Summary

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan tells Rich why he’s excited to learn the system of new head coach Arthur Smith, how he reacted on draft night when the Falcons selected Florida TE Kyle Pitts, what Pitts brings to the field for the Atlanta and what he can learn from former Falcon TE and Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, and his reaction to Rich’s brand new nickname for him, Pitts, Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley that rivals his failed “The Matural” bid.    Comedian and die-hard Falcons Sarah Tiana (Chris Brockman’s better half) calls in to weigh in on Rich’s “Pitts-Tastic Four” idea and suggest “The Matt-Tastic Four” might be a MUCH better option.    Rich debates a caller on whether Aaron Rodgers is deserving of the same deference the Buccaneers have shown Tom Brady in terms of having some influence over his team’s roster and personnel moves.   Rich wraps up the hour paying homage to the great comic actor Charles Grodin who passed away today at the age of 86.
