Curse of the Falcons
A podcast for Falcons fans by Falcons fans. Join Chuck and Dan, both lifelong Falcons fans, for an in-depth journey through Falcons history. We feel every bit of your pain. We’re going to examine the Falcons historically more in-depth than any single podcast ever has. From Ernie “The Wheel” Wheelwright to Bijan Robinson, this is the place where we gather together to tape up and get back out on the field. Is THIS The Year? Surely it can’t continue… can it?… Join us weekly as we endeavor to Reverse the Curse!
