Pro Bowl: Abraham is the team photographer
John Abraham and Roddy White at the Pro Bowl.
I’ve been shooting @RoddyWhiteTv tweets asking for photos from Hawaii.
But he’s just a tweeter. It appears that @JohnAbraham55 is the budding photographer. So I’ve got a collection of his arrival shots of the Falcons in Hawaii.
The Falcons have nine players representing for the NFC in the league’s all-star game that will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu.
Here’s Abraham’s photo gallery.
Roddy White checking in at the Pro Bowl.
Michael Turner and Ovie Mughelli at the Pro Bowl.
Abraham's gear.
Brent Grimes checking in at the Pro Bowl.
Eric Weems checking in at the Pro Bowl.

Great feeling to see our guys representing at the Pro Bowl. Its my hope that they are able to enjoy themselves as well as refresh their minds and bodies over the off season.
The Falcons staff seriously needs to upload/install a killer instinct in our players next season! Pressure will eventually burst a pipe, and Aruthur Blank has made it clear that he wants the Falcons to be mentioned amoung the elite teams.

Leave Abraham there for good. Maybe the ocean air will heal that groin of his that always keeps him limping around. The way the D played against Green Bay they should be ashamed of being there.

Tell you what Packerbacker, if the pack does get lucky enough to keep winning, I will meet you back here and show you how a real man acts and will congratulate you. If they lose, are you man enough come back here to face the wrath that you will read about how your beloved team got beat and let me rub it in your face?

You live in Atlanta so pull for the Hawks, pull for the Thrashers, pull for the Braves, and pull for the Falcons as well. Suffer with the rest of us. If you choose to pull for anyone else, be a good neighbor and keep it to yourself.

PACKER BACKER, I was planning to cheer for my third favorite team (after the ATL & CLE) but your jerkwad-iness is really harshing my mellow which was difficult to achieve after last Saturday. May I suggest that STFU is appropriate here? Thank you D-Led for squelching the butt submissions.

While they’d rather be practicing for the Super Bowl, it is mighty nice to see Special Weems, GrimeTime & Ovie get a few victory laps. With that many Falcons & coach, I might actually have to watch tag football.

I have always been very skeptical of people who take the luxury of picking and choosing their teams like they’re in line at Piccadilly Cafeteria. You root for the team that represents the place you live or have spent the majority of your life. If you don’t, you are not really a fan and you probably know very little about the sport. I don’t care if you were born in Wisconsin or Nepal. If you have laid roots in this city, then you support the local teams as an extension of pride. I cannot pick a team from an area I have no connection current to and feign my allegiances. It is impossible for the true fan to do.

Thanks, elroy! That’s it, I was going to pull for Green Bay to the extent it would validate the Falcons’ poor performance in some way, but after witnessing the vast unsportsmanship of Packer fans, I’m going for the Steelers. The entire organization from the Rooney family on down simply EXUDES class and they are just a model of consistency – a great blueprint for Dimitroff and Company to follow. Sure Big Ben embarrassed them last summer, but it seems he has owned up to it and is the real leader of that team. Lastly, gotta root for the local kid, Hines Ward! I wish Dan Reeves would have drafted him!

DOL, in Yahoo Sports article today about new metrics, only one Falcon is listed–Grimes was 3rd best in the league in yards allowed per pass. It looks more and more like he had a great season.

Falcons must find quarterback , work on special teams,
I agree. the falcons need a quarterback. No coach can teach you to throw the ball deep. Special teams were great.
Get rid of Matt Ryan.
Spell the name of this poster backwards and you will know who we should get.

We aren’t there, so I don’t care who wins. However, I do get sick of Packer fans who really think that GB is Title Town. Really, if so can the Grey Cup winner get in on some of the tittle claims, how about the usfl champs or xfl champs? Just count Super Bowls you only have three.
