Reid Kerr's Fistful of Sports is on vacation this week, and will return next week. For those of you who are curious, that's why I haven't raged against Michael Vick this week.

Seriously, though, have the Atlanta Falcons ever done anything right? This franchise is just cursed. Think of this, they've never had back-to-back winning seasons. Never. Never ever. Even when they won the NFC and went to the Super Bowl, they still found a way to pull it out and go 5-11 the next season.

They've had the most exciting man in pro football (and in dog fighting, apparently) for four years, and have somehow managed to parlay that into absolutely nothing, and are winding it up by losing him in a scandal so disgusting, even in the sometimes horrifying nature of the sports world, it is totally unique.

If the Falcons were a movie, they'd be "Major League 2." They'd do the exact same thing that worked last time, and fail horribly at it.
