Falcons QB Matt Ryan Grants a Wish For a Close Friend

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and his friend, 16-year-old Alex Van Etten, hung out the day before a game with Ryan's Falcons' teammates and front office staff members. It was a day both Alex and Matt will never forget.

what kind of assholes could dislike this

I am from Pittsburgh and therefore primarily a Steelers fan, but the Falcons are my #2 team. This video is just awesome and all the more reason for me to like and respect them. Matt Ryan is one of my favorite overall players, and this video is again just even more of a reason to respect the guy and what he does. Also, my mom isn't really a football fan, but this video made her cry. To all the Falcons fans out there, know that someone in Steeler Nation is rooting for you guys to win the NFC!
