Season 2 is unbelievably good trust me,” he said in the social media post containing video of a Power advertisement. “I have the best writers and show runner. I like Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson. I don’t like that They would copy the Marketing.” In a previous post, 50 Cent displays a picture of both Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson and asks women who they like more. “Empire VS. Power LADIES what’s up you be the judge. LMAO.”

Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith Fired

Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith has been released from his contract.

A team spokesperson confirmed the firing to 11Alive News Monday morning. It will be officially announced during a press conference at 11 a.m.

NBC Sports first reported early Monday that Smith is “absolutely done,” and Falcons owner Arthur Blank has already hired a search firm to find a new head coach.

The team had five winning seasons under Smith’s leadership, but a 4-12 season followed by a 6-10 season sealed his fate.

Falcons fans suffered another heartbreaking loss after the team was mauled by the Carolina Panthers Sunday.
