Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez joined the show to discuss his season and other topics around the NFL.

Dan asked Gonzalez if he would want his former Chiefs teammate Larry Johnson on his team. Gonzalez said that he would want Johnson under certain conditions. "The way he conducts himself 95 percent of the time ... ya, I'd play with him," Gonzalez said.

Dan asked Gonzalez about the other five percent. "Larry's an emotional guy," Gonzalez said. "That five percent sometimes makes bad decisions."

Gonzalez thinks that Johnson has motivation to straighten out his act. "He's getting to the point, where you see your career going down, you make good decisions, because you don't want to see your career go away," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez said Johnson has to think about what's going to be left after he leaves the game. "When you look back on this game, you kind of want to have a good reputation," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez also commented on the altercation between Falcons coach and the Redskins' DeAngelo Hall. Gonzalez said he got a lot of calls with people saying they saw the fight, and Gonzalez was nowhere near the action. Gonzalez said that his ankle was getting taped that time. Gonzalez said DeAngelo Hall's postgame comments were ridiculous, saying Smith knows where he lives in the offseason. Gonzalez said that the NFL is a business and you have to act with a certain amount of class. But he hopes Hall was just kidding.
