Composing himself to read the review of his first novel was a different story. Elam was jittery and tense.

"I put on a thick skin thinking people would rip it apart," Elam said with a laugh.

But the 37-year-old kicker's first foray into the world of literary fiction has drawn positive reviews. Elam and Denver pastor Steve Yohn's first novel, "Monday Night Jihad," hit bookstores last week. The suspense thriller combines football, religion and a spy adventure in which the hero tries to thwart a terrorist plot.

So far, the reviews have been glowing:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7591040?MSNHPHCP&GT1=10734


In the Atlanta Falcons' attempt to rebuild their football operations, they apparently are considering becoming a sort of Chargers Southeast.'

League sources said yesterday the Falcons have made overtures to former Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer about being their next head coach and are considering hiring Chargers Assistant General Manager Buddy Nix to be their general manager.

http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20071221/news_1s21chnotes.html


So now on top of everything else that has made this the ultimate season from hell, we have this shocking indignity. The always reserved, completely laid back, 24-7 politically correct superstar wide receiver is caught on camera in a very public, nationally televised, expletive-filled, up-close-and-personal tirade against the embattled head coach that might even make Terrell Owens blush.

Torry Holt never lets you see him sweat. Holt never lets you inside his closely guarded emotional shell. He never drops his guard when the cameras are rolling or quietly whispers his displeasure in strategic off-the-record asides when the lights are dimmed. But on Thursday night with the Rams in the final moments of a 41-24 flameout against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, Holt blew his top and lost his cool , and the NFL Network cameras caught him unleashing a vulgar tirade against Scott Linehan.

I don't know where she is
 
Marty is a terrific coach. However, I don't think Atlanta should have ever shit-canned Mora; be patient, for crying out loud, Falcons.

And the Dolphins aren't as bad as people say they are. Lost 7 games by 3 or less. Falcons are worse.

Status: offline 		Actually, he wasn't so bad when he had a chance to play.  I think he has a much higher ceiling than Kyle Orton.  QB's who come right in and start producing are really pretty rare, and it's what people have started to expect.  Even Romo bounced around for a while before getting his shot with the Cowboys.  So I think Grossman deserves another year.  It's not like they have Sid Luckman on that bench.

Edited to add: Oh, and it was noticeable how the Cowboys sputtered in the second half without TO.  I think they might be in trouble in the playoffs.  Fortunately they have a few weeks to straighten everything out.

I wonder if Parcels trades that number one pick of the Dolphins for the Boys two number ones? McFadden?

I hope not, Bull. I'd rather get two good players than one.

I didn't even know there WAS an East Carolina?
