Falcons owner Arthur Blank is as emotionally invested as any owner in professional sports. He admits he’s still psychologically hung over from the Falcons’ 48-21 loss in the Georgia Dome two weeks ago. He is going to Dallas for Super Bowl week – only he’s not really going to the Super Bowl according to Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
“I leave Thursday, we have meetings and then the hosting owner [Jerry Jones] always has a party Thursday night,” Blank said. “Then Friday morning the commissioner has a press conference, and I’ll go to that. Friday afternoon I’ll go to radio row for interviews. Friday night is the commissioner’s party. Saturday we were going to have a league meeting but that’s been canceled, so I guess I’ve got some free time.”
“I’m coming home Sunday morning — mostly because I’m still pissed about our game,” he said. “My emotional thermometer is different than when I first became an owner.”
“You don’t look ahead,” he added, “but we certainly believed we would get deeper than we did.”
