You're getting paid a handsome salary.

I'm helping Sean Payton.

I'm not putting the machine on.

You're a Patriots fan.

That's my price for helping the Broncos?

Well, that would be my price.

Just watching the game.

See, I think it would be the technology of a camera from far away could zoom in and study the pupils of the fans in attendance.

That's true.

Face recognition.

And you have everybody mic'd and you hear the Patriots fans going, I hope they go for it.

I hope they go for it.

And that's how you do it.

There's something here, though.

I do feel like nobody knows.

There's no more honest reaction in sports than people rooting for their own team.

Instinctively being like, I hope this happens or I hope this doesn't happen.

I would still take a hundred times out of a hundred over the analytic charts.

And I like analytics and I've obviously used them a lot with stuff, but that was a perfect example of misreading the situation because no Patriots fan wanted them to go up 10, nothing.

when we're in bad weather and there's snow coming and it was just like, this is a disaster.
