Some moments in sports can warm even the coldest hearts. For me, seeing Arthur Blank get a Gatorade shower on Sunday was one of those moments.
Blank's Atlanta Falcons have had their fair share of ups and downs the last few years. They lost the NFL's most exciting player in Michael Vick and the services of head coach Bobby Petrino all within 12 calendar months. The team with the bright future found themselves in a dark hole without a flashlight.
Even with all the negativity surrounding the Falcons, Blank and his management group didn't give up on the team or the city. He went out and signed Mike Smith to be the head man, drafted Matt Ryan, and acquired the services of Michael Turner from San Diego.
Fast forward a couple years and the Falcons are on the verge of getting to the Superbowl and finally shaking the demons of the past. Congrats to the organization and the city on turning things around for the better.
