Phil Savage's advice to Senior Bowl's Jim Nagy, who says NFL has no negative stadium feedback

New Reese's Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy said in his discussions with contacts around the NFL, there has been no negative feedback concerning the state of Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

Nagy, who was introduced as the new executive director of the all-star game Wednesday during a press conference, joined me and Lee Shirvanian on Thursday - as did former executive director Phil Savage - on "The Opening Kickoff" on WNSP-FM 105.5 to talk about the transition of one of Mobile's premier events.

Savage was vocal in January about the state of Ladd-Peebles Stadium, the game's home since 1951, arguing that the Senior Bowl needed a new -- or at least renovated -- venue.
