Tonight the BC Club of Atlanta hosted a cocktail party with Matt Ryan and Gene DeFilippo. Thanks to the Alumni office for coordinating the details and our local chapter president Kyla Perfetuo. Big congrats to BC Mike for being the driving force behind the event and for giving Gene a very nice intro...

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest. Let the record show that your humble author, the Squibster, predicted the final playoff victory games for the Cardinals and Steelers and the Super Bowl victory for the Steelers. Let the record show that those predictions were in hard print befo...

There will be baseball in Brighton! Most of BC's expansion received approval yesterday. The main hang up remains some of the dorms on the former seminary land. Overall this is good news for the school. Now it wasn't part of the approval or expansion plans but someone better start sketching out ideas...

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (left), he of our Outsports NFL All-Hot team for 2008, is apparently a new spokesmodelperson for Axe Hair. He was on Carson Daly’s show Wednesday (Carson Daly still has a show?) and apparently the two of them got into a lovefest, apparently consisting most...

Sure it made for good copy when Terence Moore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote back in April that "The Falcons just blew it" by drafting Matt Ryan.

Matt is doing a lot of press now that he is a Falcon. Here is his the USA Today article. (thanks to Tim E. for the link.) The station I listen to in the morning spoke with Matt Ryan this week. BC Mike passed on this two part interview that Matt had with another Atlanta radio station. (Part 1, Part 2...
