"Arthur Blank was not happy with how last season turned out and he wanted to let Atlanta know all about his angst.

He broke from his usual clinical approach and bared his soul to Falcons fans in a news conference that was carried live on local radio from his Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation's offices in Buckhead.

Not many owners around the NFL have held this type of event where he let everyone know just how disappointed — he used the word "angry" when prodded by a radio personality — he was with the Falcons' 10-6 record and early exit from the wild-card round of the playoffs."
