Peppers, Crumpler still 'cool'

Posted Sep 9, 2006

Despite playing his entire six-year career with the Falcons, Alge Crumpler usually receives a warm welcome when Atlanta plays at Carolina. Even his pedigree as a former standout tight end for the Tar Heels, however, is unlikely to keep Crumpler from jeers and insults on Sunday. His cut block of Julius Peppers in a 24-6 loss at Charlotte in Week 13 last year turned many fans against Crumpler. (Columbus Ledger-Enquirer)
