Quick Read With Some Interesting Stories Jun 06, 2009
By Douglas C. Childers
"Tales of the Atlanta Falcons Sidelines" was just that, a collection of quick stories about the team, most of which take place in recent history. The city of Atlanta was awarded an NFL expansion team in 1965 and play began in 1966. Since the franchise's inception, the Falcons have never posted back-to-back winning seasons. However, there has always been a lot of drama surrounding the team and I was looking forward to learning much more about the team's history.
Matt Winkeljohn, the Falcons beat writer for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution from 1985 to 2008 did relay some interesting stories throughout the book. However, Winklejohn jumped around the team's history throughout the book, creating some confusion as to what time period was being discussed. Furthermore, some of the more interesting characters like Jerry Glanville, Deon Sanders, and Andre Rison were briefly discussed. Instead, pages were devoted to light-hearted stories about random front office executives breaking their leg at the senior bowl. I understand that Winkeljohn was still serving as the beat writer when this was published (2005), however, I felt there weren't many stories that were that critical of the franchise or its players. For example, the infamous Jeff George/June Jones blow-up, one of the lowest points of the franchise, was only mentioned in passing.
Winkeljohn did do a great job of recreating the 1998 season and it was a joy to re-live those moments as well as re-visiting the hype that engulfed the city of Atlanta during Vick's first few seasons. Furthermore, I never realized that until Dan Reeves was hired in 1997, there was no real General Manager for the franchise - more than explaining why the team was so horrid during the end of the 1980s and most of the 1990s. I was just hoping for more of a behind the scenes look at some of the more crucial points of the franchise as well as a more comprehensive account of the franchise's history. Winklejohn even points out at one point during the book that no authors have ever attempted to even write about this franchise. The book was a great read and for a Falcons fan such as myself, very appreciated.
