Last Year: 159-104 (.605)
Last Week: 14-2 (.875)
This Year: 142-66 (.683)
NOTES FROM WEEK FOURTEEN:
When it rains it POURS…
As if the NFL’s and the Atlantic Falcons’ image wasn’t tarnished enough this week with the news of the disgraced QB Michael Vick being sentenced to federal prison on dog fighting charges, the Dirty Birds’ woes continue to get worse and worse with the news of WR Joe Horn’s shooting of two burglars in their backs while being recorded live by a 911 operator. While the gun-grabbing wackos attack the Falcons (and former New Orleans Saints) receiver for exercising his Right To Keep And Bear Arms and defend his Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness, I stand by him and wish him and his family nothing but the best as the death threats continue against this great American NFL icon and future Hall Of Fame receiver.
Transcript of the frightening 911 call here (CNN.Com):
911 OPERATOR: Pasadena 911. What is your emergency?
HORN: Burglars are breaking into a house next door. …”
(Snip!) …
HORN: I have got a shotgun. Do you want me to stop them?
911 OPERATOR: Nope, don’t do that. Ain’t no property worth shooting somebody over, OK? …”
(Snip!) …
HORN: I’m not going to let them get away with them. I can’t take a chance on getting killed over this, OK?
911 OPERATOR: No.
(CROSSTALK)
HORN: I’m going to shoot. I’m going to shoot. …”
(Snip!)
HORN: OK. He’s coming out the window right now. I got to go, buddy. I’m sorry, but he’s coming out the window.
(CROSSTALK)
911 OPERATOR: No, don’t. Don’t go out the door.
Mr. Horn? Mr. Horn?
HORN: (EXPLETIVE DELETED) They just stole somebody. I’m going out the window. I’m sorry.
911 OPERATOR: Don’t go outside.
HORN: I ain’t going to let them get away with this (EXPLETIVE DELETED) They stole something. They got a bag of something.
911 OPERATOR: Don’t go outside the house.
HORN: I’m doing it.
911 OPERATOR: OK?
Mr. Horn, do not go outside the house.
HORN: I’m sorry. This ain’t right, buddy.
911 OPERATOR: You’re going to get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun. I don’t care what you think.
HORN: You want to make a bet? I’m going to kill them. …”
BOOM-BOOM!!! (visual sound effects and emphasis added by me)…
Good for Joe Horn; too bad for the burglars.
UPDATE:
Oops, wrong “Joe Horn”!!! My bad. My sincerest apologies if I caused any confusion on that one. I could not be more embarrassed for my mistake…
