Didn't we used to hate Atlanta the most?

I'm still baffled by this apparent rivalry between Tampa Bay and New Orleans. I am happy that Harper didn't kill a man last week though. I thought we always hated Atlanta the most and the other two teams were just kind of there. This week we have another divisional game which will prove to be an interesting one. I hate Atlanta. I hate them so much. And to testify to some of these reasons, I'm making a list.

TOP 10 REASONS WHY I HATE ATLANTA:
1.) Naming your QB after a shitty beer is ridiculous. Matty Ice? Really? Does it cost 8.99 for 6 identical copies of him that make you want to throw up the next day? I submit that only one copy of him should make you nauseous enough to ralph.
2.) Their coach does in fact look like a falcon. Take a look, I've included a link for those who cannot immediately recall this man's bird-like face: http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/VoUuHHubVPq/Atlanta+Falcons+v+New+England+Patriots/yOVF9O5vqcN/Mike+Smith
3.) They call their city, "HotLanta"
4.) They are previous employers of Michael Vick (they get points on this one however, because they booted his ass).
5.) Their airport. (Everyone who's been to this airport just nodded their heads and said, "Yup, I know thats right".
6.) At this current time, they're closer to New Orleans than I am. I think thats a viable reason to hate them.
7.) I don't know exactly why, but I think the Falcons' uniforms look ridiculous.
8.) They have someone on their team named "Roddy"
9.) I take issue with their southern style food, as I find it sub-par at best. Granted, coming from a city such as New Orleans that will probably be the case more often than not culinary-wise.
10.) According to the first result from google when you type in "I hate Atlanta, GA", they actually refer to themselves as, "the ATL". (shake my head)

And those are the reasons why I can't stand Atlanta. Some has to do with football, some started with football and became personal, and others realistically had nothing to do with football and just counts as me being petty.

Now Saints, I expect a good showing out of you today. Harper, again I ask of you not to incur unnecessary penalties (wink - "necessary" will be left to your discretion). Will someone please take out "Matty Ice" and scream, "WE DRINK ABITA DAMMIT!" when you sack him? Because that would be really funny. Graham, you met my friend TJ the other week after your game, you have a hilarious taste in shirts, and your skills with the football are incredible, lets keep that going. Drew....do NOT throw it to the other team. If you can't find an option, either throw it away or take the sack. Losing 10 yards is always better than just giving the team the ball, unless its 4th down and it'd be bad field positioning, then I understand. Either way, its going to be a good game and I hope you boys do an excellent job embarrassing the Falcons...because I hate them so....so very much. Geaux Saints and bless you boys!!
