Speaker 4: and I'm like everybody else. The Bison statues are a

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: big topic conversation around town because we got to kind

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: of look at them.

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: They Yeah, they released the renderings and some of our

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: video team went down with the head of design, Frank Cravada,

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they are being fabricated.

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 4: It to me, that looks like the rivalries Jersey Buffalo

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: Silver Buffalo on the show.

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: I like, it's not a mistake.

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, somebody thought about it, right, Yeah, I

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: think it was thought about. I'm all about it. I'm

26
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: I can't wait.

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: I'm starting to get, you know, a little flutters for

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: the new stadium, you know, you know, because it's it's

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: we see it every day and you kind.

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Of get immune to it, like how much is changing?

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: But then when you look, like when you drive by,

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: you can now, I'll see where you're going to pull in.

33
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: There's curbs, there's parking lots, there's lines, you know, they're

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: you know, they're putting in bushes for goodness sake, landscape. Yeah,

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: it's getting close, and you can kind of see what

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: it's going to be like.

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: And it looks to me like no one bills mafia, Like.

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: It's gonna be pretty awesome outside that stadium on game day,

39
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 4: not just in the neighborhoods like it's always been.

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: But man, yeah, well let's go.

41
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: So as our MSG viewers are seeing right now, the

42
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: bills revealed. The family of bison then will be displayed

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: in family Circle, or at least the renderings outside Neuhei

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: Mark Stadium. The three bison, which include a bull, a cow,

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: and a calf, will be metallic and illuminated at night.

46
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: They range in height from twelve to twenty two to

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: twenty seven feet high, and the two adult bison will

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: be able to emit co two smoke from their nostrils.

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: The bull so in the winter time they'll be breathing frost.

50
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: Let's go well when they turn it on, yeah, yeah,

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: and they can be illuminated at night. The bullies are

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: twenty nine feet long, the cow is twenty three feet long,

53
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: and the calf is thirteen feet long. Do you know

54
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: what I learned? There's another word for a bison calf.

55
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: Do you know what it is? They're called red dogs,

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 3: red dogs because they're fur red. They're reddish, more of

57
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: a cinnamon color than the dark brown of the adult bison.

58
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: So I learned something called what dogs?

59
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Yellow dogs, red dog, red dogs, red dogs.

60
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: All right, it's a slang term for a Well, I

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: get baby Byson and we'll have Senior Vice President of

62

Speaker 3: us here in studio to shed a little bit more

65
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,720

Speaker 3: details on that, including when do they think they'll be up.

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: I think June is the target, yeah, for them being

69
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: you know, erected, and we'll put in place.

70
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: Frank gets in here, we'll put him, we'll ask him

71
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: some questions about him. Obviously, I don't know if you

72
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 4: can answer everything, but I want to, you know, like

73
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: cause it's looking very It's like you're noticing the details

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 4: now that are popping out. They put the big the

75
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: whole skin is on. They got signage up some places,

76
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 4: you know, to get gate entry, gate entries are getting

77
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: in all the pile you know, the stuff where you know,

78
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: pylon traffic control stuff.

79
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: You know, when is like are you head of schedule?

80
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: Behind schedule? And they always got these.

81
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: Like there were five percent ahead to schedule, or we're

82
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 4: seven percent behind, or now we're you know, nineteen percent

83
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: ahead for a minute and now we're you know what

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean, It's always been this little thing that goes

85
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: up and above the finger quotes the schedule. But you know,

86
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: when do we get the keys man? When do I

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: get to take that baby for That's what I want

88
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: to know.

89
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, let's go. I want to win there and

90
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: wiggle in my seat?

91
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: How does this feel? Let's go around the NFL, because

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: the rule and bylaw proposals for the upcoming owners meeting

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: in Arizona are out in nothing terribly groundbreaking here in

94
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: terms of the rundown. Among the more notable items allowing

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: a kicking team to declare an onside's kick at any

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: time during a game, not just when they're trailing. If

97
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: you remember, the original iteration of this was fourth quarter

98
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: and behind. Then they wiped out the fourth quarter said

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: as long as you're behind, you can declare an on

100
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: side kick. Now they want you to be able to

101
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: do it at any point in a game, whether leading

102
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: or trailing.

103
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: This is yeah, okay, anyway, I got time for that.

104
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: You ain't gonna call it an on side kick in

105
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: the first heller is coming and the fourth, third, second quarter.

106
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: Dam you gonna do it that coming out a halftime

107
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: like that famously, like.

108
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: Sean Payton famously did in a Super Bowl. You canna

109
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: do that, so surprise element is gone.

110
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: Come on, wow me with some rule changes.

111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: Let's go so to eliminate the kicking team's incentive to

112
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: kick the ball out of bounds when they kick off

113
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: from the fifty is also being implemented, although personally I

114
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: don't think it goes far enough. So for those that

115
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: are unaware of this, people are familiar when you take

116
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: a normal kickoff at the thirty five and you put

117
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: it over the sideline, it is a penalty and the

118
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 3: other team has awarded the ball at the forty. Well, now,

119
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: the reason it's the forty is because the penalty is

120
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: twenty five yards from the spot of the kick. Well,

121
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: if you're kicking off from the fifty and you kick

122
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: it out of bounds, the penalty is the twenty five

123
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: yard line, and most kicking teams would take that in

124
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 3: a second. Yeah, And so they see that there's a

125
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: loophole there, and so in an effort to close it,

126
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: they're only saying if you kick it through the end

127
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: zone or over the end line, it only comes out

128
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: to the twenty five to prevent them from kicking it

129
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: out of bounds. To me, I don't think that moves

130
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: the needle enough.

131
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: What's the difference that gives a team a chance to

132
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: return it. That's the only difference. It's a bad idea.

133
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: I don't think it goes far enough. Yeah, it's a

134
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: disincentivized just kicking it over the sideline. I would still

135
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: do it. I'm getting it in the same spot anyway. Well,

136
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: who the hell cares well if I'm kicking off from

137
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: the fifty because the penalty got assessed for unsports and

138
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: all like conduct after a touchdown, it's being enforced on

139
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: me kickoff.

140
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 4: To me, the better move is to if you're kicking

141
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: it from the fifty, the twenty landing zone is much closer, right.

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: I hot that thing down there.

143
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: I knuckle it down there and make it a hot

144
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: bouncing ball because you can release the kicking coverage as

145
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: soon as it lands hits the ground. So when you

146
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: hit it hot down there and it lands just past

147
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: the twenty at the fifteen, and it's bouncing around like

148
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: a football does, I can't even articulate how panicked a

149
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: kick return guy is back there trying to pick up

150
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: a bouncing, oblong ball. When you got guys blowing snot bubbles,

151
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: come down, they're trying to hurt you. I mean, you're you're,

152
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: you're adrenaline makes your head pop, So you got to

153
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: put them in I would put them in that kind

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: of stress. They got a feel now if they'd let

155
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: it go and it goes out the back of the

156
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: end zone, that only comes out to the twenty.

157
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have to read the new proposal again because

158
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: the incentive was I don't know, it didn't seem to

159
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: go far enough for me, because basically the way it

160
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: read did not impress me or convince me that people

161
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: are gonna stop if they happen to get a kickoff

162
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: on a fifty which how much does that happening? I

163
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: think that half a dozen times.

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that. I think that is correct.

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: When the ball lands in the field to play and

166
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: goes out the back of the end zone without being touched,

167
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: the return team gets penalized.

168
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so where is their effort?

169
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: They get a lesser sub income.

170
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. The language as it reads talks about, you know,

171
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: the current kickoff rule. A kickoff or a safety kick

172
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: into the end zone that remains inbounds is a live

173
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: ball and must be returned or down by the receiving team.

174
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: It is a touchback, and the dead ball spot is

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: the twenty yard line. If a kickoff or safety kick

176
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: touches the ground or a player in the landing zone

177
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: and is down to the end zone by the receiving team.

178
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: We know that the dead spot ball. The dead ball

179
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: spot is the thirty five if, without first touching the

180
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: ground or a player in the landing zone, a kickoff

181
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: or a safety kick goes out of bounds behind the

182
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: receiving team's goal line, strikes the receiving team's goal post

183
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: uprights or crossbar or lands adder beyond the goal line,

184
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: and is down to the end zone by the receiving team.

185
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: We know all of this. This is the change in

186
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: either case. If the kickoff is from the fifty yard

187
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: line and the play results in a touchback, then the

188
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: dead ball spot is the twenty. So they're trying to

189
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: convince the team kicking from the fifty, hey, don't just

190
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: kick it out about so they'll get it at the

191
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 3: twenty five. You can kick it over here and get

192
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: them at the twenty. I don't know if that's going

193
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: to do enough, because you're still counting on your return.

194
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: Well that's five yards.

195
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if it makes I like the competitive

196
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: buttones so of it because it puts it on the

197
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: players to cover the kick. It puts it on the

198
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 4: coaches to trust their players. That's where the game should

199
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: be that's where the game should be.

200
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if it goes far enough.

201
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it, but make the field position is

202
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: a good lever to pull though.

203
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. There also appeared to be a bit of preemptive

204
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: maneuver by the league with their proposal to allow the

205
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: NFL Officiating Department to correct clear and obvious misses by

206
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 3: on field officials that impact the game in the event

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: that there is a work stoppage with game officials represented

208
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: by the NFL Referees Association. So basically, if there are

209
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: replacement officials, this measure would be enacted. Tell me that's

210
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: not a shot across the bow here before negotiations and somn.

211
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: This this thing smell. I hate that. I hate that.

212
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: I hate that smacks of politics. I hate it.

213
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: They're already posturing.

214
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: They're posturing for work stoppage with the officiating. It was

215
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: their contrast association, the Referee Referees Association. So they're setting

216
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: themselves up to have a rule in place so that

217
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: they can go with replacement officials and and have a

218
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: real guy up in the booth that says no, no, no,

219
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 4: you got to yeah, you gotta call this and gotta

220
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: call that. That's you can't let that slo So yeah,

221
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: and believe me, take it from a guy who was

222
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: replaced by scab players for three games.

223
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: They'll do it.

224
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 4: They'll bring in they'll bring in the guys that are

225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 4: next to you at the when you're bellied up to

226
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: the bar on a Saturday night. They'll bring in four

227
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: guys that are next to you and they'll put them

228
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: into out there as officials. They'll put anybody out there

229
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: if they can just get that game on. They did

230
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: that for players, let alone officials, and they'll just put

231
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: one of the executives and they'll put everything in New

232
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: York and they'll they'll call the game like they're doing hockey.

233
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: Call it from Toronto. They'll call it from New York

234
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: in the case of referees not being there. I don't

235
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: want to get struck by lightning here while I'm sitting

236
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: next to Brownie. But I have come to have a

237
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 4: newfound respect for the officials and the job they do

238
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Why it is a complicated game. And

239
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: in the time since I stopped playing, I have I

240
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: was fully innocent as a player, but in the time

241
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: since I've stopped playing. I've had interactions with officials, heard

242
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 4: those guys talk as a group and conversations with each

243
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: other and how they think about it. When I didn't

244
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: have any skin in the game they were talking about

245
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 4: and when they were off the they were off the

246
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: clock in social setting, and it it broadens your mind

247
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: as to where their mind is at when they're doing

248
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: the game and it's the right round should be. The

249
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: guys I was listening to, they were right where they

250
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: should have been. They they do their best to get

251
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: it right. It's a it's a complicated game, and they are.

252
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: They work for the best run sports league on the planet,

253
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: even you know, and even though it's not perfect, they

254
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 4: these guys work hard at so I'm.

255
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they.

256
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: Need the officials and they need the officials to do well,

257
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 4: to be good and all that, and they have a

258
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: vetting process, they have an accountability process, the whole thing. So

259
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: they need This is not a small thing, this referees

260
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: Association thing that they got.

261
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: To iron out, but this rule. Don't think the league we.

262
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: Were talking about the other day, you don't think they're

263
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 4: gonna like stop games because they don't have officials. You

264
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 4: think they're going to stop the game because they can't

265
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: find NFL. They don't stop the game for a interplanetary pandemic. Yeah,

266
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: the game is gonna go planetary whatever. Yes, I'm sure

267
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: somebody somebody on the moon. Somebody on the Moon had it.

268
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure the intergalactic pandemic. They didn't stop the game

269
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: for an intergalactic pandemic. So I don't think they're going

270
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: to stop the game because of the officials.

271
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: They just won't do it.

272
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: They will make it work, and believe me, they will

273
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: because we saw this. There was all kinds of stuff

274
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: going on to get these games on. There will be

275
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: no squawking from coaches or owners. If that happens, you

276
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: won't hear anything about. Yes, no, it's an outrage about

277
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: if they if they have to play these games without officials,

278
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: you know the league will tell those guys to shut up.

279
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: There is also a league by law proposal to allow

280
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: players on reserve pup to return to practice as early

281
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: as week three for their twenty one day practice window.

282
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: They currently are required to miss the first four games

283
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: of the season before being eligible to return to practice

284
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: in week five. Among the team proposals, Cleveland is proposed

285
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: allowing teams to trade draft picks up to five seasons

286
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: in the future. The current limit is three seasons. It's

287
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: because Cleveland needs more picks to send somewhere to get

288
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: players of any repute.

289
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: That's my suspicion. Anyway.

290
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about this when this was We talked

291
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: about this last week. But okay, whatever, trade a rate.

292
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: Trade away your twenty thirty one first rounder.

293
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: Which if you're a GM and you can convince somebody

294
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: to take your first round pick five years in advance,

295
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: you're a stinking genius because the to you be in

296
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: there are probably pretty low.

297
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: Anyway, I'll take your I'll take your thirty thirty one

298
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: first round draft pick for.

299
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: Your voice of the Bills Chris.

300
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: Brown does our radio now, and you can have our

301
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: thirty thirty one first rounder, but we get Chris Brown

302
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: in return. Yeah, you'd be living in Cleveland, Brownie.

303
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: I think that'll be a rapid hang.

304
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 4: You have to You're you're perfect for it. Chris Brown

305
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: for the Browns.

306
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no relation, I don't think. In advance of the

307
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: NFL annual meeting next week, the Vikings have formally submitted

308
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: a bit to host the twenty twenty eight NFL Draft.

309
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Now we have heard that the Bills are interested in

310
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: hosting a future NFL draft. I would not be surprised

311
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: if they throw their hat in the ring. I don't

312
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: know this, but we've heard Pete Welly discuss this. There

313
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: is interest in hosting a draft here. I don't know

314
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: if it's twenty twenty eight. I don't know if it's

315
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty nine. I don't know if it's twenty thirty.

316
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: But I don't think Minnesota is going to be the

317
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: only team submitting bids here. There are other teams that

318
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: are very interested, and I would put the Bills in

319
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: that category as well. To eventually host an NFL draft.

320
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they'll get one in the future. If it's

321
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 4: not twenty eight, to be twenty nine, thirty somewhere in there.

322
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: I would say, if they have not thrown their hat

323
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: in the ring for twenty eight, it's because they want to.

324
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 4: They want to get this lay of the land of

325
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 4: a new place, Okay. They want to see what it's about, fair,

326
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: see how it is, you know, and I don't do.

327
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: The Vikings are the only one that publicly announce this.

328
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: There could be other teams that have already submitted bids

329
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: and just publicly announce it.

330
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: Here's what you do, Here's what I ask.

331
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if Minnesota is publicly announcing their bid

332
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: being submitted because they've already been told they're going to

333
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: get it maybe because to me, to me, if you

334
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: put a bid in and then you publicize it and

335
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: you don't get.

336
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: It right, it's a little bit of Hey, they probably say, yeah,

337
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 4: go ahead, announce, so you're gonna get here.

338
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that.

339
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: That's just a I'm just speculating.

340
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 4: I'm yeah, I'm I'm I've jumped six steps ahead of

341
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: where we're at now. I'm saying, when when Buffalo gets

342
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: to the back where they gonna put are they gonna

343
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: put it like in front of the Bison statues we've

344
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 4: been talking about. Are they gonna put it outside the stadium?

345
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 4: Because you kind of want it?

346
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: Remember what you got to have trip was like, you

347
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: gotta have room for people to stand and watch the.

348
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: Thing, right, are you yes, which would be the parking

349
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: lots and all that. But or do you just do

350
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: you put it down on the square downtown.

351
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: Right or do you you know you have that open

352
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: part of the stadium on the north side that looks

353
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: back towards the skyline. Do you put the TV guys

354
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: up there? Yeah, right, with well overlooking the parking lot

355
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: the skyline.

356
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: By that by that time, too old high Mark will

357
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: be a parking lot. So they have all that acreage

358
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: over there.

359
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: Yes, and well maybe because isn't it March twenty seven?

360
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so twenty eight, twenty nine draft, Yeah.

361
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 4: You're fine, they should be okay, by that time, they'll

362
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: have them, they'll have like all kinds of open ground. Yeah, yeah,

363
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: they okay. So now that we're gonna get the draft

364
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 4: in one of these years, we're gonna we've got to

365
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: figure out what we're gonna what it's gonna look like.

366
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: Yep, right, we'll see, we'll see what happens. We'll probably

367
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: know more at the owners meetings when they probably award

368
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 3: the twenty eight draft there in Arizona next week. Joe

369
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: Flacco is back for another season in Cincinnati, agreeing to

370
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: a one year deal worth six million dollars, So it'll

371
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: be the Joe and Joe show at quarterback for the Bengals.

372
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Bills receiver Elijah Moore to

373
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: a one year contract. They also re signed offensive tackle

374
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: Fred Johnson and Tampa free agent safety j T. Gray.

375
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: So the Eagles are busy and it's Ohio State Pro

376
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: Day today. Steve if Bill's GM Brandon Bean is one

377
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: of probably twenty NFL gms and coaches in attendance in

378
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: Columbus Head coach Joe Brady is reportedly there as well.

379
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: Among the other front office people there, Steelers have their

380
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: GM Omar Kahn and head coach Mike McCarthy, Commander's GM

381
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: Adam Peters head coach Dan Quinn, Saints head coach Kellen Moore,

382
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: Giants GM Joe Shannon, head coach John Harbaugh, Dolphins GM

383
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: john Eric Sullivan, and Jets GM and head coaches Darren

384
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: Mugi and Aaron Glent. I'm sure there are others as well,

385
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: but knowing Ohio State has four prospects that are going

386
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: to go in the first twelve picks, you understand why

387
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people have people there with eyeballs.

388
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: Honest.

389
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not the like Buddy Nicks used to say,

390
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: I want to smell their breath.

391
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not the area of scout that's there. It's

392
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: the GM and the heads. He has the top flight.

393
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: And how about Joe Joe Flacco coming back? He's in

394
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: what is he's got a rubber arm? Is he? Yeah? Three?

395
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: From eight all the way to twenty? What is that?

396
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Seventeen years?

397
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 3: It's been playing a minute man?

398
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: Oh Man, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, twenty. This is twentieth

399
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: year twenty.

400
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: Good for him.

401
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: He's he was with three different teams last year in

402
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 4: his fortieth year of life.

403
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: He's the modern day Vinnie Testa Verdie. Vinnie played for

404
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 3: a while.

405
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: Choe's better than Vinnie.

406
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: Well, he won super Bowl.

407
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's wow. I keep saying it for all these guys.

408
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 4: With Aaron Rodgers, I've said it a couple of times.

409
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 4: With Tom Brady, I said it. Peyton Manning told me

410
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: one time. He said, there's only one place to play quarterback,

411
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 4: and once you quit, there ain't no coming back. You're done, right,

412
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 4: despite what happened with Brett Farr and Phillip Rivers. That's

413
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: a little bit of a misnomer now. But once you stop,

414
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: you can't it's hard to get back in the door.

415
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: So some of these guys, like Joe Flagger, he's just

416
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: not stopping. He's gonna keep playing.

417
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: Who cares six million bucks?

418
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, think about it. That is three hundred thousand dollars

419
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: a game during the regular season. And believe me, folks,

420
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 4: you get a check, it says three hundred thousand dollars

421
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 4: on it and with your taxes and all that taken

422
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 4: out of it, and it's.

423
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: Like that's it's why wouldn't you?

424
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, particularly a whole eclipboard. Yeah, I would do it.

425
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: Still, he still has the arm, he can still throw it.

426
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he can't run, and he's never been one to

427
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 4: extend plays. He is a m He is an absolutely

428
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 4: pure pocket passer, a lot like Aaron Rodgers is now,

429
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 4: although Aaron's still a little bit more nimble than he is.

430
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 4: Even though he's younger, Joe's younger than Aaron. Aaron's always

431
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 4: been a little bit better athlete. But Joe in his day,

432
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: he was as good a thrower the football as anybody

433
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 4: who's ever played. He could put it anywhere you needed it,

434
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 4: and he's still doing it.

435
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: One other tidbit of NFL news, the Raiders, who as

436
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: we know, have the first pick, they are going to

437
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: host Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza on a Top thirty visit

438
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: in two weeks, which is really no surprise. He is

439
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: the consensus number one overall pick for a team that

440
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: desperately needs a quarterback, so it's widely anticipated he will

441
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: be the first overall pick. This only further ensures that

442
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 3: that will in fact be the case. He's also going

443
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: to take part in Indiana's pro day, which is on

444
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: April first.

445
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: So.

446
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 4: That would be quite quite the thirty visit because you

447
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: know Brady will be over there. Oh yeah, Brady will

448
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: be in the building and he's gonna I wonder if

449
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: Tom Brady is gonna run him through the wringer, or

450
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: whether he's gonna buddy up to him, or you know,

451
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 4: how does how does Brady handle that meeting? Because they're

452
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 4: gonna dump what three dozen million dollars on this guy's head,

453
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 4: it's gonna be it's all guaranteed.

454
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: Yep, we'll be all guaranteed.

455
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: So does he you know, does Brady come in, sidle

456
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: up to him and say what do he got? Or

457
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: does he test him?

458
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. He approach they're gonna take there.

459
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 3: You know, he will be at his pro day April first,

460
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: so they will have seen him work out, presumably they'll

461
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: be there, right, and then after that the next week

462
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: he goes and meets with them in Las Vegas. So

463
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if they'll I don't know if it'll

464
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: be a grueling exercise, but I think they will quiz

465
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: him and test him and try to get on his

466
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: football IQ. For all we know, they have already met

467
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: with him at the combine.

468
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 4: Sure, I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did. But

469
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 4: do they I mean, what's the I guess what's the

470
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 4: tone of it. Are they testing him to see the

471
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 4: vetting him still? Or I mean that's that ship has sailed.

472
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: Bro, you better be sold on that guy. If he's

473
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 3: gonna be your number one pick, well.

474
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: Then yeah, right, that ship has sailed. They've got to

475
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 4: know that they he's the guy. Now are they gonna

476
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 4: buddy buddy up to him and make him feel good

477
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: about being picked as the first pick of the draft

478
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: by the Las Vegas Raiders or are they gonna say, Okay,

479
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 4: now here's what we're gonna do. They starting installing an offense.

480
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 4: You know, here's some things to think about. Here's what

481
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: we're gonna be thinking about doing. Here's what we're taking,

482
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: here's our draft you know, how how do they handle that?

483
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's different strokes for different folks. We'll see what

484
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: they ultimately decide to do, because I'm sure we'll hear

485
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 3: details leak out about how everything went and oh yeah,

486
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 3: all that jazz Brad.

487
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: I'm I'm really interested to see how Tom Brady handles that.

488
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 3: They're also in the midst of transferring ownership away from

489
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: Mark Davis. While the minority owner who's going to be

490
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: a majority owner.

491
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: They have a plan.

492
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, how quickly a materializes, but.

493
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 4: He Mark Davis isn't letting go of that team until

494
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 4: he's gone. They're gonna have to read his will.

495
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: So we'll see break time for us here. When we

496
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: come back, we're going to learn more about the Bison

497
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: who will be standing over Family Circle at the new

498
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: high Mark Stadium. Frank Cravada, our head of design, is

499
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: going to join us next to lend some more details

500
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 3: to what to expect when the Bison arrived here. On

501
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: One Bill's Live, Stay whip us all right, Welcome back

502
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: Wednesday edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown Steve tasked

503
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 3: with you and joined in studio now by Bill Senior,

504
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 3: Vice president of Design and stadium ops. Frank Cravada joining

505
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: us because he has been instrumental in the bison statue

506
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: reveal along with a lot of other things. But this

507
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: is kind of front burner right now. So you know,

508
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: they kind of put the renderings out yesterday around three o'clock.

509
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: So we wanted to get you in here to shed

510
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 3: a little more light on this bison family that will

511
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 3: be adorning family circle. So maybe just give us an

512
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: update on I guess the timeline first as to how

513
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 3: close we are to seeing these things, not in the

514
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: flesh but in their metallic fabrication.

515
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, the calf, the smallest one is virtually done being okay, yeah,

516
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 5: so they're being constructed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which we announced yesterday.

517
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 6: So the little one, the little one's.

518
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: Done, not so little though.

519
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 5: Not so little, yeah, nine feet, you know it's They're

520
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 5: all just incredibly impressive. So the delivery will happen in

521
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: mid to late June. Take about a month to get

522
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 5: them in place, so you put them together, other world.

523
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 5: Just getting them here is one thing too.

524
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: You know, you're they're gonna truck them up in pieces.

525
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: Yep, okay, yeah, and then fabricate them and then crane

526
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 5: them into place.

527
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: Awesome.

528
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: Is there gonna be like a reveal party or are they

529
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 4: gonna have like a scaffolding and pull it?

530
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: And then with too big? Yeah, I guess they're too big.

531
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: I mean you think it's twenty twenty three foot tall

532
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 5: and were talking to you to put a tent over

533
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 5: you can't, so.

534
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 6: Steve, Yeah, they kind.

535
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: Of car you pull the thing and the targets that yeah, yeah,

536
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 4: drapes all there.

537
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: No, I know in the in the video piece that

538
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: our video team did when they followed you down there

539
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: to Lancaster, like, jeez, last summer already. Uh, you did

540
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: talk about how I don't know if surprised is the

541
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: right word, but the amount of engineering involved to get

542
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: a piece like this fabricated. Like what what was it

543
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: about the engineering that struck you where you were? You know,

544
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: your eyebrows were raised and you're like, oh, I maybe

545
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: didn't have an idea that this this and this was

546
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: part of this process.

547
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 6: Well, it's your weight of them.

548
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 5: Then the foundation, how that affected our site design, all

549
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 5: the electronics that go inside of them. And then we

550
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 5: mentioned too, is that there's a CO two machine built

551
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 5: into the bowl. There's what co two machine blows.

552
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: Smoke, can blow smoke out of their nostrils, and so

553
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: that was a little bit of a late ad.

554
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 6: And then how do you coordinate that.

555
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 5: How does all the wiring of all that go underground

556
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 5: to a spot where then we can hook up to

557
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 5: our servers, a servers hook up to the larger game

558
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 5: entertainment system. So and then just the windload, the weight

559
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: and that. Yeah, there was a lot that's gone into it.

560
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 2: So we you know here heard this things. We've watched

561
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: it from the time we were over here listening to

562
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: the blasting going on.

563
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, right right, So it's been a minute and it's

564
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: always been as well. Now they're ahead of schedule there,

565
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 4: a little behind scheduled there. You've always been right about

566
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 4: on schedule throughout the entire process, give or take five

567
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: or six percent of or whatever what the number happened

568
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 4: to be. So it's and we're hearing numbers like it's

569
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: ninety percent done now. And I know they're painting and

570
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 4: they're putting in the final touches.

571
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 6: When do you get the keys June first?

572
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: Seriously, yes, so June first, they're going to say, okay,

573
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: here you go.

574
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 5: They hand it over really yeah, and then they'll be

575
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: you know, they'll be commissioning, they'll be burning. There'll be

576
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 5: a cooking yeahs burn in cooking. Oh right, yeah, we'll

577
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 5: start cooking like a restaurant. Yeah, because you know it's different.

578
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 5: We have the commissary here, single commissary, right, those don't

579
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 5: exist in newer facility. It's six kitchens, so each premium

580
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 5: area has their own kitchen.

581
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

582
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of that and all so and

583
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 5: then some final graphics and touch up and punch list

584
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 5: and video production and you name it.

585
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 4: So early on in this too, you had the thing

586
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 4: because it's technology changes so fast, right, So some of

587
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: the stuff in here is now. You know, everybody's got

588
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 4: stuff that was cutting edge when you started this project,

589
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 4: what ten years ago when they start talking about it.

590
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 4: But one of the things you say was the audio

591
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: was going to be very, very different in this joint.

592
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: And I know there was only four speaker stacks in

593
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: the old place in Oldheigh Market. This one's got.

594
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 6: Thirty two thirty two.

595
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: When are you going to test that? When it's when?

596
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 6: You can't wait.

597
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: I don't know when the exact data is, but that's

598
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 5: something that we you know, we invested a lot in

599
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 5: We have a typical video system, right, big scoreboards, but

600
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 5: nothing crazy like you said it's so Fi or Mercedes,

601
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 5: Benz or At and t. It just wasn't our thing.

602
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: The sound is another whole other animals. Yeah, there's hundreds

603
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 5: of satellite speakers. You go in and there's speakers everywhere,

604
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 5: not just the big arrays, but within the concourses where

605
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 5: there's dead areas, they're adding small satellite speakers and then

606
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: they're all computer controlled to talk to each other so

607
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 5: that the sound you want the sound to hit everyone

608
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 5: at the same time.

609
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: So, oh yeah, that'll be awesome, awesome.

610
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: With respect to family circle, it's not just going to

611
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: be the Bison statues. There's going to be, you know,

612
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: a nod to the history of the organization, can you

613
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: just because I think it was mentioned in passing in

614
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: the Bison piece, and I understand why the focus was

615
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: the Bisons and the family that's going to be erected there.

616
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: But around it there's going to be like a tip

617
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: of the hat too, instrumental figures in Bill's history.

618
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, basically taking the wall of famers from the

619
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 5: old stadium and putting them around the statues.

620
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: Still have like their own individual like yeah, what do

621
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: we call that a column of what's the structure going

622
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: to look like?

623
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just like an interpretive display basically. So we

624
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 5: have those, and then out front we have this giant

625
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 5: light box twenty two foot wide light box that kind

626
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 5: of welcomes you as you get ink. And so one

627
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: of the things we wanted to do there was tell

628
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: a little bit different story. We just didn't do the

629
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 5: history of the Buffalo Bills. That's kind of the easy thing.

630
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 5: What we're doing is literally the history of the region. Okay,

631
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 5: so you if you're from out of town, you kind

632
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 5: of stand there and find out what makes this area

633
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 5: special from more than just about football exactly.

634
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, but that's cool that the Wall of Fame

635
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: will be outside because then you know, people don't necessarily

636
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 3: like if they're making a trip to Buffalo and it's

637
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 3: not football season and they can't get in the stadium,

638
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 3: they could still go there and still see that, like

639
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: you know, like I like the year round access to.

640
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: We have room for expansion. So when we put you up,

641
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 5: you know, and.

642
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: There are multiple places for picture. You know, in today's

643
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: you know, everybody takes selfies and stuff. So there's all

644
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 4: kinds of places obviously with the bison statues and stuff,

645
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: but are you going to have a like a star

646
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 4: on the on the sidewalk?

647
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: So if you stand here and hold your camera here,

648
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: you get everything.

649
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 5: You know what we say that we've thought of everything,

650
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 5: but we actually haven't thought of that.

651
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 6: I like that idea. So that's something you know, if.

652
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: You contributing to the creative process, Well done.

653
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 6: We have an opening.

654
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: Listen.

655
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: I can't even fill the opening on then, So this

656
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 4: what is are your thoughts about? Because I've heard also

657
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 4: that you know you're getting the keys June first, so

658
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: like June second, you're gonna have a little something something

659
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: in there, like like some small you know what I mean,

660
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: like to break it in a little bit.

661
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 5: They got a whole they got a whole group here

662
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 5: at the at the administration building who was working on that.

663
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 6: So there's a series of events. You know, the practice

664
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 6: will be.

665
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 5: The Blue and Red preseason games, so some sponsorship events.

666
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: And like music that kind of is there gonna be

667
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: a concert the like I know because of the grass

668
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: that they're like it's all of a sudden, it's now

669
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 4: hollowed ground.

670
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, careful when you go out there, right. I learned

671
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 5: that when our travels out when we went to Tottenham, when.

672
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 6: We were doing.

673
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 5: Freak out, yea freak out, there's like the grass police

674
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 5: coming after you.

675
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: You know, whoa, whoa, whoa.

676
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 6: So no, we wanted to protect that that grass.

677
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: Like driving a car on the greens and golf course.

678
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: Don't do that. Yeah you get somebody swinging a club

679
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: at your head.

680
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: It's it's similar. That's awesome stadium.

681
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 4: So so you know, like like you said, when uh,

682
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 4: there's also inside the stadium, what's anything commemorative like in

683
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 4: the of the like I don't want to call like

684
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 4: that a museum type of atmosphere for anything else inside

685
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 4: the stadium.

686
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 5: Like well, the same the players and the history on

687
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 5: the outside. We also have another display in the upper

688
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 5: concourse for that, so we have an in building display

689
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 5: as well. And then we have the retired numbers and

690
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 5: mister Wilson are in bowl, so those of which you know,

691
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 5: we're yeah, we're going to do that and.

692
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: With all now they're going to be in the bowl,

693
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: like where it's like on the walls and.

694
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 6: What you yeah, no on the bowl, right, the.

695
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 2: Jerseys and Ralph are going to be up on that.

696
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: That's great, Yeah, because I have a.

697
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 4: Text loop with those guys and they they were asking them.

698
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 6: Wondering that we got the covering.

699
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 3: Here's a question that I had and if you can't

700
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: answer it, because John might be better equipped to John

701
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 3: Polgan might be better equipt to answer, that's fine. But

702
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: I thinkured I figured I bounced it off you anyway.

703
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 3: Obviously you have the canopy, so there's a smaller open

704
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 3: air area for whether to get in. Not to mention

705
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 3: the fact that underneath the grass field it will be

706
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 3: heated to keep the ground from freezing so the growing

707
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: season can last longer. I think I have all that right,

708
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: you do, knowing they could warm up the field to

709
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: keep it from freezing on a winter day when it

710
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: might be snowing. My question is have we seen the

711
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 3: last of measurable snowfall during a Bill's football game? Like

712
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: can they melt it fast enough to keep it from

713
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: accumulating by warming up the field to a temperature that

714
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 3: would accomplish that? Or is that too dangerous because sloppy.

715
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 6: And don't know.

716
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 5: And I think that when you get those storms we've

717
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 5: seen them where you're getting three inches an hour that

718
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 5: I think that's going to be tough to keep up with.

719
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 5: Ok Now, what's not going to happen is that there's

720
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: not gonna be any snow when the game starts, right,

721
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 5: So that's going to be the field will be pristine.

722
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 5: It's that accumulation.

723
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 6: During the game.

724
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 5: So you're going to be heating it, melting it, You're

725
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: going to be pulling that moisture through. But I think

726
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 5: if it's an epic event, there's probably a point in

727
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 5: which the system can't get right. And that's just now

728
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 5: with a torrential downpour of rain, that can it can

729
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 5: pull all of that rain systems.

730
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 3: That's really I was going.

731
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 2: To ask next.

732
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 4: So it's not going to turn into a quagmire either, right,

733
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: because not just the temperature, but the moisture gets sucked

734
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 4: out of it exactly right.

735
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: Okay, see that's it. That's great. They're going to heat

736
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: it up. But what happens when they heat When you

737
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: heat snow, it turns into mud.

738
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 5: No, Nope, it's all getting pulled through. It's actually piped

739
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 5: down across the abbot.

740
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have to do years ago.

741
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that was one of the first things they did.

742
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: Right to the creek, right.

743
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 5: We felt that too when they were digging the I

744
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 5: think a fifteen inch pipe. That's a big, big pipe

745
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 5: coming through.

746
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: And then the snow melting technology on top of the

747
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 3: canopy because obviously snow can get very heavy and you

748
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: don't want to stress the canopy anymore and you need

749
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 3: to How does that drain down? Is it just like

750
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: a typical gravity gutter system down spouts.

751
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, so it just as it's melting.

752
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 5: And we What I didn't know is that around the

753
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 5: perimeter we have dams built before where the drain goes

754
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 5: through so you don't get a big slide because you

755
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 5: know the roof, you see it, right, So we have

756
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 5: these dams. The engineering is absolutely incredible that but same

757
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 5: thing gravity and over time it will just melt.

758
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: And what has been what has been the thing when

759
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: you like yesterday you had all the media people in

760
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 4: there except for Brownie and I.

761
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah it was working, we're but you had all those media.

762
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 4: What is the one thing that you hear most from

763
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: people who are You're like, okay, here you go, you

764
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: can What do you hear most from those people?

765
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 5: I think it's the angle and the rake of the

766
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 5: seating bowl. You know, we're so used to having the

767
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 5: stadium that kind of gros and we've been talking about Yeah,

768
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 5: I mean, and I say it a lot feels like

769
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 5: a big hockey arena.

770
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 6: It really does, you know, just just goes straight up and.

771
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 4: So it really is kind of like like a a

772
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 4: setup like the like Key Bank, except around a football

773
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 4: field instead of a hockey field.

774
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: It's very vertical and Key Bank, which you can that's

775
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: more like what it is.

776
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think that's the building grows up. People

777
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 5: are just looking into wow that, you know, look at them.

778
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing.

779
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 4: It doesn't strike you as a tall building when you're

780
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: even when you're in the bottom of the of Old

781
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: High Marning.

782
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 5: This one does strike and that helps with just sound too.

783
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 5: I mean, this place is going to be incredibly loud.

784
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 5: We we have you know, that's one we're just not

785
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 5: going to know.

786
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 6: But man, watch.

787
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: Out guessing we I'm guessing with game press there will

788
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 3: be a decibel meter to measure that stuff and reveal

789
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: it on the screen. I mean, why not. I mean,

790
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: if you're going to be one of the loudest places

791
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: in the National Football League, you might as well, measure.

792
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: Nine thousand speakers.

793
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 6: Turn them on, turn them on, natural noise, natural noise.

794
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you think of Seattle, right, yeah, loud

795
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 5: that is. And all they cover is the.

796
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: Side sides, right, So yeah.

797
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 6: Looking forward to it, looking forward to that.

798
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: That's going to be awesome. You can't wait.

799
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: Now, are the buys and all coming in at once

800
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 3: or are they coming one at a time?

801
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 5: And the calf comes first, and then actually the bowl,

802
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 5: the largest one, is the second one to get installed,

803
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 5: and then the cow is the final one. And and

804
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 5: then once those are you know, installed, then we're going

805
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 5: to have a whole system of how do we play

806
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 5: with all the toys that are around them, all the

807
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 5: lighting system, illumination, the smoke system, the audio. Uh, there's

808
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 5: a lot of to be had. Yeah, there's audio speakers

809
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 5: out there, so.

810
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: Your calls, game calls on the audio.

811
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 6: Oh, I can't get enough of you.

812
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: I have some bison, you know out something. I didn't

813
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: know if that was part of the deal too.

814
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: Know what bison sounds like, but neither do I.

815
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: But I'm sure these guys have researched.

816
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,640

Speaker 3: we appreciated Frank. That's Frank Cravada joining us. Bill Senior

825
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 3: Vice President Design and Stadium Ops. Will take a break,

826
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 3: be back with more here on one Bill's Live. Back

827
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: here one of Bill's Live Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

828
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: you and we never got to our topic of conversation,

829
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: but a good conversation there with Frank Cravada, our head

830
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 3: of design. We're all anything and everything stadium related, including

831
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 3: the three Bison who will be coming in the very

832
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: near future, one at a time though apparently the calf first,

833
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 3: then the bull, then the cow, but they will all

834
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 3: be back together once again in family circle in the

835
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: not too distant future. Our topic of discussion, though for

836
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: you today is a little bit off of the hardcore

837
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 3: football path because we thought we have a little fun

838
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 3: with this. Since the Bison statues were now bounced, what

839
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: has been your favorite reveal of the new high Mark Stadium,

840
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: So you can tell us that one bills live something

841
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 3: that really got you excited about the new place. Maybe it's,

842
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 3: you know, the stacked seating. Maybe it's the fact that

843
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: it's going to be arguably the loudest building in the league,

844
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 3: because I think it's got a chance to be that.

845
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: I got a chance with the way it's contoured and constructed,

846
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: and I'm telling you, man, it's.

847
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 4: One of the things I'm going to look forward to seeing.

848
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 4: Is you know, we're probably gonna get a night game.

849
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: This year at home. What it's going to look like

850
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: when it's lit up from the outside. What it's going

851
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 2: to look like from the outside when it's lit up

852
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 2: on the inside there's a game going on, you know

853
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: what I mean? That'll look really neat the pregame tailgating

854
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: and festivities.

855
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: I want to see what that's like. I'm going to

856
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 4: layout of the parking. I want to see an aerial

857
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 4: view of the lots all open, all being used.

858
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: That would be awesome. Yeah, I can't for that.

859
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 3: So, I mean, we just kind of it was mentioned

860
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 3: That's why I asked frank Is, but it was mentioned

861
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 3: in passing about the what for lack of a new term.

862
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 3: The Wall of Fame is going to be reinvented around

863
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 3: family circle. That's what's gonna encircle the Bison statues, right.

864
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 3: And from some of the renderings we saw that it

865
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 3: almost looked like there would be like a long vertical

866
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 3: tablet for each other person, like all the way around.

867
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 2: It looks like Avengers Endgame when the guy comes back

868
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 2: one of those.

869
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 4: It looks like a Space Odyssey twenty ten. It looks

870
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 4: like the obelist they find on the moon. The black

871
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 4: tall rectangular square not really a tombstone, but it's a.

872
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: Long a tall wall, small wall.

873
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 3: That's like a long plank, a stone plank.

874
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 2: So it it.

875
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm as a guy that's on the Wall of Fame,

876
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 4: I'm happy with it.

877
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: And I'll say this too.

878
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 4: It's been asked around the circles that I'm that I

879
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 4: talked to these old guys about you know what's gonna

880
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 4: happen with it? Are the guys from the Wall of

881
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 4: Fame going to be commemorating anyway? And this is one

882
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 4: way to do it? And I also love that they're

883
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 4: going to put Thurman, Jim Bruce, and Ralph.

884
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: Inside the bowl on the wall. Yeah that I think

885
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 2: the retired numbers are tired numbers and Ralph. I think

886
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: that is absolutely.

887
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 3: And they will be there will be another iteration, Frank

888
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 3: said on the upper concourse right of the Wall of Famers. Again,

889
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 3: so outside and inside. Yeah, they will be represented, but

890
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 3: I kind of like the idea of it being outside.

891
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 3: Look at it this way, Steve, you and your brood

892
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 3: of about twenty five, which includes like eleven or twelve

893
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 3: grandchildren already, Now you don't have to buy fifty tickets

894
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 3: to show them on the inside. You could just take

895
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: them to Family Circle. Yeah, it's gonna save you a

896
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: lot of money on tickets.

897
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 4: The bills did as you might imagine that, you know,

898
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 4: the old stadiums coming down. Brian and I've been chuckling

899
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 4: about this. So as a gesture, the organization has reached

900
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 4: out to the Wall of Famers, you know, which there's

901
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 4: some of us that are some of have passed obviously,

902
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 4: but you know a lot of guys are still around.

903
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: They said, yeah, hey, Steve, do you want the letters

904
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:22,920

955
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 4: of that, when you drive by now you'll notice it.

956
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 4: The ticket gates are going up on the outside outside

957
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,040

Speaker 4: where you walk through Gate two, Gate one, and all that.

959
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: They're like that on the end. They're there on the

960
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 4: outside of the stadium. They don't have the fencing around

961
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 4: it yet, which I don't know what that's gonna look like.

997
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 3: but for some other elements as well, including the recreation

998
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 3: of the Wall of Fame around the bison in family Circle,

999
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 3: and there will be another display inside the stadium honoring

1000
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,640

Speaker 2: They took all those guys through.

1011
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 4: Yesterday Brianni and I were working, but so we haven't

00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 4: course they'll take us through whenever we have time to

1016
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 4: do it.

1017
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: But who's got time for that? Right?

1018
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 4: So I'm I don't know whether or now I'm kind

1019
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 4: of torn between like waiting until there's you know what

1020
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 4: I mean, or just going over and like walking through

1021
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 4: and see what, see what it's about. Yeah, I don't

1022
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 4: know if I if we take if you and I

1023
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 4: take the tour, we'll get the back behind the curtain view,

1024
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 4: like yeah, the whole thing, right, right, if we wait,

1025
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 4: we do.

1026
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 3: Want to get up to the broadcast both and see

1027
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 3: what the vantage point looks like there. I mean I've

1028
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 3: heard I don't know, I've heard good things.

1029
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: It's it's not going to be better than the one

1030
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 2: we had in the old high mark was pretty well.

1031
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that that kind of a view is is

1032
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 3: outdated in the modern NFL. I knew from the jump

1033
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 3: we were going to be higher. Oh sure, but that's

1034
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 3: not all bad. No, not further away is bad. I

1035
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: I just wanted to be somewhere on the sideline, and

1036
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 3: I believe we are like right around the forty yard line,

1037
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 3: which is perfect. Yeah, that is it's there is no

1038
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 3: problem calling a game from there.

1039
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 4: You've seen some of the stuff on social where these

1040
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 4: guys going like, you know, Ross Tucker's a big one

1041
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 4: for that. And you've done it too, where you're doing

1042
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 4: a Miami game down and down.

1043
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 3: I don't post it on it, so media.

1044
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 2: The Dolphins, You're sitting in the corner of the end zone.

1045
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: With a window that has metal pains going across it,

1046
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 3: like blocking metal bars. Yeah, and an air conditioner on

1047
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 3: the ceiling that's dropping condensation on your board materials. So

1048
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 3: it's less than ideal.

1049
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 4: We yeah, that's it's I mean it's not it's not

1050
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 4: the Oakland Coliseum, but no, it's some of these places

1051
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 4: are pretty bad.

1052
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 3: But uh, we're talking about a little bit more of

1053
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 3: a lighthearted subject today. What has been your favorite reveal

1054
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 3: from the new high Mark Stadium thus far? Because I

1055
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 3: know people have their favorites in terms of what's been

1056
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 3: announced about the new building and all of its surrounding elements.

1057
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 3: So let's go to the tweets sheet now where you

1058
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 3: can hit us up at one Bill's Live with what

1059
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 3: has excited you the most about the new place? And

1060
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 3: Artie says, first time season ticket holder this year from Atlanta,

1061
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 3: very excited. But more than anything, I want to be

1062
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 3: able to miss very little to no game time to

1063
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 3: use the restroom, and I'll be happy little to no

1064
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 3: game time, he wants. I can tell you you'll be

1065
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 3: able to hear the game when you're in the bathroom.

1066
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 3: You'll hear Eric and I. Yeah, I often joke that

1067
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 3: more people hear me in the bathroom in Erie County

1068
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 3: than anyone else. Yeah, because we still have the broadcast

1069
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: going for them when they can't see the game. Now,

1070
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 3: maybe that should have been a question for Frank. Will

1071
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 3: it be any television monitors in the restroom?

1072
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 2: Right? I don't know them.

1073
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 4: You can't, I mean ask what it is in at

1074
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 4: and T Stadium. You know the Dallas Cowboys Stadium down

1075
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 4: there where you know they've got the sixty yard long

1076
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 4: TV up above the field. But it's not just that.

1077
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 4: I mean you can't go anywhere in that stadium. You

1078
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 4: can't take your jacket off and you elbow a TV monitor.

1079
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there anywhere.

1080
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 3: I think Artie's main canern here is the lines for

1081
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 3: the bathroom. Oh for sure, that will not be an

1082
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 3: issue from a new place. If you remember old High Mark,

1083
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 3: they had to do a renovation and install bathroom towers

1084
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 3: for the upper deck. Season ticket holders and people going

1085
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 3: to games that sat upstairs in the three hundred level.

1086
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: They had to install bathroom towers to reduce the time

1087
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 3: it would take for them to go down to another

1088
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 3: bathroom and then come all the way back up and

1089
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 3: back to their seats at the three hundred level. Right,

1090
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 3: And that was only put in ten twelve years ago.

1091
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 3: The stadium that these modern stadiums have more bathrooms everywhere

1092
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 3: every level.

1093
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 2: The stadium that the Bills are leaving was old, is

1094
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 2: older and has been older than the rock pile was

1095
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 2: when the Bills left it the first time. And you know,

1096
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: the rock pile was like it was like the Roman Colisseum.

1097
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 2: It was sold. I mean it was like stone and

1098
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: steel and that is it. I mean, you had people,

1099
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 2: it was.

1100
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 4: I mean that stadium was Remember the stories people were

1101
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 4: carrying kegs of beer into the stadium, because that's.

1102
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 2: How un what it was. It called ungoverned that place was.

1103
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 3: That was the lack of amenities involved.

1104
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that's in this place.

1105
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 4: The old stadium they're leaving right now is light was

1106
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 4: light years ahead of the rock pile, and that's where

1107
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 4: this one's gonna be. It's gonna be light years ahead

1108
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 4: of where this old stadium was in a lot of respects.

1109
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 3: Uh Swalk On the tweets, she says, the Bisons are awesome.

1110
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 3: The whole stadium shows that both the fan experience and

1111
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 3: the player's performance were the priorities. Well done. It's a

1112
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 3: little golf clap there from Swolk. Dan says, the grass

1113
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 3: patches on the sidelines for the kickers. I'm not sure

1114
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 3: I'm wholly familiar with that. I know it's not real

1115
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 3: grass on the sidelines. Obviously a grass field, but knowing

1116
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 3: that that is a high traffic area, they did not

1117
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: make that natural grass as well.

1118
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 2: That's going to be a lot of places do that.

1119
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: That's going to be more turf related. But yeah, grass

1120
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 3: patches on the sidelines for the kickers, I'm assuming to

1121
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 3: practice and warm up and they, Yeah, I do know

1122
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 3: that in the bowels of the stadium, right off of

1123
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 3: both of the locker rooms, there will be a turf

1124
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 3: area for players to warm up before they even take

1125
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 3: the field.

1126
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 4: Right so if it's a freezing cold day, they can

1127
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 4: some guys, you can bet they will. They'll warm up

1128
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 4: inside and they'll go outside and just kind of hang

1129
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 4: out pre game and they'll be able to do pregame

1130
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 4: workouts off the field, not on the field, you know,

1131
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 4: like you can see this is Joe Brad.

1132
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 2: This is video Joe Brady walking through there.

1133
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 4: It's a little bit like a mini field house next

1134
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 4: to the locker room in the field, so they can

1135
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 4: go out, work out and these you know how these

1136
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 4: guys we say is a game time decision, they can

1137
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 4: out and they bring them out at ten am, work

1138
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 4: them out.

1139
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 2: They'll do that inside nobody will.

1140
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 3: See Yeah, you probably won't see them.

1141
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 2: Well, like you used to that, like we used to.

1142
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 3: Bill on the tweets sheet says grass because it should

1143
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 3: have been put in the old stadium forty years ago.

1144
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 3: I understand where you're coming from, Bill, But here's the

1145
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 3: rub back. Then you didn't have the technology to keep

1146
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 3: the grass healthy once you got to November December. I mean,

1147
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 3: think about it this way. You and I put our

1148
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 3: mowers away around Halloween, first week in November at the latest.

1149
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 3: Why because the growing season's over, it's nothing to cut,

1150
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 3: and then sometimes the grass will brown over. Well, that

1151
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 3: will never happen here because of the technology that exists

1152
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 3: underneath the grass field, which will keep the ground from

1153
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 3: freezing because it will be heated with like you know

1154
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 3: if you've got a bathroom with a heated floor, same

1155
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 3: kind of concept here.

1156
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're watching a time lapse of then putting the

1157
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 4: turf down. The thing that interested me more than that,

1158
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 4: more than anything else. They showed it go dark overnight

1159
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 4: and they had lights on. I want to see it

1160
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 4: and at the place looks awesome at night.

1161
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 3: But the point here is the reason you can have

1162
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 3: grass in a northern climate like this nowadays in a

1163
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: stadium is because you have the technology underneath it to

1164
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 3: extend the growing season of the grass because you're never

1165
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: letting the ground freeze. So it's almost like you're tricking

1166
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 3: the grass into continually growing because it thinks it's in

1167
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 3: a warmer climate than it actually is, and that keeps

1168
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 3: the grass healthier, stronger, and it translates into a better

1169
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 3: playing service even in the latter stages of the year.

1170
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 4: I have been on grass fields that were you know

1171
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 4: NFL super quality, you know surfaces, and it, I mean

1172
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 4: it is so.

1173
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: These grass. This grass is not like your yard grass.

1174
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: They got it.

1175
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's dense, it's thick, it's plush, and you

1176
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 4: walk out, you go out and run. It just makes

1177
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 4: you want to kick into a trot. I mean, there's

1178
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 4: it's so nice, that flat surface, uniform beautiful. I remember

1179
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 4: playing in the old Cleveland Stadium and it was it

1180
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 4: was an absolute atrocity. It was a sandbox with with

1181
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 4: squares of sod two by two squares of sods sitting

1182
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 4: in the middle of an eight foot circle of sand,

1183
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 4: and it was and they would spray paint the end

1184
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 4: zones that were that were sand. Uh, it was just horrible.

1185
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 4: This in this day and age, this field is just

1186
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 4: gonna be absolutely immaculate. And I'm sure they may it

1187
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 4: may change over time, but it's like anything you're in

1188
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 4: a new house, you're always make treating everything just oh

1189
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 4: yeah with kid gloves, you know, and uh, and they'll

1190
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 4: they'll treat this grass like that for the foreseeable future.

1191
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 2: You're not.

1192
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 4: I mean, Joe Brady's out there walking around on it.

1193
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 4: Nobody else is gonna be able to get out there.

1194
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,479
Speaker 4: They're not gonna have concerts on it. They're not gonna,

1195
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 4: you know, any that stuff.

1196
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 3: For the first season.

1197
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how cool these grass fields are

1198
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 4: when they get them up and they're running their perfect.

1199
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 3: Jack on the tweets sheet says the roof hands down,

1200
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 3: move my tickets to upstairs under the canopy to stay dry.

1201
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: I don't mind cold or snow, but rain, especially November December,

1202
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 3: rain and cold like forty degrees and wet is the worst.

1203
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 3: Second favorite is the ability to see the game from

1204
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 3: the concourses, so I don't miss action when I need

1205
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 3: a Bruski.

1206
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1207
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have improved site lines to the field. Even

1208
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 3: if you're in the concourse, you should be able to

1209
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 3: see the field in most cases, and I would imagine

1210
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 3: in the areas where that might not be possible, there

1211
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 3: will be television monitors.

1212
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 4: Right the concourses right and yeah, or traffic flow. You

1213
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 4: people will be in your way because they'll be up

1214
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 4: there walking on.

1215
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: But you're right.

1216
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 4: The canopy, it looks like from the outside looking down

1217
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 4: on it, like, yeah, you see a lot of stuff's covered.

1218
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 4: When you're inside looking up, it looks like it's like

1219
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 4: there's no no canopy there at all. But when you

1220
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 4: get under your like if you go into the seats

1221
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 4: and walk up the aisles. This was true months ago

1222
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 4: when we were there. You look up and say, oh, yeah,

1223
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 4: I am kind of I am covered here. It doesn't

1224
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 4: look like you're covered, but you are. Yeah, that's and

1225
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 4: you're right. I'm totally with Jack. Just keep me dry, please,

1226
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 4: just give me some little dry you know, I don't

1227
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 4: want to sit in the rain the snow. I gotta

1228
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 4: live with that because it doesn't make me wet, and

1229
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 4: you can brush it off that.

1230
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 2: Kind of you know, the whole thing.

1231
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 3: Just just keep me out of the rain, wet and cold.

1232
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 3: It's not a good combinations the worst, Andrew says on

1233
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 3: the tweets sheet heated canopy system, which is the NFL's

1234
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 3: largest hydronic snow melt system, there's a fifty cent word.

1235
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 3: I know it's not the wow factor for some fans,

1236
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 3: but for me, the engineering side of it is quite

1237
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 3: something inner nerd coming out. Lol. Yeah, And we asked

1238
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 3: Frank about the snow melt system and that's on the.

1239
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Field though none of the canopies. The canopy heated.

1240
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, to melt the snow that lands on it. Yeah,

1241
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 3: that's what I was asking him about. Where I thought

1242
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 3: you were talking. Well, I knew that, I didn't know

1243
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 3: it was heated. I thought, oh, yeah, melt on because

1244
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 3: you don't want I mean, think about when we have

1245
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 3: a heavy, wet snow that's a lot of weight bear

1246
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 3: down on the can if you want to melt that

1247
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 3: as quick as you can. Kevin man off.

1248
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 2: Save the water for the field.

1249
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 3: Or well, he said, they'll have a draco system much

1250
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 3: like your roof, you know, gutters and down spouts and whatever.

1251
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 4: It's channel to imagine how much water is going to

1252
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 4: be pouring out of it. That's why he said fifteen pipe.

1253
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 3: That's why he said they're going to have like diversions

1254
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 3: so the water doesn't flow all into one spot, so

1255
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 3: that the snow doesn't all slop, be diverted into a

1256
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 3: number of places.

1257
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 2: That's awesome to think about that stuff.

1258
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, those people have to think, you know, those engineers,

1259
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: they got to think about everything. James as, bring the

1260
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 3: noise inside the stadium, ditch the train horn, bring the

1261
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 3: stampede noise, the of the Bisons inside. Imagine the stadium

1262
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 3: rocking on third down with a video of a stampede

1263
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 3: of Buffalo and the Mafia banging on the wall. Stadium boats,

1264
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 3: bolts will fall off. Well, I don't know if we

1265
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 3: want that, but yeah, I don't think it's gonna be

1266
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 3: a problem making it alloud in there, that's for sure.

1267
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 2: Here's one thing that we you know, you don't know

1268
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 2: how it's gonna evolve. I guess.

1269
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 4: We evolved into the because of the leaders of the

1270
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 4: of the franchise and the famous guys in the franchise

1271
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 4: and the and the way the team was and is,

1272
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 4: and we evolved to what the atmosphere was in old

1273
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 4: Hei Mark Stadium where you had the pregame, where else

1274
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 4: would you rather be? And everybody would answer right here

1275
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 4: right than right here right now.

1276
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 2: I don't. I guess they'll start keep doing that.

1277
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 4: But this new Stadium's atmosphere is going to be unique

1278
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 4: to it and the fan, this generation, you, the this

1279
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 4: generation of Bills fans, is gonna make it your own.

1280
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 4: You're gonna have your own traditions. You're gonna they're gonna evolve,

1281
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna you know, you're you're moving in there with

1282
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 4: Josh and this crew and let's and expectations off the charts.

1283
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 4: It's gonna be its own atmosphere. And it's time. I

1284
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 4: hate to say it, but it's time to get some

1285
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 4: new traditions. You know, you train horn, Okay, you want

1286
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 4: to come up with another one, make it, make it

1287
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 4: mean something. I'm all for it. I'm I'm not against

1288
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 4: change at all. I'm all for evolution and making it,

1289
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 4: making things better a little by little by little by little.

1290
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 2: Taking steps. Let's make you know, you gotta make the

1291
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: new high Mark make it home right.

1292
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 3: I do think there is some appreciation for the tradition

1293
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 3: and nostalgia, and I think some of that should be

1294
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 3: incorporated in the new Stadium and obviously it is with

1295
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 3: you know, their iteration of the Wall of Fame. And

1296
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 3: I think there will be some other game day elements

1297
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 3: that they'll carry from the old place that some people love,

1298
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 3: that are tried and true and they don't want to

1299
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:25,439
Speaker 3: see disappear. They know the building here on this side

1300
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 3: of Abbot Road will be disappearing by March twenty twenty seven.

1301
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 3: But if they can bring some of the game day

1302
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 3: traditions that have become so ingrained in the minds of fans,

1303
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 3: I don't think you want to get rid of all

1304
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 3: of that. I think you want to keep a good

1305
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 3: amount of that that people relish and love being a

1306
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 3: part of on game Day. But I get what you're saying, Yeah,

1307
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 3: you want to develop some new things or creator invent

1308
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 3: some new game day staples. I'm all about And.

1309
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 4: I think the organization's been really good, and particularly under

1310
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 4: Terry and him, they've been really good about having their

1311
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 4: ear to the ground about what the fans really what's

1312
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 4: important to them, their social media influencers, this, you know,

1313
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 4: pinto Ron, you know, the whole you know everything, breaking tables,

1314
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 4: the neighborhood right there on the corner of Abbott and

1315
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 4: twenty A, the billlevard all of it. They've been really

1316
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 4: good about making sure that they listen to what is

1317
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 4: important to the fans, and you.

1318
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Know, lean into it.

1319
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 4: And I think that's all you really have to be

1320
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 4: committed to is making sure you got your finger on

1321
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 4: the pulse of what Buffalo fans really want when they

1322
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 4: come to this place, what it's evolving into, what you

1323
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 4: can exploit that they would love, that that you know

1324
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 4: they would love even if they didn't think of it.

1325
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,439
Speaker 4: And then also just listen to what they want.

1326
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 3: And so I'm.

1327
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 4: I think that's going to be a lot of fun

1328
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 4: watching that happen in the new place. And I don't

1329
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 4: think we should be afraid of it or fight against

1330
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 4: it anyway. I just lean into it.

1331
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: Let's go new home. Let's let's make it like I said,

1332
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 2: let's make it home.

1333
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 3: Jim on the tweets sheet says, love the images showing

1334
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 3: the stadium feel from the seating area. Can picture watching

1335
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 3: games there. The stampeding Bisons are pretty sweet too. Yeah,

1336
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 3: they might look even better at night when they're les.

1337
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna have this huge computer generated lighting system

1338
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 4: that's going to be interact I don't know if it's interactive,

1339
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 4: but it's gonna you.

1340
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 3: Know, illuminate, it'll look different all the time. Yeah, it's

1341
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 3: got different colors. Presumably red and blue will be pretty prominent,

1342
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 3: especially with you know, the streak on each side of them.

1343
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 3: We've already seen renderings where the streak is outlined in

1344
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 3: red lighting. But then at night, you know, they'll be

1345
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 3: illuminated from the bottom, you know, kind of like you

1346
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 3: see the American flag illuminated if it's flying at night.

1347
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 3: You know, it'll be similar to that, I would think

1348
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 3: to some degree. And good on you for remembering that.

1349
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 3: You know, the look of these bison are just like

1350
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 3: the look of the new uniform combination that we saw

1351
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 3: last season with the silver metallic bill's logo. These bison

1352
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 3: are going to be emblematic of that. They're going to

1353
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 3: look just like that bison. So I think that's cool

1354
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 3: that they've kind of tied those two things together because

1355
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 3: we'll probably see that jersey at some other point in

1356
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 3: time maybe, hope.

1357
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 2: So I like that jersey that.

1358
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 3: Was they didn't win that game an l in it,

1359
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 3: but still, yeah, I would like to see it again,

1360
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 3: no question about what they call it. But the winter

1361
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 3: something look, I can't even remember what they titled the lookout.

1362
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what was that?

1363
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 4: Cause somebody knowing that in the control room. I can't

1364
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 4: remember what they winter frost, I don't know, white out, Yeah,

1365
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 4: I don't. I can't cold cold Front, that's what it was.

1366
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1367
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 3: Cold was pretty sweet. Yeah. I wouldn't mind seeing those

1368
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 3: resurface at some point.

1369
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.

1370
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 3: You know what I've heard more about than that though,

1371
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 3: the Red helmets. Yeah, people are still gaga over the

1372
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 3: Red helmets.

1373
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1374
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 3: Like I've talked to, you know, people in my neighborhood

1375
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: and you know, just people you meet out and about,

1376
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,759
Speaker 3: and hey, you think we're gonna wear the red helmets

1377
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 3: for a game or two again? Next year?

1378
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 2: I'll have those week eighteen games eighteen game.

1379
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's probably why it's in the forefront of

1380
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 3: everybody's memory. It was the last home game. Yea, So

1381
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 3: people remember that uniform combination more than that whole Cold

1382
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 3: Front thing because.

1383
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 4: That was a big reveal too. The Cold fronting was big.

1384
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 4: I mean you there was thousands of those jerseys. Like

1385
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 4: day one, people were sporting those. I mean I remember

1386
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 4: I can't remember where we were, but I saw it.

1387
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 4: I went someplace they were like, I saw fifty of

1388
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 4: the those jerseys, like the day they got revealed how

1389
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 4: they got them.

1390
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 3: It is great sold. Well, yeah, that's for sure. We

1391
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,840

1393
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,000

1398
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 3: your favorite reveal from the new high Mark Stadium. If

1399
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 3: that's some interesting responses thus far, you still have time

1400
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 3: to chime in at One Bill's Live on Twitter or

1401
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:56,679
Speaker 3: x and I think there are a lot of things

1402
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 3: to obviously choose from. You know, if you kind of

1403
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,600
Speaker 3: kept your ear to the round on this, do you

1404
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 3: have something specific in mind that I'm really kind of yeah,

1405
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 3: I mean I got you excited.

1406
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 4: I am looking forward to the sound system. It was

1407
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 4: rough in the old stadium, and they said they're gonna

1408
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 4: put put some effort into this, and they we had

1409
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 4: Frank on he was the same way.

1410
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be better.

1411
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna be well, that's where they put most of

1412
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,560
Speaker 3: their money in terms of technology and technology.

1413
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is awesome, and.

1414
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 3: I like that.

1415
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see that, hear it, and feel it.

1416
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 4: I'm also just I I'm excited. I just want to

1417
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 4: walk around the place when there's people in it, you know.

1418
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 4: I want to see what it's like when Bills fans

1419
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 4: are there, and what a moment it's going to be

1420
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 4: when you know, the Bills run out of that tunnel

1421
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 4: for the first time.

1422
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very excited to see the the concourses because

1423
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 3: having been through that on a game day, you know,

1424
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 3: whether I'm going downstairs to just catch up with my

1425
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 3: family for a few minutes, when I have a few minutes,

1426
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 3: it would bottleneck in there something fierce because people are

1427
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 3: looking to use the restroom, they're looking to hit the

1428
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 3: concession stand, They're looking to just get up and out

1429
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 3: on the main concourse outside the bowl in the old place,

1430
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 3: just to kind of congregate and catch up with maybe

1431
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 3: friends that are in other sections there for a few minutes.

1432
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 3: No gathering place it was, Yeah, but I mean the

1433
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 3: congestion was the issue and that's all going to just

1434
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,560
Speaker 3: go away, and I'm very interested to see, you know,

1435
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 3: how smoothly the traffic moves through the building. And I'm

1436
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 3: kind of on board with one of the other respondents

1437
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 3: that we had who was talking about being able to

1438
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 3: see the game even when you're walking in the concourse,

1439
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,839
Speaker 3: they will be viewing angles to still see the field

1440
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 3: even if you're not in your seat, which I think

1441
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: is a cool thing that does not exist at a

1442
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 3: lot of even the newer stadiums. So I think that's

1443
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 3: a unique element that I'm looking forward to.

1444
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 2: And then.

1445
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm not a ritzy guy by any means, but some

1446
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 3: of these renderings for some of these club suites, my goodness,

1447
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 3: you want to talk about high end Holy.

1448
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 2: Cats, man.

1449
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 3: I saw there's one where it's got like an escalator

1450
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 3: bringing you into one of the I was like an

1451
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 3: escalator you go down into a Tom Cruis and rain

1452
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 3: Man at the casino.

1453
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 4: That's right, you go down into it and he walk in.

1454
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 4: It's like a club you walk in, and then it's

1455
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 4: also the spot where you can walk out into the

1456
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 4: place and you're gonna see these guys coming right out

1457
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 4: of the locker room.

1458
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 2: They're gonna go past you to the field.

1459
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 3: Those viewing areas do exist in other buildings. I know

1460
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 3: at Mercedes Benz in Atlanta, they have a bar and

1461
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 3: grill underneath the lower bowl in the end zone with

1462
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 3: three walls of glass that basically allow you to see

1463
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 3: the players come out of the locker room and make

1464
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 3: their way to the field and they go right past you. Yeah,

1465
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 3: there is something similar here.

1466
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 4: You're for that get a chance to see him close up.

1467
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 4: And we've all seen the videos or we have it

1468
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 4: on the open of our show where Josh and those

1469
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 4: guys huddle up and they say, I love you boys

1470
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 4: one two three went on three one two three win.

1471
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 2: You'll be standing right there. You won't have to see

1472
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 2: it on video. Yep.

1473
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 4: That's really up close. And that's most stadiums have that, now,

1474
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 4: not a handful handful. Uh, this will be one of them.

1475
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, to be down there, and of course it'll

1476
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 2: be a heated comfort, correct, Yes, I mean yeah, So

1477
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm I'm all about it. I think it's going to

1478
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 2: be great.

1479
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 3: I also am interested to see how the canopy and

1480
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 3: the construction of the outer shell of the stadium will

1481
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 3: reduce the wind. We I expec octed on one of

1482
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 3: the tour's last fall. The wind was whipping that day,

1483
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 3: and I was like, Oh, this is gonna be a

1484
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,560
Speaker 3: good test as to what it's going to be like

1485
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 3: on the field on a windy day. Is it going

1486
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,679
Speaker 3: to be as protected as they say? And we stood

1487
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 3: in the front row behind the uprights in the end zone.

1488
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 3: We're in the first row, so I'm as close to

1489
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 3: being on the field as i can possibly be without

1490
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 3: being on the field. And I'm looking up at the

1491
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 3: flag on top of the stadium and it is straight

1492
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 3: and it's just whipping, you know, like a fishtail.

1493
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 2: You mean the canopy on the top of the canopy.

1494
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 3: So we know how windy it is. And I'm standing

1495
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 3: there in row one. It's nothing, nothing like.

1496
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,839
Speaker 2: Well that makes it a lot warmer.

1497
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 3: Well, yes, it makes it warmer, but it also makes

1498
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 3: it easier to throw the ball.

1499
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 2: Why yeah, and kick hitting, punt it and all that that. Yeah,

1500
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 2: forget that. Who cares?

1501
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 4: I'm going to be well the players care, right, I

1502
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 4: mean it's gonna be the same for both teams. So yeah,

1503
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 4: but I'm yes, you're not going to be able to

1504
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 4: the wind and the going towards the tunnel and towards

1505
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 4: the scoreboard and the old plays.

1506
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 2: It was a big thing.

1507
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 4: The corner the visitors side toward the scoreboard corner was

1508
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 4: a death trap to any ball that was flying through

1509
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 4: the air.

1510
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 2: All of that. So, yeah, that's that's all gonna go away.

1511
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be spectacular to see, you know,

1512
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 4: this team walk out of there and play and have

1513
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 4: games in the uniform combinations, and it's gonna be great.

1514
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 3: I also know that more than just the people where

1515
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 3: the players come out are gonna be able to view them,

1516
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 3: because they're gonna come out one tunnel right and then

1517
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 3: after once they hit halftime, they will exit right through

1518
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 3: a tunnel on the other side. So they come in

1519
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 3: on the southwest corner of the stadium, but they leave

1520
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 3: to go back to the locker room in the northwest side.

1521
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 4: At least somewhere in that area there's a way to

1522
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 4: their locker room right behind the bench. Oh, they can

1523
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 4: walk straight out of the right off like that. I

1524
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 4: know it wasn't the same the Chiefs and Baltimore has

1525
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 4: all these stands where you go down right behind the

1526
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 4: bench the stairs. New England has that too, for the

1527
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 4: small flat tunnel right behind their bench, and they just

1528
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 4: they can tool right off the back for the game

1529
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 4: introductions and all that. They'll walk down the concourse and

1530
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 4: come in the end through the tunnel in that southwest corner,

1531
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 4: like you said, and that'll be the big fanfare and

1532
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 4: the lights and the smoke and the Bison, you know,

1533
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,799
Speaker 4: the Bison statues they come out of like the pirate

1534
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 4: technics that they do now, but at halftime they'll come

1535
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 4: in and out of them behind the bench.

1536
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I know that they may make at some

1537
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 3: point in time tickets available for their standing room only areas,

1538
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 3: which are going to be in the end zone at

1539
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 3: a pavilion, But I kind of want to see what

1540
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 3: the game day atmosphere looks like there, because it'll be

1541
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 3: a pavilion with full view of the field, you know,

1542
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 3: from the end zone. Like they put a pavilion in

1543
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 3: behind the tunnel end zone, but you couldn't see the

1544
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 3: field the stands were in the way it was behind

1545
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 3: the stands.

1546
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, what was it called the bar behind?

1547
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1548
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the end zone, they're gonna have the same

1549
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 3: kind of thing, but it's gonna have full view of

1550
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 3: the field. You may not have a seat, but you can.

1551
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 3: I think at some point in time they're probably gonna

1552
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 3: have a standing room only ticket that you can buy,

1553
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 3: and you just spend the afternoon in the.

1554
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 4: Pivot standing room only ticket. I mean you might have

1555
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 4: to use it in this opening game. Yeah, you're not

1556
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 4: gonna be able to get near this joint on opening day.

1557
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 3: I would think Stephen on the tweets sheet says, it's

1558
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 3: not a stadium thing. I do love all of it,

1559
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 3: but what I don't get is if you love a

1560
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 3: prospect in the draft, and you think you'll be a

1561
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 3: great player, why does it matter where you pick him.

1562
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 3: If he's a guy you think is great, get him

1563
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 3: as soon as you can.

1564
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 2: That's correct.

1565
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 3: Well, I think in those instances, more often than not

1566
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 3: that is the case. But I think what you're not

1567
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 3: thinking about is how do the skills and character and

1568
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 3: ability of that player measure up to all the other

1569
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 3: players in the draft pool. It's not just an individualized

1570
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 3: player rating. It's a player rating based on all the

1571
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 3: other players that are in the draft pool too. Because

1572
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 3: the unending or never changing premise is you want to

1573
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 3: get the best players possible to make your team better.

1574
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 3: And I understand that each team individually says and for example,

1575
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 3: here in Buffalo, does this guy fit the Bills because

1576
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 3: he may be a perfect Raider, but he might not

1577
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 3: be a good Buffalo Bill based on the game they play,

1578
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 3: what they require of a player at a given position,

1579
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 3: A multitude of things that vary from team to team.

1580
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 3: But most importantly, yes, you might love the player, but

1581
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 3: what if there's ten players better than that guy? You

1582
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 3: love that player, but you love nine other players too, well,

1583
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 3: now you got to rank him. How much do you

1584
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 3: love him?

1585
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 5: Right?

1586
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 3: And so I think that the leads to player grades

1587
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 3: that properly stack on a board.

1588
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:15,560
Speaker 4: You're right, though, Steven. It's not me, but I do

1589
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 4: agree with you. It doesn't matter where. Nobody will complain

1590
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 4: if the guy turns out to be great, No matter

1591
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 4: where you pick him, nobody will even they'll. In fact,

1592
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 4: it's better, obviously if you pick a great player and

1593
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 4: you pick him ninetieth instead of first, right, because then

1594
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,839
Speaker 4: you look like a genius for finding this guy. Matt Mulano,

1595
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 4: Christian Benford, Tarren Johnson, Khalil Shakir. You can go down

1596
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 4: the list, those are great players, but you go Tremaine Edmunds,

1597
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 4: Tredavious White, care Elam got those guys picked at their spots.

1598
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 4: It's hard, And I said this, I've been saying this

1599
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 4: all week. It's hard for these young guys to come

1600
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 4: in as a first round draft pick. If you're picked

1601
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 4: thirty second in the NFL draft, you can't imagine the

1602
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 4: difference between getting picked thirty second and getting picked thirty third.

1603
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 4: There's a big difference. You can feel it in the

1604
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 4: locker room. You can feel it in the way the

1605
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 4: kid is, the expectations, all of it. So where if

1606
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 4: the if he's the guy, You're right, it does not matten.

1607
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 4: Nobody cares where you picked him. But if you if

1608
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 4: you pick him and that's where that's why they go in. Yeah,

1609
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 4: if they pick him and he's not the guy, it

1610
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 4: doesn't matter where you pick him either. You can't win,

1611
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

1612
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,680
Speaker 4: You go back and you know, look at last year

1613
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 4: and now I'm having trouble even remembering the kids I

1614
01:21:53,000 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 4: got the seventh rounder. Oh, Kayden Prater, what do you

1615
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:00,680
Speaker 4: you know?

1616
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 2: He's gone?

1617
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:01,600
Speaker 3: Now?

1618
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Everybody? You know, if you bring

1619
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 2: his name, everybody's like, looking to Brandon Bingle, what are

1620
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 2: you doing?

1621
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 4: He's one of the Its no guaranty making this right, Right,

1622
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 4: we got a roster that's going to this you know,

1623
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 4: good enough to go to the super Bowl ostensibly, and

1624
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 4: you you know, you got to live with that. So

1625
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 4: if you get the right guy, yes, it doesn't matter

1626
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 4: where you pick him. If you get the wrong guy,

1627
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 4: this just in. It doesn't matter where you pick him either,

1628
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 4: except that you waste the pick.

1629
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 2: M hm.

1630
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 4: That's that's the problem. So, yeah, they they're not picking

1631
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 4: anybody they don't like. They're not picking anybody they don't

1632
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 4: think has at least a chance to make their squad

1633
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 4: or at least has a chance to develop into somebody

1634
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 4: who could make their squad. That's yes, I get it,

1635
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 4: I mean, but that the point you're making. It seems

1636
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 4: like it's a little obvious. Nobody cares where you pick

1637
01:22:58,760 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 4: the guy if he can play.

1638
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 3: Right. Of course, there's still a system by which you

1639
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 3: have to rank the players that are in the pool,

1640
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 3: Like you can't just say, ah, I love that guy,

1641
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 3: What if there's fifty other guys that are better than

1642
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 3: him based on your scouting for the better part of

1643
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 3: the last ten months and majority of opinions that lean

1644
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 3: in that direction. You know, I love Keyante Scott, the

1645
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 3: defensive back from Miami, but he's not going to be

1646
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 3: a first round pick. It's probably a second or third round.

1647
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 3: Why because there are probably forty to fifty players that

1648
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 3: are superior to him in total body of work, ability,

1649
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 3: expertise at their position, I mean a multitude of things.

1650
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 3: So you might love that player, but if you've got

1651
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 3: forty players on your board that are better than that guy,

1652
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 3: you're not just going to arbitrarily take him at twenty six, right.

1653
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:05,759
Speaker 3: So I think that's the element of the draft process

1654
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 3: that you're conveniently leaving out.

1655
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 4: I'm noting what you're saying, but yeah, you have to

1656
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 4: feel like the player justifies the value of the pick

1657
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 4: on the day you draft him. And that's a roll

1658
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,839
Speaker 4: of the dice, because you know, we don't know the future,

1659
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 4: and these guys turn out to be disappointments and they

1660
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 4: turn out to be bonuses, they turn out to be,

1661
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 4: you know, better than you thought they could be, but

1662
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 4: you don't know that, and every time you every time

1663
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 4: they turn that card in on draft day, it's a

1664
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 4: roll of the dice and sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't.

1665
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 4: But you evaluate these guys the same people evaluate all

1666
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 4: these guys. You have a raft of people in your

1667
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:50,639
Speaker 4: building that evaluate these guys. Now, you tell me why

1668
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 4: they get some of them exactly right and some of

1669
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 4: them they completely whiff on that. If you can answer that, yeah,

1670
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 4: somebody will hire you.

1671
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the token answer. It's an inexact science because you're

1672
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 3: dealing with humans and you can research as much as

1673
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 3: you want about a given person, but invariably there'll be

1674
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 3: something that you may have not uncovered that falls through

1675
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 3: the cracks in terms of the details on that person,

1676
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 3: that player, however, you want to look at them through

1677
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 3: whatever lens, and it leads to missus unfortunately. Yeah, and

1678
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,719
Speaker 3: with the money they make in this league nowadays, money

1679
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 3: sometimes changes people too, into something different than what they

1680
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:36,639
Speaker 3: were when they first left cop.

1681
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 4: I've said this a law. You can never prove it

1682
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 4: because we can't go back in time. I've said it

1683
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 4: since the very beginning of my own career as a

1684
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 4: pro forty years ago, whatever years ago. Some guy who

1685
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,719
Speaker 4: gets the same guy, if he would have gotten picked

1686
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 4: in the fifth round instead of the first round, he

1687
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 4: would have had a better career.

1688
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 2: He would have and vice versa.

1689
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 4: If a guy would have gotten picked higher, he would

1690
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 4: have had a better career, or by a different team,

1691
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 4: he would have had.

1692
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 2: A much better career.

1693
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 4: You can all see the fact that if if a

1694
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 4: guy had a better got picked by a different team,

1695
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,560
Speaker 4: we would have had a better career because a better setting,

1696
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 4: all of that that goes, it goes the other way

1697
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 4: as well, both directions, and that's that's you'll never be

1698
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 4: able to prove that, but I think the truth of

1699
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 4: it is self evident.

1700
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 3: I do want your thoughts on this when we get

1701
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 3: back because with the advent of nil money and some

1702
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 3: players staying longer in college to make that money because

1703
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 3: it's not terribly different from a rookie contracture, how much

1704
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 3: does that give scouts a better read on what they

1705
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 3: will be as pros with similar to even more money.

1706
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 3: We'll tackle that when we get back here on One

1707
01:26:49,080 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 3: Bill's Live, presented by coll Out of Health. All right

1708
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,759
Speaker 3: back here on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker,

1709
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 3: one last segment to go, And I posed the question

1710
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 3: to Steve because we started talking about why are their

1711
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 3: misses in the draft, and we talked about how money

1712
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,640
Speaker 3: can change people from the you know, the kind of

1713
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 3: player they were coming out of college and loving football,

1714
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden they got a boatload of

1715
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 3: money and they're like, why am I hurting every week

1716
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 3: for this? It changes people? Well, right, the rigors of

1717
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 3: the game and money, I guess both change people. So

1718
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 3: my question to Steve was, in the advent of nil money,

1719
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 3: where players in college are staying longer because some of

1720
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 3: them are getting paid close to what you'd make on

1721
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 3: a rookie contract in the NFL, does that give scouting

1722
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 3: executives an advantage of knowing what they'll be like as

1723
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 3: a player in the NFL when they have money, because

1724
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 3: they might already have some. Oh, absolutely, I think it's

1725
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 3: a I think it sheds a little more light on

1726
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 3: sheds on what they're about, right.

1727
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 2: Because they always they always ask these guys.

1728
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 4: Always thought it was crazy when I was a kid

1729
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 4: that you'd go in get interviewed by NFL teams or whatever,

1730
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 4: and they'd always ask you the same question, do you

1731
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 4: want to play pro football? Like, my grandfather's been dead

1732
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 4: for ten years, and yeah, he wanted he wants to

1733
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 4: play pro football.

1734
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 2: I thought everybody did. Of course, I want to play

1735
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 2: pro football.

1736
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 4: It's easy and it's easy to say. It's easy to

1737
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 4: say I'll do anything to play pro football. I'll do

1738
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 4: any And you have kids say that, but then when

1739
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 4: they get up there, they're like, well, I'll do anything,

1740
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 4: but I'm not covering kicks.

1741
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 2: That kind of thing.

1742
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, if then, Yeah, the more the college game has

1743
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 4: become like the pro game, and it is with open

1744
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 4: free agency every season even you do get a better

1745
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 4: handle on what makes that kid tick.

1746
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 2: And there are more people in his past who will

1747
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 2: know more about him that you can go to and call.

1748
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 3: I've also found teammates on your college team to be

1749
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 3: very helpful too, because I remember a lot of the

1750
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 3: dbs at the University of Georgia said, the best receiver

1751
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 3: on this team is lad McConkie because that guy can

1752
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 3: run routes and I don't need to. You don't need

1753
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 3: any more convincing than that.

1754
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 2: That's right. The guys who play against you.

1755
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 3: That's it for us today, Steve and I am back tomorrow.

1756
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 3: We'll see you one
