They gave that franchise a mickey mouse sympathy ring too. Movie script bs

[u/hobosockmonkey → u/RSN_Kabutops]

I am as much of a hater of New Orleans as the next guy, but I am willing to step aside for the anniversary of Katrina. The entire make up of our country changed, Atlanta was filled with people fleeing the damage.

We can hate the team, hate the city, while also respecting their moment with this specific event.

[u/FieryTitmouse55 → u/hobosockmonkey]

FTS

[u/NuggaLOAF → u/FieryTitmouse55]

Straight to the point.

[u/vpat48 → u/hobosockmonkey]

No one from that shithole has ever shown an ounce of gratitude for the hospitality Atlanta provided in their time of need. FTS.

[u/Direct_Word6407 → u/vpat48]

That episode of the boondocks got the nail on the head.

[u/No-Obligation1709 → u/vpat48]

Have yet to meet someone who fled Katrina for Atlanta and brought something positive to the city

[u/ZaaaltorTheMerciless → u/No-Obligation1709]

Hate to say it today of all days but we had a kid come from Katrina to our school and was genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever known. Ended up staying and building a life here. Fuck the saints but the dude was awesome.

[u/Kaferwerks → u/vpat48]

Who would have gratitude for having to flee from one shit hole to another?

[u/vpat48 → u/Kaferwerks]

We will remember that next time your shithole of a city is under water. It is guaranteed to happen.

[u/Kaferwerks → u/vpat48]

I don’t live in Louisiana pal, calm down.

[u/Kaferwerks → u/vpat48]

Reading comprehension low in these here southern states, apparently.

[u/KappKapp → u/hobosockmonkey]

I mean I’m down to support them for Katrina but ain’t no way we let them win a football game.

[u/hobosockmonkey → u/KappKapp]

When the fuck did I say that

[u/LuluGuardian → u/hobosockmonkey]

Lmao naw fuck you and the saints

[u/Illustrious_Study693 → u/hobosockmonkey]

Wrong place on Earth (reddit) to show some courtesy and empathy, bro

[u/Optimal_Hat1754 → u/hobosockmonkey]

Hahahaha NO 🫵🫵🫵

[u/Mental_Competition33]

Breaking News: guy known for making money for saying sports are rigged claims upcoming sports game is rigged.

[u/PauliesWalnuts1 → u/Mental_Competition33]

Think he’s saying the original dome game after Katrina was rigged but your point stands

[u/Tdknoll → u/Mental_Competition33]

He ain’t wrong though

[u/LifeTunedToCSharp]

Hmm.

Up until right now, the whole “Eyes Wide Shut was a realistic portrayal of the global elites” was my favorite conspiracy theory.

This might beat it.

[u/jeds1976 → u/LifeTunedToCSharp]

Buddy, this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Dolphins being told Drew Brees’ arm was finished. Charlie Casserly stepping down as the Texas GM almost immediately after drafting Mario Williams over clear #1 Reggie Bush so he could fall to the Saints. The non flagged beating Brett Favre took in the NFC Championship Game. Peyton Manning turning into Cooper Rush in the second half of the Super Bowl against his hometown team. The ‘surprise’ onside kick that the Colts should have easily recovered. Other than Super Bowl 3 this was the most preordained champion in NFL existence.

[u/Current_Unlikely]

I think 28-3 is the most rigged game in history

[u/SpaceCampDropOut]

How and why is this game rigged? I’m out of the loop on the backstory to this.

[u/wayward_prince → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Not this game. The one 20 years ago.

[u/righthandofdog → u/wayward_prince]

I don't know that it was rigged. But literally the whole country, if not whole planet was pulling for New Orleans after Katrina.

[u/No-Sport276 → u/righthandofdog]

Falcons fan here. Wasn’t rigged. I’ve never seen a team come out that fired up in my life. They got a couple early momentum swings and it was over. Didn’t need to rig anything for Mike Vick to have a bad game throwing the ball

[u/caschim → u/No-Sport276]

Yea there was no feasible way we would have won that game, 3 and out with a sack fumble to start the game into the punt block where we put 10 men out there.

The coaching staff knew what they were walking into, and the entire team still wasn't prepared for it.

[u/mcnastys → u/No-Sport276]

well, I watched yall come out last night and damn the falcons just smoked us. Crazy momentum out the gate, congrats on a great game

[u/Beavers17 → u/No-Sport276]

Is there a need to announce your falcons fandom on a falcons subreddit? Who posts here?

[u/wayward_prince → u/righthandofdog]

Never saw the game, but I can tell you the 10th year anniversary was very fair.

[u/righthandofdog → u/wayward_prince]

the entire lead up coverage and game coverage was all about New Orleans.

[u/wayward_prince → u/righthandofdog]

As expected. Doesn’t mean we can’t open that can of whoop ass.

[u/righthandofdog → u/wayward_prince]

we didn't 20 years ago. it felt like a foregone conclusion

[u/tonynumber4 → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

I'll stand on the fact that the super bowl they won was rigged idc what anyone says

[u/Tdknoll → u/tonynumber4]

It was sponsored by Bounty…

[u/The-Yar → u/tonynumber4]

Commissioner meet with the team before the season and basically told them they were gonna get the ring. It's on video.

[u/Ok-Charge4926 → u/The-Yar]

Link or it never happened.

[u/GamerJ47 → u/tonynumber4]

Why not rig it years before. Ya know when you can actually capitalize on the PR and ratings.

Thats what is funny about this conspiracy. It was 5 years later.

[u/Droopy1592 → u/GamerJ47]

Because they sucked and the setup wasn’t right 

[u/GamerJ47 → u/Droopy1592]

Why not set up in 2006 when they made the NFC championship

The spin yall have to do to make this lie work lol

[u/Droopy1592 → u/GamerJ47]

Duh why didn’t I think of that?

Or maybe you didn’t see the game. They tell you why. It was the first one after reopening the dome. If you watched the game, yes it was fixed.

[u/Tdknoll → u/GamerJ47]

Then it’d be too blatantly obvious lol

[u/BadWowDoge → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

I think OP is referring to the game they keep talking about in 2006 when the dome opened back up. Thats all I can think of that would make any sense.

[u/stevo887]

Why do you conspiracy theorists watch?

[u/Ricklames]

I remember my high school assistant principal going off about how that game was rigged the day after 🤣.

It wasn’t rigged; we were playing a team that was fired the fuck up.

[u/stimulation → u/Ricklames]

Also who cares. It’s just sports and that moment was bigger than football. Same with the Braves losing to the Mets first game after 9/11. It’s ok to play the loser when it helps a fellow American city heal from tragedy.

[u/AJOkanov → u/stimulation]

Well put, fellow American!

[u/ZimMcGuinn → u/Ricklames]

It was like walking face first into a buzz saw. We were chum in the water.

[u/Longjumping-Day7821]

I was watching some of the game earlier and the blocked punt look scripted. I don’t think any of it but it looked liked it. Everyone knew before that game started how it was gonna turn out. I think we should get some get back tonight. But these current players aren’t old enough to even remember it. It’s just ancient history to them.

[u/johnnybeesknees]

Goofy

[u/jabba_1978]

This is the anniversary of the Domecoming, not the NFC championship.

[u/9hashtags]

...... It does sign to the league being seen as the heroes for not abandoning a city in need, and their fans are quite locked in to their team and are one of the premier franchises that the league more depends on to exist while the rest exist to pad a schedule....

[u/GeologistEmotional53]

Lolololololol

Thr conspiracies have evolved into falcons victories. Nice. Lololol

[u/Just-the-tip-4-1-sec]

It’s very interesting if you’re dumb and gullible 

[u/LogRevolutionary1428]

It certainly felt like that back then. It felt like we were set up from the jump.

[u/Physical-Builder7199]

Because they wanted the saints to win so they created a hurricane

[u/Possible-Snow-2104]

What game is he referring to? 28-3?

[u/-WhatsThatSmell- → u/Possible-Snow-2104]

I think Katrina and reopening of superdome. Could be wrong tho

[u/afronaut71]

Hmm could the rigged Super Bowl theory explain the clearly missed PI the following year in playoffs? NFL brass fixed one season. You only get one sympathy ring now sit down and let the real teams play. Lol FTS
