The question was hardly unfamiliar to Falcons fullback Ovie Mughelli. His mother and brother have read him blogs and other online comments -- "They're big Internet people" -- but even they've asked, "Why are you here?"
"My mom asked me and I said, 'Don't get me started,' " Mughelli said.
"I can understand people asking that question, 'Why am I not more involved?' " Mughelli said. "What I would tell them is be patient because if I can do it, they can do it."
Mughelli signed the richest contract ever for a fullback -- six years, $18 million. A relatively unknown player who blossomed last season in Baltimore, Mughelli wants to prove he is worth the money.
Joe Horn:
"I'm frustrated because we're losing," Horn said. "I'm not frustrated, really, because I'm not getting the ball as much as I would like. That's being selfish and I can't be selfish. I'm a receiver. I'm hungry. I'd love to have every ball. It just frustrates me that we're not winning, and that's not happening."
