I was absolutely shocked when I saw the headlines and then the tweet from Falcons placekicker Matt Bryant. The words at the top of his tweet seemed surreal and unimaginable. I had to check my calendar to be sure it wasn’t April 1st.
“I was informed last night that the team was moving on from my services and that I would be released.”
Say it isn’t so, Money Matt! This can’t be how it ends.
But end it will, and it’s a sad day for the Atlanta Falcons and their fans. Don’t tell me I’m talking about someone who’s “just a kicker”, because Matt Bryant has always been more than that to this team and to this community.
