falcons hire terry fontenot as general manager

The Atlanta Falcons have hired their new general manager, as they announced on Tuesday. 

It’s official! We have named Terry Fontenot our next general manager. https://t.co/HKRAGlaOJE

This is the second big hire for the Falcons' front office -- they also hired new head coach Arthur Smith this month. After tons of blown leads and a myriad of disappointment, the team fired general manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Dan Quinn earlier this season. 

Fontenot spent the past 18 seasons with the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans will receive third-round compensatory picks in the 2021 and 2022 NFL Drafts under the new rules that organizations will reward teams for minority hires. 

Fontenot has a lot of work to do this offseason (-cough JulioJonesandMattRyan cough-).

washington is hiring marty hurney for gm role

Another team in need of a severe change: The Washington Football Team is set to hire Marty Hurney as their new general manager as early as Tuesday, as things are currently in the stages of being finalized. ​

Sources: The Washington Football Team is finalizing a deal with Marty Hurney to be its new GM. The Team should announce the move later today.

Hurney was the Carolina Panthers GM from 2002 to 2012, and then again from 2017 to 2020. Hurney joins former colleague Ron Rivera, who was head coach of the Panthers during his time there. 

Washington had a bombshell pick in the 2020 NFL Draft with Chase Young, and the hope is that sort of stuff will continue. Although, in my opinion, nothing will change about that franchise until Dan Snyder is out.

sarah thomas to be first woman to ref a super bowl

Say it with me: "QUEEN SHIT." Referee Sarah Thomas will be the first woman to work a Super Bowl as part of Carl Cheffers​' crew.

Thomas was also the first woman referee in general, but it's a huge barrier broken on such a large stage.
