Did you read that idiot on the AJC sports page yesterday? I don't think he really meant what he said. Probably, he was just trying to make the Falcons' potential more palatable for the Atlanta audience.

Whos got it tonight? I say Roddick pulls it out, but if its a close match, it favors Djokovic.

Thanks for commenting, Boss Man. Your call of Andy Murray to win the US Open is looking good.
