13. Atlanta Falcons

13. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons' Super Bowl LI loss to the New England Patriots was one of the most devastating losses the football franchise has ever experienced. Unfortunately, the Falcons have not been able to return to Super Bowl form ever since. However, the Falcons are in one of the most difficult divisions in all of football with competition like the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints rivaling the organization in the NFC South.

This year the Atlanta Falcons ended their season 7-9 and couldn't clinch a playoff berth. Julio Jones struggled early on to find his way into the endzone while the Falcons defensive intensity varied from game to game. The Falcons have potential to be great, they just have to come together as a collective and trust the process. Prior to the beginning of the 2018-19 NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons ranked 23rd in fan equity, 10th in social equity, and 13th in road equity.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
