In this Sunday, Jan. 22, 2017, file photo, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank dances with players after the NFL football NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers in Atlanta. The Falcons won, 44-21, to advance to the Super Bowl LI. One conversation stands out in Blank's year to remember. Blank said Thursday, Jan. 26, he sent a congratulatory text message to coach Dan Quinn in May, when Atlanta was awarded the Super Bowl to be played in 2019. "He texted me back and said 'I plan on playing in it sooner,'" Blank said. (AP Photo/David Goldman, File)
