan, is the godfather to my youngest son. I scheduled my son's 2-year-old birthday party the afternoon of this year's NFC Championship Game. My extended family knew a Todd meltdown was on the horizon before the game even started.

Mohamed Sanu caught a touchdown pass from Matt Ryan midway through the first quarter in the Falcons' 44-21 romp of the Green Bay Packers en route to Super Bowl 51. Todd sat in a completely different room than the rest of the party. But the party patrons, led by me of course, peered in to watch Todd's reaction.

He punched a pillow on my sofa. Then he stood up and said, "I'm out." His wife, Holly, has witnessed this before. She corralled their two children and the family bolted the party.

I'm just the opposite: My least favorite professional sports franchise is the Patriots. It goes back to the days of the Sullivan family owning them, and then Kraft coming in and signing a contract to move the team to CT. For those that don't know, that's how UConn got its' stadium built (and why it's 27 miles from UConn's campus!)

I'll be rooting hard for the Falcons, despite going to a party hosted by die hard Patriots fans.

As a New Orleanian I consider it my civic duty to hate the Falcons. Go Patriots!

I have to pull for the Pats here. I'm a season ticket holder and while I don't "hate" the Falcons, I just don't want them to have a Super Bowl win like we have. They can be there, just not be the equal of us - a Champion!

Go Pats!!!!

sounds like a model "God Parent"....maybe TG can author a how to book
Be a Hero Today.... Adopt a Shelter Pet... The Beatles once sang "Can't Buy Me Love"... I disagree, unconditional Love can be bought, for the nominal adoption fee at your local Pet Shelter !
