Bon Jovi To Buy In To Falcons...?

Then, would they become Bon Jovi's Birds...???

It's not like this story is a runaway idea- with other stars buying into the Dolphins these days...
And we're not livin' on a prayer with it since it comes from the Winter Meetings in Dallas...
It's not like Arthur Blank's Falcons are wanted dead or alive for new ownership or anything like that...

But Jon Bon Jovi is saying that it's my life and I may want in as a part owner... since his Philadelphia Soul are dormie right now in Arena Football...

If the price is right, the rocker is telling Blank and the Falcons that I'll be there for you in the future...

Chris Mortensen is being told by Blank, however, that it's "not newsworthy at this stage" and, if it was, Mortensen is saying that it would be a 15-percent stake for $150-million... there is also a confidentiality agreement in play at present...

Here's what the Soul were up to on a smaller field... in 2008, as a example, when they won it all...

NFL Playoffs: Packers, Rodgers Shoot Down The Falcons

Pardon Atlanta Falcons fans if they have visions of 30 years ago. The 1980 Falcons had the best record in the NFL heading into the playoffs but had nothing to show for it. Danny White led the Dallas Cowboys to a come-from-behind win in the Divisional Playoff. Do you remember? This will help. Vin Scully and George Allen were in the booth for CBS Sports.

30 years later the Falcons had the best record in the NFC, home field advantage throughout the playoffs and will have nothing to show for it.

The Green Bay Packers destroyed the Falcons 48-21, or should I say Aaron Rodgers did it.

The Packers quarterback could do nothing wrong. Aaron Rodger went 31-of-36 passes (86.1 percent) for 366 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for a 136.8 passer rating. On third down Rodgers was off the charts going 10-for-10 on third down for 151 yards, with eight of those throws going for first downs as the Packers finished the night 8-of-12 (66.7 percent) on third down.

How many times did Rodgers' legs help avoid blitzing Falcon defenders?

"Aaron Rodgers was excellent today." Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said. "His ability to play a run/pass mix, especially in the first three quarters, was impressive. In or outside the pocket, he was on fire."

"I just got into a rhythm not only throwing the football but moving around in the pocket." Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "It’s just a special night.”

Here's the highlights from the Georgia Dome. (Thanks Youtube.com/Fox Sports)

DEVELOPING: Carolina's Brayton Fined $15K

((HT: FoxSports))

And we thought the NY Jets Sal Alosi was the only sideline hit out of bounds...

This one is worse...

Carolina Panthers defensive end Tyler Brayton was fined $15,000 for hitting Atlanta's Chris Owens out of bounds in last week's game.

And we mean REALLY out of bounds...

The fine was levied back on Friday, but not made public until Sunday. Brayton will not face a possible suspension or any further disciplinary action since the fine is already in play and announced.

Brayton hit Owens in the head after he was forced off the field during a punt return last week.

The evidence is below...

Here's Jay Glazer and FOSG Curt Menefee discussing the Zapruder-like tape...
