Redskins v Falcons NFL.com Game Center<\/a><\/p>\nAt the time we were doing a weekly podcast with then Redskins receiver Brandon Lloyd. The following day, one of the Atlanta fans hit our message boards to mock me.<\/p>\n
You see, I live in Canada and we don’t call them Falcons, pronounced Fal like pal. We call them Falcons pronounced like fall-con. So one particular Atlanta fan thought that he would have a go at me the next day on the message board.<\/p>\n
He tried his hand a bit of smack and offered up something lame like, “Ha Ha, you can’t even say Falcon right… it’s ‘Fal’, like ‘pal’.”<\/p>\n
My response?<\/p>\n
A simple, “You’re a fall-con idiot.”<\/p>\n
Enough said.<\/p>\n
Today we play the Fall-con idiots.<\/p>\n
Follow me on Twitter @TheHogsdotNet for some game day venom.<\/p>\n
