Peterson, Davis and Babineaux have youth camps this weekend
Atlanta Falcons Jonathan Babineaux, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and First Lady Mary Perdue and Babineaux's Marketing Agent Cherry Bañez at the Celebration of Excellence ceremony that honored the class of 2010's foster care youth graduates. Babineaux was awarded the Celebration of Excellence's inaugural Community Service Award. (Cherry Bañez PR)
Falcons linebacker Mike Peterson will hold his youth football game on Saturday at Tri-Cities High. Registration for the camp is full.
If you didn’t get into Mike Pete’s game, you can still register for the fourth annual DTLR Football Clinic that starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Decatur High School.
Falcons Chauncey Davis and Jonathan Babineaux and Daniel Wilcox, an Atlanta native formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, will help to host the game that’s slated to handle 300 kids.
There will also be a recruting seminar for the parents.
“DTLR realizes sports is often time the dreams of many urban youth,” said DTLR Community Outreach Manager Sherri Goodall in a statement. “We want to help them reach their goals; so, we have partnered with several outstanding football players to help them increase their skills on the field. It only makes sense to bring sports, professional athletes and DTLR’s community efforts together in a way benefits everyone involved.”
Camp participants will perform agility drills, offensive and defensive fundamentals broken down by position and seven-on-seven passing drills.
“This camp offers students a unique hands-on training experience that will expose them to the same techniques and drills I used in college and that I continue to use today in the NFL,” Davis said. “It remains a priority for me and m foundation to give back and make a positive impact in the lives of young people.”
DLed: Mike Peterson is having a football camp at Tri-Cities High School in East Point on Saturday, June 12 AND Chauncey Davis and Jonathan Babineaux are teaming up for a football camp at Decatur High School also on Saturday, June 12.

Hiram—-For someone that supports a team with Reggie “I need a bribe” Bush and Sean “Drugs are my life” Payton I wouldn’t expect you to know anything about character. Sounds like the only person that needs a clue is you. Also, where did I mention Babs? Did you get sick of me knowing more about your team then you do. If you want I can get my 6 year old neice to respond to you. That way you’ll be on an even playing field; at least when it comes to football. Anything else and she would kill you!!!!

I mean, no matter how you look at it you just said you are a child pimp! You know they used to castrate people in Egypt for that right? I guess we all know where you and Seen won’t be going on your honeymoon!

Hiram—-You don’t have the same D as last season. I have been telling you for two days now that your D has gotten worse and so has the overall depth of the Saints team! Saints decline, Falcons improve and that spells trouble for the Aints! And just to show I’m an old school Falcon’s fan, I’m too legit, too legit to quit! Cause I got a job that pays me well and I don’t live in a FIMA trailer like a Saint’s fan! I’m not sure if the last line is from the song but it should be.

how do you figure our d is worse ? we let grant go – non producer- and picked up 2 de’s. fugita went to the browns -due to his production the saints weren’t gonna offer him more. everyone forgets about the two guys we got from wake the year before- both injured before the season- to take fugitas place. thats it ? thats all you got to say our d will be worse. it will be the 2nd year under williams who is agressive ,so the team will be much more comfortable in it. tell me some facts why you think the way you do . is it something you just heard and hope it’s true ? i hope your coaching feels the same way as you

Hiram—Grant was the second leading tackler along your line last year. How is that not being productive? And right now the Saints depth chart lists Troy Evans, a 9 year backup and special teamer, as replacing Fujita. Scott Fujita was the Saints fouth leading tackler period. You keep saying these guys weren’t productive but it just comes out like you don’t know the team you support. Also, in Greg Williams time in the league his teams have traditionally done worse in his second year. Look up the stats on the Skins and Bills if you don’t believe me.
I hope the Saints believe the hype garbage you and the other NO fans have been spewing because the reality is you sound like you don’t know jack!!!!!! Kind of like this is your sixth month following that team.

Hiram ,I know that the Saints lost only 3 players over the summer. I check Saints football news to try and refute you. It’s true that you guys have almost your whole team returnig, with the addition of some new defensive players, but what if Brees has the Madden curse hit him? I don’t want to see any player hurt so don’t think I’m wishing it. Whats your backup situation like?
hiramsaint
June 11th, 2010
7:08 pm
smitty and ryan have done worse their second year but they seem to be gods here. all i’m saying was grant was fat and lazy and the coaches thought they could do better. fugita was a nice guy but williams is looking for a not so nice much quicker guy. peyton is not gonna let williams slouch. you sound like your mad 284. if you think evans is our only other linebacker than maybe someone besides me doesn’t know jack.

The Falcons should reach unprecedented heights now for one simple reason…at no other time has there been so many players with such a high level of character and integrity than now. From the owner, to the front office to the coaching staff, assistants, trainers and beyond… there has never been a group of such fine people associated with the Falcons as there are now.
I have always been proud to be a Falcons fan, but never to this magnitude. I can’t wait for even the pre-season to start.
Meanwhile, it does the heart good to see all of the good work going on both on and off the field by so many members of this organization.
Go Falcons!!!

Why does that dog killa have his hand on Mary’s shoulder? Why is he harrassing the gov’s wife.
Why does the drug diller have a marketing agent?
Isn’t the marketing agent supposed to tell him to lose his ear rings, get a haircut, and find a suit that fits comfortably rather than a “hand me down?”
Let’s honor the drug diller/dog killa for his ability to distribute herbs to the community.

is that you are so good at being a loser you don’t know how to be a good winner.

Hiram—-No, you don’t! The only thing that would be settled is your estate. You think you’re funny but I think you’ve shown yourself to be a young and moronic. I said my niece should respond to you, so that you were on an even playing field with someone. That isn’t offering her up, as you suggested, or using her as a shield for anyone other then you. It’s sad that I have to keep explaining it to you. And if some other fool wants to “side” with you because I said that what you were suggesting was disgusting then you’re both fools, at best, and perverts, at worst. I wouldn’t exactly give myself kudos, like you do, for calling an end to a conversation that showed just how mentally ill you are. It doesn’t matter how you try to defend your actions! That fact that you would make such a hideous suggestion is indefensible! You and that other idiot should be ashamed of yourselves! We both know that the only reason you asked to stop that part of the conversation was because you knew you had gone too far and let too much of your true “character” show. So, you can take that apology and shove straight up where your head normally resides! There is no excuse for what you said!

Hiram—-If you want to argue about football then I’m all for it. Yes, the Saints have won 7 of 8 against the Falcons. Included in that statistic are a year of Jim Mora Jr and Bobby Petrino. Still though, the Saints have beaten Matt Ryan 2 out of 3. Yes, these things are all very true and would even come in handy if either team had done nothing to improve. For the Saints all they’ve done is lose quite a bit of their depth and two defensive starters from last years Super Bowl winning team. And what have theFalcons done you ask? Put simply, as I know I must do for you, the Falcons have improved in all facets of the game.
On offense, the return to health of Matt Ryan, Micheal Turner, Harvey Dahl, Harry Douglas, Sam Baker and Jerious Norwood gives an instant on field upgrade to the team the Saints barely defeated 26-23 last season. But the Falcons drafted for depth along the offensive line and added more depth in the backfield in case injuries occur again. Considering the Falcons have been working on their deep passing game that means Harry Douglas and Jerious Norwood will see more action and bring more explosion to their game. Explosive is exactly how I would describe the Saints offense. Factored together I would say the offenses are even; though the Falcons now have more depth on the O-line.
Defensively, the Falcons have improved a great deal, in the off season. They’ll have Peria Jerry and William Moore back from injury. We can debate the merits of those two if you’d like but I assure you that you won’t appreciate the education. The Falcons also signed Dunta Robinson, who was the best available free agent corner on the market. They also brought back Brian Wilson. If you watch the defense play the first two weeks, of last season, you’d see a defense that was taking the ball away and getting to the quarterback. But it doesn’t end there. The front office also selected Sean Weatherspoon and Corey Peters. Peters should be a depth player this year and a future starter. Weatherspoon should be the starting linebacker, at least against pass heavy teams, early in the season. He was a great defender against the pass in collage and like he won’t have a drop off in the pros. And what did the Saints do? They got Alex Brown and his 6.5 sacks from Chicago. Sure they lost most of their depth and two starters but they have Brown. Like I’ve been trying to tell you for the last week, or so, the Saints have not improved, while the Falcons have improved a great deal.
In summary, though it is true the Saints have found a great deal of success against the Falcons recently, all trends change. I expect the two teams to split their series; with the Saints taking the early season meeting and the Falcons taking the one late. However, when they meet in the playoffs, I would expect the superior depth and talent on the Atlanta team to prevail!

i apologized and wished we could end it properly but i guess in the trailerpark with a case of natural light y’all do it different. well if you think you could settle my estate you better bring all your good ole boy friends ’cause i can tell you that any person that twist things the way you do couldn’t find his own way out of a wet paper bag. what a true coward you must truly be 284 to talk all big and bad and then act like your a little innocent deer in the woods. we were both wrong and at least i can admit it and say i’m sorry for it . a real man could so i suppose that places you in the category of the feminized. i’d sure love to see you try and shove my apology where you suggested, you’d look like ground dog meat in about 2 min. but continue to ACT all manly here ’cause i know this is the only place you can try to be manly you panty whipped girl clone

Just so your retarded ass knows RR = rural route, 2 is the street. If you need directions let me know. I’m glad to see internet access is available at your homeless shelter! The fact that my firm moved me from Bufalo to Missouri probably wouldn’t mean a whole lot to you since you don’t know what a firm is or what a job is for that matter! I noticed you didn’t call little lady! What’s the matter? Are you afraid?
