Todd Graffagnini hates the Atlanta Falcons. He HATES them. So this makes me a bad friend.
You see Todd, an unabashed New Orleans Saints fan, is the godfather to my youngest son. I scheduled my son's 2-year-old birthday party the afternoon of this year's NFC Championship Game. My extended family knew a Todd meltdown was on the horizon before the game even started.
Mohamed Sanu caught a touchdown pass from Matt Ryan midway through the first quarter in the Falcons' 44-21 romp of the Green Bay Packers en route to Super Bowl 51. Todd sat in a completely different room than the rest of the party.
