Falcons drop Joey Harrington

In the NFL's preseason, like fashion, one day you are in and the next day you are out. That pretty much sums up sexy and scruffy Joey Harrington's career with the Atlanta Falcons.

He was there last season to start 10 games after Michael Vick went to prison. Earlier this season, he was pushed aside in favor of Matt Ryan, the rookie with the six-year, $72 million contract. Now, he's been dumped altogether, missing out on the third QB slot for the Falcons.

There's more after the jump.

Bryan Clay likes his Wheaties

There’s nothing quite like getting your day started munching on some Wheaties and staring at the orange box featuring decathlete Bryan Clay, who’s ripples and bulges tranfixed many a gay Olympic fan this month. Starting in September, you’ll get just that chance.

General Mills, maker of the crispy flakes, announced that Clay and gymnast Nastia Liukin will get their own special edition Wheaties boxes. Liukin won five gold medals in Beijing and helped the U.S. win silver in the competition. Clay was the first American to win the decathlon since Dan O’Brien did so in 1996. Michael Phelps, by the way, is heading to General Mills rival Kellogg.

Check out the box covers after the jump.

Falcons’ big sigh of relief

Imagine that you're tooling along in your car heading to work and wham -- you're stuck in a fender bender. Sticking with the scenario, imagine still that when the people in the other vehicle step out to asses the damage, they are three hunky professional athletes. Ah, yes. The dream of many a gay sports fan.

It's also what happened to one (un)lucky driver on Thursday. After a collision, out stepped a trio of Atlanta Falcons -- Matt Ryan (left), Brian Finneran and D.J. Shockley. It seem they were driving to practice for a walk-through before the team's final preseason match against Baltimore. No one was hurt, though Arthur Blank and other front office staff at Falcons HQ did suffer from elevated heart beats and puckered butts when they first heard Ryan -- the face of the franchise who earlier this year signed a 6-year, $72-million contract -- was in a car crash.

Do you think Blank even asked about the other passengers?
