[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 872253"] I just read this and I simply don't understand the issues Gutekunst describes: [URL]https://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/48902/packers-trade-master-general-brian-gutekunst-still-looking-to-make-moves[/URL] "The difference will be obviously we have four or five guys who work the phones during the draft, and they're usually all sitting to my right," Gutekunst said this week on -- what else? -- a conference call with reporters. "As calls come in or we call people to know what's out there, they're communicating with me. Those same four or five guys are going to be communicating with me. Obviously I'll hear their voices, [B][but] I won't be able to see their facial expressions."[/B] Does he mean to say he's going to run this thing by phone conference and not video conference? That's nuts. For a $1,000+ bucks he can get a large screen video monitor and a good set of speakers and have his 4 or 5 guys right in his face, see their facial expressions, hear their voices, hear their phones ringing. This might actually be better than a room providing the tech performs...he wouldn't even have to turn his head. And nobody has to wear pants! ;) Sometimes the tech doesn't perform. This begs the question of what else he and his guys don't have--hardware backups, ISP backup, a tech guy on site? Please, please do not tell me he's not running this by conference call on a cell phone and tracking his spreadsheet on a tablet. And we are a world in denial about the far superior call quality of land lines vs. cell connections. The mere fact the call reported here dropped out after 10 minutes screams for quality and backups at every vulnerability point when the cost for three days is so small relative to what is at risk.
