He didn’t allow the NFL to participate at all because he could do it. Every venue, every site is different but you know what I wanna do. Ron, I think the best way to answer some of these questions is we’ll get HKS in town in short order in the next few weeks.’

‘There is not enough time, but you do not ever try to make drastic changes during the season anyways. I think there is a lot of stuff that we have done well.
