If you're like me, and you're a big fan of a sports team, you'll know exactly what it's like. When I'm watching the Atlanta Falcons play, its much more than just a game. When I sit down in the stadium or infront of the TV, I know I'm part of the team, I'm part of something bigger. You'll know yourself. You can feel it in your bones: every yard lost or gained, every result or near miss, you can feel in your blood because your team means so much. And if you're like me and you're a die-hard supporter, you'll know you just can't stop thinking about it.

I bought Falcons wallpaper for my house, I own several different jerseys, and I even have Falcons wallpaper on my computer desktop. You either feel it, or you don't, but if you do, you'll know you have to show your loyal and faithful support at all times.

It was my wife who caused the problems with my wallpaper. She outright objected when I bought it a couple of years ago, as she was the one responsible for the decor in the house. OK, so she had good taste, and she wasn't the type to go for flowers and old-lady patterns. She was more into pastille colors with abstract prints and paintings to complement. But with the Falcons paper, I wanted to show my passion and love for the team. I only wanted to put it in the one room, where I watched most of the games. At least that way I could show my support for my favorite football team, even if it's only for the benefit of myself and my friends.

Eventually, after realizing I was determined and that I wasn't going to submit she let me keep it so long as I promised not to paper any other rooms with it again. I stuck to my word, but I did not stop at decorating with wallpaper. I bought loads of related ornaments like little Falcons helmets and other souvenirs to make a shrine to my favorite team. I can tell the wife hates it but she just doesn't understand. I love my shrine, even though it is only ever for me and my buddies, but I just love showing my passion for the Falcons in any way I can. I simply have to some how show my support for the team.
