This Jan. 27, 2017 photo shows Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff answering questions from the media at the NFL football team's practice facility in Flowery Branch, Ga. A string of emails that began in 2010 with the Atlanta Falcons head trainer and reached all the way to owner Arthur Blank showed a franchise worried about its ”excessive” reliance on painkillers to treat players and the potential embarrassment that could cause the team and the NFL. Nearly every recipient on the email chain _ from Blank, president Rich McKay and general manager Thomas Dimitroff to then-head athletic trainer Marty Lauzon _ is still with the team, which plays New England in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
