Atlanta Falcons win coin toss, get 19th pick in draft
HEY 19!: Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham could be available with the 19th pick.
Indianapolis — The Falcons won the coin toss!
The team will select 19 in the 2010 NFL draft.
It wasn’t a heads or tails deal.
It was a coin that had the Falcons logo on one side and the Houston Texans’ logo on the other.
The early a.m.p came up Falcons.
This makes general manager Thomas Dimitroff 2-0 in coin tosses.
He also won the coin toss for the No. 3 — which was used to select Matt Ryan — in 2008 draft.

Who gives a S–T about the coin. At least the NFL can afford it and gave some “trophy” shop the business to make the freakin coin! I’m sure a few peole got a weeks worth of salary for the coin, as oppose to some damn charity that will put half the money into “operating” expenses!

“It was a coin that had the Falcons logo on one side and the Houston Texans’ logo on the other”
strange question … but I wonder what happens with that coin now? They obviously created that coin just for the flip but now that it’s over, I wonder what they’ll do with it …

19th pick!?!?! What the hell? The Falcons lost 10 draft spots by winning out even after it was known they were eliminated. They should have rested the injured starters and tanked the remaining games. I need a drink a stripper… out!

Met Dunta Robinson and his mother his senior year in high school. He went to Clarke Central in Athens and had a chip on his shoulder (rightly so) because Mark Richt didn’t offer him and he went to SC. As we college football fans often do, I decided that he must not be good enough or we would have offered him, so I wished him luck, just not against UGA. Well, 4 years later (3?did he go early?) I was wrong, we (UGA) just missed on him and he was the 7th overall pick in the draft. Same place Deion Sanders went to Atlanta if I am not mistaken. Not bad for a guy who was passed over by his hometown college that he really wanted an offer from. It would be nice for him to come home to Georgia if it worked out. His mom was buying a vehicle at the time and I was doing to paperwork. Nice family.
