To the New Orleans Saints....From the Atlanta Falcons:
"Thank you....thank you very much. Your team will not be coming to the ATL....this play-off year. You were a double digit favorite....You were the defending champs...
And you gave us a gift........by losing to a 7-9 Seattle Sea Hawk team.
Thanks, again! "
