Marco is lives in Oldenburg, Germany where he’s a branch manager of two casinos. He has a wife named Katrin, who he’s been married to for nearly 5 years, and a pug named Roddy. Despite living in Germany, Marco and Katrin are PSL and season ticket holders, and come over for two home games every season. The other tickets he gives to friends living in Georgia or elsewhere in the United States. How did you become a Falcons fan? Beginning in the 2000’s my wife Katrin (who was my girlfriend at the time) and I spent every vacation in the United States, most of the time visiting Georgia or the Carolina’s and became football fans. So, we had to decide between the Atlanta Falcons or the Carolina Panthers. But the both of us agreed and our hearts said, it must be the Falcons. So, our fandom started, and we went frequently to home games and the Falcons London game.Who is your favorite Falcons player of all-time?That’s an easy one for me. Without a doubt, it’s Roddy White. We lovedwatching him play, and his nature on and off the field. He was one of the toughest players and often played through injuries. The day he was cut was very hard, but I’m glad he never dressed for another team. I hope No. 84 will be in the Atlanta Falcons ring of honor soon. Also, we named our five year-old pug “Roddy” after him. My ambition is to meet him someday, I hope that dream becomes real.If you were the Falcons General Manager, what moves would you make?First, I would like to enjoy all that money as a GM. But seriously, I would build through the draft and develop my own players. Finding the RIGHT players is more important than finding the best. In the upcoming draft we should draft trench players such as defensive tackle Ed Oliver in the first round, and a guard or offensive tackle in the second round. Oliver is a freakish athlete and a unique prospect White Brian Urlacher Jerseys , despite being a little undersized. I hope he is still available when we are on the clock. In the later rounds, I would love if we can get wide receiver Andy Isabella for depth. Wide Receiver is nowhere near a priority, but I loved him in college. And hey, I’m the GM. But I think, he will be long gone before we think about a WR. Additionally, I would move on from Vic Beasley. With so many other players to pay, and tight cap space, it’s time to cut an underachieving player. The Falcons can fill other holes with his expected $12.8 million salary in 2019. I would also cut Ryan Schraeder, and moreover try to restructure Desmond Trufant’s contract to free up more cap space. But these are tough decisions.Favorite Falcons memorabilia?My favorite memorabilia are my miniature Georgia Dome, authentic turf from the Georgia Dome, and my huge collection of bobbleheads, McFarlane’s and Starting lineup Falcons.Favorite Falcons memory?I have to name two favorite memories. First, it’s the 2012 season divisional round game vs. Seattle Seahawks, when Matt Bryant kicked a 49-yard winner with eight seconds left. Second, it’s the 2016 NFC Championship game. It was such a great feeling and I didn’t stop smiling the next day, and then I called my great friend Matt Chumley in Dallas and the both of us met one week later at his parents’ house in Powder Springs. We watched the Super Bowl in the College Football Hall of Fame. Despite the outcome, we had a fantastic week. I appreciate Marco for sharing his thoughts on the Falcons, and for being the focus of this weeks ‘Fan Spotlight’ article. Got to show respect to our overseas fans, who stay up late just to watch Falcons games. If you’d like to connect with Marco you can find him on Twitter at @FalconMarco11 and in Section 316 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.If you’d like to be considered for a future ‘Fan Spotlight’ or know of someone who deserves to be, let me know on Twitter where you can find me at @EvanBirchfield. Thanks for reading! A look at the NFL’s third decade, the 1940s:FRANCHISESThe NFL reached the West Coast for the first time when the defending champion Cleveland Rams moved to Los Angeles for the 1946 season. After stabilizing for the first time in the late 1930s, the league was mostly unchanged in its third decade except for adjustments made during World War II.The war led to more than 1,000 players interrupting or postponing their pro football careers. As a result Brian Urlacher Jerseys 2019 , the 10-team league went down to eight for one season, in 1943. The Cleveland Rams suspended operations, while the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers merged for the season.The count went back to 10 in 1944 with the return of the Rams and the addition of the Boston Yanks, while the Steelers merged with the Chicago Cardinals just for that season. The combined team, called Card-Pitt, went 0-10.After the war, the NFL service roster, limited to men who played in league games, totaled 638. Of those, 21 died in action.Before the better-known AFL merger of 1970, the All-America Football Conference laid the foundation for what amounted to the NFL’s first merger. The AAFC played the final four seasons of the 1940s, with three of the seven remaining teams joining the NFL in 1950: the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts.TOP TEAMSThe Chicago Bears won three of the first four championships, and were 11-0 when they lost the title game to the Washington Redskins the one year out of those four that they didn’t win it all.The Philadelphia Eagles played in the last three championship games in the decade, winning the last two. That was after going 5-27-1 in the first three seasons of the 1940s.While the Redskins knocked off the unbeaten Bears for the 1942 championship, they lost in the title game three times. The New York Giants were 0-3 in championship games during the decade.TOP PLAYERS“Slingin'” Sammy Baugh, Washington’s top draft choice in 1937, gets credit for being the NFL’s first big-yardage passer. The former TCU star led the NFL in passing, punting and interceptions in 1943. Baugh led the NFL in passing six times and finished with 21,886 yards, 187 TDs, a 45.1-yard punting average and 31 interceptions.Baugh was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s first class in 1963.Sid Luckman, the second overall pick by the Chicago Bears in 1939 White Dick Butkus Jerseys , created a rush of teams using the T-formation after leading the Bears to a 73-0 demolishing of Baugh and the Redskins in the 1940 championship game. The 1943 MVP threw for 14,686 yards and 137 touchdowns and made the Hall of Fame in 1965.When he retired after the 1945 season, Green Bay receiver Don Hutson had a record 488 catches. The next most at that time was 190. The “Alabama Antelope” had 99 career touchdown grabs, a record that stood for more than four decades. He went into the Hall of Fame with Baugh in ’63.Bob Waterfield was the NFL MVP in 1945 as a rookie while leading the Cleveland Rams to the championship. Then the former UCLA player got to go home to California when the franchise moved to Los Angeles following that title season. Waterfield was a three-time All-Pro and led the league in passing twice. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame with Lukman in ’65.Bill Dudley, drafted No. 1 overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1942, didn’t really get his career going until after the war. In 1946, Dudley was the MVP while leading the league in rushing, interceptions, punt returns and lateral passes attempted. The former Virginia standout also played for Detroit and Washington. His Hall of Fame induction was in 1966.Steve Van Buren was a four-time NFL rushing champion for the Eagles while leading the league in punt returns as a rookie in 1944, and kickoff returns in 1945. The former LSU star was the first player with multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons while finishing with 5,860 yards before retiring at 30 after eight seasons. He also went into the Hall of Fame in 1965.TOP COACHESGeorge Halas (HOF class of ’63) left the Bears in midseason in 1942 to join the Navy, so Luke Johnsos and Heartley Anderson led the club for the rest of that 11-0 season before the title game loss, and for the next three years. After falling short of the title game the last two seasons with Johnsos and Anderson, the Bears won the championship again in 1946 when Halas returned.Ray Flaherty won two titles in seven seasons with the Redskins, leaving for the New York Yankees of the rival AAFC after the 1942 championship. He won at least 10 games the first two years with the Yankees but didn’t finish the third season. After coaching the Chicago Hornets the final year of the AAFC, Flaherty didn’t return to the NFL. He made the Hall of Fame in 1976.The 1940s were the only decade covered entirely by one coach for the Giants, part of Steve Owen’s 23-year run with one of the NFL’s storied franchises. His only three-year stretch without a winning season came at the end of the decade, but he led the Giants to the title game three times in a span of six seasons. He was a 1966 entrant into the Hall of Fame.MEMORABLE GAMESThe Bears’ 73-0 rout of the Redskins for the 1940 championship remains the most lopsided game in NFL history. Remarkably, Harry Clarke was the only player to score more than one touchdown (he had two). The Redskins threw eight interceptions, three of them returned for TDs. It was the first championship carried on network radio, broadcast by Red Barber to 120 stations of the Mutual Broadcasting System, which paid $2 Dick Butkus Jerseys 2019 ,500 for the rights.The goal posts, which were at the goal line at the time, played a huge role when the Cleveland Rams beat the Redskins 15-14 in the 1945 championship game. With gusting wind and bitter cold in Cleveland, Sammy tried to throw from his end zone early in the game and hit the crossbar, leading to a safety for a 2-0 Rams lead. Cleveland scored a touchdown just before halftime, and Bob Waterfield’s extra-point kick was partially blocked and landed on the crossbar, teetering there before dropping over for a 9-7 lead. That point ended up being the difference.GAME CHANGERSArt Rooney, who founded the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1933, sold that franchise to Alexis Thompson in 1940 and bought part interest in the Philadelphia Eagles. Rooney and Bert Bell traded the Eagles to Thompson for the Pirates, and the Steelers were born. Rooney entered the Hall of Fame in 1964.In 1946, halfback Kenny Washington and end Woody Strode signed with the Los Angeles Rams to become the first blacks to play in the NFL in the modern era. Guard Bill Willis and running back Marion Motley joined the AAFC with the Cleveland Browns. Willis and Motley both eventually played in the NFL and were voted to the all-decade team. Motley, who played at South Carolina State and Nevada, led the NFL in rushing in 1950 and entered the Hall of Fame in 1968, while Willis was inducted in 1977.In 1948, halfback Fred Gehrke of the Los Angeles Rams painted horns on the Rams’ helmets, the first modern helmet emblems in pro football.FUN FACTSThe merged Philadelphia-Pittsburgh team of 1943 was called the Steagles by fans. Home games were divided between the cities. … In 1949, the NFL had two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time: Van Buren and Green Bay’s Tony Canadeo(HOF class of 1974). … The 1972 Miami Dolphins are recognized as the only undefeated team in NFL history. Two years before joining the NFL, the Cleveland Browns went 15-0 in the AAFC. While the NFL recognizes records of the old AFL (American Football League), it doesn’t include AAFC marks.
