Summary

Falcons GM Terry Fontenot tells Rich why he’s very invested in Rich improving his 40-yard dash time for next year’s RunRichRun, why the team went against the grain and selected Texas RB Bijan Robinson #8 overall in the NFL Draft, what he’s expecting out of 2nd-year QB Desmond Ridder after passing on Lamar Jackson and selecting a top QB in the draft, and his reaction to that Falcons superfan getting “28-3” heckled at the draft podium. Rich reveals some big news about Joe Namath and predicts how many New York Jets games will be on national TV this season now that they have Aaron Rodgers.   The guys review the Lakers-Warriors Game 4 that was officiated by controversial referee Scott Foster.
