PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn ATLAnTA FALCOnS Team History The date of June 30, 1965 will always be remembered as a most significant day in Atlanta’s sports history. That day, the National Football League awarded its 15th franchise to the city, marking an end to a long struggle by the Georgia capital city to obtain a professional football team. The franchise was awarded to 41-year-old Rankin M. Smith, a successful life insurance executive, for $8.5 million. One of Smith’s first orders of business was to announce a contest to provide a nickname for the new team. The name “Falcons” was suggested by many, but a school teacher from Griffin, Ga. was declared the winner. “The Falcon is proud and dignified,” she wrote, “with great courage and fight. It never drops its prey. It is deadly and has a great sporting tradition.” Excited Georgia fans showed their enthusiasm and appreciation by buying season tickets in record numbers. By Christmas Eve, when the Falcons cut off a brief 54-day ticket sale requiring almost no promotion, an NFL record had been established for a new team with the sale of 45,000 season tickets. Minnesota was the previous record-holder with 26,000 sales in 1961. Midway through the ticket campaign, the Falcons participated in their first NFL draft on November 27, 1965. Their first pick was an Outland Trophy-winning linebacker from the University of Texas, Tommy Nobis. Nobis was also drafted by Houston of the American Football League but he signed a Falcons contract on December 14.

Some Spiritual Footprints of Isaac Wednesday, May 19, 2021 Genesis 17:1-22
Some Spiritual Footprints of Isaac Wednesday, May 19, 2021 Genesis 17:1-22 Introduction: On Wednesday nights, we are looking in the Bible at different people who left spiritual footprints for us to follow. Outside the Bible there are not as many people with spiritual footprints to follow as there used to be. Illustration: When I was growing up and when I was a young man, there were more people in public life that we looked up to then than there are today. 1. In politics: Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter are good footprints to follow. 2. In sports: Coach Tom Landry, Kurt Warner, Reggie White, Joe Gibbs, Tony Dungy, Deion Sanders and Tim Tebow are good examples to follow. 3. In entertainment: Patricia Heaton, Chuck Norris, and Kathie Lee Gifford are good footprints to follow. None of these were or are perfect. The People in the Bible were not perfect either, but many left good spiritual footprints to follow. Isaac is certainly on this list. Things about Isaac: 1. Isaac is mentioned in the Bible before he was born (Genesis 17:1-22). 2. We know very little about his early life except that he was circumcised at eight days of age (Genesis 21:4). 3. Isaac lived most of his life in the shadow of his father Abraham and his son Jacob. 4. Isaac is the second of the patriarchs of Israel. 5. Isaac is the only son of Abraham and Sarah. 6. Isaac is the father of Esau and Jacob. 7. Isaac lived to be 180 years old (Genesis 35:28-29).
