In retrospect, DeAngelo Hall doesn't seem like the crazy one when compared to that bumbling taskmaster, Bobby Petrino. He's still obnoxious, but relative to the Falcons head coach, Hall's occasionally random demands don't seem quite so ridiculous:

"I can't do this no more," Hall said. "I won't do this no more, let me say that. I will not be a part of a losing team another year, no matter what I got to do, no matter who hates me, whatever. I won't be a part of a losing team again, not if I can help it."

There you have it. Hall ain't gonna do this no more. If that means more people hate him, fine. He's tired of losing, even if some losses are all Hall's fault.

Who woulda thought this team would miss Jim Mora? But that's exactly the case less than 12 months after owner Arthur Blank canned the smilingest coach in NFL history. To Hall's credit, he did indicate that he'd be willing to stay around if the next coach isn't a sociopath in the mold of Petrino, but he's not willing to rule out requesting a trade either.

NFL teams always have a need for cornerbacks, even those cornerbacks that are overrated. Hall will certainly have teams lining up for his services, but it likely won't be for the huge second contract he's looking for. One option is to sign a short-term deal packed with incentives, and test the market again in a couple of seasons. Or he could take his chances in the A.T.L. with a yet-to-be-named coach.

All this silliness makes you wonder why Blank fired Dan Reeves in the first place.
