| 0:15.4 | Welcome to the athletic football show. |
| 0:17.7 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:18.6 | Today's Monday, March 21st. |
| 0:20.3 | Join me today. It's my good friend Nate Tyson. Nate, how you doing, buddy? I'm very happy. We pushed us back maybe what an hour, and then we have enough time to not only have a trade that we get to talk about. And then also the ramifications of that trade because other moves happen, as opposed to what usually happens for you, what, 35 minutes into each show, usually something happens. Or 35 minutes after we're done recording. It's one of those, too. Yeah, it's, we had a plan for today. We had a plan for today. It was going to kind of be the post-free agency rush start of our off-season coverage. And then, of course, the Matt Ryan trade happens this morning. So just take a lighter and torch that plan.

| 1:32.1 | You, I listened to it this morning. |
| 1:34.1 | You said, is Matt Ryan tradable when you were thinking about the Colts options? |
| 1:37.8 | And it made total sense from a lot of different levels. |
| 1:41.8 | They needed a stop cap option. |
| 1:43.5 | He was arguably the best immediate fit on the board in terms of what you could get out of him |
