Sir don't think an apology is needed, and could not agree more with your evaluation of AJC. Once upon a time I did some freelance writing for the mullet wrapper. Back in the day, people like Jesse Outlar, and of course Furman Bisher were the mainstays in print for what was a really good sports section.
Along the lines of growing up in the 50's, that was good, but the 60's and 70's had a lot more sizzle. Managed to have my share of fun through those years also. Back in the day when Atlanta was a safe and great place to party.
My first season tickets (1960's) were purchased through Mrs. Whitehead (think that was her name) in the North Stands. The train coming through . . . how ya gonna match that in any stadium. So much has been lost with the new ultra-modern stadiums that somehow don't have that nostalgic appeal. Little too glitzy for this old fart. Bourbon and coke . . . .what he said . . . .
Enjoy both you and wlayton, keep up the good work and let us hope that this Dawg Defense comes through this year, could be exciting. Go Dawgs!
Edit: Back in the day there was the Atlanta Constitution in the morning and Atlanta Journal in the evening. Outlar with the Constitution and Bisher with the Journal.
