1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: A very big deal for Australian sport. The NFL will 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: host multiple in season games at the mcgs up next year, 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia Eagles going to 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: the super Bowl of course this month. Are they going 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: to open the account in October? Australian sports journalis Jim 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: Dolan is beck? What is gym morning to you? 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: Gooday? Mike? 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: What's your assessment of how I mean, a lot of 9 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: sport goes on in Australia, a lot of big events. 10 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: Is this a big deal? 11 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: This is a very big deal. The NFL, particularly this week, 12 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: is very popular throughout the world and Australia to all 13 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: eyes on the super Bowl this well, next Monday. But 14 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: this game with Jordan Malata particularly, he's tipped to come 15 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Eagles. He's a young kid who is 16 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: in the South Sydney Rugby league program, decided to have 17 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: a crack at America and now he's become a superstar. 18 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 2: And I imagine he's already had a few phone calls 19 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: for tickets for next week's game and probably getting a 20 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: few text messages from his friends and family too saying 21 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: hey what about Melbourne? Can we get down the mcg 22 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: to CE live, so he's going to be very popular. 23 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: He'll probably be the face of this if the Eagles 24 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: are indeed the team that comes, and they interestingly one 25 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: of two teams that have global marketing rights in Australia, 26 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams the other. So yeah, the interest 27 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: is pretty high because a lot of people take interest 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: in the NFL now and a chance to see an 29 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: in season game very very big. 30 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: And if you look at where they played in Germany 31 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: and in England, they've been in England for ages. They 32 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: just sell out every game every year, don't they. 33 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to play eight in season matches internationally, 34 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: including the home of Real Madrid now so this season. 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: So that's going to get a lot of people interested there. 36 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: We have had NFL here before when the Broncos played 37 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: the Chargers to open the Sydney Olympic Stadium in nineteen 38 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: ninety nine. I got caught up in that circus and 39 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: four seven forty sevens it takes to bring the teams 40 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,919 Speaker 2: and their hangers on. The coaches have a little tower 41 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: that gets pushed around training so they watch where they go. 42 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: The quarterback has a blow to tow's a big tub 43 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: of gatorade. He's never more than a hands distance away, 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: so they can have a drink before he throws the 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: next ball. And when they had they put on the 46 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: best of the best, all the food for all the Americans. 47 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: And I remember two very large gentlemen came over to 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: me and said that the barrel mundy, the prawns, the 49 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: Morton Bay bugs weren't there liking. This is why all 50 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: the people in Australia were so skinny because of the 51 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: food they ate. Could I take them to somewhere where 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: they could get a decent hot dog so they might 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: learn a little bit. But one thing's for sure, Mike, 54 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: when they do play, it'll be just like every other 55 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 2: State of Origin and Bledislaw cap matches played in Melbourne. 56 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: The first time somebody's tackled, the entire crowd will yell 57 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: ball and then giggle themselves silly as they do after 58 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: the apaing to. 59 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: Be fantastic, Good on your gym. Nice to catch up, 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: Jim Dolan out of Australia this morning. So that's as 61 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: of next year.
