PETE Football is back the NFL
Pete Football is back. The NFL
kicked off its season on
Thursday, with the Kansas City
Chiefs, beating the Houston Texan
S, and tomorrow you can
watch six games on Fox starting
at kicking off at 100 p dot m
Eastern, starting with my
Minnesota Vikings
will. So what can fans expect
joining us now is NFL on Fox
reporter Jennifer Hail thanks
for being with us this morning.
So on Thursday night there was
a pretty got good energy. There
was fifteen thousand fans, or so in the
crowd in Kansas City.
You could hear them
how many stadiums, how many games
will be like that on Sunday,
with fans in the stands and
well be able to hear their
enthusiasm
well guys very few.
Unfortunately, most stadiums
still not having fans
the ones who are just a handful
and, of course, Kansas City, one
of the best atmospheres in the
league, but the Good NEWS is
fox- has gone to all sorts of
lengths, along with the NFL, to
try to make sure the viewing
experience at home on Sunday is
pretty seamless,
youre, not going to notice a ton
of difference, the way theyve
setup, the camera angles and
planned the entertainment,
its going to be great to have
football back, and although
theres going to be a few tweeks,
a few things that are different
for me personally, I wont be on
the field
ill, be in the first row of
stands. Instead,
I think most people are going to
not see a ton of difference at
home when theyre cheering on
their favorite teams, whether it
be the Vikings Packers or
whomever
PETE or some people cheering
for the Dallas cowboys. I dont
know who those are
Jennifer. What are you looking
for week? One no preseason. What
do you expect as far as the
quality of the game?
Anything different
in terms of the football?
That is the biggest question out
there:
no Preseason games truncated
training camps. I think its
really going to benefit the
veteran teams for teams that
have a lot of rookies a lot of
new additions. New head coaches
and man. You didnt have much
ramp up time, so I think we
might see teams settling in
especially that first quarter
some errors that you wouldnt
normally see during the regular
season that you usually get to
work out during the preseason,
but hey guys. I really think the
important thing is that
football is back and a sense of
normalcy and its going to be
very much like folks are used to
watching, and these teams are so
fired up.
I spent the last month on the
phone and on zooms with
everybody, and they cannot
wait to hit the field and play
they realize the importance of
this moment that goes beyond
just the win and loss column.
What it means for society
PETE. Absolutely.
I think a lot of people are
ready to watch
Jennifer Hale. Thank you. So much
for that well be watching you
on the side line in the stands,
but actually on the sideline,
its all a little different, but
a little relative.
I have your vikings and packers
so its going to be a good one
PETE. It is going to be a good
one for sure and well see how
Tom Brady does in week. One now.
