-- -- -- -- or -- I got a question -- not I'm not I'm not trying to say you know you will. You know take advantage of someone else's misery but. If the hockey lockout goes on in there and people aren't spending their money on hockey tickets do you see any. The the bills get any of that ticket buying money is there any benefit to you guys at all. Directors -- Howard you know from our standpoint. We do it's vote -- -- dollars are really are or grill a former competition and that -- capacity. That we always believed that. You know any time -- -- they -- brought -- the community which would be the sabres play. It's good for our business and I we want to get back on the prices are possible. -- they -- you guys lovers have a home game on Sunday against Tennessee before we get into that how important was last week you know with what had happened in San Francisco in the back part of the New England game and and where the team's psyche may have been act. And you're out there that whole time got to give me a feel for what you saw during the week and maybe what you saw after the game in these last couple days how important was finally getting a win. Every huge -- If you're able to -- -- win especially in the fashion that we did I think it was great for our organization. I think. You know we talked about last week. When you ask if I thought it was a good thing or your organization is straight out through all week. It really it would deter on the outcome of -- and crimes. Always great. But you know I think in general -- -- effective at training camp type of atmosphere. In other organization was sequestered in together. And there was. -- and edged field throughout the course of the week. It was not it's and our country club I thought that this error. Every one of those very focused and -- translated over to the field and -- -- -- is this -- on top of the course was huge for a Jewish but also reduced our campus. The last two weeks were worked up and everybody. I don't know about country club that is your -- guys -- -- skies get massages every day at a chateau filled. Now I I I will I will save and I did see Ichiro on a consistent basis. It was not rot. It. He said he was easier than -- during the whole time breaking down films though barely. He was and is wrong but it was also. Focus right -- goes on and that is they have with the Circuit Court and and aren't download and he didn't look like you would work I know it was origin where he was caught it like this. Diddy -- better -- to play more West Coast games back to back its auto Utley tonight that are not. You know -- About I mean the the the win was important because of the psyche of the team but talk about what's going on in the division right now look I think most people -- New -- still the class they've lost three games but the -- by like two or three points. And they still look like the team to beat but the fact that all the teams are three and three. How what does that do for teams confidential what does that do for the mindset of the bill. Petty car we're all the same boat and -- it -- and from here on out and or all of the well starting gate -- so. All right so. It's protected right and there -- a position that makes noises. As we talked about it struck course camp then. And of course this is and that's all I'll play real well on the stretch and we've got a top stretch upstart this weekend. But in arts it's where you wanna be on top of the division. Obviously everyone else -- that's always a is as much upright now so we have an opportunity of problems and look forward to channel. I think that's part of it to rest the whole day of C -- minutes and it's a down year right now you only got two teams with a winning record in the entire conference. But the good news is for their rest the teams in the AFC you know you can sit there at three and three Tennessee's -- -- -- they don't think they're out of it and they get a win on Sunday. There of course not it's. It's a tough week. To get to the playoffs element six under sixty division are huge copper has an opportunity. What you look at the conference it's it's it's right now -- -- aren't really has an opportunity to break a run at that so I would go a lot of work at a us. But when they're on a huge it puts added in the -- on the right direction and hopefully we can make a little more arms against it would. The chances you would completely ignore the tampering rules in the National Football League and answer questions about whether you have any interest in doing about. Out about our you don't -- view. I get shot. I never thought maybe in like -- a moment you know. What a week are our most questions -- I did it. I like -- you tell us dress I don't get bored with the Internet. And now a couple of things wanna get dropped a home game Sunday is sold out wait -- and we talked about the other games Miami well first off any update on the Miami ticket number. -- -- -- you know weren't -- along with Miami you know -- -- we talked about it previously but we are. Cautiously optimistic -- -- dot. Obviously it's are -- took it all it's a large our arrival of our time game. We want big game we want to building obviously electric or part time atmosphere. Against. A lot like I am so. -- cartels up try to get Beckett. And hopefully we talked a couple weeks -- will be don't put one on the book. I forgot I got a new one and -- and don't give any control over this but I don't forget to bring this up last week urine of really odd part of the schedule. Where you played. Let me get the -- you played Arizona they came -- -- Thursday night game. You play Tennessee coming up -- Thursday night game. You -- -- buys and you get used to but they have the by the state of the by the same week you do see you don't have an edge on them. And then you play new England and they come off of their buys it like four straight weeks does not as a weird stuff going out -- that you have any city on that stuff at all. Hit our power because. You know our street could have brought it up as well. And they also edited by -- three games in December. I think what it does give credit. Maybe it makes people believe that we actually do not have -- saying this potential. Because. What you laid out like that is certainly does not all our paper. Prop up at him. Rug rats Kerr and they arrest her -- her -- and I mentioned. Which had a city so it's not operable but it's what we have to work through it well. Now when you look I don't ever believe it when it comes schedule when it comes out so hopefully you'll remember this April or talk about lecture. But don't get it personally I don't ever believe anybody in sports anymore I've I've been in the business way to -- ever believe anybody it's it's it's not you -- it's Tuesday a lifetime of being jaded. And it. Does not go that -- now it threw me. And you're -- seller in the other home games like the best thing you have in terms of marketing team is winning football games at the deals wherein you can move your inventory in December short of that. What else can you do special discounts special promotions when the season begins all the than the actual wins and losses what else can you do to try and move inventory especially for 3 December home. We have creativity that or what worker or our limited our. What -- -- washed up at a -- -- the year. This about it just tell me you know that's one of the reasons -- we. Or current Arctic Arctic front. Mostly. To keep data portability factor -- why -- our candidate so. That's a lot secondly you know we have options that our group. Fires. Two to receive discounts. We were very -- are we pull a lot of particulars. And outlook Mulder. Opportunities that we roll out of order soccer players -- like we did last year but at a right out the that we have. Our goal games in December and as we talked about credit cards. Personal pleasure rather deep hole going into the final stretch you have that opportunity. And all laid out will spur additional ticket sales as we come down the stretch but we do have reported that we had another good week -- the last. And that's will be nicely but we do have a lot of work to get done. In the next six weeks. I wonder I mean did does it matter how the opponent is playing like people look that we -- the NFC west outside of San Cisco and set -- to dog division the other three teams and you gotta sell Saint Louis here in Seattle the Toronto series but now. Saint Louis has got to a winning record Seattle has knocked off new England and Green Day a lot of people are surprised with them does that help at all how the opponent plays. They are it got a little bit part aren't we are discussed this then when you look at one metre sample. Up December day. Many -- -- this decade replayed. And replayed. The jets Miami in December. Still very dot -- can't get off the box so. It's just really come around that it's challenging December sellout role also stated -- And that I it has. Scorers -- we really have to I haven't brought back to 1990. I a couple of things for let you go one I was close that's about -- -- I forgot why bring back Shawne Merriman a guy who you you know you had. And really didn't look like he was productive in the team decided to release him. I know he got injuries and had to get somebody to plate you know help out on the defense a -- but why -- in particular Russell was the the thinking of the organization there. But or your body -- body can ask about a pop prosperous from first Ulster airport or what we talked -- last week artist. You look at each and every week out at our roster Carter. What resources and tools recruit for the table. And body steps are comparable Aaron. You -- we have had victories on the line or at our commanders and so. That your body will dispute that. Deeper rationale but or shot. It was doctor what it was we have helped me. Oh lead to some of the -- force -- -- -- stretch. I'd you know someone ask you about one is an event coming up Friday one is actually coming up Sunday during the game. Talk a little bit about Bill Polian going up on the wall of fame I'm sure that you would get a rousing ovation on Sunday. He will mean bill's obviously means a lot to any of -- organization. And obviously tortured unity. Toward the -- accurate in the history of the game and I don't think this will be his last daughter oaxley -- to put out a yellow jacket. And sometime in the near future as well. Much deserve. It will be a great celebration. Not all reform bill. As I am playing but so many of the guys from the glory years are coming years are coming back to rot holes and it will be a very astute. I could say that -- -- this I will have a lot of. That. Yeah now OK so. It's actually. Did held they'll be at the big -- all night okay. And you also haven't you're involved in an event coming up Friday in the falls the believe. Breast cancer awareness event if you could talk a little bit about that and now people can get involved to support. You know the cause to raise wanted to fight breast cancer. Yeah it's a great events. Great cause that ours our organization a long road out of hell are a big part of them. You better now or not at her stepdaughter bridge up what all the drug would take over which is. In Niagara Falls and encourage everybody to go out there is going to be a -- -- night -- supports breast cancer awareness and a it'll also be paying whatever. A living. Written elsewhere across the rainbow bridge. You don't want your -- are all I'm Belinda Carlisle coming back. -- you know that reform and a concert it's just Serbia. A great opportunity for people would get together and show or spotlight. -- -- abrupt answer. I saved the best question the last now I know this is the trade question and you can. And answer it because you are not liable subject to tampering. By askew was a former Marlins employee should they trade for A-Rod. Low. It ought -- I saw his interview last part but I sources. Pay salaries for the next. Are your children total -- fourteen million. I go to -- has -- a paper commitments this year it. Spell it. Other guys our early I think -- -- swallow it let's go -- -- but those. -- contracts. That besides that the -- Obviously. Our daughter -- was around all the time our school. And -- was very good prospect. Obviously a -- sought out there at -- is a great doctorate for technical all of but. That's -- question that's a pretty big contract. Inevitably you just got to get the Yankees the most of the contract and can afford it. Yep they're good they could do that at Pitt who order contract. A long -- -- It's probably words work out but -- -- -- others whereas -- -- -- -- you know a lot of current structure. I Russell talk to you next week and good luck on Sunday against the titans on the stadium. -- --
