8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: pretzels for lunch? Seriously?

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: Did you raise your hands out.

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 4: If you're in the first two rows?

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: The question? Were we gonna get a stuff like that?

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 5: Just the first question? Coach Belichick, you've got quite some

13
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 5: Germans on your team's doing the last ten fifteen years,

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 5: see best with Jacob and Marcus for a short time.

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 5: What did you learn about chairman and German culture from them?

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: I learned that when they were saying things to me

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: under the breath in German, it probably wasn't complimentary. No,

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: they were all great to coach may I loved all

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: three of those players. As you said, Marcus, you know,

20
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: we're never very long, you know with his injury, but

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: you know Steve Bass who drafted and had a great

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: career with us, and and Jacob you know, came as

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: an international player. And developed into a you know, a

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: solid NFL players, had a great career. So you know

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,600

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: hard working, smart, great teammates, good team players, very unselfish

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: and honestly a pleasure to coach Bill uh dug cut

28
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: here uh Truent Brown did in trouble with the team?

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: Was that due to the personal issue or the ankle injury?

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

31
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, all, miss Metachik. Welcome to Germany. The pages have

00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, we'll see that's great, hope. Well,

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: you give him a lot of cheer about.

36
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 5: He built.

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 7: You're right, you seem to be enjoying this.

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: What is after as long as you've been in the league,

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: What is getting to have an experience like this, to

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: play in a new country?

41
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: What does this mean to you? I guess yeah, well,

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's obviously a unique experience. It's great for

43
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, our team, our players, our staff. You know,

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 2: it's a great experience to you know, we've played a

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: lot of NFL games and and you know this is

46
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: one that will be a little bit different, just like

47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: Mexico City and London work. So it's a good opportunity

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: for our team. I think we'll just you know, make

49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: the most of it, enjoy it, you know, obviously focus

50
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: on playing well, you know, regaining our focus and preparation here,

51
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: you know, the next couple of days and go out

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: there and you know, hopefully play the best game of

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: the year on Sunday. That's our goal.

54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: We did have a discussion last week for the Dolphins

55
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: arriving earlier, the Chiefs coming back coming here late as

56
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: you did. Did you have to think long about arriving

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: only on Friday or did you discuss it coming earlier.

58
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, we looked into it and talked about it.

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: This is what we've done for the other games. The

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: ind of the London games, it was basically the same schedule,

61
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: so so we stuck with that. Well, it's not yeah,

62
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: it's just I think the overall you know, preparation at home,

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: not trying to bring all our stuff here, but trying

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: to do they lay the majority of the groundwork at

65
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: home and cover all the things and then you know,

66
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: come here today and review it on today and then

67
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: tomorrow and then play the game. Felt like that was

68
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: the most efficient thing for us. But you know, it

69
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: could be different for other teams. I don't know. I'm

70
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: not I don't have any commentary on that. But for us,

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: we felt like it was the best best way for

72
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: us to operate. So we've done it that way before.

73
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: I think everybody's pretty comfortable with.

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: It, all right.

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 8: Hello, your career is really amazing. Over twenty years of

76
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 8: coaching or even more than winning all those.

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: Trump Fortunately it's more than twenty.

78
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 8: Nothing in more than twenty four too. And how do

79
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 8: you motivate yourself at times like at the moment.

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I enjoy it. I'll enjoy all aspects

81
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: of it. The preparation, the team building, the competitiveness on Sundays,

82
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: the you know, the guys that I work with, you know, staff,

00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: and everybody works together and try to work toward a

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: common goal. And yeah, it's honestly it beats working.

86
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 7: Thanks you.

87
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,480

Speaker 2: and vacations. You know, had a good couple of weeks here,

101
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: so it's definitely chining in the right direction. So you know,

102
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: that's been that's been good. But yeah, you know, we're

Speaker 2: looking forward again. Appreciate all of our international fans from

Speaker 2: all the countries, you know, certainly you know Frankfurt and

105
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: know we have a Croatian group here in Frankfurt, Spain, France, Italy.

106
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: We'll take them all.

107
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: Bill, I wanted to know how the game last week

108
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: between the Chiefs and offices might have helped inform any

109
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 4: of your preparation logistically or understanding gets a new playing surface,

110
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: anything you study from that game that might help on Sunday.

111
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: All right, Well, most of our preparations were pretty well set,

112
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: but there there were some other things that you know,

113
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: came up from a game operational standpoint that you know,

114
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: we we have a week of you know, looking at

115
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: somebody else do it and see what, you know, what

116
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: they did and how that worked out, and there are

117
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: a couple of things that we are going to adjust

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: based on on that. So, yeah, that's a little bit,

119
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: you know, it's a little bit. It's definitely helpful to

120
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: have seen the game a week ago, you know, on

121
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: the field, on the surface, you know, different you know,

122
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: scoreboard and different kind of configuration in the stadium, things

123
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: like that, and so that'll be good tomorrow to just

124
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: go over and you know, walk that and kind of

125
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: get a little bit of a feel for it.

126
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: Right, Hello, coach, concerning the adjustment about the stadium, and

127
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: since it's conceived as a soccer stadium, when we saw

128
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: last week the scoreboard being hit by a punter, is

129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: there any adjustment you had with your special teams about

130
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: the about the stadium about something they might toue.

131
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Now, that's actually come up in a couple of the

132
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: you know, of our games before where the balls has

133
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: hit an object, whether it was this the scoreboard or

134
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: it could be the wire that the camera goes on

135
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: or something like that, and just replay the play. So

136
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: it's you know, that's all covered. We'll see whether it

137
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: happens or not. But no, I don't think it's really

138
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: that big of a factor for us defeated. Punter hits

139
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: it or kicker hits it, and you know, we'll replay

140
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: the replay play.

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 10: Hey, coach, your defense so surely are amazing. And the

142
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 10: last two weeks the front seven have several problems more

143
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 10: in the third downs. Maybe from that you don't injury.

144
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 10: What are you doing to to to to change the

145
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 10: dynamic in the front seven?

146
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, third downs, you know, such critical down. So

147
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: you know we have to do a better job there

148
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball, you know, both picking

149
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: them up on offense and and they'll get off the

150
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: field on defense. So you know, fundamentals, technique and you

151
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: know some awareness things. So you know, the cults are

152
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: good there. They're you know, do a really good job

153
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: of staying out of long yards to run the ball. Well,

154
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: so you know they don't they don't create too many

155
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: long yarded situations all of the rest of the league

156
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: because they were such a good running game. So you know,

157
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: getting me in along alreage is hard. But regardless of

158
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: what the down is, you gotta you know, it's it's

159
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: the most competitive down and unless it's fourth down, and

160
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 2: you know, we just we just all got to do

161
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: a better job there.

162
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 11: Hi, Bill, Hi, welcome back to Europe. In terms of

163
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 11: the Buffalo win and the Vegas defeat, it seemed like

164
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 11: something was starting to finally click on the offense. I mean,

165
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 11: there was a third highest rate in terms of motion

166
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 11: from that offense. But then obviously Kendrick Born getting injured

167
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 11: and you know the Z receiver that seemed to kind

168
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 11: of damage the chances last week because the receivers won't

169
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 11: getting much separation against Washington. But I know, the other

170
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 11: gentleman asked about Bute or just in general, are you

171
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 11: hoping that the young guys in the second half of

172
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 11: the season can go on and make an impact and

173
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 11: just sort of give the offense some life in that regard?

174
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: All right, Well, each week's different, so different team, different opponent,

175
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: different scheme, different players. So we'll see how we match

176
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: up this week against the Colts. And you know, last

177
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: week was the last week against a different team, different players,

178
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: different schemes, So I know, we'll see what happens this week.

179
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, of course our goal offensively is to not

180
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: turn the wall over and you know, score points, whether

181
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: that's explosive plays or you know, converting in the red area.

182
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: So that's our goal over week, and it'll be our

183
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: goal this week. Hopefully they will do a good job.

184
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 11: But even though it's obviously different opponents, so have you

185
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 11: and coach O'Brien had discussions about, you know, because the

186
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 11: way offenses have developed now in the NFL, there is

187
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 11: a lot of motion line of scrimmage, So have you

188
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 11: guys sort of tried to implement that into the game

189
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 11: plan and hoping to have that going forward because I

190
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 11: think in the first half of the season we didn't

191
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 11: see a lot of that on the Patriots offense part.

192
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 11: It seems like, like I had mentioned before that injury,

193
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 11: there was a real sort of adjustment to try and

194
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 11: you know, get that as part of the offense week

195
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 11: and a week out.

196
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, again, there are advantages that go in the motion,

197
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: there's drawbacks to go in emotion. So we can use

198
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: our advantage, we'll use it. If we don't think it

199
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: helps us, then we probably won't. So that's that's pretty

200
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: much the same discussion every week. Thank you, Bore, You're welcome.

201
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 12: Hello, mister Belichick, Welcome to Frankfurt. Over we had time

202
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 12: with the Patriots. You have had a tremendous success. How

203
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 12: do you look back at that legacy you planted in

204
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 12: the NFL with the Patriots, and how do you see

205
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 12: your current team in a strength rice.

206
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: Right, Honestly, I don't spend too much time focusing on that.

207
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: It's really right now it's just about you know, getting

208
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: ready to play the Colts and doing the best job

209
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: we can, you know, in preparation and then you know,

210
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: competitively on Sunday against the Colts. So that's that's really

211
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: my focus right now. As far as what happened in

212
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: the past or you know, analysis of the team this

213
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: year and all that worry about that.

214
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 13: Later, Bill went into the decision to keep jac Jackson

215
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 13: at home, and do you expect him to be available

216
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 13: to you after this trip?

217
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll be available. Yeah, No, he's not

218
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: on the trip. Decision that well, I mean that was

219
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: a decision and I'm not going to go into it.

220
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

221
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: Build players have spoken a lot about you know, how

222
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: deep he'll go into, uh, previewing an opponent and team meetings,

223
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: you know, dating back to ownership history. I'm curious how

224
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: in discussing the Colts this week, just the magnitude of

225
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: the history of this moment playing in Germany might have

226
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: shaped any of your messaging to the team about this week.

227
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: Understanding the point is to win, but it's a it's

228
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: a unique week.

229
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, let's say the front end of the preparations

230
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: were a little you know, a little condensed this week.

231
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: So and I mean again, this is a team that

232
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: we've played, you know, each of the last couple of years.

233
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: So there are the teams that were less familiar with,

234
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: you know, team like Washington, and we haven't played in

235
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: four years. It has undergone a lot of changes. So

236
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: now actually this week has spent a lot more about

237
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: just you know, getting ready for the preparation on this game,

238
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: and and uh, you know, of course that leads into

239
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: some of the you know, bigger picture of things, but

240
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: maybe a little less focus on that just because we're

241
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: more familiar with this team, and and uh, that's a

242
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: little bit short preparation on the on the front end,

243
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: it's really three days into two on the front end Wednesday, Thursday,

244
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: Friday into Wednesday and Thursday.

245
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 8: Hi Bert, good to see you. Do you have the

246
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 8: chance to see some of Frankfurt town, like see some

247
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 8: cultural stuff or also the players.

248
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, not yet. You know, we just got here this

249
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: morning and you know, had some meetings over at the

250
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: hotel and get on the field today. So we'll see

251
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: how it goes on that kind of running on fumes here.

252
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: So I don't know how long I'll last tonight.

253
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 14: You, hey, Bill, you're a great historian of the game.

254
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 14: Did you ever think when you broke broke into this

255
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 14: game that you'd be playing in different countries? But this

256
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 14: is now the third different country you've played in. And

257
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 14: where do you see the game going in in the

258
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 14: next fifty years? You think it will be a truly

259
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 14: global game?

260
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. That's probably probably above my pay grade.

261
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not on the marketing side of things.

262
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: And you know, soccer's football, football soccer. I don't know.

263
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: It's a good question, but yeah, I mean support here

264
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: is great. You know, we played you know games in

265
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: the spring, uh in the europe League for you know,

266
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: several years. I'm the kind of dissolved. But you know,

267
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: I know that there are other local American football teams

268
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: in Europe and I've communicated with some of them. So

269
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: but yeah, sports grown and nothing would really surprise me.

270
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: That's be some logistical issues at some point, but I

271
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe it work those out. Interesting question, Hi, Bill.

272
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 12: In my twenty three years, I'm a Patriots fan, I

273
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 12: never see your love so much.

274
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Germany is good for you in Germany.

275
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: Love isn't in Germany. Yeah, been here, you know a

276
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: couple of times. It's been in a great country, very

277
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: people are great, beautiful, friendly. So thank you, thank you,

278
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: appreciate your hospitality.

279
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 8: Bill.

280
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 7: You said you've spoken to football teams over here before

281
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 7: in what capacity?

282
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: What?

283
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 8: What?

284
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 7: How did that work?

285
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: Did you? Well, most of them have reached out to me,

286
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: you know, okay we have a team here and you

287
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: know kind of go from there.

288
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 7: Is that something I mean? Is that is that important

289
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 7: to you to to to be available to help grow

290
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 7: the game in that respect?

291
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, well most of it was in the summer.

292
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: I mean it was not sure during obviously football season.

293
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, sometimes they you know, look me up or

294
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: just you know, randomly pumped into them, or you know,

295
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: I've been given some new jerseys and hats or you

296
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: know stuff like that, as you know, souvenirs from those teams,

297
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: like you know, I just wanted you to have this,

298
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: and you know that type of thing is there somewhere

299
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: informal it's it's informal. I'm not like formally associated with.

300
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 7: Anybody, but just in terms of you like, if somebody

301
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 7: reaches out to you, whether it's somebody that's coaching here

302
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 7: or something like that, to to try.

303
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: To Yeah, well, a lot of them are American that

304
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: have you know, transplanted and ended up here, that are

305
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: involved in some version of you know, some type of

306
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: European you know, American football team that either I have

307
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: a connection with or it's a friend of a friend

308
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: of a friend, you know, or whatever. So it's you know,

309
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: it's pretty random, but it is interesting. It just shows

310
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,360
