We got the NFL giving us their field 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: expert because why can't we keep these soccer fields? And 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: even in cold weather climates? Is there a better alternative 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: to the aster turf or that field turf? The turf now, 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: some of these places has little pieces of rubber ground up. 10 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: So you'll see guys when they get tackled or they 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: make a sharp cut and there'll be some you know, 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: debris that kind of pops up there that I think 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: is supposed to soften the fall. You know, when you 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: hit that turf, you just walk on that turf. If 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: you stand on the turf on the sidelines, your knees 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: and your hips and your ankles are aching. By three, Marvin, 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: you've done this. When you're on the sidelines and you 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: just stand there all game, you haven't really done much, 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 2: but just standing on that walking on that stuff, it'll 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: bang you up a little bit. 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 4: And on top of that, when you take off your shoes, 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 4: there's just the Hellet's just all in your socks and 24 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 4: in your sneakers the entire. 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: Game eight seven seven three DP show email address DP 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handling TP show say good morning. 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,279 Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: By the way, the action heating up final stages of 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: the Tour de Francs as they make their way through 30 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: the heart of Paris.

So I look at that as 38 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 7: overseeing essentially three pillars with the league, and that's one 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 7: kind of our game day compliance as it serves all 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 7: of our regular season games and playoffs. 41 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 6: Right. 42 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 7: That's at all of our club stadiums where I support 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 7: our club field managers. 44 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 6: Obviously. 45 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 7: Then there's the tent pole events, which is your international games. 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 7: As we know that continues to expand, Super Bowl, Pro Bowl, 47 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 7: the upcoming Hall of Fame Game, all those kind of 48 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 7: tent pole events, and the last pieces is the research, 49 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 7: the health and research understanding how we can improve our 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 7: standards and continue to improve our services. 51 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 5: How do you become the field director? How do you 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 5: become an expert? 53 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 7: I went to school to learn how to grow grass 54 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 7: at the University of Massachusetts, so have an agronomy degree, 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 7: and then started working for some different clubs, worked across MLB, MLS, NFL, 56 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 7: and I've been doing it over a decade now and 57 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 7: fortunate to have made a good. 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 6: Career out of it. 59 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: The University of Grass Adjusts, I think, is that we 60 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: should call it. 61 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 5: Okay, help me understand. 62 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: We've had these beautiful soccer fields, you know, the Metal Lands, 63 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: which historically has had some issues. I think with players 64 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: with that turf, why can't we keep that grass field 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: there at the Metal Ends? 66 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 6: Yeah? 67 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 7: I think that the questions bigger than why can't we 68 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 7: keep one field in one spot at any given time? Though, 69 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 7: it's it's how do we ensure that we developed fields 70 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 7: that are going to be right for our purpose, right 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 7: for the NFL, right what we saw in the World Cup. 72 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 7: Do and cheers to them and the team that put 73 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 7: things together to ensure that they had a solid tournament 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 7: was remarkable. 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 6: But we need to make. 76 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 7: Sure that we all understand here that that soccer and 77 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 7: football are not apples to apples, and there's a lot 78 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 7: of things to consider when ensuring a surface is right 79 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 7: for our NFL athletes. 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: Okay, but explain that why would a soccer field not 81 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: work with the NFL. 82 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, we've seen. 83 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 7: This before, right Dan, especially when we've traveled internationally, and 84 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 7: there's nothing that states that those surfaces for the World. 85 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 6: Cup wouldn't have worked. 86 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 7: It's just that we don't know that, but they absolutely 87 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 7: would have worked in the same setting, the same climate, 88 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 7: at the same time of year, the same. 89 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 6: Way that our buildings are used. 90 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 7: Obviously, as we saw a FIFA takeover exclusivity of these buildings, 91 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 7: that was their primary use on those surfaces was just 92 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 7: the soccer tournament, which is obviously why we're talking about 93 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 7: this now, right, So how do we look at that 94 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 7: from the NFL's perspective, it's could we have, especially when 95 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 7: you talk about MetLife, could we have one or two 96 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 7: NFL teams playing on that. Could they play in August 97 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 7: through January rather than obviously June and July when the 98 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 7: growing and the weather and the climate is different. Could 99 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 7: we understand how MetLife operates as a facility and still 100 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 7: make grass work. Those are things that really would have 101 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 7: to be looked at, and obviously a big conversation would 102 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 7: have to be had to determine is it possible. 103 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 5: The turf itself in some of these fields newer? 104 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, I go back to the old days with AstroTurf, 105 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: and that was you know, concrete with carput on it. 106 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: But the advances in technology, where are we now with 107 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: trying to make it as close to a friendly surface 108 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: for these players? 109 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're tenfold beyond where we started. When you look 110 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 7: at the old astro turfs, as AstroTurf kind of had 111 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 7: the original product, right, But when you look at it now, 112 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 7: these infilled three G style systems. 113 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 6: Have come so far. 114 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 7: But quite honestly, Dan, I think we're just cracking the surface. 115 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 7: No pun intended on some of this, right, Largely we've 116 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 7: left it to the industry, to the artificial turf industry to. 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 6: Come to us with products. 118 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 7: Well, the NFL and the NFLPA are the only group 119 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 7: that's really complaining about these artificial surfaces. We don't hear 120 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 7: a lot of it coming out of the Power four 121 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 7: conferences of NCAA. We certainly don't hear a lot of 122 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 7: it at the municipality or the high school level, But 123 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 7: we're the ones who are pushing the artificial turf industry saying, hey, we. 124 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 6: Want better, but what is better? 125 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 7: Right? 126 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 6: We've got to quantified better. How do we do that? 127 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 7: And to our benefit, we've got what is called our 128 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 7: Joint Field Surface Safety and Performance Committee. This is a 129 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 7: committee between the NFL NFLPA that's tied to the collective 130 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 7: barg agreement where we sit down regularly and discuss surface improvement, 131 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 7: and we're able to go back and apply pressure to 132 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 7: the industry to say, this is what we mean when 133 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 7: we say better. These are the target metrics. This is 134 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 7: how we're measuring fields. These are how we're objectifying what better? 135 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 7: Is that way we can start to actually see those changes. 136 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 2: I'm not sure where you stand on this excuse or 137 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: maybe reason, but you have owners who say, look, we 138 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 2: have multiple events on our field in our stadium, and 139 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: if we're having concerts there, you can't have natural grass. 140 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: Is that a legitimate reason to not have natural turf? 141 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 8: Yeah? 142 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 7: I think the way it's been evaluated. Obviously, when we 143 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 7: look across injury data, right, we no longer see this 144 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 7: as an injury issue. Right in the past, those concerns 145 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 7: that turf was driving. 146 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 6: Up the injury rate. 147 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 7: When we look at the injury rate and the severity 148 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 7: of injury, and what do I mean by that, I 149 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 7: mean the amount of acls, the amount of extended time 150 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 7: loss injuries, those real birds some injuries. When we look 151 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 7: at that, it's a split grass versus turf, right, So 152 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 7: it becomes just the injury rate of playing football At 153 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 7: this point. That's kind of been a part of the 154 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 7: decision making to say, well, if it's not going to 155 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 7: cause more injuries and it is just as safe, and 156 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 7: it does give those facilities the opportunity to make good 157 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 7: on whatever promises they have to the local communities or 158 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 7: whatever they've deemed the way that they need to operate 159 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 7: their building, then it's been a great option for them 160 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 7: to use because it does allow for higher use case, 161 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 7: avoidance of adverse weather conditions, so on and so forth. 162 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 6: Now does that mean that that won't change. 163 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 7: No, there's an opportunity to say, yeah, there's an injury perspective, 164 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 7: but how can we get it to feel more like 165 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 7: the players are asking us. 166 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: To make it feel Talking to Nick Pappus, he works 167 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: for the NFL as their field director, I'm gonna let 168 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: you pick the stadium where you can get tackled on. 169 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: What turf surface do you want to be tackled on? 170 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 7: If I'm getting tackled, I don't want to get tackled 171 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 7: by any of these any of these guys. 172 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 6: I've seen them all up close. 173 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 7: But for me, quite honestly, I know from and I'm 174 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 7: biased here. I know for mechanical testing, when you talk 175 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 7: about surface hardness, they're all within the same level of compliance. 176 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 7: All of our fields are within the same range. So 177 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 7: any given Sunday, Monday, whatever day of the week you 178 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 7: want to play, you can pick any field you want. 179 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 7: I've got confidence that the field managers there have ensured 180 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 7: that it meets compliance, and I don't think one's going 181 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 7: to be harder than the other. 182 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: So you have no soft landing spot that you would 183 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: say turf or natural grounds. 184 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 6: I think this is where. 185 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 7: There becomes some confusion about what we feel and what's 186 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 7: being described right. A number of years ago with the NFLPA, 187 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 7: we did a player survey and we actually went out 188 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 7: and asked players tell us which fields feel hard, which 189 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 7: fields feel soft? Right, And what they gave us in 190 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 7: a response was inverse to what our mechanical testing was 191 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 7: telling us. With that we redeveloped the tools that we 192 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 7: used to to measure the fields, and now we know 193 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 7: that what may feel quote unquote hard is actually more 194 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 7: of an amount of energy returned to the body. So 195 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 7: from a surface hardness perspective, they're all within the same compliance. 196 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 7: What we're now chasing is how do we get that 197 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 7: amount of energy lost to the surface or amount of 198 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 7: energy gained back to the surface to feel more like grass. 199 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 7: Obviously that's the target margin now unless for some reason 200 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 7: we can determine that there's an injury correlation to it. 201 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 7: But that's what we hear the players say they want 202 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 7: it to feel more like grass, So that's what we're chasing. 203 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 8: Now. 204 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: Do you have carpet in your office? I do, okay, 205 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: but non field turf. 206 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 7: I do not have any sort of artificial turface surface 207 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 7: in my office now. 208 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 5: Or you could have natural grass in there. 209 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 6: I could put some grass in here. I could call 210 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 6: it my local sod farm and put some grass in. 211 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 7: Here and they would be it would become more of 212 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 7: my full time job to maintain the surface within my 213 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 7: office than it is to be able to sit here 214 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 7: and speak to you on these matters. 215 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: So you had who is the Marquis de Sade, George Tombs. 216 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 7: George Tilma was the predecessor to myself and Ed Mangan 217 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 7: prior when they used to oversee the Super Bowl, So 218 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 7: slightly different role. 219 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: But yes, Sir, I was shocked when I went to 220 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: Lambeau many many years ago and they were painting grass 221 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: on the field. They were painting dirt green. What do 222 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: you make of that? 223 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 8: Nick? 224 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 6: Well, you know, I don't know how many many years 225 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 6: ago this was. 226 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,359 Speaker 5: But our you know, our standards laying. 227 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 6: Okay early in his career or lateness career, he had a. 228 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 5: Lot of his career late in his career. 229 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, our standards have come so far over 230 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 7: even the last just the last decade. And that's the 231 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 7: beauty of our Joint Surface Committee is the fact that 232 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 7: we sit in a room regularly from the top down 233 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 7: and talk about what are the things that matter, how 234 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 7: are how do we actually get better? How do we 235 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 7: define surface improvement? What are the things we need to 236 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 7: look out for? And player safeties at the top of 237 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 7: that that is always the north star, and then from 238 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 7: there it's determining how do we co fund and jointly 239 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 7: do research to determine what are the meaningful steps we 240 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 7: can take to making meaningful change. 241 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: Great stuff, Nick, Thank you and good luck with the job. 242 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: Congrats on all those degrees you got. What were the 243 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: degrees at ums? 244 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 7: I did an associate's degree in turf grass management through 245 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 7: their Stockbridge School of Agriculture, and then I did a Plant, 246 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,479 Speaker 7: Soil and Insects science's bachelor through the University of Massachusetts 247 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 7: and Amherst. 248 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 5: Do you judge lawns in your neighborhood? 249 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 6: Everyone's but my own. 250 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 7: I travel far too much and spend too much time 251 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 7: on the road, so I try to keep my job 252 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 7: quiet to my neighbors. 253 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 5: Otherwise I would be heavily thank you. 254 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 8: Nick. 255 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 5: We appreciate it. 256 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 6: Appreciate it.

Aything feels like, yeah, maybe if 259 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: you get tackled on grass and natural turf kind of 260 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: figured this thing out. 261 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, deal, that. 262 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 9: Sounds about as qualified as you can be for that job. 263 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 9: Just based on his major. 264 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 5: He could have made it up. I have no idea. 265 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 10: You know, yes, Paul, that's a really cool job. I 266 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 10: mean some people go to school for golf course management, 267 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 10: long cair type of stuff, but this is high level stuff. 268 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it feels like it's a thankless job because 269 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: somebody's going to be complaining about it. And this was 270 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: when FARV people thought he was going to retire. And 271 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: I went to Lambeau with my son and I went 272 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: down on the field and I was like, oh my god, 273 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: like this is Lambeau And they were painting the field 274 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 2: and they were playing Seattle and Matt Hasselbeck, I said, 275 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: and you get tackled on this? 276 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 5: He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. 277 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 10: Paulin remember the twenty seventeen Big Ten title game college 278 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 10: football and a piece of turf got pulled back. I 279 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 10: think it is OSU Wisconsin. A guy on national TV 280 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 10: had to run the field guy, the stadium guy had 281 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 10: to run on TV and patch it back together in 282 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 10: real time to get the game going on national TV. 283 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: I remember Super Bowl Bengals and the forty nine ers 284 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: in Miami. That field was horrendous. When RG three got 285 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: hurt when they were then the Redskins. That field was 286 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: that that was an embarrassment to high school football. 287 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, Dyl, Well, and like golf courses will paint the 288 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 9: grass too, like Augusta, I think before Masters week will 289 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 9: go and kind of touch up little. 290 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 11: You know. 291 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 9: Obviously the grass there is about as perfect. But you're 292 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 9: not falling on that, you can, you're trying to know. 293 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody's drunk at the Masters, who's playing? 294 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 9: Oh no, not playing? 295 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well they were painting the outside of the 296 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: green in Tahoe when we were out there. It's like, 297 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: all right, all right, I'm fine with that. Connor and Chicago, 298 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: Hi Connor, what do you have for me? 299 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 12: Hey? 300 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 11: But five nine and a hard ish one seventy five 301 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 11: hard So dude, we're talking turf man. Uh yeah, bottom 302 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 11: line it's uh, it's cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. Nobody likes 303 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 11: to spend the money working in the golf court industry. Man, 304 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 11: the system superintendent's probably like six years now. 305 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 5: Oh dude. 306 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 12: You can have grass basically. 307 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 11: Anywhere you want. It's just how much money do you 308 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 11: want to spend. It's all about the bottom line basically. 309 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I mean I don't think that surprises anybody, 310 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: But they are certain owners who aren't going to spend 311 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: that money, certain owners who will spend that money. 312 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I do. 313 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 9: I always think back to the uh, the Raiders playing 314 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 9: on a baseball diamond forever. I wonder what the injury 315 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 9: data on that would have been. 316 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 5: I don't know. 317 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: That was terrible at the Oakland Coliseum in the Oakland. 318 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: A's like it was just weird. When you're watching the 319 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: Raiders and you know, like there's a catch behind second base, 320 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: Dave Casper is gonna get a first down here. You 321 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: know you'd be like, oh that first base fine, Yeah, Dylan. 322 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 9: It looks so bad on TV too, like you literally right, 323 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 9: I don't. 324 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: Know, really bad in person.

Hi, Jeremy, what's on your mind? 619 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: Right? 620 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 9: Dan? 621 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 12: You know, looking at it for years of sitting back 622 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 12: there beside Fritzy Seaton looks rough today. But so I'm 623 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 12: just saying, I've listened to this conversation earlier that you 624 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 12: had with this with Nick, and what I compare it 625 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 12: to is the you know at the State of Alabama 626 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 12: doesn't have a lottery and the reason the state of 627 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 12: Alabama doesn't have a lottery is because there's certain officials 628 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 12: that get kickbacks from Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, so 629 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 12: that people from Alabama will drive to their states and 630 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 12: buy their lottery tickets. And I feel that's the same 631 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 12: way with Nick. He's got a lot you know, the 632 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 12: people paying him are the ones that don't want the turf. 633 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 12: So I heard a lot of political answers and a 634 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 12: lot of his answers today. Thanks Dan, and if I 635 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 12: don't ever get to call again, because it's so spacious 636 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 12: when I do, enjoyed the show and you have always 637 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 12: been the highlight. 638 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 11: Of my morning. 639 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 2: Dad, Thank you, Jeremy, thank you. Now, I thought Nick Pappas, 640 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 2: who is the field director for the NFL with turf 641 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: natural Grass, I thought he came off really well, gave 642 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: us a lot of information there. Do I think that 643 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: injuries aren't an issue anymore? Which Nick did say, No, 644 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: I still think they're an issue, yes, Daling. 645 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 9: I think one of his points though, was like there 646 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 9: hasn't been like a concrete correlation to turfer's grass and 647 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 9: like it equating to more injuries, like beyond maybe coincidence 648 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 9: even so I get where he was coming from. Where 649 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 9: He's like, there isn't anything quantifiable necessarily. 650 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: It feels like the meadow Lens is a bad turf. 651 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: Historically players have talked about it. There have been injuries 652 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: there that players will say is a direct result from 653 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: that turf. Veteran Stadium in Philadelphia that historically was one 654 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 2: of the worst turfs that I ever stood on, And 655 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: then players would talk about how hard it was. Guys 656 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 2: got hurt. Did Sterling Sharp get hurt in Philadelphia? 657 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 3: Marvin Michael Irving? 658 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 5: Michael Irvin did. Okay, Yeah, Paul, I. 659 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 10: Could see as a player the soft grass is appealing, 660 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 10: but the field turf has more consistency. You're unlikely have 661 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 10: a divot in that grass that could really jack up 662 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 10: your knee. 663 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's been natural turf grass you know what 664 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: you know RFK Stadium had was embarrassing.
