the table under the football field. Do you create it using individual boxes (formatting will be painful) or do you use the table tool for this (can't figure out how to do it)?
Please let me know what the easiest method is. I'm going to go with using individual boxes for now.

Make the table and leave some empty space on the top row where you can put individual boxes at the top.
use excel
I'd think the analyst used excel, and this is probably the easiest way to do it. Those are probably just small width/height cells rather than borders.
It's a pain in powerpoint, but remember that arrange objects top, middle and center are your friend! (Alt-H-G-A and then T or M or C).
BAML might've had a template or algorithm to spit out these slides (im not sure)

Blank columns and rows
Excel
