00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith, pleased to be joined by Neil Reynolds

6
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of Sky Sports NFL in England. Thank you so much

7
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: for taking time to join us.

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: My pleasure, Mike, Thanks for having me. We're right in

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: the middle of all these London games now, and yeah,

10
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: just so exciting to have everybody's attention in the NFL,

11
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: on the UK and on London. It's always a special

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: time of year.

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Why does October make so much sense for the games

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: to be in the UK?

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: I just think it becomes it's become part of the

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: sports scene here. I don't think it was by design.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: I think it just happened, and then it happened again

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: and then again and again, and because the NFL has

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 2: grown and has really laid down foundations in the UK,

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: this has been the month when you know, the same

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: way you'd have the season kickoff in September, Thanksgiving in November.

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: I think people expect to see international games and London

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: games in October. So no grand design, just a kind

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: of testament to how we've become a part of the

25
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: NFL landscape.

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: Now, you've been talking about the NFL since nineteen ninety one,

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: long before anyone got the idea that there would be

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: games played in London on a regular basis and that

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: it would become part of the fabric of the NFL,

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: which it is. Now, Why did you get so interested

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL so early?

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: So? I was just a fan. Saw it on Channel four.

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: There was just there were only four channels in the UK.

34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: Then it was one of the channels that were showing

35
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: highlights of the NFL. There was a curly head rookie

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: by the name of Dan Marino who everyone was getting

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: excited about. I kind of that piqued my interest and

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: my passion for the NFL began there. So I played

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: for ten years. I played in the British League as

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: a tight end and then was a journalist by trade,

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: and so I put the two together, put my passion

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: and my work together, and yeah, started writing for various

43
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: publications and found my way onto BBC Radio and then

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: found myself presenting the NFL on Sky Sports, which has

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: been an absolute dream job.

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been there for twelve years, so the run

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: is going well. Did you have to convince media early

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: on that it was worth bringing you in to cover

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: and discuss the National Football League?

50
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I think you know, Sky have been a great

51
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: broadcaster for the NFL, but early on there was you know,

52
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: it was always a battle. You're always trying to you know,

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: as a writer who are battling for column inches and

54
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: battling to get that space in any newspaper. But it's

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: just grown to the point where it's such a sophisticated

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: fan base now, and it wasn't always like that, you know.

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: I covered NFO Europe games. I worked in the NFL

58
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Europe League. We would have games at Crystal Palace in

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: South London where Kurt Warner was trotting onto the field

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: for the Amsterdam Admirals and there were two thousand people there,

61
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred people there. And here we are now, you know,

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: selling out games at Wembley Stadium to Hotspur Stadium with

63
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: a purpose built NFL venue. I couldn't have dreamed of

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: it when I first started covering the league.

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: We are excited to be playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

66
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned that it was a purpose built NFL stadium

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: with the football pitch and the NFL pitch that they

68
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: can switch in and out, and we've learned about that

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: this week as we've discovered how big a step in

70
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: the development and moving forward was it to have a

71
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: stadium built with the purpose specifically of not only the fields,

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: but the press box, the locker rooms, everything designed for

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: the first time ever outside the US for an NFL game.

74
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say there were a few kind of steps

75
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: along the way to where we are right now, and

76
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: I think the first one was the games being played

77
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: in the first place in two thousand and seven, when

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: we started then playing multiple games per year in twenty thirteen.

79
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: But the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a significant development and

80
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: a significant step. The Premier League is so powerful in

81
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: its own right, and each of those teams, like an

82
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 2: NFL team, you're so focused on your own business. Tottenham

83
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: Hotspur could have built that stadium just with Tottenham Hotspur

84
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: in mind, but they didn't. They wanted the NFL to

85
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 2: come to town. They went to New York. They spoke

86
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: to the commissioner they spoke to the NFL, what can

87
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: we do to make you guys come every year? And

88
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: what it gives us is tremendous flexibility. We know we've

89
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: always got two games per year at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

90
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: Then the Jags can go and negotiate their own deal

91
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: and play play a game at Wembley. You know, the

92
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers could go and play in Ireland. The forty

93
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: nine Ers might go and play in Leeds, you know.

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: I mean there's always those extra possibilities for the teams

95
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: to negotiate their own things. But the NFL knows they've

96
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: got two games per year through the twenty twenty nine

97
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: to twenty thirty season, and yeah, it has been truly incredible.

98
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: Do you think that is another step towards having a

99
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: permanent NFL team in the UK?

100
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think we're genuinely. All we can do is

101
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: lay the table and the fan base. You know, the

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: games sellout in minutes. You know, the people that were

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: in the queue for games this year to buy tickets

104
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: across Europe was more than a million people. We have

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: broadcast deals that are in place, we have government support,

106
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: We have two world class stadiums in Wembley and of

107
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: course Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so everything is set for whenever

108
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: that happens. You know, a team might get disgruntled here

109
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: or disgruntled there, or just feel that London is an opportunity.

110
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: All that the UK can do is lay the table

111
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: be ready, and I think we are ready. I think

112
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: there's enough support here, there's enough infrastructure here that if

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: a team wanted to move here and have a franchise,

114
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: they could do so next season and they would be

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: a success.

116
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Neil Reynolds, when did you start to believe that was

117
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: a real possibility.

118
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: I think it was when we started to play multiple

119
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: games and started to sell out game after game, and

120
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: you know, with I know that that sometimes will upset

121
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: or antagonize people in the US. The NFL is very American,

122
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: it's the most American sports league, but they are wanting

123
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: to be global, and we sell out every time we

124
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: have a game. There's not an empty seat. With respect,

125
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: you can't always say that about every NFL franchise, So

126
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: I would argue that geography shouldn't be our barrier. You know,

127
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: the fans here deserve it, They deserve a game, They

128
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: deserve games in London as much as they do in

129
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: La So I think once we saw game after game

130
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: after game, and here we are now with three games

131
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: in the UK, two in Germany in twenty twenty three,

132
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: and there's no sign of it slowing down. There's no

133
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: no lethargy at all. It's just getting stronger and stronger

134
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: the passion for this game.

135
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: No know. I want to ask you when the team

136
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: started playing over there in two thousand and seven, the

137
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: kind of chuckle in the United States was that everyone

138
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: there would cheer the most when the kickers and punters

139
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: came out. That is obviously no longer the case. When

140
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: did that start to turn in terms of the sort

141
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: of the understanding and the fan base really starting to

142
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: get the game in a much more dramatic way.

143
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: So I would say that's a narrative that's been out

144
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: there that, oh, they cheered for the punts in two

145
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: thousand and seven, they cheered for the punts in two

146
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Trust me, that was a sophisticated crowd

147
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: in two thousand and seven. Now, there may have been

148
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: some ironic cheers, or there may have been some people

149
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: that were new to the game. And look, there are

150
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: always people that are new coming in to this, but

151
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 2: I'd say this for a long long time has been

152
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: a really knowledgeable market because for a long time you

153
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: had to really work to get your NFL coverage. You

154
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: had to be a real fan to find stuff. Now

155
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: it's much more, much more prevalent and actually get We

156
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: show on sky Sports. We show Thursday Night Football Live

157
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: with three games on a Sunday night when I'm in

158
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,040

Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Titans, where Titans fans can fay it.

174
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Neil Reynolds has been called the Rich Eisen of the

175
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: NFL and of NFL coverage in the UK. That's quite

176
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: a compliment because Rich is very good and he makes

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Is your role somewhat like yours

178
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: on Sky Sports NFL?

179
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: So it's a little bit of Rich Eyes, and it's

180
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of Scott Hansen, and then it's a

181
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: little bit of just guiding people through analysis. So we

182
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: start with a one hour pregame build up, which is

183
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: just looking ahead to the games around the league, like

184
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: Game day morning on NFL Network. Then we fill obviously

185
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: there's a quite a few commercial breaks in US TV coverage,

186
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: we will fill those. We will fill those with rolling

187
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: analysis of the game. So the first thirty seconds will

188
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: be me taking people around the league with red zone updates.

189
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: So I'm voicing touchdowns here and there, and then I'm

190
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: with my pundits and my analysts who are in the

191
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: studio at the moment we're working with and Domo Kink

192
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: Sue is over for a month with us, and so

193
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: then my job is to ask them questions about what

194
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: they've seen in the game, would analyze a bit of

195
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: the action, then we'll go back to the game. So

196
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: it's a kind of it's an all encompassing role. I

197
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: also approach the whole thing as my role is also

198
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: to grow the sport and to make the sport as

199
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: accessible as possible. So we try and make it as

200
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: easy to digest and as easy to understand. We don't

201
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: dumb it down. You know, we still have our players

202
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: talk x's and o's and talk about all the ins

203
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: and outs of the game. But you know, we want

204
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: people to to enjoy the superstars of this sport. So

205
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: we will absolutely show Joe Burrow arriving at the stadium

206
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: and seeing what suit he's wearing because people want to

207
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: know that stuff. They want to see. We will absolutely

208
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: show Taylor Swift banging on the glass at Arrowhead Stadium.

209
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 2: It's all part of it. So, yeah, the more people

210
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: we can get on this NFL journey with us is better.

211
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Isn't that The advantage of your background and everyone there's

212
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: background in media with the Premier League and the way

213
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: it is covered that royalty. Oh, superstars go, they they

214
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: date the biggest stars. It's everything for those communities. And

215
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: the NFL is just starting to cover itself that way.

216
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: Now you already get that, don't you.

217
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a show. It's an entertainment business,

218
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: you know. And the NFL is the best soap opera

219
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 2: there is. You know, they're from comebacks and upset wins.

220
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: You never know on a Sunday night when you when

221
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: that first ball kicks into the air at six pm

222
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: UK time, you never know what's going to happen over

223
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: the next eleven hours or so, and you don't know

224
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: which celebrities are going to turn up. I mean, Week

225
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: three of this season was the perfect example. There were

226
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: there were upset wins, there were comebacks. Suddenly we're seeing

227
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: a clip on the off the internet of a New

228
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 2: York Jets fan's teeth falling out where he's so angry

229
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: with the team. The next thing, the next thing, we're

230
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: seeing Taylor Swift, you know. So that's the beauty of

231
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: the NFL. And we do get that. We get that

232
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 2: there's enough time in our show because we're on for

233
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: so long and we feel so many minutes of those

234
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: games those nights, there's time for us to be serious

235
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: and there's also time to just have some fun.

236
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: The Premier League is taking off over here. How much

237
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: do you think it relates to the sort of the

238
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: building with the NFL being over there and the fact

239
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: that with the Internet we're so much more connected. There's

240
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: a better understanding of soccer here, your football, and there's

241
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: a better understanding of the NFL over there.

242
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 2: I think what it does is just kind of re

243
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: emphasizes that every sport can be global now and then

244
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: it's a lot easier. Everything's much more connected. And I

245
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: tell you where it helps as well, with the NFL

246
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: making some noise over here. When JJ Watt is one

247
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: of the owners of Burnley, you know, things like that.

248
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 2: Malcolm Jenkins got involved as well with a little bit

249
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: of that. You know, I interviewed b Jane Robinson at

250
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: the draft before he went into the NFL and he

251
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about Liverpool. You know, the players of

252
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: the NFL are more interested in the Premier League and

253
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: so then we can drop those little bits of information

254
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: and it makes media here pay more attention.

255
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: To that world smaller, no doubt about it. I want

256
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: to ask you to was there a football moment that

257
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: hit a player, a game, a team, something that happened

258
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: in London that you felt the turn dramatically, not just

259
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: the games being there, but a football moment.

260
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I think the first game the Jags won.

261
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: So the Jacksonville Jaguars were the first team to kind

262
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: of commit to playing in London year in and year out,

263
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: and they've been leading the way in that and have

264
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: grown their fan base because of it. They lost their

265
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: first couple of games in London. Then they played the

266
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills twenty fifteen. They jumped out to a big lead,

267
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: and the Jags have been struggling coming into London, and

268
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: they jumped out to a big lead, and Buffalo chipped away,

269
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: chipped away, and they took a late lead. Buffalo led

270
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: with like four or five minutes left, and then there

271
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: was a play with about a minute and a half

272
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: two minutes left. Blake Bortles threw a pass to a

273
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: dive in Alan Hearn's full stretch out the goal line

274
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: for the touchdown to give the Jags their first win

275
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: in London, and the place erupted. It was. It was sensational.

276
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: So that's one. The other one that I think is

277
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: just really special to me was the Falcons and Jets

278
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. So obviously we had no games

279
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: in London in twenty twenty because of COVID, so the

280
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: national anthems finish, it's been seven hundred and seven days

281
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: since the NFL has been in London, and then the

282
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: F fifteen Fighter Jets fly over the stadium and you

283
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: just think the fell his back and the place that

284
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: the atmosphere was electric. It was fantastic. So yeah, there's

285
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: so many special moments. It's hard to believe it sixteen

286
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: years ago the first game and here we are now

287
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: with three.

288
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: And I can't believe you came out of Titans program

289
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: and said something nice about the Jaguars. Yes, you are

290
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: an honest and a brave man to do that. Who's

291
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: the most popular American football player in the UK.

292
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: So if you do, I call it the taxi driver test.

293
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: If you were going to get into a taxi, I

294
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: think everyone would most likely first of all, go to

295
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. Now that's cheating because he's now technically retired.

296
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: I think Patrick Mahomes is going that way in terms

297
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: of becoming a global star. Odell Beckham transcends sport and

298
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: couldn't actually couldn't walk down a street in London. I've

299
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: seen him get mobbed in London in a street. I've

300
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: seen him get mobbed in Germany. He's just got that

301
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: kind of cool factor. He's a genuine, genuine star. But yeah,

302
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: I think Mahomes, Mahomes would be the gold standard now

303
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: and well I say that it's going to be Travis

304
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 2: Kelsey surely right. Everyone knows Travis.

305
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: Travis is doing okay right now in a lot of ways.

306
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: What did the what are fans in the UK think

307
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: of Derek Henry?

308
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: So? Uh, they have I mean we kind of we've

309
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: got our own king now, but you've had a king

310
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: for years, you know, We've only just had in Charles

311
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: for for you know, just over twelve twelve thirteen months.

312
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: They recognize him as one of the true stars and

313
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: he's one of those that will again slightly transcend the

314
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: sport because he will he will go viral every now

315
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: and then with stiff you know, when he sent Josh

316
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: Norman flying, you know that those kind of things. So yeah, Derek.

317
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: Derek is doubtedly one of them for us as we

318
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: watch among American football fans last five, six, seven years.

319
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: One of the absolute stars of the league and still

320
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: somebody who you know, I've covered a lot of players

321
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: over a lot of years. Kind of defies logic. How

322
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: can you be a defensive end sized running back and

323
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: run away from everyone? I mean, he is a genuine

324
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: home run threat to score from anywhere on the field.

325
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's right out there, isn't he?

326
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: What are the thought processes there under the Titans? What

327
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: do fans in the UK talk about when they discuss Mike.

328
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: Rabelstein toughness you get You're always going to get a

329
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: gritty team. You're going to get a tough team. They're

330
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: never going to roll over. But I do think at

331
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: times it's you know, it's it can be there are

332
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: highs on offense, but there's not consistency at the moment.

333
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: But I think it's a team that knows its identity.

334
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 2: You know, you always talk about teams that don't quite

335
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: figure out who they are. The Titans know who they

336
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: are and they are they are always going to be tough,

337
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 2: They're always going to be well coached, they're going to

338
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 2: be ready. It doesn't mean they're going to win every week,

339
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: but they're going to be ready and actually they've done

340
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: quite a lot of winning because of that approach.

341
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're the home team Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

342
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: We're playing Baltimore. Please don't tell me Baltimore is more

343
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: popular than we are.

344
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: No, No, I wouldn't say that. No, I think it's

345
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: I think that's probably a tie, although they do have

346
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham. I just I did, just I just you

347
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: did throw that at there. I think I think the

348
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: Titans are one of those teams that are you know,

349
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: I think have been helped by the the reaching the

350
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: championship game, having players like Derrick Henry being being in

351
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: that playoff mix, you know, three of coach Vrabel's first

352
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: four years. So yeah, they're not they're not the most

353
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: popular team in the in the UK, but they're certainly

354
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: growing the numbers and they won't be they won't be

355
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: out shouted by it by Ravens fans. So yeah, I

356
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: think it's probably going to be a mixed crowd and

357
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 2: then what happens as well, of course, you have all

358
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 2: those different player fans that come from uh, you know,

359
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: all across and they're wearing all the different jerseys and

360
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: they'll randomly pick aside and you don't know what what

361
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: their mood what mood it might just be wherever's got

362
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: the ball, it might be a favorite player of theirs.

363
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of It's been described as a super Bowl atmosphere.

364
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure you remember it from last time. It's great.

365
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: It's an absolute coming together of the NFL community. That's

366
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: what is one of the most special things. All the

367
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: different jerseys. Everyone's sitting there having a good time, appreciating

368
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: the fact that the NFL's in our in our backyard.

369
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: More with Neil Reynolds from Sky Sports NFL from the UK,

370
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: But first a word from our good friends at Duncan.

371
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: It's always game one with Duncan, so grab a coffee

372
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: and kick off the action. Whether that's drinking a cup

373
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: of coffee on your way to the game or drinking

374
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: one at home, Duncan is always there to help you

375
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: get your game on. Just like the pros, we need

376
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: to be at our best at game time, which is

377
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: why Duncan is the most important part of your game

378
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: day ritual. Because It's always the best call for Football

379
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: America runs on Duncan. Let's go back to Neil Reynolds

380
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: from Sky Sports NFL. Okay, I want to ask you.

381
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: I deal with Mike Vrabel multiple times every week. Neil

382
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Reynolds has had a chance to deal with Mike Vrabel.

383
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: What it's like. What is it like for you to

384
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: deal with the Titan? Said coach.

385
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: So I really enjoyed our chat this week. And I

386
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: tell you what caught me off guard at the start

387
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: is that we arranged the time for the zoom interview,

388
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 2: and I was expecting one of the PR guys to

389
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: come on first and then to say, here's coach. And

390
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: so I'm sitting there, I'm kind of making some notes,

391
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: some kind of just waiting for the zoom to start,

392
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: and I kind of look up and there's coach. Very

393
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: Ball was like okay, And I sat up a little

394
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: bit straight and I thought, here we go. But it

395
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 2: was really good. I tell you what was good. It

396
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: was he talked about the things he learned as a

397
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: as a player and how much he can then help

398
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: his players. And so I was writing. I was writing.

399
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: I edit all of the Game Day magazines for the

400
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: London Games and the Germany Games, and so I was

401
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: writing the story about coach Vrabel today and I thought,

402
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: if you think about him as a player, he was tough, intelligent, reliable,

403
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: a winner, and I think they are all beacons that

404
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: guide his coaching career as well. So it's just fascinating

405
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 2: to see his journey. And I was very very impressed

406
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: with him because I was I got this kind of

407
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: hard exterior of a coach, and then I think back

408
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: and then he talked about how much he cares about

409
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: his players, how much he's has walked in their shoes.

410
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: I think back to the scenes in the tunnel last

411
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: year with Ben Jones. So you've got this. It's a

412
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: bit like a toffee. You have toffees in America, really

413
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: hard on the outside and then soft and chewy in

414
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: the middle. Yeah.

415
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm going to call him there

416
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: to his face, but he really is. He really is

417
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: some kind of good guy. I don't think he always

418
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: wants people to know it, but he really is that good.

419
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: How do you think this time around is going to

420
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: be different for him to play in the UK than

421
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: when he coached in his first year in twenty eighty.

422
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 2: I I think I think anytime you come over you

423
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: get more comfortable with you know, if you have that

424
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: uncertainty of the travel. I know that's still a big

425
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: thing in the minds of coaches. When do we come,

426
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 2: when don't we come, Do we come early, do we

427
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: come late? There's been no correliction to a rival time

428
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: to wins and losses. It's when the ball goes into

429
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: the air. It's it's football, and it's whoever the best

430
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: team is who makes the least mistakes. So I think

431
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: that I think he seemed very fired up about playing

432
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: at Tottenham Hotspus Stadium. He's seen he'd seen the stadium

433
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: and he enjoyed the British fans, so I think they'll

434
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: probably just be more of a comfort level. He said

435
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: he enjoyed everything about the experience apart from the two

436
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: point conversion. So if they put that bit right, then

437
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: you know they can have a good trip.

438
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and Derek Henry's certainly playing a lot better this

439
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: time than he was when they came last time. All right,

440
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, a lot of Titans fans are coming over.

441
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: They are so excited to be part of this whole adventure.

442
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: If they've got to do one thing in London outside

443
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: of the obvious. What does Neil Reynolds recommend?

444
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: Oh, I would say, I think I really enjoy even

445
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: I do this for my family sometimes either two things.

446
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: You can either get on the boat and go up

447
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: the River Thames and you'll see a lot of the

448
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: sites there. This is so touristy, but I actually still do.

449
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: We still do it. We live forty five minutes from London.

450
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: We'll do it every now and then. You get on

451
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: the open top bus and you do the whole city

452
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: tour because it's just you do it in a couple

453
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: of hours. You can hop on and ho off, and

454
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: London is even when we do it as a family

455
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: and we live, like I say, forty five minutes and

456
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: we go into London and you see parts of the city.

457
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: You know, you go from the huge skyscrapers in the

458
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: Financial district to tiny little lanes and little streets and

459
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: it is a wonderful city. That's the way to see

460
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: all of it, you know. And yeah, stop off in

461
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: a pub or two.

462
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: We're going to do that. I mean, hey, we're from Tennessee,

463
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: come on, we've got that in common. We're not afraid.

464
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for doing this, Neil. REDTLS look

465
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,160
