about 300,000 fans in detroit last night.shows, the podcasts before you get to this huge annual pageant now, it is something else. >> if the nfl can do one thing better than any other industry in the united states, it is spectacle. between the super bowl and the announcement of the schedule and certainly the draft, they pump this thing up into different tentacles of the united states, whether it's fashion, hollywood, civic boosterism around detroit. it has become such a thing. i went to two drafts and saw it up close, one in chicago and the next year in philadelphia. it was a massive circus then. then you see it ramping up every year. i liken it to super bowl rings. if you look at the first ring, it was small and tasteful. now these billionaire owners are outcompeting each other to make these massive rings that basically would fit on my wrist. it's an insane arms race to kind of outglitz the last person or ring or draft. it's something that continued to capture the imagination of the american public in all realms. it's a wond

we are working together to address the housing issues in detroit. you have been able to get funding that we might not have otherwise gotten and as a result of our ncic -- ncrc affiliation. all that has been made possible because of our membership within ncrc. just ask some other members while you are here this week. look for the people with the red ribbon on their badge. to my fellow members, this is important. the ncrc is listing and wants to hear from you. we need feedback on how we can improve and continue enhancing our support. we need you to complete our members survey, a quick survey right there in the conference app. you have the conference app, right? ok. we had a packed schedule these next couple of days and many of you were up on capitol hill yesterday. how many people were out there? all right. it does make a difference. get that lunch and refuel because we are going to cover a lot of ground today. in the breakout rooms, we will drill down on what change looks like on the ground. here on the main stage, we will look at the bigger picture

the a's enjoying their time at a big-league park in detroit, brent having fun in motown, he belted hisr of the series. oakland jumped out to a 2-0 lead, strange territory for them this season. and paul blackburn tossed six shutout innings, oakland has only won two games this season, both started by blackburn. the giants won their home opener friday in walk-off fashion, they will look to keep that momentum going tonight against the padres. pablo not without the giants, he was released at the end of spring training, but the panda isn't ready to retire, he is joining the atlantic league, and the ballers could come back to the bay area, we'll see. and fred warner, we love the guy, but i don't think he will be following in coach's footsteps. he threw out the first pitch yesterday, what do you think? he pretty much spiked it straight into the ground, matt williams just let it go to the backstop. fortunately for fred, much better on the football field. to golf, augusta national, the top 35 players got to play in the final round of the women's amateur. the sophomore birdied three of her final
