Let's go to LA, and
0:17
we've been following along with Jared's trip
0:20
with amazement on social media. He's been
0:22
good enough to join us this morning. Jared, where do we
0:24
find Jared this morning?
0:26
Came so
0:28
far, stadium today. So what
0:30
is it America's game of the week? We've
0:32
just watched the Dallas Cowboys traveled
0:34
to the LA Rams and
0:37
given the sound old bidding as well.
0:40
And the trip so far, Jared,
0:42
like, is it everything you would
0:44
have expected when you planned this trip? Because
0:47
feels like what you like and everything's gonna
0:50
plan. Yeah.
0:52
I've had some pretty great experiences
0:54
today, Kayne. So we've started a NFL
0:56
network where
0:58
governing body built when the
1:00
stadium was built, they built their television
1:02
and headquarters out here. So
1:05
there was a a London game early this morning
1:07
and they had the game day set up
1:09
hosted by Colin Emmanuel
1:11
Sanders and Willie Macquarie to a two
1:14
super Bowl winners. So we're
1:16
able to be on the set with them and we
1:18
we filmed the segment at half time, which
1:21
I presume,
1:21
NFL Australia is gonna
1:23
put out that shortly.
1:25
And then into the stadium where
1:27
Fox Sports
1:28
have had me in broadcast box
1:31
throughout the day. So Kevin Burkhardt and Greg
1:33
Olson is their lead
1:35
team now, Kevin,
1:37
extremely generous fellow. And
1:39
yes, so I've been – I had the
1:41
best seat in the best stadium
1:44
in the world I suspect over the last three hours
1:46
and just watching the the Americans
1:48
go about it.
1:49
Is it a is it a a trip
1:52
that you're a learning trip, Jared? Are
1:54
you looking to bring some things back
1:56
to add to your broadcasting career,
1:58
or is it largely a holiday?
2:01
No.
2:01
So it was I put it under the
2:04
category of professional development chain, but
2:06
that's how I've I've got trip approved
2:08
at home. So, yeah,
2:10
there were a few things that I wanted to experience.
2:13
I've
2:13
obviously been to the four of the
2:15
past five Super Bowls, but they're the only NFL
2:17
games that I've been to. So to
2:20
get here and to have a look at the
2:22
media set up to have a look at the
2:24
stadia during the regular season
2:26
to get a feel for the fan bases
2:29
and then to get that that broadcast
2:31
side of things as well. So
2:34
that was part
2:36
of the methodology behind that. And
2:38
today's being huge on that front.
2:40
So
2:41
I'm a bit of a I'm sure on what I
2:43
do is
2:44
the best thing you can generate
2:46
is just ideas and a way of
2:48
thinking and an observation our
2:50
sport is not NFL. But
2:53
there are
2:54
there are clearly there
2:56
are ideas of play and
2:59
ideas that last for I lost
3:01
Monday night in San Francisco. I was in
3:03
the radio broadcast box Westwood
3:06
Blum, which is very similar
3:08
to what we would do on AFL Nation.
3:11
So Kevin Alan is one
3:13
of the the great broadcasters I was having
3:15
to spend the night in there and observe
3:17
him and his expert was Kurt Warner.
3:19
So that was brilliant to be able to
3:22
watch what they do and to see
3:24
just to marry it up a little bit with what
3:26
you and I and Huddl and Jared Healy have been
3:28
doing and
3:29
and see what's transposable and part
3:31
of it is sort of
3:32
experiencing the reinforcement as well.
3:35
Jared, when you speak Australian
3:37
footprint to to the to the Americans.
3:40
What response do you get?
3:43
there is a level of fascination. Annoyingly,
3:47
the flinch reaction is is that rugby.
3:49
Mhmm.
3:50
So I think I got a bit of work to do
3:52
on that front. And I had
3:54
brought a couple of shareings over with me
3:57
to carry favor and to hand out.
3:59
So
3:59
there's been a bit of excitement around
4:02
that. But they certainly From the perspective
4:04
of the punters and the understanding
4:06
that we're we're a kicking culture,
4:09
Greg Olson, we had a great come session with
4:11
Greg Olson today around that. And
4:13
he knows Michael Dixon from the Seahawks.
4:15
He's an Australian hunter there at
4:18
he's told him stories around we
4:21
grow up kicking the ball rather than
4:23
throwing it or even
4:24
catching it. We grow up kicking it. So that's
4:26
obviously a strong suit. But
4:29
Yeah. And there's the idea that
4:31
Australian might be able to host a
4:33
game in the future, then
4:34
there's these two games have been in London.
4:37
I know that daily telegraph
4:40
have reported earlier in the year, the possibility
4:42
of cowboys and the Rams. So the two
4:44
teams have played the direct flights,
4:46
L.
4:47
A. and Dallas. I
4:48
don't know, NFL Australia has got
4:51
got a new chief executive, and
4:53
she's previously been linked to head office
4:55
at the NFL and she carries a real
4:57
class
4:58
with her own. Yeah. There's
5:00
there's
5:00
a a fascination. And I hope
5:02
that's that
5:03
we might be able to grow that relationship further.
5:06
who's the biggest name in the NFL at
5:08
the moment? Is it is it still Tom Brady
5:10
with what he's doing? I know there's some some talk
5:12
about his personal life, which would have him in the
5:14
headlines. But who's captivating
5:16
the public over there in terms of
5:18
star power?
5:21
Patrick
5:21
My Holmes has got something to
5:23
him, Jane. So he's
5:24
he's long been the next generation phenom
5:27
and they've played that Sunday night game
5:29
where we spoke last week and Mahomes had one
5:31
of his great career
5:33
highlights was a little a
5:35
jump shot into the end zone for
5:37
a receiver after he looked like he was running the
5:39
demo and should have sent a coverage of that
5:41
for two or three days. And that's
5:43
my last stop is gonna be Monday night
5:45
football in Kansas City to see my
5:47
homes in this natural habitat. I
5:49
can't wait for that. So -- Mhmm. --
5:51
he's the most prodigious talent.
5:53
He's already a super bowl winner. And
5:55
then, yeah, we're in the we're in the dying days
5:58
of Brady. who's
5:59
never to be
5:59
discounted. And beyond that, you know, I
6:02
think there's a real thrill around the Buffalo
6:04
Bills.
6:05
and Josh Allen, their quarterback
6:07
and what they might amount to the CRI.
6:09
I suspect they're the competition favorites
6:12
as
6:12
we talk now and the the Chiefs
6:14
have a role to play in in playing
6:16
Matt. Alright,
6:17
Jared. What are the next couple of days
6:19
I have in store for you? You mentioned last stop,
6:21
man, and I've football and my homes.
6:23
When will you be back?
6:26
I
6:27
land back in Australia on
6:29
Friday. So if things go to plan where
6:31
you're in and out of Kansas City and watch Monday
6:33
Night Football, and then the last thing
6:35
I'll do will be go to the first playoff
6:37
game at Dodgers Stadium. as
6:39
they get into the post season. So
6:42
their divisional – their divisional
6:44
games start on Tuesday, and Tuesday is
6:46
my last night in LA. So sort
6:48
of feels like the right thing to do to go the dodges
6:50
again. When
6:51
I grow up, I wanna be Jared Whiteley. Thanks for
