Hello and welcome.

It's our number two.

Our number two of the Ben Maller Radio show and podcast format with limited commercial interruption.

So hour number two, beginning with the Atlanta Falcons treading water unable to separate from quarterback Matt Ryan.

We believe that's a mistake.

We also point out the salary cap being a myth in Atlanta, the Falcons, the latest NFL team,

to prove that as the gospel.

That and more.

It's coming your way right now in our number two.

Treading water in Hotlanda.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather show.

We are in the air everywhere as we rant in rave, coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast and powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from inside the theater, the theater of the mind.

Our lead this hour comes from the renegotiating table of the NFL as the free agents, free agents continue to move about.

The merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round.

And the Atlanta Falcons made a head-scratching move.

I don't know if you saw this or not.

Maybe you were not paying attention because of other events in your life.

But we learned that Atlanta has reworked the Matt Ryan contract to keep him under center in Georgia for the 20-21 season

and plausibly beyond the 2021 season.

Wee!
