Curse of the Falcons
EPISODE 5- We Start WINNING!!- Plus the Honest-To-God True Story of the NFC West (1971-74)
A lot going on here… The Falcons learn how to win under the reign of the irascible Norm Van Brocklin, “The Dutchman” shows off his tendency to throw fists at players and press alike, Dave Hampton rushes for 1000 yards then promptly loses it, and Mr. Rankin Smith oversleeps a somewhat impactful meeting. Welcome to the early ‘70s.
