Sunday 6:30PM May 29th, 2011
Yes folks, you read it right! Mike Murphy's long standing Falcons ironman streak has come to end at 160 games due to an undisclosed illness.![](https://www.falconsslopitch.com/images/tmp/mike-streak-ends-sepia.gif)
Appears word got out as the stands at K2 were packed with 7 or 8 people in hopes of witnessing this momentous occasion.
Some were even overheard saying: "This is one of those events like the JFK assassination, and 9-11, and when he Blue Jays won the World Series: you'll always remember where you were when it happened".
In a post-game text message, he commented about the legendary streak coming to end: "Eh, it was a good run. For the record, I did everything to shake this off in time, including duct tape noodle soup. It had to happen sooner or later. It was a good run. And don't forget, uhhh it's a little known fact that uhhh, the streak was 119 (his previous streak) the last time it was broken."

There will be no new streaks says the Falcons' former Ironman. Once you've eaten duct tape soup you'll realize the streak just isn't that important.
