Dear Santa, Please get this man out of here!

Drop him up on the north pole on some of that thin ice that I keep hearing about.

"I can't do this no more," (DeAngelo) Hall said.  "I won't do this no more, let me say that. I will not be a part of a losing team another year, no matter what I got to do, no matter who hates me, whatever.  I won't be a part of a losing team again, not if I can help it. "

Hall remains an outspoken critic of (former Head Coach Bobby) Petrino, who resigned ... after just 13 games and left for Arkansas.  Despite missing the Pro Bowl team ..., Hall insists he's more upset that the Falcons are in disarray after (Team Owner Arthur ) Blank fired (former Head Coach) Jim Mora and replaced him with Petrino.  Hall, a former No. 8 overall draft pick, grew so tired of what he described as an unapproachable attitude from Petrino that he still doesn't regret their sideline fight in Week 3.  Hall also believes he was justified to carry a poster of imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick onto the Georgia Dome field two weeks ago.

"You've got to understand, too, that this is a new generation, a new kind of player," Hall said. "The rah-rah, threatening (approaches) don't really work no more ."

No DeAngelo, you don't understand.  It's about submission and respect.  Sometimes you have to let others call the shots, do what your told and keep your mouth shut.

And the kicker?

"I don't think it's come to, 'Get me out of here right now,"' Hall said. "I wouldn't say that, but it's just that the offseason ... (is) definitely going to be interesting to see who we bring in, what free agents are available to go after, what draft picks we make to try to get better."

No, Deangelo, let me use what you call your persistent willingness to be "brutally honest."  It's come down to we need to get you out of here right now.  We will be going after free agent cornerbacks curently playing for Oakland and Seattle, and trading your sorry #### for whatever we can get for it.
