Mike Colbert: I'm able now to speak with the players while they're warming up. They'll come over and speak to me and sign my football where, in the past, they'd warm up and go right back in the locker room. Even at Furman [training camp], I would try to get autographs and they would walk completely in the other direction. But now they're more than glad to come over because their attitude has changed too. It's the way it should be. People are coming out to see them, so they're going to play better football for you.
The Great Atlanta Falconi: The security personnel leave me alone now. It goes back to my first year, when I sprayed Freddie the Falcon with my Silly String. They never got over it. Freddie came back out with a sign that said, "There's one in every crowd." They arrested me and cited me for using an incendiary device, which was just a magician's flash. I was told I had to stop intimidating Freddie with Silly String. The marketing people never liked what I did. I think they got rid of a lot of those people. They shit-canned the whole regime. I hope they did.
