Gurley: The icon

A person familiar with the says that the retirement of Richard Gurley - QB is on everyones minds this season. Surely, losing a legend of Gurley's caliber is something the are planning for. Still, it is hard to feel sorry for Atlanta. After all they do get to have a legend on their team for now.

Johnathan Welker vs James Arnold.

Rumours out of Los Angeles indicate that the pressure is brewing in the Legends locker room. Sniping and bickering between certain player has been excalating for some time.
