Augi has it more or less right. Flat characters don't necessarily have to be minor characters, but they usually are. A flat character is said to be so because they're one dimensional; another word that could be used would be a caricature. The character doesn't really have any growth potential and doesn't exhibit the well-rounded traits that would make them feel alive. These characters do have an important role to play in fiction, but they tend to be part of the scenery more than part of the action, if that makes sense.
Flat characters tend to be very difficult to empathize with. A round or developed character shows growth and has a more deveolped personality, which makes them easier to empathize with. To pull an example out of classic fiction, Ebenezer Scrooge is a round character, but Marley's ghost is a flat one.
Your scenes really shouldn't be related, as it will be difficult to portray the same character as both flat and round. The second scene could actually be retooled to work well as a flat character depiction; Bill is a Mariners fan and that's really all there is to him.
On a grammatical note, watch homonyms. This is something that gets me from time to time too. You brake a car, and break a fortune cookie.
