Why are you taking it out on us? If he was so good, where was his spotter? You should be taking it out on his spotter whose job is to let him know when he runs out of cable.

Here, you can give this to him, to break his fall next time.

Hey man its alright we all screw up every once in awhile!!! Im sure a NFL security guard makes some pretty good dough and alot more then you do filming the game! if your as good as you say you are why are you on a fan club message board trying to convince people something that you and i both know is "rectified"

Reminds me of the bald guy to fought Linderman in "My Bodyguard"

Mark Briggs is the head of security at Gillette. I was told that he had been on Queen Elizabeth's security team, had an artificial leg and can chase down anybody. I would not mess with the guy.

Operations:

Mark Briggs, Chief Operating Officer Mark arrived in the USA towards the end of 2000. Prior to arriving in the USA, Mark served sixteen years in the British Army and managed hundreds of events at London's Wembley complex between 1990 and 1998 (the complex included the world renowned stadium, arena, conference center and exhibition halls). During this time, Mark also successfully formed and ran a security company that provided services to many venues throughout England. In 1996, along with others, Mark created a software program that today provides computer based software solutions for pedestrian management, as well as the design of public gathering spaces. Further information on this program can be viewed at Legion | #1 in Pedestrian Simulation Solutions. In 1998 Mark moved to Australia, under contract with the Sydney Olympics Organizing Committee, and was instrumental in the design and management of public areas throughout the Common Domain area of Sydney Olympic Park during the Olympic Games. As well as planning and managing the actual space, Mark was part of the team who recruited, trained and managed the thousands of paid and volunteer staff who worked throughout what could be described as the best "guest" managed Games of the modern era. Following the completion of the Paralympics Mark moved to the USA on a H1B professional visa and began working as the Director of Security for the home of the New England Patriots. Since arriving in the USA, Mark has assisted in the successful transition from Foxborough Stadium to Gillette Stadium, advised the National Football League and Major League Soccer on security processes at sporting and entertainment venues, overseen the transition from pre 9/11 to post 9/11 (extensive operational military and intelligence experiences in the British army have given insights that were not generally available within the USA). Mark has been responsible for security operations that have included many stadium concerts, MLS and International soccer matches, 5 NFL seasons, 3 Super Bowls, 3 Patriots training camps, as well as the hundreds of stadium trade shows and conferences that take place at Gillette Stadium. In 2007 Mark became Chief Operating Officer of TeamOps LLC, which also provides services at other sports and entertainment venues.

Yeah, you're right. The guy is clueless.

Mort said on ESPN this morning that Briggs has been "reprimanded" with a letter by the NFL, but that the league found the video "inconclusive."
