Amazing that making the balls are so labor intensive and the they have a lot of very long term employees.

How'd you like to do Emmit's job 8 hrs a day for 30+ years (turning the 'balls in-side-out by hand)???

I had no idea footballs were actually "balanced and blueprinted" (if you will) down to a gnat's eyebrow!

Great Video!!! I just hope next year that they are still producing as many balls/day, with the labor issues at hand.
