Bob Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The factory where goalposts are made for 24 NFL teams (and thousands of colleges and high schools) is about a quarter-mile from my house. The NFL Films guys were there today, shooting footage for a piece that's going to air on FOX Sports 1 and NFL Network in December. I talked to them for a story in my newspaper. I was surprised to learn that they actually shot everything on 16mm film until this season. They were the world's largest user of cinema-quality film. It was cool watching them work. They'll spend two days here for a 10-minute segment in a half-hour show. The show is called "NFL Films Presents" and the company is Sportsfield Specialties Inc.

kay_gee Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 No politics please. But what if the Jets can't sign FAs due to carbon emissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC36 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 But what if the Jets can't sign FAs due to carbon emissions? It can be the fault of Idzik, Mary Poppins, Dorothy or Mrs. Garrett, but it cannot be because of god, allah, or any political figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 But what if the Jets can't sign FAs due to carbon emissions? No problem. Last year we signed a FA, (Winslow), with high emissions in his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
