He's got a Jets lots down, can't. 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.480 You're listening to the Official New York Jets Podcast, a 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:27.000 Jets three sixty production. What's Up Everybody? Ethan Greenberg Eric 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.440 Allen back in studio for another edition of the Official 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.559 JEZZ Podcast. This is a very special week for us 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.159 because we have a guest that's long overdue. He's in 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.320 the building every day, or almost every day if he's 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.800 not in New York City being busy somewhere, President of 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.760 the New York Jets and Neil Glad. We will talk 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.360 to him later on the show. He sat down with him. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.880 First Thing's first d A team one and one now 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.880 after the home opener, very excited to play in Mattlife 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.000 Stadium for the first time since last season, and unfortunately 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.040 came away with a loss. You gotta put that near 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.320 rear view mirror almost immediately because this is a short week. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.120 I thought the effort was fine, and there were a 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.320 number of times when I really thought the Jets were 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.800 going to seize momentum away from Miami Dolphins. I know 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.000 that sounds crazy, because they were facing a twenty to 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.680 nothing deficit at halftime, but they came out took the 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.200 ball at the beginning of the third quarter at Sam 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.640 Donald let him right down the field and blah, Paul 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.480 puts on a nice move. I think it was twenty 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.720 eight yards out on that pitching catch and all of 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.399 a sudden it's six. The very next play from scrimmage, 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.440 Ryan Tannehill looks at Jordan Jenkins and said, whoa and 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.880 losing the ball in the process, and JJ is right there. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.920 You got the ball at the twelve yard line, and 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.280 you think in this place is ready to explode. It's 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.160 going to be twenty to thirteen and there are still 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:01.480 ten minutes left in the third quarter. Unfortunately, Sam Donald's 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.680 first path after the takeaway was intercepted by Xavien Howard 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.760 and it was a tough road from there. For me, 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.480 that was the turning point of the game is just 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.320 because like what you said, is the place was ready 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.960 to erupt, and uh, I think just on the Jordan 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.960 Jenkins plays, it was kind of reminiscent of the Thursday 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.680 Night Bill's game this year. Yeah, except kept the ball. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:33.120 Tyrone got destroyed. Yeah, I mean Jordan Jenkins sack Tyrod 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.919 and it was nearly a safety. You can't have fool 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.160 hid with the boot too many. Yeah, I know, I've 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.079 been very impressed with that. But we talked, You talked 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.840 about putting it in the rear view so that game 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.960 see it. We're moving ahead now because yeah, and I 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.239 would just want to say is that it's very difficult 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.919 in this leak to overcome twenty to nothing, defice it, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.480 and you gotta play complimentary football. And that's what the 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.040 Jets are going to have to return to Thursday night. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.519 So let's talk about Thursday night. For second. Here is 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.000 this is a Browns team that is oh one and 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.000 one and they tied against the Steelers in Week one, 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.040 probably should have won that game, could have at least 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.079 tied against the Saints. What was the final that game? 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.640 The Saints on eighteen and the Browns field goal kicker 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.520 at the times A Gonzalez, who, if you recall, I 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.160 believe missed at least one, if not two field goals 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:29.240 against the Jets last year in Cleveland, missed an extra point, 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.760 a game tying field goal to tie the game with 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.720 zero seconds left for making so then the lead against 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.880 New Orleans for most of y and they played that 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.280 game at the super Dome. You're looking at or you're 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.200 looking at a Browns team that easily could be two 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.040 and all. The thing for for them now, Greens is mentally, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.400 where are you at? Because that team didn't win a 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:57.800 ballgame last year? This is a dangerous opponent to your 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.600 point that they easily could be two in all, but 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.880 you know, the Jets gonna have to have a great 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.040 week of preparation and I get ready for a team 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.560 that frankly has a lot of playmakers. All right, well, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:14.040 just quickly here, if you're a Jets fan and you 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.520 know a little bit about the Browns, Let's say you 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.599 haven't watched Hard Knocks, so you know just the fact 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:24.839 that there one in thirty one in the past two seasons. 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.440 They're all one in one now. But you talked about 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.200 them being a dangerous team. Is who's one guy on 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.080 offense and one guy on defense that you're you're saying, Okay, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.200 I gotta watch out for those guys. If you're a 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.840 Jets fan, Jarvis Juice Landry, the former Miami Dolphin who 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.520 didn't play obviously Sunday because he's now in Cleveland East 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.039 tough as now you can run all the routes. He 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:53.359 is an energy guy. He's like a small que for 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.560 the Jets, you know. And I'm not saying that Noon 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.680 was ever put up the numbers that Jarvis has. By 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.039 the way, I think Quincy is gonna have a big 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.680 number season. Maybe we'll talk about that later because after 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.080 two weeks he's got like thirteen catches already. But I 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.080 digress Juice Landry and then on the opposite side of 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.200 the ball, Miles Garrett is an absolute freak. Yeah, I 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.640 was gonna say, on defense, you gotta pay attention to Garrett. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.720 He played his first NFL game last year against the 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.120 Jets and I'm pretty sure he had two sacks in 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.880 that game. But of Josh mcconnyeah, Yeah, this dude is 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.960 a freak. I mean, he's a monster. So it doesn't 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.040 get any easier after facing Robert Quinn and Cameron Wake 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.840 because this guy can bring it and the Browns, uh, 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.679 they're they're kind of dirty and a nasty way on defense, 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.920 and then it was just looking ahead here a little 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.000 bit is then you play in Jacksonville against the front 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.479 seven that maybe the best in the league. So it 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.400 gets no, it gets did you see any of that game, 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.600 I guess they pounded the Patriots. I didn't see any 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.800 of it. Which let's not overreact, every buddy. I'm not 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.839 a Patriots apologist, actually on the opposite. But we've seen 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.800 New England. We've seen New England before. I lose a 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.120 couple of games early. Okay, let's let's not say it's 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.000 the end uh for New England or anything like that. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.360 Just that just speaks to how good Jacksonville is. But 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.599 for the Jets, you cannot worry about the Jaguars at all. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.560 Otherwise you're gonna be one and two and then I 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.280 have to go to Jacksonville. For the Jets, it's put 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.880 Miami behind you, concentrating on the task at hand, get 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.400 back to playing complimentary football, take care of the ball, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:43.200 and get off the field when you can defensively, and 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.600 and scratch out a win because this is going, this 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:51.880 is going, no pun intended. Yeah, alright, real quick here 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.919 on the Brownes, you talked about Juice Landerie. For me, 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.000 on offense, it's Tyrod or Tyrod, however you want to 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.799 pronounce it, because only he tells people. It's Tyrod and Tarrod, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.400 So you can't go wrong there. But the Jets did 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.640 a very good job against Taylor when he was a 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.400 member of the Buffalo Bills last season, and I think 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.720 in order to have similar success, you have to be 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.880 on your p's and ques against Tyrod this week on 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.200 Thursday night. Because he's mobile, he doesn't turn the ball 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.240 over a lot. But what the Jets did last year 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.040 is they collapsed the pocket, meaning that the pocket just 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.000 shrunk and he had nowhere to go, so he had 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.520 to throw it. And that's how the Jets had success 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.120 last year. So I would look for that, and not 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.280 to mention, the Browns don't have Joe Thomas anymore, so 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.720 send the house and we'll see what happens. But now 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.440 we talked about it before Neil Glatt came in studio, 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.120 sat down with him. This is our talk with the 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.800 president of New York Jets. All right, this is a 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.480 very special time on the Official Jets Podcast. You know 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.240 e A and I are always here. Now we have 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.400 Neil Glatt, the president of the New York Jets, in 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.800 the studio. Thank you for coming, no, thanks for having me. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.320 It's great to be here. Well, you are a loyal listener. 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.480 It is overdue for us to have you on the podcast, Neil, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.240 You've a president of the Jets for more than six years. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.280 His time flown, but it does fly, It does fly. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.040 But it's great to be part of the Jets. It's 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.280 great to deal with Jet fans. They are terrific, they're loyal. 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.360 Uh And UH, every game is different, every season is different, 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.800 so no days are dull? What is for people that 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.959 don't know? As you started out in the league, so 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.760 what what was intriguing to you about going from a 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.719 league perspective to a team perspective? So I think at 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.480 the league you're dealing with a lot of league level 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.560 strategic issues that implicate all thirty two clubs. When you 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.000 come to UH, the Jets are come to an individual team. 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.199 You're all in. It's one team. It's all about winning 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.520 on the football field. I spend more of my time 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.000 thinking about how do we enhance the fan experience and 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.719 how do how do we do great things off the field. Uh, 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.439 And it's just being part of a small, nimble group. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.360 The league experience was terrific and fantastic and I wouldn't 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.120 trade it for anything. Those issues are big, broad issues 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:16.920 and you read about a lot of those in the 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.240 paper as well. As what you read about at the Jets. 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.040 But for me, it was the opportunity to be part 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.400 of the organization that Woody Johnson already built and hopefully 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.040 contribute in some way. How different is it for you 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.400 coming into work on a Tuesday morning after the Jets 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.800 beat the Detroit Lines on Monday night football, and now 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.280 on Monday morning after the Jets lose their home opener 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.719 to the Miami Dolphins, as opposed to just coming into 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.600 office at the league office. It Uh. You know, when 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.319 I was at the League office, people would always say, 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.880 don't call a club after a loss. Don't call him 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.040 that Monday and or that Tuesday. And you you knew 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.840 it kind of intellectually, but you didn't feel it the 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.120 same way that that that you do at a club. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.200 You didn't really understood it, and you can kind of 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.160 articulate it, but until you've lived through it, you don't know. Look, 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.439 we're we're we want to win. Everyone in the organization 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.720 is rowing in the same direction. Whether you're a player 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.199 or coach, or somebody in the front office or somebody 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.760 working on the business side. You're you're here to win. Uh, 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.560 this is what you come into the office to do. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:23.160 Every day and so the highs are really high. The lows, unfortunately, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.160 are are low. But also you have to be a 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.840 professional and really kind of by noon the after after 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.240 a win or loss, you kind of got to get 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.000 ready for the next one and get ready for the 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.600 next event at the stadium, get ready for the next game, 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.520 whatever it might be. It's like it's like the one 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.960 game or the one day rule that the players have. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.720 But it's the business side. On the business side, I 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.600 think to me, it's it's really by noon, Yeah, let's 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.000 let's let's let's let's go guys. And but you know, 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.200 part of it is that next day, Um, you're interacting 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.000 with fans. Fans are calling into the office, and so 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.200 you have to be prepared for for for a winner 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.120 or loss. Well, what's a day in the life like 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.320 for you, not you know outside of it in on 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.960 a Monday, just for fans that don't know you talked 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.000 about that you're thinking about ways to enhance the fan experience. Well, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.880 what what is the day in the life of Neil 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.600 Glad in the office? Life? Every day really is different. Um, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.520 we're in a business that there's a lot of uh 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.160 intensity to the business. Fans are incredibly engaged. So it 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.920 could be after a game. You could be dealing with 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.120 things that went well on game day, things that didn't 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:26.560 go well, how do we address it so by the 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.679 next game. If there was something that happened, uh at 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.840 the stadium that you want to improve upon. If there 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.080 was something on the scoreboard that a feature that worked, well, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.360 let's do more of it. If there was something that 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.319 we didn't think we got this the fan reaction want 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.720 peop well, let's let's let's think about it. So after 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.840 a game, there's always a lot of recaps and strategizing 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.760 and planning. Uh. It could be something that is in 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.280 the media. It could be something involving working with the 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.360 players on a community relations issue, so you really don't know. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.000 It could be a sponsor is looking to activate in 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.080 a different way. So the great thing is, uh, you know, 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.319 it keeps it extreme incredibly exciting. Is the variety. Um, 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.280 but it is a singular focus on a winning football game. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.400 So anyway that we focusing on the business, I can 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.640 help the football team and then obviously the fans, well 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.040 you you keep us on point. And I always tell 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.160 folks about this because when you have an opportunity to 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:26.960 meet Neil and maybe express concern or also express hope 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.160 or optimism or happiness with something that's going on. Neil 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.480 always relays things on two people within the organization. So 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.040 with that being said, if somebody comes up to you 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.319 and say, hey, you know, I saw something at the 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.120 stadium that didn't look right, you follow up immediately with 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.920 within whatever department you have to reach. You have that 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.360 personal interaction, and I think that's a great quality to 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.880 have because you don't let it go either. Anytime you 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.040 speak too fit you said, I've been this. I'm going 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.959 into my seventh season. I've been at the Jets over 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.440 six years. Uh. When I came in, it was impressive 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.040 how much people cared. And so if if you see 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.480 people who work for the Jets on game day or 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.880 at an event throughout the year and they hear something 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.240 from a fan or a business partner that's not working, well, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.760 they're not gonna say it's not my job. Uh. And 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.000 that and that starts with me. If there's something that 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:22.720 we can do better, we're going to try and do better. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.960 We will follow up on it. We have uh, you know, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.199 every three to six months, we'll have a fan of 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:32.199 what we call a fan advisory board will invite anywhere 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.840 from twenty to fifty fans. Usually we'll do it here 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.600 at the at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. Often 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.800 they'll have a chance they'll be an impromptu stop by 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.520 by by coach Bowls or or or by Mike mcagnet, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.200 so they get a little bit of of fun football stuff. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.360 But we're really it's serious business for us at that 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.760 fan advisory board. We really want their feedback on what's working, 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.480 what's not working. And you'll see, including me, everyone's taking 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.679 notes um because we certainly want to get their perspective 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.040 on what's working and what's not working and uh and 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.280 those conversations are critically important. And what they don't see 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.520 after that meeting is there will be a number of 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.920 follow up meetings where we're just going through it to 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.800 do list and a checklist based on what that fan. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.000 And speaking of that, you just came out of a 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.000 meeting where you guys did basically you're after action report 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.640 or what happened at the season opener? Yes, and we 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.560 do that after every game and can leave me do 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.160 it after every event. So when we finished training camp, 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.640 what worked well at training camp? What worked well? At 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.680 Green and White, and then what would you do differently 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.480 next year? Because the season is fast and furious, the 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.040 offseason fast and furious. So if you don't really take 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.800 that time when it's fresh in your mind on how 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.800 do we improve sometimes that gets lost in translation. Come 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.440 next year when you're ready to do it again. You 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.880 have such a before we jump topics here. I think 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.840 you have a really unique perspective now after six seasons 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.440 here and then fifteen at the least, So you're talking 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.960 about just kind of what goes on through your head 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.680 on our game days at MetLife Stadium. Well, I want 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.680 to know when you're on the road, are you looking 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.480 at what different stadiums and organizations due to potentially enhance 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.760 the fan experience? Like you talked about before, like how 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.400 how do you take in a game? Not at MetLife Stadium. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.400 It's exactly what you said. We are looking at what 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.080 they are doing, so what kind of music are they 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.120 playing before and during the game. We will look at 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.400 what their concession offerings are. We will look at their 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.480 prices to see how we compare to their prices. We 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.320 have a new initiative that we call our Bump fifty 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:32.440 fifty where fans can buy essentially raffle tickets and win 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.720 some jackpots. Well, the choit's done a great job of that, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.640 so we were out in Detroit. That was something we 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.280 kept our eye on. So for us, the great thing 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:43.360 is everyone competes in the NFL pretty intensively on the field, 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.960 but off the field, it's pretty collaborative organization, and so 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.040 clubs all want to get better. We want to get better. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.720 So if they're working on something, uh, we're gonna go 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.640 out there and ask a lot of questions and look around. Similarly, 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.080 we rolled that when we rolled out our rewards program 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.400 and our digital ticketing solutions for five years ago. Every 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.480 club that came in was asking us how it went. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.600 We gave them tours. Uh, and you know, we're happy 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.200 to help other clubs in the league similar to the 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.200 way they're helping us. All Right, so much to get 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.720 to because we got to talk about what's new on 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.600 game day at Motley Stadium. If you're our Jets fan, 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.600 are you gonna be attending Jets game this season? And 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.400 we want to talk about the new uniforms. But first 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.040 we gotta ask about Christopher Johnson. Whatdy Johnson of course, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.600 serving as the us and pastor of Great Britain in 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.000 Northern Ireland. What has Christopher been like? It's the CEO 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:40.200 and your interactions been like with him. For people on 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.280 the outside, they see Christopher and he's a likable sort, 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:49.160 but you have an intimate knowledge. It's his passion. I 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.720 think the fans have heard from him and seeing his 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.520 passion for football but also his passion for the fan experience. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.680 So Christopher's out in the parking lots a lot, similar 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.800 to our fan advisory board. He's talking to a constantly 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.800 and similar to us taking notes. When fans raise issues, 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.119 he will act upon it either directly or share that 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.159 with others in the organization and get us going on it. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.480 It's been a fairly smooth transition. Uh. You know, he's 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.040 a terrific person and you know first and foremost, but 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.200 as somebody to work for, he can have a conversation 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.600 with him, you can problem solve with him, and so, uh, 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.280 you know, nothing but kudos in price. He's on top 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:32.280 of a number of things organizationally, but also he's also 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:38.040 into the latest workouts and a sharp dresser. Christopher Johnson, 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.560 you gotta he gotta get a lot of He's got 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.359 a lot of passions um and in terms of a 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.560 lot of things we're doing with the players, in terms 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.560 of off the field issues, He's developed a great rapport 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.080 with the players and so we're working with them on 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.959 a number of social initiatives and other community initiatives, and 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.280 Chris's leadership in that area has been terrific. There was 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.080 a great photo last week of Christopher down on one 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.880 knee and Jamal Adams down on one knee and those 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.280 two just talking at PRAC. This is pretty cool. Actually, 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.159 before that, Christopher Johnson, as the team was stretching, he 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:16.119 was on one of the bikes always he was getting 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.840 to workout and while watching practice, he's putting pressure on 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:24.160 all of us exactly. Okay, so we've talked about game 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:25.960 day a little bit. Here is just to dive into 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.400 it is, if you're going to the Jets game this year, 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:36.720 what is new about the season? From the experienced standpoint? Summer, subtle, um, 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.879 but more dramatic. So a couple of years ago we 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.320 put out what we call pilot Vision, so we understand 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:43.879 that fans are coming out, they want to see the 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.960 action on the field, they want to see the highlights 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.240 and the replays of the game that's going on, but 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.760 we then have pilot vision. They also want stats. They 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.399 also want to see the out of town scores. They 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.399 also want to see the red zone from time to time. 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.160 So how we program that. We're always trying to think 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.159 what is the fan today? How do they want to 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.960 consume the game when they come out of the stadium. 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.800 But it's different. You have eighty thou people out there. 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.840 Some want to be on their smartphones a lot, others don't. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.240 Some grew up, you know, sitting in an upper deck 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.080 listening on a transistor radio. Others don't know what I'm 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.639 talking about when I mentioned a transistor radio. So you 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.760 try and strike that balance. And uh so a lot 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.240 of it is the scoreboard features. So those are those 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.359 are new and different this year. We're also doing, uh 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.920 some different things with music. Um so we announced probably 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.240 about a month ago we have a partnership with Deaf 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:36.000 Jam Recordings and they're great partners. So that's you said 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.760 mentioned the stadium. So the runout song uh was done 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.040 by some of their artists and so that's been a 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.800 lot of fun. We in fact had Marcus May and 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:50.600 Jamal Adams going to the studio with Jada kiss Um 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.719 and they were working on some some music opportunities together 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.199 and what we call our hype videos. So when we 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.560 get videos out on social media and Instagram and the 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.359 like on a Friday before a game, a lot of 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.080 that's going to involve def Jam Recordings and I'm in 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.399 the studio of Jets three sixty Productions, so a lot 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.399 of that's produced by by the excellent guys and women 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.080 in this organization who produced that content, including the two 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.680 of you. So that's that's gonna be a lot of fun. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.240 We also are having a kid today coming up on 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.920 October seven against the Broncos, and so we're gonna have 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.480 a lot of fun things for the kids, including w 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.680 w E and they bring some of their superstars out 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.679 and their terrific entertainers and there are a lot of 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.960 fun And we had the miss at our what we 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.239 call our upfront where we kind of introduced a lot 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.720 of our our new events and new activities, and these 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:42.680 guys just have a lot of fun and the kids 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.160 will have a lot of fun with them, and we'll 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.840 do some of that before the game and during the game. 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:51.960 The last one our game against the Vikings, we're doing 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:56.040 some things with Marble and so that's obviously an amazing 0:20:56.160 --> 0:21:00.000 entertainment company and we're thrilled to be working with them. 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.160 So the first number of people coming in the building 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.800 and get a bobblehead. Coincidentally, maybe not that coincidentally, we're 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.240 playing the Vikings, so it's kind of going to be 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.080 Holp versus four. So we're doing a little bit of that. 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.520 So we we spent a lot of time thinking about 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.240 we know what the action on the field is, what 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.520 people really care about, but anything we can do just 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.520
