00:00be thinking yeah for sure um i just i wonder if in this era where we're in right now in
00:05college
00:05football if there's even more guys that are just like you know what i am a coordinator i think this
00:11is what i want to be i don't really have any interest in having to ceo this thing in the
00:17middle of all of some of them just don't want to go recruiting yeah and so they're like i'll be
00:21a
00:21coordinator you figure out recruiting going recruiting it's having those extortion meetings
00:25where the yeah second string cornerback comes in and tells you he wants two hundred thousand dollars
00:29and a ferrari and it's like dude you no we can't do that you're not a ferrari type player this
00:37is why
00:37i want an inside look at like three weeks in arthur smith's current life yeah yeah he's kind of a
00:46good
00:46example of this like there's just no way he's taking visits or those meetings no there's no
00:52world in which he's recruiting the players done to ohio state but he can coach some offense yeah
00:57they want him there well they did the same thing with chip kelly right like chip kelly but where is
01:02he now didn't he just get hired i was about to say he'll never be a head coach again but
01:06it's possible
01:06that he just got hired to be a head coach somewhere um like oregon state or something anyway uh he's
01:13uh
01:13at northwestern northwest no he's he i think he's done head coaching i think he mentioned that but he's
01:17the oc at northwestern he should be like he's he's a perfect fit to just sort of be uh a
01:23gun for
01:23hire every couple of years in a different college football situation it works if you have works at
01:29ohio state all those guys yes sure and it really here's the thing it really only worked its best
01:35for four games like they kind of had a bumpy road and then got beat by michigan and then they
01:41were
01:42like you know what we'll do we'll just throw it to jeremiah smith a whole bunch and hand it to
01:45quenchon and it worked when they got to the college football playoff um yeah i know that's
01:49the thing about that's been true of chip kelly for like 15 years now what he certainly was
01:55revolutionary there's no question about it but now everybody does it everybody caught up to him
01:59and he still gets treated as this offensive genius which he was an innovator at the time
02:04at the time i don't know very key words here i don't know that he's innovated his innovation but
02:09anyway that's neither here nor there i just wonder we'll get more into some college football i just
02:13like sour coaches like really going after it and jim schwartz was like ready to get after and also
02:18coaches that are kind of like i think i've kind of done what i'm gonna do that's the other part
02:22of it
02:22yeah he was a head coach and he's you know he's been around and it's like look my my resume
02:27speaks for
02:28itself at this point i'm in the fraternity i'm gonna have jobs as a coordinator i might not be a
02:33head
02:33coach again and i'm like 65 so let's just let it fly let's let's see let's just answer these questions
02:39honestly um we're saying we'll get more into some of the college football conversation tomorrow i know
02:46that the hearing on the protect college sports act was today and so we'll have some commentary coming
02:52out of that of course the big 10 and the sec opposed it which i do think like i under
02:56i understand
02:56their opposition of it i do find the headlines funny of the big 10 and sec banned together against
03:02the protect college sports act that's just like reading that sentence is kind of oxymoronic like yes
03:08they do in fact do not they do not care about protecting college sports that seems very obvious
03:13anyway we'll get to that uh tomorrow let's get to the big story of the day now kick off the
03:19one
03:19o'clock hour brought to you by qc kinetics non-surgical treatment for joint pain
03:25robinson with pennix there we go here's the snap they bring five again they'll throw for london
03:30did he hang on he did touchdown atlanta oh this is an unbelievable drake london has done it again
03:41oh my goodness drake london has called his third touchdown pass of the day oh man remember that
03:48and atlanta within an extra point of tying the score with 440 to go was that against the patriots
03:53i think it was what a what a performance um i was gonna ask was that the did we miss
03:59that extra
03:59point i think so that was that extra point and lost 24 23 i think so we missed that extra
04:06point
04:06yeah i think probably oh what a season man what a season that's not the point or the extra point
04:12the point is that drake london signed a four-year contract extension yesterday with the falcons
04:17worth up to 150 million dollars 100 million of it is guaranteed it makes him the third highest
04:22paid wide receiver as we stand right now and locks him up as the uh the the wide receiver one
04:27in the
04:28falcons offense for the next handful of years which is great he's earned it and we we've talked a lot
04:34of different sort of angles on on this thing um throughout the the show today one of my main
04:40takes on this is to earn it under these circumstances pretty impressive he's had four different quarterbacks in
04:49four years who have varied from awful to like kind of okay i guess there was a stretch with kirk
04:58cousins
04:58that was pretty good at the beginning or in the middle of year one with kirk uh but by and
05:03large
05:04he's just had to figure out how to play with a bunch of different quarterbacks and a couple of
05:08different offensive coordinators as well uh to put up these type of numbers in those in under those
05:14circumstances is impressive hopefully now the next phase of drake london's career here in atlanta
05:19doesn't have to we don't have to say that we don't have to caveat right imagine what he could
05:23do if he actually had some competent quarterback play we'll see like obviously that's the biggest
05:27question mark they have going into this year but uh good on drake london man yeah i think and i
05:32know
05:32there are some people who are saying this but i think the biggest compliment to drake is i'm not
05:36really hearing there's that's too much money for him or this is a bad deal i i just a lot
05:41of that's what
05:41he deserved and he's in line and a lot of actual measured approaches in terms of the value as we
05:47continue to see other wide receivers surpass him i think it's a great deal and i compared it to aj
05:52terrell and what he signed a couple years ago when he became one of the top paid cornerbacks and now
05:57he's you know number nine and dental ward's gonna pass him he'll be number 10 and and whatever uh i
06:03just
06:03view this is is the same way and it just feels like a good value for the franchise and it
06:11just
06:11it also just answers one of the big questions of the offseason it was always going to be hanging
06:17around their head we don't have to go into training camp asking him every day asking cunningham every
06:22day asking stefanski every day hey what are the conversations like is this going to continue into
06:28the season or is it being cut off like all that stuff is just off the table and i did
06:32kind of mention
06:33like i i also felt there was a little bit of awkwardness potentially if you had signed bajon to
06:38extension but not drake that's also gone now yeah it's nice you don't have to deal with any of the
06:42potential like five stories negative training camp yeah narrative stuff yeah like he's a really good
06:49player that you like at a really important position sign him up keep him long term same thing is true
06:54with bajon and and i assume that they'll do that before training camp comes around there as well
07:01um oh i lost it i had one last oh yes here found it there it is you're looking at
07:06me i got nothing
07:07where was it there it is the other thing too and i this doesn't this isn't like that big of
07:11a part of
07:11it but it's a it's part of it is they just really like him in the locker room yeah like
07:17guys rave about
07:18the type of teammate that he is the type of worker that he is like they put zachariah branch's locker
07:23right
07:23next to him for a reason so he could sort of learn under his wing as a wide receiver like
07:28there's something to be said about having and at that position specifically we're not everybody's
07:32built like that right um there's something to be said about having a wide receiver that you can trust
07:37as sort of like a like a leader of your team type of guy again you don't give him 35
07:42million dollars
07:42because he's a nice teammate you give him 35 million dollars because he can catch touchdowns and
07:46he's productive but that doesn't hurt so this is going to be a movie reference that maybe not
07:51everyone gets but there's a little bit of link what do you think i'll do you think i'll get it
07:54no okay uh maybe i don't watch that many movies maybe okay there's a little bit of lincoln hawk
08:00to uh i never even heard of that to drake london because when he gets on the field he's a
08:06different
08:06dude lincoln hawk is sylvester stallone in the movie over the top where he turns his hat around he
08:10becomes a different guy got it okay
08:12okay
