The Savannah Morning News ran an interesting interview with Brian Van Gorder. Local station WTOC also has a great video interview in which BVG discusses his courtship with the Falcons and decision to step down as head coach. Apparently BVG's family was not happy in Statesboro. That surprises me because from my understanding Statesboro is a pretty hospitable place, but then again, no one I know ever took a Cleveland Steamer on the city's greatest source of civic pride. Seriously, what kind of mean-spirited locals wouldn't embrace a coach who lobs these little hand grenades: "If our community and Eagle Nation were better educated, they'd respect what's going on here and what's happening."

Jeff Schultz thinks the Falcons need to let go of Michael Vick. It'll be interesting to see if Arthur Blank hangs on to embarrassing but talented bad boys the way he hangs on to worthless good boys.
