Football Update:

A streak of 56 sold out games at the Georgia Dome is in danger of breaking after the Atlanta Falcons announced they still have 3,000 seats available for Sunday's game. They should just give them away like Michael Vick gave away their season with his little dog fighting incident.

Want an Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl Ring? All you have to do is buy a $5 raffle ticket by November 20th. 25 lucky finalists will be chosen from the up to 200,000 ticket holders. Then the group will be narrowed to 10 people who will go on a scavanger hunt around Indy to find Colts related items which will bring them to the RCA dome just in time for the Colts December 2nd game against Jacksonville. There the finalists will have to unlock a box with the winning key. Get it? Got it? Good...now go buy some tickets, the money is going to charity!

The NFL Hall of Fame has announced their 2008 candidates for induction. The list of 124 nominees included Cris Carter and Darrell Green.

Sad news, Sam Dana the oldest living NFL player died at the age of 104. He played football with Lou Gehrig at Columbia.

Popo in my crib News:
The on going saga of Andy Reid's kids has taken another crappy turn. Garrett was taken into custody after failing a drug test on Tuesday. Garrett will be sentenced on Thursday. Meanwhile, his younger brother Britt is also awaiting sentencing on Thursday for his unrelated incident. Watch out Garrett and Britt, because the popo are on your tail!

It's been a bad few days for Nevada's Tyrone Hanson after he was beaten at a Reno party and had his wallet stolen last Sunday. Three people who attended that party were killed. But Hanson's antics have not only given him a fun trip to the hospital, it has also gotten him kicked off the basketball team after he was told not to go out on that fateful night. Meanwhile, Nevada football players who attended this crazy event are not going to be penalized. Saili Manu and Samisone Taukitoku have been charged in connection with this case. It's Nevada, you've got expect stuff like this. Watch out Saili and Samisone, because the popo are on your tail!

Jose Offerman has been given two years probation and manditory anger management classes for his bat attack during a independent league game in August. Offerman must also pay the medical expenses of John Nathans and Matt Beech. Watch out Jose, because the popo are on your tail!

Ron Mahay, Julio Franco and Chris Woodward have filed for free agency. Of the eligible Braves players, only Andruw Jones and Tanyon Sturtze have yet to file.
