Atlanta Falcons

Tom Brady's gonna have to earn his millions in week 4 of NFL action as the New England Patriots face a tough road opponent in the Atlanta Falcons.

The Pats won 2 games by the skin of their teeth this season. Harv can relate ... he's 2-1. So, let's find out who our pigskin soothsayer is riding this week ...

Charles: New England at Atlanta, who ya got?
Harvey: I'm going with New England ... because the one thing Tom Brady, and especially Gisele, don't like is ugly. And Brady has had ugly wins pretty much all season.

Charles: Except for that Bucs game, but that's the Bucs. Why not pick Atlanta at home?
Harvey: I like the Falcons good enough. In fact, one of their star players used to live with this news chick I know in L.A. -- but it just comes back to Brady being a winner.

Charles: I hate to say it, but Tom Brady is getting kinda old, and Matt Ryan's the young gun.
Harvey: In a weird way, Brady has to be especially charged because Ryan is gunning to be the next Tom -- maybe a little too much.

Charles: You keep saying you think Brady's got retirement on his mind, but --
Harvey: Look, everybody thinks I'm crazy to say it, but if you saw Brady's house in L.A. ... let's just say it beats a brownstone. So, I think he wants to go out with a bang, and we're not just talking Gisele.

The Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones is a superstar wide receiver, which basically means no matter how many TDs he scores -- some freakin' quarterback will steal the spotlight!

Y'know, 'cause they're all selected for their looks ... is what someone wants you to believe.

Michael Turner's days in the NFL ain't over yet ... the ex-Falcons running back tells TMZ he's "pretty sure" he'll return to the field in 2013.

31-year-old Turner was leaving LAX Monday when we asked if he's found a new squad after parting ways with Atlanta after the 2012 season.

"I'm still relaxing right now," Turner said ... "Still waiting."

Doesn't seem like he's gonna have to wait long -- sources connected to the 2010 and 2011 NFC rushing leader tell us there's real interest from "multiple teams."

We're also told Michael's been busting his incredibly large ass in the off-season and feels back to his old self after suffering groin and elbow injuries last year.

We also asked Turner about Tim Tebow in New England -- Turner suggested we should be more concerned about Tom Brady.

NFL running back Michael Turner struck a pretty sweet deal in his DUI case -- and if he stays out of trouble, he won't have to spend a single minute behind bars ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... the former Atlanta Falcons star was arrested for driving under the influence in Georgia hours after a Monday Night Football game back in September.

Now, we've learned ... he hammered out a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to plead guilty to reckless driving and speeding ... and in exchange, the DUI was dropped.

Turner was sentenced to 1 year probation and 30 days of community service. He was also ordered to complete a risk reduction program and submit to random drug testing.

Kim Zolciak's NFL star husband Kroy Biermann wants to pack on about 200 lbs ... OF LOVE ... as he's decided to legally adopt the "Real Housewives" star's two girls from her previous marriage.

Sources tell TMZ ... Kroy is set to file paperwork in Georgia court (it's a process) to become the legal father of 15-year-old Brielle and 11-year-old Ariana. FYI -- the girls' biological father has been out of the picture for awhile.

According to our sources, Kroy -- who plays for the Atlanta Falcons -- considers the girls his own and wants to make it official. We're told Kim already gave her blessing and the girls are 100% on board.

Kroy is headed to court next month, where a judge will have to sign off on the adoption.

He definitely saw this coming ... but now Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has been hit with divorce papers from his estranged wife ... TMZ has learned.

Blank -- the BILLIONAIRE who co-founded Home Depot -- had previously announced he and Stephanie Blank separated in 2011 ... after 16 years of marriage.

Now, Stephanie -- the mother of Arthur's three children -- has pulled the trigger ... filing divorce docs in Fulton County, GA.

According to the papers, Stephanie claims the union has been "irretrievably broken" ... but the good news -- the two have already hammered out a settlement that covers money, custody and property.

The terms of the settlement are confidential -- but with Art reportedly worth $1.3 BILLION ... Stephanie stands to get some serious green.

As for the couple's three minor kids ... Stephanie says she and Art have put together a "comprehensive Parenting Plan" ... but the terms of the plan are also confidential.

Back when they split, the couple had released a joint statement saying they "remain great friends and are committed to working together to parent their three wonderful children."

Former NFL star Jamal Anderson took a beating on his Georgia mansion ... TMZ has learned his primo crib was sold off at a foreclosure auction ... for $225,000 LESS than what Jamal paid.

Jamal -- who played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1994 to 2001 -- bought the MASSIVE 10-bedroom, 9-bath crib way back in 1999 (when he had an NFL contract) for $1.225 million.

According to official records, Anderson defaulted on his mortgage ... so the bank foreclosed the home and recently sold it at auction for an even $1,000,000.

It was a STEAL for the buyer ... the pad is over 6,000 square feet, sits on 2 acres and is rockin' a separate guest house, arcade room, media room, pool and spa.

The New Orleans Saints got a rude and messy welcome to Atlanta last night ... as airport workers hurled eggs at a charter bus carrying the team!

The smelly assault went down moments after the Saints got off the plane in Atlanta and boarded a bus. Officials at Atlanta's airport confirm that eggs were thrown at the bus as it drove off the tarmac.

Several Saints players, including star tight end Jimmy Graham, blamed airport workers for the incident.

Graham tweeted ...

Airport officials say they are scrambling to find out who's unleashed the eggy hell.

The Saints flew in for tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons -- and we're guessing the egg culprits are big fans of the dirty birds.

Atlanta Falcons sack king John Abraham refused to be stopped last night by police who were dealing with a suicidal woman ... and, as a result, got himself arrested on two charges of obstruction.

Abraham was busted by Atlanta PD when he allegedly refused to leave an area officers had taped off because a woman was threatening to jump off a building.

Abraham -- the NFL's active career sacks leader with 114 -- got out of jail early Tuesday morning on $7,000 bond.

The Falcons are 0 for 2 with cops this season -- the team's star running back Michael Turner was busted for DUI and speeding last week in Atlanta.

BTW ... the woman did not jump.

After Vick's four-minute speech, a rep with the Humane Society of the United States went up to the podium to retrieve his microphone, and found the note left by Vick containing his talking points.

Vick's big idea: apologize, apologize, apologize. The six-point speech calls for him to "apologize for what I've done;" apologize to his coach and team; tell young kids that "I acted immature;" ask for "forgiveness and understanding;" "take full responsibility for my actions;" and remind people that "we all make mistakes."
