Saturday morning Tweetfest: Turner closing in on OJ, Herschel Walker

10412 ATLANTA: Falcons fans celebrate being 8-0 after defeating the Cowboys at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012. CURTIS COMPTON / CCOMPTON@AJC.COM

Normally on Saturday mornings I’m out at some youth football field with the Smyrna Spartans. But with two evening playoff games today, I found myself with nothing to do and ended up in my own little Falcons’ tweetfest!

(BTW, Good Luck to Coach Bill Harris and the 7-year Spartans and to Coach Broderick Archie and the 8-year old Spartans in the semifinals. Both of them do it the “right way” and are  one win away from the NWGYFL Super Bowl!!!)

Here are some of the tweets:

#Falcons will be without their leading tackler (52) in LB @SeanWSpoon56 (ankle injury).

Is John Madden right about the Falcons? Are they just a “Solid” 8-0 football team.
