Koolaid Time
Drink Up!
July 7 was the "deadline" for Falcons season ticket renewals. It is an interesting coincidence...
"On July 6, the same day federal investigators were back in Surry County, Va., digging up Michael Vicks little yard of horrors, ESPN erroneously reported the Falcons quarterback would not be indicted.
On July 7, Orlando Daniels of Acworth, facing a deadline and buoyed by the report, submitted his deposit for two club-level season tickets at $1,390.
Ten days later, Vick was indicted.
Ever feel like you just paid a premium for drilling rights, only to hit sand? Evidence is all over the Internet. Since Vicks tenure with the team unofficially ended with news of a plea agreement, fans have flooded eBay, Craigslist and StubHub with their season tickets. The Web suddenly looks like a surf shop in Des Moines.
Dude, there are people selling season tickets on the lower level, 50-yard line for below face value, said Daniels, who had been on a waiting list for tickets for three years. Thats unheard of in any market.
Daniels is more than sick. Hes jumping head-first into the conspiracy pool. He believes its too big of a coincidence that the ESPN report coincided with his deadline to purchase tickets, and charged that the Falcons and owner Arthur Blank leaked the news to spur ticket sales. Nothing like a ticking Hail Mary to start the year.
At the end of the day my gut instinct tells me that Blank, with millions of dollars at risk, had something to do with the [ESPN] story or the [timing of the] indictment, Daniels said. Im as upset as anybody about Mike. But I believe a bigger fraud has happened people bought into a press story and made a financial commitment based on false or misleading information.
