I definitely would have given up at 100-0! I wonder how many quarterbacks they used. Junipero Serra High School JV football had a historically bad season where they never scored a touchdown, yet never attempted to start their backup QB. The backup just happened to be Tom Brady!


WHAT!!!! imagine if Tom Brady played for that team, they would have won 222-223! That is awesome. Are you an alex smith fan?


Yeah. I hope he recovers from his injury. He's a really smart quarterback. He entered college as a junior because he took so many AP classes. That is one smart guy!


yea he is so smart! I think he got his first degree as a sophomore in college! then became the #1 pick!


Baker Mayfield was the first pick last year, but applied himself a bit differently. He once considered quitting football to go into competitive gaming. That's crazy. Do you have a favorite quarterback?


Wow, I heard he liked halo 3. I could beat him! I liked michael vick back in the day. he was my favorite lefty quarterback, you?


There's not many lefty quarterbacks. Kellan Moore is the only lefty in the NFL now.


Wow, I did not know that. Quarterbacks must be a right handers game! Do you watch college football much?


A little. I actually used to work in college athletics. There are some interesting things about college football. The visiting locker room at the University of Iowa is painted completely pink. There's so many strange things about football!


I live down the street from that stadium. It is so interesting, it is used to psych out the other team! Good chatting with you!


Good chatting with you! Wave at the kids in the hospital for me!


Hi, how are you? I have chatted much in recent days about football. You?


Hello there, I like football, but have been watching basketball lately.  Did you watch the superbowl this year?


no i didnt have a chance to see the sb. i heard that it was a bit slow.


Yeah it sure was, the first 3 quarters there was no much offense or scoring at all.  Not very exciting, not like the year before I will say.


The year before had a big comeback, right?


Yeah the Eagles and the Pats had a good back and forth going, with the Eagles QB making some crazy plays to win the game.


the eagles had not won the sb before, right? that was their first, i think


Yeah good call, it was their first.  I think they deserved it and wasn't going to feel sorry for the Pats, since they have dominated the last 10 years or so.


Yeah, brady has six rings now? someone else deserves a turn


I think he does yeah, he will go down as one of the greatest.  I was hoping the KC Chiefs would have won it, with their young star QB.


I wonder what is going to happen next year. the NFL needs to deal with the problem of concussions and injury.


They sure do, I hope all of the tracking technology can be used to improve player safety.  Did you see the movie Concussion, with Will Smith?


I did not. does he play a doctor or something? there was a nigerian guy doing research on CTE, right?


Yep, he plays a doctor that does extensive research on CTE and a lot of people involved in the league don't want to accept his findings till years later.


Yeah, there is too much money to be made. Player injuries get in the way of that.


Yeah they sure do.  Did you know that there is no rule regarding female players in the league?


i heard that. i wonder if a woman will ever show up at tryouts.


I hope so, but I think the system we have in place, well actually we don't have a system in place for girls to work their way up to the pro level.


yeah, there is no high school or college ball for girls. they cant prepare for the pros.


Yep, that is why it will be hard, but once one does, I think it will open the floodgates for all types of women's programs which would be cool.


I would like to see more women in sports. athletics is important for many reasons. Anyway, great chat!


Yeah I agree there, and same to you, I hope you have a good day!


Hi! Do you follow the Rams at all? I'm glad Sean McVay became the top candidate for coach of the year. He deserves it after what he's done in his first season with the Rams!


Can't say that I follow the Rams no. I do think that Sean did a great job though. I could definitely see him winning that award. His team is the number 3 seed in the NFC playoff field now. So that's definitely good


So very true. It's certainly rare to do what he's done - like molding Jared Goff to become a franchise QB and turning Todd Gurley into an MVP candidate - especially in year one!


Well let me ask you this, do you like football at? Personally I only watch it a little bit, but my favorite quarterback is Tom Brady, who's your favorite quarterback?


I do and I'm in agreement with you. Tom Brady is definitely my favorite quarterback or "QB". Can you believe his JV high team refused to start him when he was a back up while the team never won or scored a touchdown? That is unbelievable!


Wow that's insane! I wonder why they did it that way haha. Another thing I didn't know is that a deaf quarterback created the Huddle. He used it so that the other team could not see his hands signing


That makes so much sense and I'm sure coaches and players over the years appreciate him for that! Even left handed quarterbacks like Kellan Moore, who just so happens to be the only left handed QB in the NFL today!


That is shocking! Do you think it gives him an advantage or a disadvantage? Have you heard about Baker Mayfield as well? He was almost a professional gamer but switched over to playing for the NFL


I'm sure it probably gives him an advantage since it's "different". But I didn't know that about Baker. That was a wise choice, I'm sure in terms of pay. Even though engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of NFL and MLB players, but I would guess NFL players make more than pro gamers. Ha!


Haha I think you're right! A lot of these quarterbacks are really talented though. Did you hear about Alex Smith? He got his four-year degree in only 2 years and was working on his master's before joining the NFL


Wow! He must be a genius. People like him have the brains/talent while people like Benjarvus Green-Ellis have such unique talent like never fumbling the football in their entire pro career!


That is an incredible feat! another incredible feet would be if a female player joined the NFL. Apparently there is no rule that does not allow for that


That us true. Makes you wonder why one had never been drafted or picked up by a team. The NFL gameplay is only an average 11 minutes, so you'd think they would at least sign a female to be a kicker or something!


Haha yeah right! I could see a female kicker. did you hear about the tracking chips that they put in players shoulder pads though? Hopefully they take those off so they can't be tracked when they're not playing haha


Oh, no kidding! No telling what those players do after a game! Ha! Then again, they could track Saints players to see if cheerleaders are dining in the same restaurant as them, which is forbidden. Can you believe that?


I can't believe that. In this day and age that seems completely unnecess on a separate note, did you ever bowl by chance? I guess top bullying players earn more than top football players back in the 1960s


Are you serious? Bowling must have been major back in those days. But I still don't think it's as unbelievable as Georgia Tech beating Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916, which to this day is the record for the highest score in footfall.


That is an amazing record! I wish that we had a video of that game because I would have liked to have seen that. Imagine how bad you would feel if you were a Cumberland fan that day haha., I wonder if they had a left-handed quarterback like Kellen Moore maybe that was their secret haha


Ha! No kidding. It would be interesting to see! Almost like the University of Iowa's visiting team locker room beinf painted completely pink. I bet that's a sight to behold! Ha!


Haha that would be a crazy thing to see! I always wonder if that would make me play better or worse though! What do you think?


It's tough to say. I suppose it could be motivational or depressing! But let's be honest: it isn't as innovative as ESPN creating the yellow first down line! Ha! They totally deserved an Emmy for that. Well it was great chatting with you tonight!


Do you have a favorite quarterback in the NFL? I don't watch football much, but I do like Tom Brady and a few others.


I do, Tom Brady of course, I'm a fan of the Patriots, Alex Smith is another great QB


Kellan Moore is also really cool because he's the only lefty. I always hear his name and have to think a minute. I get this football player mixed up with Kellyanne Conway of all people.


Is he really the only lefty in the league? I thought there were at least a couple more, do you know who invented the circular huddle?


No, I'm not sure who did. I always enjoy watching the huddles in the football games on TV. I like to imagine ad lib what they're saying and thinking.


The huddle was invented by Paul. D. Hubbard, he was a deaf QB.


Wow, that's really smart of him. It's amazing how it caught on and is still used today in football games even in the NFL.


Being deaf sure was a big disadvantage but maybe his other senses heightened and he was able to play better thanks to that.


That sounds reasonable. I've heard of that happening with people who lose one sense. Did you know that Tom Brady started out as kind of a failure at football? He was only a backup to begin with.


He was? its kind of hard to imagine that I bet his team had a great QB and also a great team.


Well, I guess the quarterback and the whole team of Brady's wasn't doing too well and he really should have been put in but for some reason they didn't let him play, even. Sad football season for him.


I bet that made him improve his skills, he definitely showed his coach


Yes, I bet the coach was embarrassed after that! lol Quarterbacks seem to be in the news a lot. I never hear of the field goal kickers or something, do you?


No not really, they are only in the news when they miss an important shot lol, did you hear about the Emmy ESPN won because of the yellow first down line


That's amazing! I wonder how much that increased their income? Do you like soccer aka football, too?


I do like it, its one of my favorite sports as well I also like rugby


I used to play football soccer a lot when I was a kid. I was pretty good at it and always seemed to lose balls over fences, though. lol


Yeah that happened to me as well I just watch it now lol, do you like Rugby as well? what about Gaelic football?


I do like Rugby but it's hard to catch a match on TV without cable. I think I've watched a match or two on YouTube. I definitely watch NFL highlights on YouTube a lot also.


I do that as well I just don't have the time to watch the games, they last a long time and all the ads just drive me crazy.


It's hard to believe football season for NFL is only September through December. I wish we could have it year round. I guess the football players need some time to rest and practice, too, though.


How's it going, do you like football? A lot of people are speculating Bill Belichick is going to leave the Patriots soon.


I don't watch a lot of football. What position does he play?


He's the coach of the New England Patriots, theres rumors that him and his QB Tom Brady are not getting along despite all the success they've had


Aw, that's not good. Speaking of football, did you know Iowa states locker room is painted pink?


Yea lol, I guess Iowa is really trying to play mind games on the visiting team with the pink locker room, or they really like pink


Yeah, seems like they're messing with them. I think pink is supposed to be a calming color.


I wonder if Georgia tech did anything to mess with Cumberland before the game they beat them 222-0


If not then they must have played a good game! Did you know that in the 1960s the top bowlers made twice as much as football players?


No, that's pretty crazy but the average engineer also makes more than the average nfl player over a lifetime


That's pretty interesting. The NFL allows women if they meet the requirements.


Interesting, since there no rule forbidding them I think it's possible to see a female placekicker


Definitely seems possible. In an average NFL game there is only 11 minutes of live game play! I never would have guessed that!


Yea, it's shocking how many injuries occur in only 11 minutes of actual gameplay


Absolutely! And how much work goes into so little actual game play time. The NFL also tracks players movements through chips in their shoulder pads.


That's pretty crazy, it's also crazy that Kellan Moore is the only left handed qb in the nfl


That's interesting. The junipero serra highschool jv football team had a historically bad season which they failed to even score a touch down. Ouch.


Yea, hopefully the coach of the JV team got fired for not even giving Tom Brady a start


The new Orleans cheerleaders are banned from eating at the same place as the NFL players. That's weird.


That makes no sense, Saints cheerleader should be able to eat wherever they want regardless if there are players there or not


Yeah, it does seem a little strange that the cheerleaders have to leave even if they were there first.


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


No I do not like football.  I also do not like TLA.  Three Letter Acronyms will be the death of modern society.


Yes TLA will the DMS, that is true. we should be careful and CYB.


Would Matt Patrricia know what CYB is? He was a rocket scientist before becoming a coach.


cover your behind. DMS death of modern society. (BTW) Matt is a genius. he knows every TLA.


Right. cover your behind.  very well.  Is it important to people that like football to like the announcers.  Brett Favre would be as good as any talking head.


I guess. does he have the personality to fill the booth though? he might need to have a few, just like Madden.


Interesting.  Have a few.  It helps when watching a game to have a few.  I could provide some play by play narrative on the picking of a new ESPN play analyst.


Well, Madden is known to drink while doing play by play. He is a colorful guy, but really needs to restrain himself.


Peyton Manning turned down ESPN and Fox Sports to be the face of the telecast.  Perhaps Madden, after having a few gets a little handsy?


LOL. Yeah, John, boy, he gets lonely up in that booth. The man is a legend but he is past his prime. Time for a change up there.


Do you find the idea of Play by Play on searching for a play analyst for football kind of odd.  Entertainment has be come entertainment.  or something.


Yeah, every thing is so meta these days, that meta itself is getting old. We need like mega-meta or something.


Meta-meta.  I like it.  I was worried you would pull a TLA out.  Michael Stahan seems to have launched a successful broadcasting career.  Skipped the booth and right to morning TV.


MorningTV. man, i could not do that. i would get tired of getting up early. Um, who is Michael Stahan?


New York Giants defensive end.  15 year career in the NFL.  Gap between his front teeth.  I wonder if he will use his new found celebrity to push the NFL to study concussions.


I hope so. that is terrible problem at all levels of the sport. CTE should be looked into and people should know the risks of the sport.


The NFL is in a unique position to study the problem.  They have data, tracking chips in shoulder pads. They have plenty of test subjects.  If only they could avoid being found liable for injury.


Yes, i guess. once they know, then they all liable. still, if they dont try, people will suspect the worst. Anyway, great chat!


Right on.  track the ball velocity, speed and rotation and never learn a thing. good job NFL.


It is a business. the NFL wants to keep the money coming.


17 weeks of regular season, they have to grab cash fast.


The national football league is the one of the major sports league in North america. It consist of 32 team.


They divide them into two divisions, so that they can play against each other to work their way toward the super bowl.


The NFL season starts from September to late December.  The NFL is started in 1920 as APFA, re-naming itself in 1922 as NFL.


I didnt know that.  As long as I have heard about pro football it has always been the NFL.


The NFL has no written rule against the female player they want to met the leagues eligibility requirement.


Im not sure many women would want to play, they dont even treat cheerleaders well.  I cant imagine who they would treat a female player.


Women they want to work hard to fit in the game. NFL uses tracking chips in the players shoulder pads to records move in the field. This shows their aggression to win the trophy.


It isnt hard to be aggressive for just 11 minutes, that is how much game play there is in the average game.


They are earn more revenue than other players. so only they want to lift the trophy.


The only one who had been touching the trophy lately are the New England Patriots... lol


My family is from Miami, so I grew up a Dolphins fan.  No trophies for me.  Lol


In modern american football, the Quarterback is called  as the leader of offense.


The QB is definitely an important part of the game.  One of the most notable in recent times, Tom Brady didnt even get a chance to play on his JV team!


Alex smith is important player all time. He work hard to win each and every game.


He had so many credits in HS that he could afford to start working on a masters degree before entering the draft.


The quarterback also touches the ball on almost every offensive play and they make the forward passes.


Yes, they do.  did you know how the circular huddle came about?


The university of Iowas locker room for visiting football is always painted with pink. Do you know ?


I had heard that before, nice little intimidation tactic there.


Sports is commonly football in some countries include the association football.


Isnt that what they call soccer in the US?


Its is Soccer in US. Some countries called by in the name of football.


I must go, nice chat.  Have a great day.


I do watch the occasional game.  I find it interesting that players are more famous than teams.  Like Eli Manning of the Giants.


I watch a game every blue moon. Did you know the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay? Crazy!


Yes, there are a lot of rules, flags and time outs.  Its kind of like accounting.  What do you think of Kyle Lauletta replacing Manning?


I guess if Manning isn't doing the job, it's time to play the rookie. Teams have to do what they need to get a win.


It does seem he is not doing the job.  It must be a tough choice for a coach.  The QB touches the ball almost every play.  To loose a great like Manning would be rough.


I am sure it must be but it might be time for them to move in. Manning is 37 and I'm sure it's not as easy as it once was.


I like the way the word football means different things depending on location.  Some people would think soccer, some would think rugby.


Yeah so confusing sometimes. I can't believe the highest score in a regular football game was 222-0 back in 1916; GA Tech v. Cumberland. Yikes!


That game must have been something to see, for the winning side.  Did you know that a high school stadium in Texas seats 18,000 people and cost $60 million?


Wow, I'd say that's a lot for a high school stadium. Must be a huge school. Wonder if they have any pink locker rooms like Univ of Iowa for their visiting football teams.


Football, its fun,games and pink locker rooms and serious as  well. 14 of the 25 largest stadiums are college teams.  I wonder if Iowa is large and pink.


Probably just trying to psych out the visitors. Did you know that girls can actually play in the nfl? There seems to be no written rule against it as long as they meet eligibility requirements.


That sounds like a good thing, but is it really?  Do we want to see a girl get hurt on the field?   The NFL uses chips in players pads to track movement.


Yeah that doesn't sound very appealing at all. Would have to be a pretty tough gal for that. Best to do the cheerleading thing probably though I feel bad for the NO Saints cheerleaders who are forbidden from eating in the same restaurants as NFL players.


Cheerleading is a sport in it self.  32 football teams each have cheerleaders.  But, they only work 17 weeks unless the team makes the playoffs.


They would definitely be busier cheering for patriots. They made playoffs a lot. In fact Benjarvus Green former patriot never once fumbled the ball in his nfl career.


Thats a neat thing to learn.  NFL QB Russell Wilson is also a MLB player.  The rangers traded him to the NY Yankees.  I wonder if he gets two checks.


Too bad he didn't go for engineer as second job, they make more than nfl players and mlb players.


I think it has to do with some players making a name and being worth a great deal.  The average engineer has no name and makes a decent amount.  Rocket Scientist Matt Patricia is a coach in the NFL.  I am sure he makes more as the coach than the rocket scientist.


Quite possibly! Hey nice chatting. Have a great day.


Hey who is your favorite quarterback? I like Tom Brady, but I can appreciate Kellen Moore, he's the only left-handed quarterback in the NFL!


I am a fan of most offensive members. I prefer the quarterback leaders. Tom is the man!


I agree! What do you think about Alex Smith? Did you know he was actually a genius and almost got his master's degree?


Wow, that is impressive! Baker mayfield almost quit football to be a gamer. Good thing he stayed in the sport!


I agree I think he's got a better career playing football LOL. What about the circular huddle, do you know how that started


I'm pretty sure it was from a quarterback that was hard of hearing. Is that right?


Yes you're right, he was deaf and would use the Huddle to cloak his hand signals actually.


I would love to see women on the field. Did you know the University of iowa locker room has been painted pink? I guess pink is stereotypically associated with women, so maybe that's for any female players who might join the NFL?


Haha that's a good point. I wonder why they painted it that color by the way? and can you believe the way that the Saints treat their cheerleaders? Did you hear about that


It is probably a good idea to keep the cheerleaders and players apart for drama purposes. Of the 32 teams in the league I think the saints are the only ones that do that.


I heard that other teams do that but I'm not 100% sure, what do you think about teams using tracking chips to check the players on the field though? That could be good for stats I think


I would love access to the data! Such interesting technology. Worth the money since engineers make more than players do.


It is shocking, also shocking that the average NFL game only has about 10 or 11 minutes of gameplay, that's not too much time


Pretty crazy that so much of the gaming is not active play. This year's superbowl was on the first Sunday of February as it always is. Pretty boring game of 11 minutes of play.


Yep I agree it was pretty boring.  also boring is watching bowling games lol. They used to be the highest paid athletes back in the 60s


I love bowling! But watching it is boring. I wonder why they aren't paid as well all of these years later.


they need to invent some new stuff to put on tv when bowling is on. Like the yellow line that they use for football that espn invented


Who is your favorite AFC team? I can't wait for the superbowl next year when the AFC plays the NFC.


I actually don't follow football that much. I do like the Patriots though, are they in the AFC?


I am not sure. But the Patriots are an amazing team. They will go down in history.


Yep I agree. I love their running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, he's never fumbled the ball before, he's so amazing


They run too quickly. But I do watch them on TV.  You?


I'm a fan.  Out of the 32 teams in the NFL do you have a favorite team?  I'm a Browns fan myself.


My condolences. I am a recovering Bills fans myself. My biggest cheers are heard during the bye week.


Nice!  I'm not too far from Bills territory.  I live in extreme North East Ohio and when we go to Erie, PA to shop it turns into Bills country.  lol


Wave hello when you get near the border of NY. I'' be wearing a parka. You know, the NFL has no written rules against women in the NFL?  That is what keeps the Bills under the cap..


lol I've been your way quite a few times.  We always stop at that big rest stop on I90 in NY.  I always look forward to seeing the big indian statue as well.  lol


Nice! I have a friend in Med School in Erie... Osteopathic Medicine. That is what Cheerleaders are trained in. Especially the ones in New Orleans that are prohibited to mingle with NFL players over dinner. Mingling is hazardous to ones health.


Isn't that the oddest rule?  I wonder why they came up with it?  Did you know that the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?


In BIlls country we would celebrate if there was at least one minute of "Live gameplay"  You know, the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is more than that of a NFL player?  That is why the current HR trend it to give the players the job position of "Football Engineer"


LOL In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars of the day.  I'm sure that's way different now.


Bowlers are making a comeback.  They are seeing more and more concussions these days! Soon they will be putting tracking chips in their bowling balls to plot the velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location... for those that did not watch the first time.


lol That's great!  Do you know what the highest scoring football game ever was?


222-0... That must have been a brutal game!


Talk about a blowout!  Ouch. lol  The University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room completely pink.  Wonder why they did that?


As a calming influence on the players, I am sure the visiting team is always grateful for their considerate behavior!  Like I am so thankful to ESPN for that superimposable yellow line they put on the field,. It calms me down considerably!


lol yes me too.  Especially when the team I'm rooting for crosses that yellow line!


Gives you a burst of endorphins! That's why I am hooked on the game. The whole time the teams are in the huddle I'm saying, "who invented the huddle, and why are they spending so much time in there?  I need my next fix!


lol That was pretty neat that the huddle was created by a deaf QB so the other team wouldn't steal his hand signals.  It's been fun chatting with you!


Same here!  And perhaps soon we will see more than just one left-handed QB. Until then... may all your balls bounce the right way!


Hahaha That's great!  Have a great night!


You a sports fan? I always wanted to be a quarterback! The leader of the offense! Glorious job!


I am not a football fan thoughI usually watch the Super Bowl whichisheld the first Sunday in February.


Oh nice. Yeah cool! It is an exciting single elimination tournament indeed.


And seeing the NFC and AFC compete against each other is neat.


Yeah agreed. I think the NFL 17 wewk regular season should be shortened. It's too long and lots of injuries occur.


I guess Joe Flacco was important for the Ravens and was sitting out injured.


Yeah but it sounds like Lamar Jackson was doing well in his place.


Flacco is a former Super Bowl MVP but hasn't done as well in recent times.


Yeah I think he still has good potential though. I have faith in him as a QB. QB's sometimes don't do so well. Just ask Tom Brady who didn't even start in high school on his JV team!


Wow, interesting! Speaking of quarterbacks, I wonder why there is only one left handed quarterback it the NFL.


Yeah that is a good question...not sure. Did you know the circular huddle was invented so a deaf quarterback could give secret hand signals?


I did not know that. Interesting. So Russel Wilson is a quarterback who used to play for the MLB. They still have him under contract even though he has not played in a regular season game since 2011. He was even traded in 2018 to the Yankees from the Rangers.


Haha wow so odd. Why doesn't he just cancel it? Baker Mayfield was once a very good Halo 3 player and it almost took over his life lol!


I am not sure I really understand the full story. Brad Johnson is another interestig one, only quarterback to have thrown a touchdown pass to himself.


That is a great accomplishment. What team was that for? Alex Smith was a very smart high school student and he was drafted first overall in 2005.


I'm not sure what team. Speaking of high school, the football stadium in Allen, TX is extravagant. It cost $60 million to build.


Holy cow that is expensive. Lot of guacamole. I wonder how big the serra high school stadium is? That is where Tom Brady played.


It seats 18,000! Wonder if they fill that up.


Holy cats. That is really something. I wish that New Orleans Saints allowed their players to interact with players. Such a weird rule. Well it was so lovely talking with you today.


Seems like the NFL is filled with weird rules. Nice talking to you today!


Yes, I am.  What do you know about Lamar Jackson of the Ravens?


I don't know much, even though Baltimore is not too far.


Well, Jackson is a former Heisman Trophy winning QB from Louisville, who the Ravens traded up to take in the first round of the draft.


Interesting, did he set any records while in school?


He sure did. Only player in FBS history to rush for at least 1500 yds and pass for at least 3500 yds in a season, and he did that twice!


Interesting. Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy for that Yellow first down marker?


Yeah,, where would we be without it! It is almost as important to football these days as the huddle, that oh-so-familiar circling up of players around the QB to hide signal calling.


Did you know that in 60s bowlers made more than football stars?


Where did bowlers go wrong?  Apparently the popularity of football has exceeded bowling. I wonder if some other game will pass by football as the most popular soon? Perhaps gaming? Some pretty high profile college football players have considered not going pro in lieu of starting a career in gaming!


I think it just got old. If I were a college player and could go pro, I would go pro. You are only young once.


Yeah, but football makes you grow old more quickly than other games... If you are on the losing end of a lopsided loss, like the historic 222-0 tarring Georgia Tech gave Cumberland, you can grow old quickly...


That's true, even though there is only 11 minutes of game play. Pretty crazy, huh?


You can beak your neck a thousand times over within that time. And the NFL will have the event recorded via tracking chips in your equipment so that they can tell how quickly the train that hit you was going...


I think they also put chips in the football as well, but I'm not entirely sure what for. Any ideas?


To monitor speed, rotation, velocity, and location. Heck, they even monitor the location of cheerleaders in New Orleans, where they forbid them from dining in the same restaurant as any player. I wonder where they put the chips...In the pom poms?


Interesting. I think a lot of teams have that rule. Did you know that there is no written rule against female players?


Yeah, but there are minimum eligibility requirements that still need to be met, which eliminate most men...so, I wonder what percentage of the women qualify?


I think all they have to do is be good enough to play to be honest.


Yeah, but good enough to play in the National Football League is still a pretty high bar. I hope a lady does break that glass ceiling some day, and I also hope she keeps all of her teeth!


I try to, wish the super bowl would have been better this year, was just boring to me.


yeah well when you think about it the game only lasts 11 minutes


That is so unbelievable to me. Apparently the NFL has had only one left handed quarterback. do you know who it is?


No that's former patriot RB Benjarvus he never fumbled the ball in his career.


Yeah that's him, hard to believe that the nfl never produced another lefty.


yeah exactly there are so many players in there. did you know nfl is using chips on the player's padding?


For what? they are taking technology to far.


i think they record hits and their running to maybe work on better helmets and stuff


Just another way to spend money. Did you know that in the 60's top bowler made more than top nfl players?


that is crazy. good thing they make more now to make a decent living


Speaking of football the Iowa state universities visiting locker rooms are painted pink.


I wonder if there is a reason for that. did you know espn won an emmy?


Espn, yeah didn't it have something to do with first downs?


I think it was because the creation of the virtual superimposed yellow line


Oh yeah that's right made things easier if you were watching from home. 220-0 was the highest scoring game in college football.


what a win and a loss for the other team too


No that was the final score, i believe it was in 1916. do you know the teams?


What a difference. nice chatting with you


Not really. I watch it because my kids do. I was not impressed that ESPN won an emmy for those superimposed lines.


Oh really, I know my family loves football and goes to the games. I didn't realize there is only 11 minutes of live game play. But it makes sense.


I think its hilarious that the top bowlers in the 60's made more than football players.


I know, right!  Thinking the visiting teams don't like the pink locker rooms at the University of Iowa.


That is just dumb, lol. Is it true that the highest score ever was 222-0? Makes you wonder why the coaches didn't stop the game.


I was thinking the same. Why sit there that long never getting ahead. But that was 1916.


Yeah, They need to change that rule that the cheerleaders have to leave the restaurant if a NFL player comes in.


I agree. Baker Mayfield almost didn't become a Brown's player. He wanted to become a competitive player.


Really, They must feel there's too much togetherness in the same restaurant. lol


I think it's archaic and insulting. Especially since they have to get up and leave, even if they haven't finished their meal.


Omg! yes....At least have a plan before you got to the restaurant to prevent it.


Alex Smith entered college as a Junior. That's awesome he was able to take so many AP tests in high school.


Agree, he's smart too! Didn't know a deaf quarterback created the circular huddle. Those hand signals.


That is interesting. What do you think of the tracking chips in the balls? Seriously, those should have been used on "deflate gate".


You're right! and the shoulder pads. Great for tracking. I thought there was more than just one left handed quarterback.


I wouldn't know. I only follow Baker Mayfield, as I too am good at Halo 3


lol, really! Yeah, understand that! Have a nice night! Good chat!!


Hey, I like and pay some attention. How about you? Do you watch NFL?


yeah from time to time mainly superbowl. i mean it is only 11 minutes of actual game


It's very surprising about 11 minutes. Have you ever been on stadium?


No I just watch it from the tv. how about you?


I also just watch. Did you know that the NFL has no any written restrictions against female players, but they have to meet some requirements. I'm wondering what kind of requirements it could be


I tihink as long as they can pass the test like male players do they can play. I am not sure though


I also know that NFL player makes less that an engineer if we check lifelong time. It's something I also didn't know.


Yeah you think they get paid a lot but they do not really


It's just surprising, because there lot of money in this industry. Really really a lot


yeah . did you know about that rule of cheerleaders for the saints not being able to eat in the same restaurant as the players?


It sounds really weird. What if they already here with friends, family, etc? Just stupid rule. It doesn't make sense for me.


me either so strange. did you know university of iowa locker room is pink?


No, I didn't know. I didn't know that the highest score in history of football was 222-0, but long time ago. Did you know that?


No that must have been a really terrible loss. who was playing?


Georgia Tech against Cumberland. Georgia won


wow good for them what a win. do you have a favorite player position in the nfl?


Not really. I guess every position has some interesting aspects. But I know a lot of people like quarterback


yeah that is for sure. do you know alex smith?


Yes, I know something, but not a lot. Do you know something interesting about him?


he graduated in two years from college. it was nice chatting with you


Yes I do, I follow the NFL closely what about you?


from time to time. did you ewatch the superbowl?


I did watched the Superbowl my favorite team was playing, did you watch it? did anything special for the game?


we had a party so that was enjoyable. did you know women can play?


They can play? thats new for me, you know players have chips in their shoulders!


yeah that is so cool, can collect lots of statistics


I agree, it is cool, cool how tech can be implemented to a game, footballs also have tracking chips and you can learn all kinds of interesting stats out of them.


yeah. did you know engineers earn more than football players


I didnt, football players earn a lot of money so thats hard to believe I guess engineers also make a lot of money


yeah they do and I find that really fair actually


I think its fair as well afterall engineers study for a long time, its fair like ESPN winning an emmy for the yellow line that represents first down on football


yeah I guess. do you know the highest score of a football game?


I dont, whats the highest score in a football game?


222-0, that was a crazy win and loss for the other team


Wow, that is a ridiculous win 222-0, what team was bad enough to lose by that score?


georgia tech beat the cumberlands, what a win


I agree, did Cumberland retire from football after that defeat? I know I would lol


I see, well did you ever watched Benjarvus Green Ellis play?


no but i know he never fumbled a football. nice chat


I do. Some call it the National Football League. I call it the Never Football League, since they only actually play a few minutes in each game.


I know only 11 minutes of play time yet we are glued to the tv for so long watching those 11 minutes


Over 17 weeks, that means one team only plays 189 minutes per year. And if you are a punter, maybe 3 minutes?


something like that. did you know women can actually play if they want


Like any sane woman would want that?  You know they televise the players age and weight every week?


I think it is more about the violence in the sport. It is a dangerous sport really


Yes it is. They put tracking chips in the helmets so that they can tell the spouses the precise velocity of the helmet that caused the concussion.


yeah the technology even for sports has come a really long way now


Yeah, they monitor the speed of the football, the location of every player, and whether cheerleaders are in the same retaurant as the players...a no-no if you are a Saint!


I find that really strange and they even have to leave mid-meal if the players walk in


I hope they at least get a doggie bag!  Bowlers don't have to put up with such rules! You know, back in the day, bowlers made more money than NFL players, but that was years ago...


yeah that is interesting too. speaking of football, espn won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line


A virtual line. That means they got an Emmy for nothing. The players do all the work and they get recognized for imaginary lines.


I know right? do you have a favorite player position in nfl?


Depends on the team. 32 teams and they all play the game a little diferent. On a running-centric team, I admire the tailback and fullback positions, as well as the offensive linemen. On a throwing team, the QB is often the most admired. How about you?


yeah i am going to go witht he quarterback too. did you know brady was never put in the game in high school


Wow. Epic fail for that coach. You know, Brady's fellow teammate, Ellis-Green, never fumbled the ball even once during his entire career as a running back with the Patriots?  That is admirable!


Smart dude! He had earned so many AP credits in HS that the college took him as a Junior. Now he uses his brain in the huddle as QB in the NFL...


Good for him talent and brains. nice chatting with you


I have never been fond of sports in general. Are you referring to gridiron foot ball, like we have in


Yes, I am. I'm not such a fan of football either. Football has gained so much popularity in the last few decades. In the 60s, topbowlers made twice as much as the top football stars.


A current NFL player makes less in a lifetime than an engineer, But an NFL player probably works alot less years.


That's true. The football players have to learn to manage their money well for the rest of their lives. I assume that's difficult for many.


that is probably true for most sports, The engineer makes more than a MLB in their liftimes.


Following everything that goes on on the field in football is hard for me when I watch. Sometimes I wonder how scoring can be objective. It's interesting to know that players and footballs have tracking chips.


Having the yellow line for the first down makes it easier to watch.


Yes, you're right about that. It's interesting that ESPN won an emmy for creating that!


The technology makes it more fun and easier to follow.  I wonder what they use the the chips in foot balls and shoulderpads to do.


The shoulder pad chips record the players every move and the footballs have tracking for velocity, ball speed, rotation and location. Technology is neat!


they spend lots of effort to track stuff in the 11 minute or so of live game play.


Right, it is crazy how little game play there actually is. Maybe that's part of the reason I do not like football.


The quarterback touches the football for most offensive plays, but that doesn't mean the other players have much contact with the ball in the 11 minutes.


There is a lot of pressure on being a quarterback. I guess that's why they are paid more.


It was a deaf quarterback who invented the circular huddle, so the other team couldnt read his signals.


That's interesting to know and cool that they continue to use this method.


Most quarterbacks are right handed, there is only one leftie currently in the NFL.


Interesting. I wonder why that is. Do you think that pep talks help lead into victory? Swearinger of the Redskins certainly does. His teammates say he is a fire starter and a maniac but it seems to help them win.


Usuaal calling a person "Crazy" and a "Fire starter" are not compliments but his teammate used those phrases as a compliment.


Right. It's fun to see how passionate some NFL players are about their game.


Some what but i don't get to watch it anymore like i use to.


I hear that.  Out of the 32 teams do you have a favorite?  I'm a Steelers fan.


I was Green bay when i watched. They have 16 weeks of game play and each team gets a week off.


Nice.  I like how Green Bay is owned by the community.  The NFL has no written rule against female players.  Maybe one day we'll see one on the field.  Maybe as a kicker?


That's possible although im surprised we haven't already. Personally i think they should have their own league like the wnba.


They did at one time.  I used to watch it a few years ago but it seemed like it was more for show.  They wore shoulder pads but at the same time they were wearing shorts to show off their legs.  Can't remember the league name.  Did you know that there is only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay in an average NFL game?


I did know that and it is hard to believe. The tracking chips are also in the footballs as well as the shoulder pads.


Seems like they are getting way too deep analyzing the game.  Did you know that ESPN won an emmy for creating the superimposed yellow first down line?


I did and that line brought me great joy, lol. The super bowl is usually played the first week of February.


Yes. I look forward to the Super bowl every year.  Do you know what the highest scoring football game ever was?


It was a college game in 1916.  Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0.  Talk about a blowout.


Wow, i would have not wanted to be on that bus ride home and sure it was the longest ride ever. You know that the Iowa universities visiting locker room is painted pink?


lol yes. They must have did that to try to mess with the opponants.  How about Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?  He has never fumbled the ball once during his career!


Now that is an achievement! Do you know if he is in the hall of fame for that?


I don't know.  Curious to find out though.  There is only one left handed QB in the NFL and that is Kellan Moore.  I'm not familiar with him.


Me either. did you know at one point bowlers made twice as much as top nfl players?


I didn't.  I wonder what the pay difference is now?  Did you know that the circular huddle was created by Paul Hubbard who was deaf so the other team could not read his hand signals?


Oh ok that makes sense. It was in the 60's that top bowler made twice as much. I doubt that they make any where as much as them now.


I bet they are nowhere close. lol  Baker Mayfield almost quit football to pursue a full time career in competitive video game playing.  That would have been crazy.  It was nice chatting with you.


I do was a little disappointed with the superbowl though.


Well i was rooting for the rams but i would have liked to have seen a better game.


That makes sense. Who is your favorite team?


well if i had to pick between the redskins or bucks i would probably go with the skins. You?


I am from Chicago so I love the bears. Do you watch football a lot?


I never get the chance to as i am always busy. I heard that the only left handed quarterback is Kellan Moore.


That is true, although I find it hard to believe. So if not sports, what do you do in your spare time?


Don't really have any at the moment. Did you know that there is a former patriot that has never fumbled the ball.


That's crazy. Or that the University of Iowa's visitor's locker room is painted pink.


I guess that's a psychological thing. every bit helps i guess.


GA tech beat cumberland 222-0. I wonder if they have a pink locker room?


Wow that game was bake in 1916 right? ESPN won an award for the superimposed yellow line representing the first down.


Seems like a low bar to win an emmy. NFL games only have 11 minutes of action.


Now that was hard to believe. almost as hard as the fact that bowler in the 60's made more than NFL players.


yeah. Or that the NFL uses chips to track player movement.


I think that's taking it way to far. kind of like new Orleans cheerleaders having to leave a restaurant if a player comes in.


Is it true Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL?


I think so! I always get him mixed up with Kellylanne Conway when I hear the name, though. Do you think NFL is watched over there at the White House?


Oh Jeez! Probably!  I guess the Cowboys are one happy NFL team now after the Amari Cooper trade. Have you heard about it?


I have not heard of that I've been Netflix binging lately. I had no idea alex smith was such an educated guy.


Well, it's not really big news. I guess the Cowboys are happy because the Redskins were leading but then they overtook them. I wonder if it was an epic football game?


It would be nice to see the cowboys win a championship again. I like the history behind the huddle being to help a deaf quarterback.


Yes, I remember learning about how the huddle started in school! Very smart!  I was reading that the Cowboys have so much confidence lately in the NFL that they think their defense is unstoppable.


Those are some big words thinking they are unstoppable. Can you ever imagine a game score reaching anywhere near 222-0 like the georgia tech v cumberland?


I can't imagine! The losing team must have been very embarrassed. I don't think I've ever seen an NFL or any other sports game at all with a score even close to that. Have you?


No that would be ridiculous. Everyone in management would have to be replaced.


I think one of the most famous NFL quarterbacks is Tom Brady? I remember something about a football family comprised of a Dad and two sons that's super famous, too. I think it's the Mannings.


oh yes the manning another great football name. those guys were awesome. I think one of the brothers still plays.


I remember now, one of the brothers is Eli short for Elisha Manning. Unique name. I think quite a few football players have unique names such as Jake Butt of the Broncos.


Yeah at least those were their given names and not something like Chad Ocho Cinco because of his number.


That's true! I think Amari Cooper has had many injuries in his NFL career. I'm surprised the Cowboys are so happy about that wide receiver; the risk of re injury seems high in football games.


Yeah the sport has sped up a lot and coming back from an injury always puts you at a higher risk of it happening again.


I think Cooper came from the Raiders to the Cowboys?


Yes I think thats how it worked out. So is there really chips inside players shoulder pads?


I think so! The NFL even has those chips in the actual footballs. I wish I could have thought of that idea! Who knows how advanced football with be in a few decades, right?


No joke. Can you imagine if helmets were still just made of leather. Collissions could become lethal.


That would be terribly dangerous! I think I've heard the NFL doing education courses as to how to still make contact but avoid injury. Strategic, almost like martial arts. Hope they teach young football players, too!


I watched parts of the last superbowl. I have a passing knowledge and passing interest in football so I am on and off


Nice. did you know university of iowa has oainted the visitor locker room pink


I have no idea, maybe discourage them in some way


Indeed, perhaps it is a mental thing to catch them off guard. So are you familiar with the nfl?


yeah with some of it. i know football players used to make less than bowlers back in the day


I couldn't believe that the average nfl game is only 11 minutes


I know yet we are glue to the tv for hours on end


I admit a lot and I mean a lot of action goes on in those few minutes. I mean the nfl is even putting chips in the ball and shoulder pads to get better data


yeah that must come  in handy. espn won an award , an emmy


I admit their yellow line which they got an emmy for definitely made the game much more digestible for the audience


seems that way. do you know what the highest score in history is?


I'm not sure but it must have been at least a difference of 150


it was 222-0, georgia tech beat the cumberlands


I wonder if georgia tech was just that good, cumberlands was that bad, or perhaps a bit of both


That does sound most plausible. Georgia tech must have had talents like tom brady or green ellis


Not sure who played in their team but must have been boring to watch too


True. Perhaps surprising until 50 pts, entertaining until 100 pts, and dull until 222 points


Good evening.  Are you a football fan?  Did you know there is actually a new league starting tonight?


No, I did not know that.  I don't watch a lot of football, but I do know some intereesting bits of trivia about it.  Honestly, playing the game was more my brother's gig.  He got a football scholarship in college.  Did you know for instance, the highest score ever in a football game was 222-0?  Can you imagine been beat THAT badly?  Yikes!


I can't even imagine a score like that!  If you (or your brother) are curious, it's called the Alliance of American Football and it's actually connected to the NFL now.


I did hear they were also trying to revive the XFL, that's the football league run by the WWE wrestling organization.  Never caught it the first time around, so I can't say if bringing it back is a good idea or not...


I think that is scheduled for 2020 so the spring will be interesting.  Did you happen to catch the Super Bowl?  It seems like it's one of the rare single-elimination finales in our US sports.


No I didn't see it, heard it wasn't the greatest though.  They even griped about the group performing at Half Time (Maroon 5) although I understand they had a hard time even gettting anyone to perform.  Wonder if the commercials were any good this year though...


It was a defensive struggle, Maroon 5 was really just Adam Levine showing off, and the commercials were rather bland.  It's crazy to think that in terms of actual gameplay, the halftime show was longer as an average NFL game just has about 11 minutes of live action.


11 minutes?  It's hard to believe there's so little actual action in a game!  Wonder if any of the teams played any tricks on each other, like how University of Iowa has their visiting team's locker room painted pink!  Hehe...


Being from Nebraska I know all about Iowa's ploy to gain any psychological advantage!


Yeah, it's kind of interesting... they've done studies and found color's really do effect people psychologically.  REad about an experiment where they painted a weight room pink and they found the lifters couldn't lift as much as they normally could.  Crazy, huh?


Yep!  Another crazy thing to me is that bowlers used to make more than football players!


Oh yeah, that was back when bowling was a HUGE thing  They'd even have celebrity bowling TV shows and stuff.  Seems grossly unfair though, given how injury prone football players are.


Absolutely.  Especially when you factor in that despite all football players seem to make, an engineer makes more over a lifetime.


Neat little facto.. there's actually NO rule against women being football players in the NFL.  If they met the league's eligibility requirements, they could sign right up.  Not sure if that'll happen though...


It does seem like a stretch due to the physical differences.  It is interesting that apparently a woman can play for the NFL, but a Saints cheerleader has to leave a restaurant if a Saints player comes in.


Oh, wow, guess they're serious about the two not fraternizing.


They must be!  I wonder which group it protects?  They definitely invest in their players.  Did you know they have made chips to track about every movement on the field a player makes?


Yeah, I heard about that... they've got a chip in the ball as well... probably makes it easier to go statistics and whatnot.  Especially since it can keep track of velocity, rotation and speed.


Amazing how far it's come.  I bet there was a time just getting a radio broadcast of the game was huge!


I remember back when all they had was Madden using the white "chalk" lines and now they've got all these cool graphics and stuff to help everyone keep track of what's going on... it's pretty amazing.


Thanks for the chat!  It's time for some football!


Yes I do. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


I wonder if that is supposed to have some effect on the players


I wonder too. Bowlers make more money than them though in the 60s


I guess football was not that popular back in the day either though


True. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


Yes that is Georgia Tech beating CUmberland 222-0


Yeah and that was way back in 1916 and is still a record


Yeah. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


Yes that was for the superimposed yellow line


Yeah. Did you know Banjarvus Green-ELlis never fumbled the ball?


Wow, what a guy. Do you listen to the radio?


Yes I do. You can listen to Jupiter's storms in am radio


Nice. Do you ever listen to Canadian radios?


Yes sometimes but they play a lot of music from canadian artists


Yes they are required to do that by law, 40% of it has to be canadian


True. Do you now how soldiers made foxhole radios during WWII?


Yes they used pencils and razorblades to make those


Yes there is a free website where you can listen to them too


Yes that is so convenient. Nice chatting with you.


Actually, I don't. Only for big games like the Super Bowl etc. Did you know the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay??


I know isn't that crazy as long as a game lasts. Did you know in the 60's bowlers made twice as much as the top football players.


Now that is pretty awesome. I like bowling. Think it takes as much skill as football. I didn't realize girls could play in the NFL if they met the eligibility requirements.


I think guys would give them a hard time but it's cool. And if they are on the University of Iowa visiting team they get a pink locker room


That would be great. Can't say I like the rules about the MO Saints' cheerleaders. Apparently they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player already in the restaurant. Plus if a player comes in after, the cheerleaders have to leave. Unbelievable!


I think that is crazy. If they are at away game what are the chances of them running into a player at a restaurant. I wonder if they enforce it.


I wonder why it is a rule. Something must have happened to cause them to come up with that one!


That is true. And I think it is interesting that NFL uses tracking chips in their players shoulder pads


All in all, I think football is pretty scientific with all the plays and strategies they come up with. Those chips track all their moves and helps the coaches design their moves. Pretty genius.


True. Can you believe there was a game of a score of 222-0. How is that even possible.


Either GA Tech was really good or Cumberland was really bad. How about Patriots' running back Benjarvus who never fumbled the ball in his entire career?


That is a great accomplishment. Did you know ESPN won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line.


That is pretty cool. I need all the TV explanations that go on during the games. Otherwise I would be so lost sometimes. ESPN is the channel we watch for all sports.


I like ESPN for some things. I got ESPN 2 for UFC events and it has not been a good experience.


That's too bad. Did you hear that the Cardinals' Adrian Peterson is buying his linemen mattresses because they did so well in the last game. I guess they were pretty horrible before. He wants to make sure they sleep well. :)


That is nice of him to do. NFL players make a lot of money but it's interesting that Engineers make more money than NFL players


They use a lot of brain power! BTW, I meant to say the Redskins not Cardinals. :)


Yes I do. I have a long commute to work so the radio keeps me sane! Hey nice chatting. Have a great rest of the day!


Hello!  Yes big fan here!  How about you?


I love the NFL as well. Did you know they have no written rule against females playing?


I would like to see a girl play.  Be nice.  The university of Iowa painted their visitors locker rooms pink.  Must have been to mess with the other team.


That would be cool. I wonder if the pink locker room actually affected the team at all?


I doubt it.  lol  In the 1960's someone would have been better off to be a top bowler rather than a top football star of the day because bowlers made twice as much money as the footballers did.


Wow that's pretty amazing. I would have never guessed that. I bet bowlers don't make a whole lot these days.


I bet nowhere near as much as the players.  However, the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are more than the earnings of an average football player.


That's interesting. I guess because NFL careers are usually pretty short.


That would be my guess.  Do you know what the highest score ever was for a college football game?


I saw it was 222-0. That is just insane!


Talk about a blowout!  I was surprised to find out that there is actually only 11 minutes of live gameplay per an average NFL game.  I thought it would have been a little more than that.


I can't believe it's only 11 minutes of gameplay. I would have never guessed  that. Must be all of the huddles and play calling.


Yes and tv timeouts. lol  How about RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis.  The former Patriots running back never fumbled the ball once in his NFL career.


That's pretty amazing to never fumble your entire career.


I know.  I wonder how many carries he had?  Did you know that ESPN won an emmy for the superimposed yellow first down line you see while watching games?


I have no idea. Do you listen to the radio?


I love listening to the radio!  How about you?


I do too. Especially in my commute into work. Did you know Jupiter has radio storms so strong they can be heard on Earth?


Same here.  I actually listen to a lot of sports talk radio.  I didn't know that about Jupiter.  How cool is that?


Actually, no, I don't listen very often anymore. I think I got turned off by all the advertisements. Still, the way it works is fascinating in how it's transformed in its original form


Yeah for sure. You can even catch Jupiter's storm in the AM .


I guess it's a large planet that can still reach us here on Earth. There are websites now that let you listen to classic radio dramas.


That is so nice and it is free. Do you know much latin?


Most consider it a dead language, but apparently in Finland, some still know it enough for there to be a news program in classical Latin


I really wonder how many listeners they have considering latin is a dead language.


I know a school that still teaches it, so maybe not as dead as we are told. In Canada, at least 40% of the music you'll hear is Canadian since it's a law there


That is one way to support local and national artists. In the earlier times soldiers used to make radios using razorblades and pencils


I wonder what kind of information they could pick up. The radio definitely isn't as popular as it used to be. Back in the day, people would use it to listen to sports events like that of the MLB and NFL


Yeah, I would like to know that too. Do you watch football now on TV?


I typically only watch a handful of playoff games and the Super Bowl. What's cool is how they use embedded chips in the shoulder pads and footballs to track speed and all that. It makes sense


Yeah they might be able to use that info for so many things. At the end of it, in a game of nfl the game time is only 11 minutes.


Which isn't very long when you think about it. Some people make a big deal about how much money they make, but the average engineer will earn more in a lifetime


Yeah, I heard a player teaches in the off season to makes ends meet.


Wow. I guess the season only lasts 17 weeks of games. Apart from training, they have a lot of time off


and sometimes they have strange rules. new orleans cheerleaders cannot eat in the same restaurant as the nfl players.


Maybe the wives requested that one. Usually the rules exist due to prior problems. There's no rule against women playing, but I'm not sure if any have tried


Yeah I wonder about that. At least f they want, they can try for it


Sounds like a risk of injury. The playoffs in the NFL are much quicker than that of the MLB since it's single elimination


That is true. It was nice chatting with you.


Good, how about you? Are you a football fan?


if there is money in it, i am. i like to watch the game for gambling. you?


I play fantasy, which is partially gambling, and I bet on the super bowl. who would have bet the highest score for a football game was georgia tech defeating cumberland 222-0?


that was a blow out. i figure that GT had something to prove to cumberland. i dont know what, but they proved it.


that must have been a lot of fun for the teams. good experience. a learning experience for everyone involved. i envy them


Probably sad for Cumberland lol, but yea they can learn from it


They can learn that football is not their sport.


lol yes, I didnt realize the average nfl game has only 11 minutes of actual gameplay


the players union has ensured that work time is minimal. the fans are steamed about it but what can they do? put in other players?


I dunno, to be honest, I dont know that players would take much more than 11 minutes of high speed contact.


with the chips in their pads, we can monitor them until it is too much, then put in other players. technology allows us to maximize gameplay.


Yup. Also makes for good explanations on TV


yes, i figure that the fans deserve to know the exact time and place that each concussion happens. they paid a lot of money so the data should be there.


For medical reasons, too. And to show the speed of athletes.


i guess the athletes are in danger on the field. they should be protected. i think that genetic engineering is a good way to build stronger players. the nfl should start an engineering firm to build the better player.


Be ready for the first sub 4.0 40 yard dash


that is just a matter of time and engineering. i know that we will have the first supersprinter in the world. anyway, great chat! keep on running!


Imagine a 250 pound guy running 4 second 40. Kinda scary.


i imagine a 500 pound guy running that speed. the possibilities are endless. the fans will be in awe. have a good day!


Good Morning!! Sweet....Football, NFL, and radio...I'm good to talk about any of them...your choice on this blustery winter day!


It is really getting cold here! What a great conversation starter! You like football?


I love football here in Cleveland Ohio! But, I  wish the Saints would've made it in.


Hi! I'm in SE Ohio. I do too. Do you follow the eagles at all?


I know about the Eagles. My brother doesn't live too far from there...he's in Lancaster. I don't know about that QB Carson Wentz though...guy can't stay healthy.


Thats true. Always getting hurt. I'm more Appalachia then Columbus. Could you imagine a football score of 220 now? That would be impossible!


LOL....not playing against the Browns it wouldn't for the last 20 years. That's an awful lot of Football scoring! What city you live in?


I remember how big Lebron James was when he came home to cleveland. We thought he was going to make Cleveland big. Around Cambridge.


Oh, heck. My brother used to live in Coshocton...you're not far from me at all. Yes, Lebron was huge! And we were big for a year at least. Not really caring for the National Football League and their refs this year...I feel like the Super Bowl was rigged in the teams they got.


I agree. Seems really strange. Do you remember when they started using those yellow lines on the TV for football? ESPN won an emmy for that!


No kidding? I never knew it won an Emmy.  It makes it easier seeing the first down though.


It does. I have family Cuyahoga Falls. Green- Ellis has neve fumbled a ball!


I think you just jinxed him...LOL. Cuyahoga Falls isn't a bad town. I'm thinking on moving there. And I might listen to the Super Bowl on the radio if I can't get my TV to work.


That a good idea. There is a lot of train traffic though, so you may have to turn the radio or TV up a bit! Would you watch a female NFL league?


perhaps? Football I think is rough for anyone to be playing. Though, I've known some women in my life that could definitely play.


:) An NFL game only has 11 minutes of live play. I think women could do it.


Yes, I've heard about that only 11 minutes of gameplay thing. Odd...it usually takes me a 6-pack of beer to watch all 11 minutes of live football!


I figure it takes that for a lot of people! Do you think your radio will work in Cuyahoga Falls? Radio waves will have to go thru a lot of metal around there.


I didn't realize Cuyahoga Falls had that bad of a problem. My radio would probably pick up Cleveland stations. Hey! I'm glad we had this talk! Have a really Great day!


Welp, back to the frigid weather. The radio said it's going down to -4 tomorrow


I know it. I'm already dressed in layers for today!


Hi! I LOVE watching football. My favorite team is the Green Bay Packers. How about  you?


oh I love the Patriots, I love watching the games but its sad but true theres only 11 mins of gameplay on average in the whole game


That's crazy once you think about it! The games last for about 3 hours and they only play for 3. Makes me wonder how in shape they truly are then lol


haha good question!, what are your thoughts on the chips that the NFL uses to track players?


I never knew about that until now and I don't like it! There's already replay allowed, I don't need every player tracked to tell me more info.  What do you think of it?


ya it is scary, its good for stats because it shows velocity and rotation and stuff, I just want to keep it on the field ya know


Very true! What do you think about the highest scoring game as coming from college? Crazy high too!


ya that score is insane! 222-0 CUmberland must have felt horrible


I'm surprised Georgia Tech even kept trying...at that point I think you'd give pity.  Do you prefer to watch games on tv or listen to them on the radio?


well I like to watch games, I dont use the radio much, do you?


I prefer to watch the games. It's difficult when they're talking about players numbers and position on the field to envision it all at once.


right I agree with you, good thing ESPN created the yellow line, it makes it easier to follow the games on tv


I love the yellow line! What do you think about "football" in other countries...aka soccer or rugby?


well I don't like it myself, I like football, but yes I'm glad ESPN won an emmy for that!


I enjoy watching soccer during the world cup or in olympics, but that's about it.  Funny what an emmy can be won for!


thats true, do you ever watch bowling on tv?


No, I'm not a fan of watching bowling, but I do enjoy going bowling at times. What do you think about the Saints cheerleaders having to leave a restaurant if a player comes in?


ya I think thats really dumb and outdated, I'm shocked they don't sue or sometihing over that, everyone is so sue happy these days


Yes. It's bad enough that they can't be in the same restaurant, but to have to leave when you were there first...barbaric!


I agree with you on that, they should use the radio to warn each other where they will be at all times haha


hi, how are you? do you listen to the radio?


Hey there I do listen to the radio sometimes, I didn't know that you could create a radio out of a razor blade in a pencil though, did you know that?


i did not know that. i wonder how good that radio is though. what can it pick up?


Yes I have no idea how it works. But I do know that they used it in World War II


That is quite inventive in any case. I dont listen to radio much now. i did when i was younger.


Yes I agree. I mostly just listen to YouTube when I'm in the car. Do you ever listen to Canadian radio by the way?


I have listened to canadian radio. it is mostly like american radio.


The one thing that is different is that it is required to have 40% Canadian conent, so that means that 40% of the radio time is made up of Canadian artists


Yeah, i remember hearing a lot of rush, neil young, loverboy. That makes sense.


Yeah and there's probably some Justin Bieber being played too haha. Would you ever listen to a Jupiter radio storm on your radio by the way?


I cant imagine listening to a storm on Jupiter. maybe the solar activity on the Sun?


Yeah that might be interesting, it also might be interesting to listen to a new station that is red in classical Latin because I would not understand any of it LOL


How many people actually listen to broadcast, i wonder. It is an odd taste, thats for sure.


Yes I wonder how many people can understand classical Latin these days, and apparently there is a online radio station that will play thousands of episodes of radio dramas, and they are completely free, I wonder if they are any good


I would rather listen to those old radio shows. they sound more intereesting. i dont think the kids are interested though.


No I think you're right unfortunately. on a separate note though, do you ever listen to football on the radio? apparently women are allowed to play for the NFL if they are good enough


I dont listen to football on the radio. i used to listen to baseball on the radio. Women in the NFL? i wonder if that will ever happen.


Yeah I don't know. But I also don't know how an average NFL game only has about 10 minutes of Live gameplay, especially since it seems to take hours to watch on TV LOL


Yeah, the spectacle draws a lot of interest, but really it is short lived. i just watch the highlights. that is enough. Anyway, great chat!


Yes great chat. And next time you're watching again look out for the tracking chips that the NFL puts in the player shoulder pads, they can tell all kinds of stats just from how those chips are moving like velocity and rotation!


Thank you you too! And keep in mind that the NFL was created 1920, it's so long ago so that probably explains their crazy rules


Hi, how are you? Are you following the Colin Kaepernick/Eric Reid drama?


Reid, 26 year old pick out of LSU, played some linebacker out of necessity in 2017


Yes he did. He is in the middle of a lawsuit against the NFL for collusion. SInce he is a top safety, I think he has a good case...


He tweet " people who know football know who can play. people who know me, know my character".


Yeah, he's really talented and shouldn't have been out of the league at all. For a simple protest not to kil African Americans at a disproportional rate compared to whites.


Football is a family of team sports that involve, but we become one nation to achieve for the nation.


Although some find him cowardly, I find Kaepernick extremely brave for giving up football to take a stand against police killing his people. What are your thoughts.


He is best player but the football missed him very much.


Yeah. I get sad when people bang on him but I find him strong and able to start the movement. I find more white people unwilling to learn about him and the movement, which makes it tough to argue with them...


Television sometimes shortened to tele is a great communication medium.


Yes, it is. Is there a favorite communication meidum that you like?


Very much. Television is a mass medium for advertising.


That's interesteding. I really like to watch sports on tv. Do you?


For watching football only i buy the TV. What your favourate team ?


I am from Chicago and move the bears. What about you?


Sorry, love the Chciago Bears. I do enjoy tennis. You? Are you watching the Australian open on tv?


Some time i watch it.  Wimbledon is my favourite tournament.


Nice... I want to eventually go and watch that tournament. I think it would be fun. But I also think I would be soooo hot in the stands. Is tennnis your favorite sport?


yes, Its one man show. Strong body and mental required for it.


I didn't know that there is only 1 episode of "The Simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned


Well, I much less, I find out. And I see that program, I like it


Did you know that the highest score in football game was 222-0, but it was really while ago. It's surprising fact.


Yes, I had read something in particular about it, it's something surprising. They should have played alone in the field, that team weighed the other


I was always surprised that there isn't any written rule against female players in NFL. And still don't understand why women don't play


It's a very strange thing, there are many women capable for these types of sports, but good.


I agree. Well, maybe with average NFL game only 11 minutes of live gameplay, it's not interesting for ladies.


There will come a time when the first will be encouraged and so will the others


did you know that New orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player


How curious is that? Well, I have some thought of some because of it, but. What do you think?


I think it's kind of stupid and old style rule. It doesn't make any sense.


Well, I suppose it's because of creating bonds in the middle of all this, it's not good for players to have their head in something else


:) it could be true. However, to require to leave a place when NFL player comes... well,I'm not sure in that...


We are not sure of anything, they are pure speculations ... But we must not remove the possibility


true. Did you know that locker room for visiting team in the University of Iowa is completely painted pink?


Or yes, yes ... Also today something about this, it is rumored that it is for the visiting team to know that they are better and this feels less


some people may call it as sort of pressure, but I'm not sure.


To me that could cause me rather desire to cover their mouths and beat them to learn. But hey, all this is part of the show


Well of course. What is worth there is the best performance, the better the teams, the better the matches


Yes! My pleasure to talk with you. Have a good day!


I do actually, Did you know that women can play too?


Yes there is not rule that prevents them from playing


Yes as long as they can meet the requirements they are good to play


Yeah. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of gameplay?


yeah and yet we are glued to the tv for hours


Yeah. Did you know engineers make more money though over the lifetime?


Well they do have longer careers too though so that makes sense


Yeah they have more time to make money if you think it that way


Yeah. Did you hear of that rule for Saints cheerleaders?


Yes they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the players


Yes and worst, they also have to leave mid meal when they walk in


Yeah it is sexist and it needs to go really


I agree. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


WOw I wonder if that is supposed to have some impact on them


I wonder too. Bowlers made more money in the 60s that football players


Wow I guess it was a much more popular sport back in the day than football


Yeah true. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


Yes it is 222-0 and Georgia Tech beat Cumberland


Yeah what a score that must have been even for 1916


Yeah that is crazy good. Nice chatting with you.


What do you think about Eric Reid? You think people are not signing him because he's bad or because he won't stand for the national anthem


I would think that would be a reason why teams weren't signing the 2013 first round pick out of LSU.


Yep I think so. Him and Colin Kaepernick definitely got the short end of the straw after they started their activism


Yes they did.  They first did it before a game in Sept. of 2016 and have had nothing but problems since then.


Yep it's interesting that he had an 8.4 million dollar contract and he essentially threw it away by refusing to stand


Wow.  I didn't now how much it cost him.  I do know though that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher compared to that of the lifetime earnings of an average NFL or MLB player.


Yep you're right about that. Also the average NFL game only last for about 10 minutes of actual gameplay, the rest is just referees and standing around LOL


LOL For that short amount of time, they do a good job of dragging it out to 3 hours.  Did you know there's no written rule against female players?  I wonder if we'll see on at some point...maybe a kicker?


That's what I'm thinking, we could probably see a kicker, I just hope that she can attend a restaurant with other players, unlike cheerleaders, they're not allowed and they have to leave if a football player enters the restaurant


That is the strangest rule.  What do you think of the tracking chips they are using to record data in players shoulder pads and footballs?  Seems like they're are really getting technical.


I think it's interesting that they can track the stats like rotation and speed, I just hope they can turn the tracking off once the players leave the field


Yes.  Do you know what the highest scoring football game ever was?


Yes it was between Georgia Tech and Cumberland right? Wasn't the score like 222 to 0 or something crazy


Holy smokes!  That's a blowout.  In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars of that era.  Times have changed since then.


Yep it's definitely the reverse these days. Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy? They did it when they created the yellow line it shows first downs on TV broadcasts of football games


I didn't know they won one for that.  I love that line.  Changed the way we watch football.  Do you watch a lot of television?


Yes I watch television from time to time, I really like watching Pokemon because it reminds me of my childhood, they're almost 800 episodes now


Wow.  My kids were really into it (and even now they are in their 20s they still love it haha).  Did you ever watch that 70s show?


Yes I used to watch that show a lot. What I don't like is that they try to recreate it in the UK Market. It actually flopped over there LOL


LOL I heard about that.  They called it Days Like These.  Did you know that in the Simpsons there is only 1 episode that Bart isn't in and isn't mentioned?


That's what I heard but I never saw that episode, do you think they just forgot about him? What do you think about the episode of Southpark where they made fun of Family Guy? Afterwards The Simpsons Creator sent the South Park creators a set of flowers


I sure do. Did you know that women can play too?


Yes there are no rules that prevent them from playing


Right, as long as they qualify for the game they can play


Yeah. The average game play is only 11 minutes anyways


Exactly and yet we are glued to the tv forever


I know. Did you know engineers earn more than the players though


Yes I guess their careers are also longer so that makes sense


True. Did you hear of that Saint cheerleaders rule?


The one that they are not allowed to eat in the same place as the players?


Yeah and they also have to leave mid meal if they walk in


it is so sexist and it really need to go by now


I agree. They are also using tracking chips on the players now


yes they collect info on velocity and rotation and a bunch of stuff


I hope they can use that to make the game safer too


Good point. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


I wonder if that is supposed to have some impact on the players


Yeah me too. Bowlers made more than football players in the 60s


That blows my mind how things have changed now


Hey how are you, do you watch football much?


Cool,  me too. Can you believe bowlers got paid more in the 60s than did the NFL players?


That is crazy.  Did you know espn invented the yellow line?


I did, I think they won an emmy for it too didn't they? Who is your favorite team?


RaiderNation here and Antonio Brown!!!  Maybe we can score 222 points like georgia tech now.


Haha, score a few more points than Cumberland did. AB84 to the Raiders is pretty cool, he seems like  a Raider for sure.


I knew as of Friday.  A bunch of Raider fans who are also Warrior fans saw him at the Warriors game.  He got Currys jersey from him!


That's cool, it is always nuts to remember that the Warriors play in Oakland, they seem like 2 very different teams.


Not as of next Season.  They will be next to the SF Giants lol.  I bet Lebron could play in NFL haha.  Probably not fumble like benjavus green-ellis!


LeBron would be unstoppable as a TE for sure, he'd never fumble either. What do you mean by the SF Giants will be close to them?


They are moving to a new Arena.  It is almost done.


Ah I gotcha, the Raiders are going to Las Vegas the year after next right?


Yeah, good thing there is only 11 minutes of actual play.  It might be hot there lol.


It'll be getting really hot there. Do you watch a lot of TV?


No worries.  It is inside.  I was kidding.  Yes I watch tv but I stream more.


Yah, TV channels and stations are kind of rip offs now, you have to pay a ton of money each month and still watch a ton of commercials, not a very good deal. You ever watch any of the 750 episodes that were made of the show Pokemon?


It will take me 16 years if I watched one a week


That's a really long time for sure. I was rather surprised to hear that there are only two types of TVs still, black and white and colored TV. Pretty soon there'll be VR TV lol.


I can watch Netflix already with my VR headset!  I want to find that UK knock off of the 70's show lol.


That would be pretty cool, what if we're already in VR now though? Kind of freaky. I'm going to go for a walk though, it was great to chat with you, hope you have a great rest of the day!


I sure do. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


really? That is too funny! I bet the visitors love that! Do you like the Cowboys football team at all?


To be honest I do not have a favorite team, just enjoy watching the games


Oh, I am the same way. I was reading an article about the Cowboys player Dak Prescott and his stance on protests during a football games national anthem. He says he feels at peace at games and won't protest with some other players , pretty interesting.


I see that is interesting. Did you know that bowlers used to make more than football players  in the 60s?


They did? That is odd lol, you would never think that! Just like I couldn't believe the football game that was won with a score of 222-0 that had to be a crazy game!


I know Georgia Tech made history by beating Cumberland back in 1916


Exactly! I like the fact that the NFL has no written rules against a female becoming a player, as long as they meet all eligibility requirements. I wonder if there has ever been a female football player.


I wonder too. ANd I mean there are only 11 minutes of game play so maybe it is not that bad after all


True, but I wouldn't want to get tackled by a 250 pound man either lol, players can get as many as 60 hits per game....no way lol, that's a lot. I would rather be an engineer and make more money than an NFL player does lol.


Yeah I guess it makes more sense since engineers have longer careers as well


Yep, but they keep their body and brain intact for sure. Football is a rough sport. I wouldn't even want to be a Saints Nfl cheerleader, they can't even eat at the same restaurant as the players...


Yes and the worst part is that they are required to leave mid meal too if the players walk in


That is a ridiculous rule, I wonder if that is still true or if the NFL has changed that rule. I hope so.


I hope so too because otherwise it is just so sexist and wrong


I definitely agree. I think the NFL is probably better at treating the cheerleaders better than that in current times. They need to concentrate on keeping track of the players skills by using the tracking chips in their shoulder pads, and in the football.


I know. Maybe they can use the info to make the game safer


Exactly! Anything to make football safer is a good thing!


Yeah. On another topic do you know much about presidents?


I don't really. I just do my duty and vote for whoever I think is best for our country, that's about it. I care but politics gets so crazy.


I know too much sometimes. Nice chatting with you


Yes I do. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


I wonder if it is supposed to have some effect on the players


I wonder too. Bowlers used to make more than football players in the 60s


True. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


Yes it is Georgia Tech versus Cumberland, 222-0


Yeah I know. Did you know ESPN won an EMmy?


Yes they won it for the superimposed yellow line


Yes I am glad they did because makes watching the game on tv easier


True. Did you know that women can play in the NFL too?


Yes if they qualify and meet the requirements of the game


Yeah. THe average game is only 11 minutes of active participation


Yes and we are yet glued to the tv for hours to an end


True. Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?


Yeah about them not being able to eat in the same place as the players.


Yeah that is so sexist and really has to go by now


I know and the worst is that they have to leave mid meal too if they walk in


Yeah true. DO you know much about the presidents?


I sure do. Do you know who the top three wealthiest ones are?


Yes that us Washington, JFK and Jefferson
