Are you interested in helping Tom work the NY game? 

If so, you need to be able to work a camcorder, and to be able to present yourself as a professional and conduct yourself in a working press manner. 

This means that you must fit the part. Business casual dress, and the ability to not be a fan in the press box. There is no cheering or sneering in reaction to a play. 

You must also be able to pay your own way as far as travel and hotel accomodations if needed. This is a unique experience for you to see how the production of an NFL game happens. If you are interested please respond here. 

Is this thing STILL on?

I think greed is talking about how in the press box you can't really cheer or jeer. It's business.

Lol, I am sure you will have many.  Have fun, but not too much fun as that isn't allowed.  Enjoy, but not really.
I am confused... are u wishing him a fun time or not?
wishing him as much fun as he is allowed to have in the press box.  :)

When I read the offer posted, I got excited. "NEW YORK!?!" ... aaaand then I went straight to google to figure out when we play the Giants. October 3rd, 2016 apparently...  :# 

I couldn't shake the mental image of printing off a bunch of game notes, introducing yourself as a "first timer" and trying to impress media types with preparedness and professionalism... and then having to sneak away to a garbage can to throw away the stack of stupid Giants material...

This is awesome. Scott, have fun at the game (well, I guess not too much fun...might end your up and coming cameraman career). I'll be at the game as well, so if you guys need any help....(it would actually help me get away from the misses), just holler.

I will have a few more words to say when I get back home, but to say this was an incredible  experience  just doesn't do it justice.   First and foremost I wanted to thank Tom for taking me on this experience.  I've seen Tom work before but to see him in his element was truly  inspiring and I see now how he does it.  He's still gifted in what he does but it's  the "work" that he puts well before  the game and during the game that produces what you see in the videos.

Likewise! Don't worry, there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future for more games to meet at. Glad to see you had a great experience with this Scott.
