Atlanta loses another Grady Jackson





so long, my big fat friend.

sad days, indeed.

It was over a decade ago the city lost a great Sax player, Grady 'Fats' Jackson. I played with this legendary musician a number of times. His trick was he could play 2 sax's at one time.

This week, we found out beleaguered Falcons cut our veteran run stopper to give the 'new kids' some more reps.

I am beside myself. Okay, so the guy is old,fat and slow, but why cut him? Sit him on the bench and use him in short yardage situations..Now, he will probably go to another team in our division while we continue to pay his salary.
This old blubberbutt led the NFL last year in tackles for a loss, and was on pace to meet or break it this year. But our vaunted 'coach' cut him outright.

Stupid,stupid,stupid.

Off to Mouseville with the whole fam damnily for next week. I'll try to stop in and update!

It's a small world after all. At least if your name is Grady Jackson!!
