He's dressed in black and red, and stands on the 50-yard line at the Georgia Dome. His presence is commanding, and his voice is forceful and commanding when he speaks. He's leading a choir. If you're thinking Matt Ryan, Tony Gonzalez or Michael Turner, you're wrong. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons have gone Hollywood for a video promotion released Friday. Actor Samuel L.
