Surprise!

I'm stunned at this:
For the fifth time in seven games, Atlanta Falcons coach Bobby Petrino is making a quarterback switch in an effort to jump-start his sagging offense, with little-used Chris Redman taking over as the starter for Monday night's game against New Orleans.

The start will be Redman's first in a regular-season game since Oct. 20, 2002, when he was playing with the Baltimore Ravens. Since that game, he has thrown only 24 passes.

"It's unbelievable," Redman said. "I have a chance to be on a pedestal that I never thought I would be on again, to be honest. I want to take advantage of this opportunity."

Truthfully, I didn't even know Redman was back in the league. Last I'd heard of him he had signed with the Austin Wranglers of the Arena league.

Of course, this just further proves the problems the Falcons have these days. And, with the Ravens luck, he'll probably be the league MVP next year...
