What's Up Everybody? Ethan Greenberg Eric 5 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: Allen back in studio for another edition of the Official 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: JEZZ Podcast. This is a very special week for us 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: because we have a guest that's long overdue. He's in 8 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: the building every day, or almost every day if he's 9 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: not in New York City being busy somewhere, President of 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: the New York Jets and Neil Glad. We will talk 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: to him later on the show. He sat down with him. 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: First Thing's first d A team one and one now 13 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: after the home opener, very excited to play in Mattlife 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: Stadium for the first time since last season, and unfortunately 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: came away with a loss. You gotta put that near 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: rear view mirror almost immediately because this is a short week. 17 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I thought the effort was fine, and there were a 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: number of times when I really thought the Jets were 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: going to seize momentum away from Miami Dolphins. I know 20 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: that sounds crazy, because they were facing a twenty to 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: nothing deficit at halftime, but they came out took the 22 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: ball at the beginning of the third quarter at Sam 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Donald let him right down the field and blah, Paul 24 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: puts on a nice move. I think it was twenty 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: eight yards out on that pitching catch and all of 26 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: a sudden it's six. The very next play from scrimmage, 27 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill looks at Jordan Jenkins and said, whoa and 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: losing the ball in the process, and JJ is right there. 29 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: You got the ball at the twelve yard line, and 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: you think in this place is ready to explode. It's 31 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: going to be twenty to thirteen and there are still 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: ten minutes left in the third quarter. Unfortunately, Sam Donald's 33 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: first path after the takeaway was intercepted by Xavien Howard 34 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: and it was a tough road from there. For me, 35 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: that was the turning point of the game is just 36 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: because like what you said, is the place was ready 37 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: to erupt, and uh, I think just on the Jordan 38 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: Jenkins plays, it was kind of reminiscent of the Thursday 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Night Bill's game this year. Yeah, except kept the ball. 40 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: Tyrone got destroyed. Yeah, I mean Jordan Jenkins sack Tyrod 41 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: and it was nearly a safety. You can't have fool 42 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: hid with the boot too many. Yeah, I know, I've 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: been very impressed with that. But we talked, You talked 44 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: about putting it in the rear view so that game 45 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: see it. We're moving ahead now because yeah, and I 46 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: would just want to say is that it's very difficult 47 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: in this leak to overcome twenty to nothing, defice it, 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and you gotta play complimentary football. And that's what the 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: Jets are going to have to return to Thursday night. 50 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: So let's talk about Thursday night. For second. Here is 51 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: this is a Browns team that is oh one and 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: one and they tied against the Steelers in Week one, 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: probably should have won that game, could have at least 54 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: tied against the Saints. What was the final that game? 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: The Saints on eighteen and the Browns field goal kicker 56 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: at the times A Gonzalez, who, if you recall, I 57 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: believe missed at least one, if not two field goals 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: against the Jets last year in Cleveland, missed an extra point, 59 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: a game tying field goal to tie the game with 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: zero seconds left for making so then the lead against 61 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: New Orleans for most of y and they played that 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: game at the super Dome. You're looking at or you're 63 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: looking at a Browns team that easily could be two 64 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: and all. The thing for for them now, Greens is mentally, 65 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: where are you at? Because that team didn't win a 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: ballgame last year? This is a dangerous opponent to your 67 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: point that they easily could be two in all, but 68 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, the Jets gonna have to have a great 69 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: week of preparation and I get ready for a team 70 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: that frankly has a lot of playmakers. All right, well, 71 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: just quickly here, if you're a Jets fan and you 72 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: know a little bit about the Browns, Let's say you 73 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: haven't watched Hard Knocks, so you know just the fact 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: that there one in thirty one in the past two seasons. 75 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: They're all one in one now. But you talked about 76 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: them being a dangerous team. Is who's one guy on 77 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: offense and one guy on defense that you're you're saying, Okay, 78 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: I gotta watch out for those guys. If you're a 79 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: Jets fan, Jarvis Juice Landry, the former Miami Dolphin who 80 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: didn't play obviously Sunday because he's now in Cleveland East 81 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: tough as now you can run all the routes. He 82 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: is an energy guy. He's like a small que for 83 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: the Jets, you know. And I'm not saying that Noon 84 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: was ever put up the numbers that Jarvis has. By 85 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: the way, I think Quincy is gonna have a big 86 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: number season. Maybe we'll talk about that later because after 87 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: two weeks he's got like thirteen catches already. But I 88 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: digress Juice Landry and then on the opposite side of 89 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: the ball, Miles Garrett is an absolute freak. Yeah, I 90 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: was gonna say, on defense, you gotta pay attention to Garrett. 91 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: He played his first NFL game last year against the 92 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: Jets and I'm pretty sure he had two sacks in 93 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: that game. But of Josh mcconnyeah, Yeah, this dude is 94 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: a freak. I mean, he's a monster. So it doesn't 95 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: get any easier after facing Robert Quinn and Cameron Wake 96 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: because this guy can bring it and the Browns, uh, 97 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: they're they're kind of dirty and a nasty way on defense, 98 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: and then it was just looking ahead here a little 99 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: bit is then you play in Jacksonville against the front 100 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: seven that maybe the best in the league. So it 101 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: gets no, it gets did you see any of that game, 102 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: I guess they pounded the Patriots. I didn't see any 103 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: of it. Which let's not overreact, every buddy. I'm not 104 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: a Patriots apologist, actually on the opposite. But we've seen 105 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: New England. We've seen New England before. I lose a 106 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: couple of games early. Okay, let's let's not say it's 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: the end uh for New England or anything like that. 108 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: Just that just speaks to how good Jacksonville is. But 109 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: for the Jets, you cannot worry about the Jaguars at all. 110 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Otherwise you're gonna be one and two and then I 111 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: have to go to Jacksonville. For the Jets, it's put 112 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: Miami behind you, concentrating on the task at hand, get 113 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: back to playing complimentary football, take care of the ball, 114 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: and get off the field when you can defensively, and 115 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: and scratch out a win because this is going, this 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: is going, no pun intended. Yeah, alright, real quick here 117 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: on the Brownes, you talked about Juice Landerie. For me, 118 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: on offense, it's Tyrod or Tyrod, however you want to 119 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: pronounce it, because only he tells people. It's Tyrod and Tarrod, 120 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: So you can't go wrong there. But the Jets did 121 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: a very good job against Taylor when he was a 122 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: member of the Buffalo Bills last season, and I think 123 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: in order to have similar success, you have to be 124 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: on your p's and ques against Tyrod this week on 125 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Thursday night. Because he's mobile, he doesn't turn the ball 126 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: over a lot. But what the Jets did last year 127 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: is they collapsed the pocket, meaning that the pocket just 128 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: shrunk and he had nowhere to go, so he had 129 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: to throw it. And that's how the Jets had success 130 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: last year. So I would look for that, and not 131 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: to mention, the Browns don't have Joe Thomas anymore, so 132 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: send the house and we'll see what happens. But now 133 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: we talked about it before Neil Glatt came in studio, 134 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: sat down with him. This is our talk with the 135 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: president of New York Jets. All right, this is a 136 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: very special time on the Official Jets Podcast. You know 137 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: e A and I are always here. Now we have 138 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: Neil Glatt, the president of the New York Jets, in 139 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: the studio. Thank you for coming, no, thanks for having me. 140 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: It's great to be here. Well, you are a loyal listener. 141 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: It is overdue for us to have you on the podcast, Neil, 142 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: You've a president of the Jets for more than six years. 143 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: His time flown, but it does fly, It does fly. 144 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: But it's great to be part of the Jets. It's 145 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: great to deal with Jet fans. They are terrific, they're loyal. 146 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Uh And UH, every game is different, every season is different, 147 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: so no days are dull? What is for people that 148 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: don't know? As you started out in the league, so 149 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: what what was intriguing to you about going from a 150 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: league perspective to a team perspective? So I think at 151 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: the league you're dealing with a lot of league level 152 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: strategic issues that implicate all thirty two clubs. When you 153 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: come to UH, the Jets are come to an individual team. 154 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: You're all in. It's one team. It's all about winning 155 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: on the football field. I spend more of my time 156 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: thinking about how do we enhance the fan experience and 157 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: how do how do we do great things off the field. Uh, 158 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: And it's just being part of a small, nimble group. 159 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: The league experience was terrific and fantastic and I wouldn't 160 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: trade it for anything. Those issues are big, broad issues 161 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: and you read about a lot of those in the 162 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: paper as well. As what you read about at the Jets. 163 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: But for me, it was the opportunity to be part 164 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: of the organization that Woody Johnson already built and hopefully 165 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: contribute in some way. How different is it for you 166 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: coming into work on a Tuesday morning after the Jets 167 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: beat the Detroit Lines on Monday night football, and now 168 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: on Monday morning after the Jets lose their home opener 169 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins, as opposed to just coming into 170 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: office at the league office. It Uh. You know, when 171 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: I was at the League office, people would always say, 172 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: don't call a club after a loss. Don't call him 173 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: that Monday and or that Tuesday. And you you knew 174 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: it kind of intellectually, but you didn't feel it the 175 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: same way that that that you do at a club. 176 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: You didn't really understood it, and you can kind of 177 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: articulate it, but until you've lived through it, you don't know. Look, 178 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: we're we're we want to win. Everyone in the organization 179 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: is rowing in the same direction. Whether you're a player 180 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: or coach, or somebody in the front office or somebody 181 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: working on the business side. You're you're here to win. Uh, 182 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: this is what you come into the office to do. 183 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: Every day and so the highs are really high. The lows, unfortunately, 184 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: are are low. But also you have to be a 185 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: professional and really kind of by noon the after after 186 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: a win or loss, you kind of got to get 187 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: ready for the next one and get ready for the 188 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: next event at the stadium, get ready for the next game, 189 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. It's like it's like the one 190 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: game or the one day rule that the players have. 191 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: But it's the business side. On the business side, I 192 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: think to me, it's it's really by noon, Yeah, let's 193 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's go guys. And but you know, 194 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: part of it is that next day, Um, you're interacting 195 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: with fans. Fans are calling into the office, and so 196 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: you have to be prepared for for for a winner 197 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: or loss. Well, what's a day in the life like 198 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: for you, not you know outside of it in on 199 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: a Monday, just for fans that don't know you talked 200 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: about that you're thinking about ways to enhance the fan experience. Well, 201 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: what what is the day in the life of Neil 202 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: Glad in the office? Life? Every day really is different. Um, 203 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: we're in a business that there's a lot of uh 204 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: intensity to the business. Fans are incredibly engaged. So it 205 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: could be after a game. You could be dealing with 206 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: things that went well on game day, things that didn't 207 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: go well, how do we address it so by the 208 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: next game. If there was something that happened, uh at 209 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: the stadium that you want to improve upon. If there 210 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: was something on the scoreboard that a feature that worked, well, 211 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: let's do more of it. If there was something that 212 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: we didn't think we got this the fan reaction want 213 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: peop well, let's let's let's think about it. So after 214 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: a game, there's always a lot of recaps and strategizing 215 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: and planning. Uh. It could be something that is in 216 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: the media. It could be something involving working with the 217 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: players on a community relations issue, so you really don't know. 218 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: It could be a sponsor is looking to activate in 219 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: a different way. So the great thing is, uh, you know, 220 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: it keeps it extreme incredibly exciting. Is the variety. Um, 221 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: but it is a singular focus on a winning football game. 222 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: So anyway that we focusing on the business, I can 223 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: help the football team and then obviously the fans, well 224 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: you you keep us on point. And I always tell 225 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: folks about this because when you have an opportunity to 226 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: meet Neil and maybe express concern or also express hope 227 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: or optimism or happiness with something that's going on. Neil 228 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: always relays things on two people within the organization. So 229 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: with that being said, if somebody comes up to you 230 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, I saw something at the 231 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: stadium that didn't look right, you follow up immediately with 232 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: within whatever department you have to reach. You have that 233 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: personal interaction, and I think that's a great quality to 234 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: have because you don't let it go either. Anytime you 235 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: speak too fit you said, I've been this. I'm going 236 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: into my seventh season. I've been at the Jets over 237 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: six years. Uh. When I came in, it was impressive 238 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: how much people cared. And so if if you see 239 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: people who work for the Jets on game day or 240 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: at an event throughout the year and they hear something 241 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: from a fan or a business partner that's not working, well, 242 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: they're not gonna say it's not my job. Uh. And 243 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: that and that starts with me. If there's something that 244 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: we can do better, we're going to try and do better. 245 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: We will follow up on it. We have uh, you know, 246 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: every three to six months, we'll have a fan of 247 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: what we call a fan advisory board will invite anywhere 248 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: from twenty to fifty fans. Usually we'll do it here 249 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: at the at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. Often 250 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: they'll have a chance they'll be an impromptu stop by 251 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: by by coach Bowls or or or by Mike mcagnet, 252 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: so they get a little bit of of fun football stuff. 253 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: But we're really it's serious business for us at that 254 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: fan advisory board. We really want their feedback on what's working, 255 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: what's not working. And you'll see, including me, everyone's taking 256 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: notes um because we certainly want to get their perspective 257 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: on what's working and what's not working and uh and 258 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: those conversations are critically important. And what they don't see 259 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: after that meeting is there will be a number of 260 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: follow up meetings where we're just going through it to 261 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: do list and a checklist based on what that fan. 262 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: And speaking of that, you just came out of a 263 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: meeting where you guys did basically you're after action report 264 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: or what happened at the season opener? Yes, and we 265 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: do that after every game and can leave me do 266 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: it after every event. So when we finished training camp, 267 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: what worked well at training camp? What worked well? At 268 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: Green and White, and then what would you do differently 269 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: next year? Because the season is fast and furious, the 270 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: offseason fast and furious. So if you don't really take 271 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: that time when it's fresh in your mind on how 272 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: do we improve sometimes that gets lost in translation. Come 273 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: next year when you're ready to do it again. You 274 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: have such a before we jump topics here. I think 275 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: you have a really unique perspective now after six seasons 276 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: here and then fifteen at the least, So you're talking 277 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: about just kind of what goes on through your head 278 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: on our game days at MetLife Stadium. Well, I want 279 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: to know when you're on the road, are you looking 280 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: at what different stadiums and organizations due to potentially enhance 281 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: the fan experience? Like you talked about before, like how 282 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: how do you take in a game? Not at MetLife Stadium. 283 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: It's exactly what you said. We are looking at what 284 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: they are doing, so what kind of music are they 285 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: playing before and during the game. We will look at 286 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: what their concession offerings are. We will look at their 287 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: prices to see how we compare to their prices. We 288 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: have a new initiative that we call our Bump fifty 289 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: fifty where fans can buy essentially raffle tickets and win 290 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: some jackpots. Well, the choit's done a great job of that, 291 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: so we were out in Detroit. That was something we 292 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: kept our eye on. So for us, the great thing 293 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: is everyone competes in the NFL pretty intensively on the field, 294 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: but off the field, it's pretty collaborative organization, and so 295 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: clubs all want to get better. We want to get better. 296 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: So if they're working on something, uh, we're gonna go 297 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: out there and ask a lot of questions and look around. Similarly, 298 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: we rolled that when we rolled out our rewards program 299 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: and our digital ticketing solutions for five years ago. Every 300 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: club that came in was asking us how it went. 301 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: We gave them tours. Uh, and you know, we're happy 302 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: to help other clubs in the league similar to the 303 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: way they're helping us. All Right, so much to get 304 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: to because we got to talk about what's new on 305 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: game day at Motley Stadium. If you're our Jets fan, 306 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: are you gonna be attending Jets game this season? And 307 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: we want to talk about the new uniforms. But first 308 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: we gotta ask about Christopher Johnson. Whatdy Johnson of course, 309 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: serving as the us and pastor of Great Britain in 310 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: Northern Ireland. What has Christopher been like? It's the CEO 311 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: and your interactions been like with him. For people on 312 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: the outside, they see Christopher and he's a likable sort, 313 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: but you have an intimate knowledge. It's his passion. I 314 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: think the fans have heard from him and seeing his 315 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: passion for football but also his passion for the fan experience. 316 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: So Christopher's out in the parking lots a lot, similar 317 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: to our fan advisory board. He's talking to a constantly 318 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: and similar to us taking notes. When fans raise issues, 319 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: he will act upon it either directly or share that 320 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: with others in the organization and get us going on it. 321 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: It's been a fairly smooth transition. Uh. You know, he's 322 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: a terrific person and you know first and foremost, but 323 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: as somebody to work for, he can have a conversation 324 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: with him, you can problem solve with him, and so, uh, 325 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, nothing but kudos in price. He's on top 326 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: of a number of things organizationally, but also he's also 327 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: into the latest workouts and a sharp dresser. Christopher Johnson, 328 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: you gotta he gotta get a lot of He's got 329 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: a lot of passions um and in terms of a 330 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: lot of things we're doing with the players, in terms 331 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: of off the field issues, He's developed a great rapport 332 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: with the players and so we're working with them on 333 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: a number of social initiatives and other community initiatives, and 334 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: Chris's leadership in that area has been terrific. There was 335 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: a great photo last week of Christopher down on one 336 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: knee and Jamal Adams down on one knee and those 337 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: two just talking at PRAC. This is pretty cool. Actually, 338 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: before that, Christopher Johnson, as the team was stretching, he 339 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: was on one of the bikes always he was getting 340 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: to workout and while watching practice, he's putting pressure on 341 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: all of us exactly. Okay, so we've talked about game 342 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: day a little bit. Here is just to dive into 343 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: it is, if you're going to the Jets game this year, 344 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: what is new about the season? From the experienced standpoint? Summer, subtle, um, 345 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: but more dramatic. So a couple of years ago we 346 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: put out what we call pilot Vision, so we understand 347 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: that fans are coming out, they want to see the 348 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: action on the field, they want to see the highlights 349 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: and the replays of the game that's going on, but 350 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: we then have pilot vision. They also want stats. They 351 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: also want to see the out of town scores. They 352 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: also want to see the red zone from time to time. 353 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: So how we program that. We're always trying to think 354 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: what is the fan today? How do they want to 355 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: consume the game when they come out of the stadium. 356 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: But it's different. You have eighty thou people out there. 357 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: Some want to be on their smartphones a lot, others don't. 358 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: Some grew up, you know, sitting in an upper deck 359 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: listening on a transistor radio. Others don't know what I'm 360 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: talking about when I mentioned a transistor radio. So you 361 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: try and strike that balance. And uh so a lot 362 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: of it is the scoreboard features. So those are those 363 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: are new and different this year. We're also doing, uh 364 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: some different things with music. Um so we announced probably 365 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: about a month ago we have a partnership with Deaf 366 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: Jam Recordings and they're great partners. So that's you said 367 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: mentioned the stadium. So the runout song uh was done 368 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: by some of their artists and so that's been a 369 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: lot of fun. We in fact had Marcus May and 370 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams going to the studio with Jada kiss Um 371 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: and they were working on some some music opportunities together 372 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: and what we call our hype videos. So when we 373 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: get videos out on social media and Instagram and the 374 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: like on a Friday before a game, a lot of 375 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: that's going to involve def Jam Recordings and I'm in 376 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: the studio of Jets three sixty Productions, so a lot 377 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: of that's produced by by the excellent guys and women 378 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: in this organization who produced that content, including the two 379 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: of you.

Coincidentally, maybe not that coincidentally, we're 396 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: playing the Vikings, so it's kind of going to be 397 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: Holp versus four. So we're doing a little bit of that. 398 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: So we we spent a lot of time thinking about 399 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: we know what the action on the field is, what 400 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: people really care about, but anything we can do just 401 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: have a little bit more fun when you come out. 402 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: We we know people investing a lot of their time, 403 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: so we try and get creative and some of that 404 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: we do on our own, and some of that is 405 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: doing with some of the great partners that I just mentioned. 406 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: There are a ton of exciting um game day themes 407 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: before the Jets throughout the two thousand and eighteen season. 408 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: What is the genesis of the new uniforms? Everybody's asking 409 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: the genesis uniform? Why like the hottest button it when 410 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: we have the man himself, It starts with us and 411 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: his vision for wanting to do something different with the 412 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: uniform and so, uh, you know, he put together a 413 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: working group internally, but working closely with people at the 414 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: league who have worked through a number of uniform changes 415 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: over the past x years. And so this is years 416 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: in the making. This is years in the making, and 417 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: also working with Nike and they do terrific work. And uh, 418 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: it's a real iterative process. I mean it's been it 419 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: really has been years in the making, and it's looking 420 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: at everything for all kinds of different designs, all different 421 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: kind of logos and other things that might go on 422 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: the uniform and uniform changes are subjective. Uh. Ownership loved it. Um. 423 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: Some of the people on the you know, on the 424 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: football side who have seen it love it. And but 425 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: hopefully the fans will love it. And so it'll probably 426 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: be officially launched in March, um, and we're gonna try 427 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: and make a little bit of hoopla out of that. Um. Uh. 428 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: Again it's subjective, so just one man's opinion, but that 429 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: I think the fans will like it. I do think 430 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna see the Jets go through basically all their 431 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: uniform combinations here in two thousand and eighteen, because you've 432 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: already seen the all white with the white face masks 433 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: against the Detroit lines, you're going all white against lets 434 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: we know that we got the I thin it's the 435 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: great Dapes mask. Also for the cold scam. Yeah yeah. 436 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: And we had the green out, like we mentioned against 437 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, the traditional green and white against the 438 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins for the home opener. I know we'll see 439 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: the green pants and the green out's gonna have the 440 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: color Rush uniforms. So then the one that we originally 441 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: was rolled out on Thursday nights that pop I think 442 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: would we played against the Bills a couple of times 443 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: with that. Um, those decisions, you know, are really made 444 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: by coach. Interestingly Coach, you know, I think he's always 445 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: trying to anticipate what's what's the best kind of He's 446 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: got his little private label down there. He's got the heads. 447 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes I see coach on that's we gotta get that, 448 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, we got we gotta get that to fans, 449 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: we gotta get that to other people the building. He 450 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: has some great stuff. He's watching the press conferences and 451 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: he you know, he always comes up to me. He says, Yep, 452 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: coach got a new label today. Yea, yeah, people are 453 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: asking me about we respect his style? Yeah, like it 454 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: and so I think I think he'll have I think 455 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: he'll have a lot of fun with the new uniform. Also, 456 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: we gotta go off, Yeah, we gotta go off the field. 457 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: And we know you're big into movies, into TV shows. 458 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: So for fans that don't know, one, what is your 459 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: favorite all time TV show and movie?

Yeah, but he's got a lot 499 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: of the HBO sports stuff and when you hear his voice, 500 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: it's one of those great voices. It is. So what 501 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: were you about that? Yeah? What what do you guys?

Kind of gets in 504 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: the busy season. I think I've told you about this before. 505 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: Is peeky Blinders Netflix a big peaky I'm just fan 506 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: that your culture. It's like ninth turn of the century British, 507 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, none of this pretty Los Angeles. He's like 508 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: our Sam Donald here. He's an old soul, right. I 509 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: hear great things about that. I'm all in on Peaky Blinders. Um. 510 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: I watched in college The Sopranos and I like that 511 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: a lot. Believe it or not, I have not done 512 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: the entire Sopranos. I've kind of probably seen a season 513 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: and a half. Of people have said to me, I 514 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: wish I could replicate watching it again when you get 515 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: the chance to watch it. So I'm looking for I 516 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: asked him about the ending when he started to mentioned, 517 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: but we'll have to I did see the last episode. 518 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: What was your thought? So I just saw the diner scene, 519 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't I didn't know enough. I 520 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: didn't have the same investment yet because I didn't commit 521 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: the number of years to the show yet. Neil, let's 522 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: bring a full circle come back to the Jets here. 523 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: You talked about it. It's all about what happens on 524 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: the field, and we're trying to enhance that. Um deal 525 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: like what you're seeing as far as this team coming together, 526 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: having some young pieces, drafting a quarterbacks performed well early 527 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: on in his career and Sam Donald and you know 528 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: you're set up salary cap wise. I believe Mike has 529 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: said it. You get the most cap broom, so you 530 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: got the financial flexibility following this season, we think about 531 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: some young pieces on defense, whether that be Jamal Adams 532 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: or Leonard Williams or Darren Lee. An offensively, Quincy and 533 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: Noon went back and yeah, do you like what you're 534 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: seeing out of this team and the way, uh it's 535 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: set up for the future. I'm always an optimist, Um, 536 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: but absolutely, Um, you know, you saw some of that 537 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: potential on Monday night and uh, you know he certainly 538 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of turnovers and and and and got 539 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, some breaks, but it was outstand ending. Um. 540 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: And you see, uh, when that team can play and 541 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: the talent that they have. And to your point, Um, 542 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: the coaches are only making guys better. And uh, we 543 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: have a little bit more cap room this year. If 544 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: it's not spent this year, then it rolls over to 545 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: next year. And then then Mike and his team sitting 546 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: down with coach bowls, can prioritize how do they continue 547 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: to upgrade the roster. So, um, you know, I'm looking 548 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: forward to an exciting season and and the fans that 549 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: we've spoken to, uh, you know, similarly share that sentiment. Yeah, 550 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: I'd agree with that. So three games in eleven days 551 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's Thursday Night, another time for the team to 552 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: be playing in front of the nation, So a good 553 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: opportunity here. And then ten days are prepared for the 554 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, a short week, so I know that's tough 555 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: on the guys and uh, and then hopefully we come 556 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: out victorious, and then they kind of get that many 557 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: buy and some guys who are dealing with some you know, 558 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: injuries and other things hopefully get healthy. And then you 559 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: go down to Jacksonville and then you get that three 560 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: game homestand which is very unique in the national four 561 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: three games in October one o'clock games. And we're expecting 562 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: great crowds for that. And as you told me to 563 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: what should I tell the fans is, you know, we're 564 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: looking to do some great things. So hopefully we'll see 565 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: as many people who are listening to this podcast out 566 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: of the stadium as possible. This was a thank you guys. 567 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: We talked about movies with Neil. He talked about The 568 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: Sopranos ending have you seen the end? Yeah? Okay, Well 569 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: for so what happens? Well, what what's your take on it? 570 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I think he lives. I think that the whole idea 571 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: is that you're supposed to feel like you're always watching 572 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: behind you, looking around, like who who's gonna like it's 573 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: this guy gonna off me? Is this guy coming from 574 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: my head? But I think that in the end, because 575 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: of what had transpired in the episodes earlier and who 576 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: had died and who was no longer there around. I 577 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: think that means that he isn't the clear. He's always 578 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: watching his back. Okay, So if you're my thing is, 579 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: if you're the director or creator of the show, is 580 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: the thought process to obviously it's the number one is 581 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: to leave you hanging. But for them, what I would 582 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: like to know is that do is that their only goal? 583 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: Or did they have something in mind whereas they in 584 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: their mind had him killed or the family was taken 585 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: care of, or to your point, he's just going through 586 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: this process of taking a look who's coming through the door, 587 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: and there's a strange man there and all that other stuff. 588 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,479 Speaker 1: So I don't know how that all works. Okay, So 589 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: just just tying things up here is I know that 590 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: we mentioned Juice Tyrod and Miles Garrett, but the Browns 591 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: also have some other weapons on offense. Who you want 592 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: to talk about? Do I? I don't know, carlos On. 593 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: I thought you wanted to talk about Najoku I did. Yeah, 594 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: Kellaway is an interesting rookie who had some issues off 595 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: the field at Florida and yes on hard knocks and 596 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: we all witnessed that for those of the folks at 597 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: home and watch hard knocks like us. But yeah, na 598 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: Joko is he is a dangerous tight end and kellaway. 599 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: If he stays on the straight and narrow path, he 600 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: could be a big time weapon in the National Football League. 601 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: Carlos High came over from San Francisco in free agency 602 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: and then another guy Defensively, they surprise a lot of 603 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: people not going with the pass rusher to pair him 604 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: up with Garrett there, you could have went with Bradley Chubb. 605 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: And they pulled the string on Den's award and everybody's like, oh, 606 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: Den's award. But came in Week one. Two interceptions of 607 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlis not a bad start, right, Ye had two 608 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: picks in his collegiate career, so I immediately tied that 609 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: in Game one. The other thing is, and you know, 610 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: this is going to be like a super Bowl the 611 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: Thursday night in Cleveland. And I don't say that out 612 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: of disrespect. My meaning here is that this city loves 613 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: or football team. They haven't tasted victory in so long, 614 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: and also the National spot night will be on them, 615 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: so they are going to come ready to play in 616 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: that atmosphere, and that it's gonna be election. Well, what 617 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: I will say is though no offense, no, no. But 618 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: what I will say is being in the locker room 619 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: after Sunday's game, the Jets locker room, is that you 620 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: could tell how upset the players were, how upset the 621 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: Jets players were. So I think moving forward, I think 622 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: this team is gonna be ready to play, although it 623 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: will be a dog fight, like you said, And just 624 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: another guy on defense is probably that a Pro Bowl 625 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: linebacker last year that nobody talks about. That's Joe Schobert 626 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: and Christian Curtsey led the NFL and tackles a couple 627 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: of years ago. Oh yeah, they're linebackers move all over 628 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: the place. So I think it's this is not your 629 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: your brown's evol. This is this is a tough game 630 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: and it's a short week. And if you're I don't 631 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: know where to tune in, I'll tell you right now 632 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: because it's on NFL Networks. There's not a football a 633 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: Jets brown And that's all we have this week on 634 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 1: The Officials Gets podcast. We're out
