    Wow, what a ****bag thing to say by Reed. Given how ****ty he played the rare occurrences he was on the field here, you'd think he would do whatever he could to make people forget that. What a tool.

    So, he only gets suspended if he is a director of event marketing, not their WR?? :confused:

    I have never heard or known of a human being besides the WR for the Falcons to be named Roddy...for the Falcons to have an employee with the exact same name is mind-boggling.

    I bet Falcon fans would've been even more ecstatic if Thomas Dimitroff was suspended for one year, instead of losing a draft pick or having McKay suspended from comp. committee.

    I think the first letter to the editor from someone questioning this points out that Smith only drafted four (or five, if given credit for Mario Williams, who Casserley is believed to have drafted anyway).

    I also agree with another letter writer, who suggested that All-Pro selections would have been a better gauge. Though honestly, to me the best gauge would be how deep in the playoffs did Smith's teams get...

    Smith was not hired till after the draft by Kubiak.... And Casserly did not oversee the 2006 draft.

    I think the belief was that Casserly advised the team even after losing the GM title.
