Yeah good point, I bet you he used his own version. Seems the Tower of Babel is likely based in a place that exists now


Any idea where that is located?  Maybe somewhere in the Middle East?


Yes it seems it is located in the modern day Iraq and it is known as the eremenanki


Interesting.  I know that there are things we taken for granted with the Bible as well.  For example, "apple" wasn't in the Bible until it was translated into Latin.


Yeah from the word malus which coincidentally also translated to evil


So Tom Brady wants to equate football with religion?


Yeah, That is quite strange, don't you think ?


Probably as much about promoting his book, The TB12 Method, as anything else.  Nothing like a bit of self promotion.


Yes, but it could have been a book just about training, or nutrition, why mix philosophy in it ?


Maybe the whole celebrity thing.  People admire you for one, football in this case, and all of a sudden you think you're an expert on everything.


Yeah, you are probably right, but some really like this approach, and see this as an unifying thing for the US. That I think it is too much.


Isn't there that concept, the God Complex, where you have an inflated opinion of yourself.  Still, he is good at what he does.  I know little about football, but I know Tom Brady is very good.


When they won the Super Bowl when they were down 28 to 3, is nothing short of a miracle. Maybe it started there.


Good point.  Do you watch much Football?  I come from a city with a comically bad team, it's difficult to get into it when they are that bad.


As long it is not Cumberland when they lost 0-222 to Georgia Tech, it is OK.


Not a good score to have on your resume.  I think if were on the losing team I'd give up football and take up Bible studies.


Which version, the supernatural-free of Thomas Jefferson, or the old-ones where the apple is not mentioned ?


I once read a book which talked about how the Bible has changed over the years because sometimes they are translations of translations of translations, each time it changed slightly but the number of times made big alterations from the original.


Yeah, it makes you think what is right about the bible, maybe that's why Thomas Jefferson cut all the miraculous parts of the bible.


I wonder why those two presidents, Roosevelt and Adams didn't use the Bible to wear in?  There would be uproar if someone did that now.


At these time freedom meant freedom, not "you are free to think the way I think", I wonder what they used at the swearing ceremony.


I'd be curious to see Jefferson's Bible after he finished going at it with a razor?


It was probably a very thick bible with 1-side pages, because if it was 2-sided, he would have cut words on the side of the page.  But it would have still looked strange.


Maybe if I ever get a copy of "The TB12 Method", I'll use a razor to cut out all the parts that mention football and religion.


There would not much left, but maybe I'll buy it, I have a few pounds to lose.


I'm going to go and look it up on Amazon, have a good day.  Goodbye.


Did you know Tom Brady has his own bible, the "Athletes Bible"?


There seems to be a sort of spiritual element to the Pat's.  The say "In Bill We Trust," referring to coach Belichick.


Belichick is good. But I am not a big fan of the Patriots, being I am a packer fan.


Chiefs fan myself... The Pat's player Matthew Slater is actually an evangelist off the field, adding to their spirituality thing.


They do seem like they have a lot of luck. Maybe its spiritual


Not with the Rams apparently.  Even so, Brady shows no sign of quitting football for now.


Yeah.  At least the NFL is making way more than pro bowlers now unlike in the 1960's.


That was bad pay base for players back then


Yep. My alma mater beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916. I'm not sure I'm proud of that.


I guess tech wanted to make sure they stayed down


The coaches must have hated each other. Speaking of the Pat's, former RB Benjarvus Ellis never fumbled in his NFL career.


Yes indeed... I didn't realize that the NFL's average gameplay is only 11 minutes.  That seems way low.


Have you heard that the NFL has no written rule that prohibits women from playing?


They would have to get a little religion like students back in 1963.  It wasn't uncommon for them to have to read from the Bible in school.


yes. the Bible is considered the best selling book of all time


Yes and that doesn't count all the free ones.  Thanks for the chat!


Nope don't plan to. apparently it's his plan for life. i wonder if other quarterbacks will read it.


I don't it has much to do with quarterbacking.  It's more about his physical and mental awareness and prep.  I don't think it is a football book per se.


Well according to Chopra Tom is after something greater than football.


Probably a zen type of book, trying to find the meaning of life or some kind of spiritual journey.


Well football is the meaning for him in one statement and in another he requires more. I think i'll just watch him keep playing football, lol!


So do you like the NFL?  My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC.  One day they will reach the Super Bowl again.


Mine is still the Green Bay Packers out of the 32 teams.


Nice, I watch those games for over 3 hours yet there is only like 10 minutes of actual gameplay.  But still it's my favorite sport.


I know right, we have to be watching a lot of commercials then. There are going to start putting tracking chips in the players padding.


I think its a good idea, maybe they can help with the concussion issues they have and help quarterbacking by tracking rotation and ball speed etc.


Yeah that a good reason, but i tell you the way technology is going who know what will will see when were old. Do you read the bible?


No, I have read it though.  It is the most best-selling book in existence after all.


Your right 5 billion copies and the most influential of all time. You Thomas Jefferson used a razor to remove all the supernatural as aspects like the resurrection and miracles.


I did not know that, I do know that Teddy Roosevelt would not swear on a bible to be inaugurated as President.  So it is not required by law apparently.


Yeah i heard that neither did John Quincy Adams. I'm also aware that the tower of babel is probably a real building in modern day Iraq.


It would make sense, much of the Bible was written in and about that region.


True. the bible is considered to be the inspired word of God.


Who knows maybe in 200 years people will treat Tom Brady's book as reverently as the Bible.  There is even a documentary called "Tom vs Time" made about it,


Hey i'll be long gone my friend but you right who knows. His book could be the center of civilization. nice chatting with you.


Hi, how are you? Do you know much about the Bible?


Yes, I do. Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for American students to be required to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education?


Yes, I did!  Do you like the Patriots? Tom Brady?


Don't know much about the Patriots or Tom Brady. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible, cutting out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection?


Yes, I wonder why he did that? Teddy Roosevelt and John Adams only two who did not use the bible for swearing in ceremonies?


Jefferson wanted to see religion in humanist terms. I think TR and JA swore on the Constitution. They felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.


Interesting, I didn't know the word apple in latin is malus?


Did you know the NFL has no rules against women playing?


That's great! There should a team entirely of women!


That would be interesting to watch! With only 11 minutes of live game play on average, gives time to eat footall treats or standing in line at the stadium. lol


I figure the best way to watch the game is to look at highlights. Did you know that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player?


That is surprising. Makes sense with the average player. Do you watch the New Orleans Saints?


No, I don't really watch their games. Are they any good?


Yes, thinking their cheerleaders might have a problem having to leave the restaurant if a player comes in.


That's true. That sexist thinking is out of date.


Very, Having tracking chips in balls and shoulder pads is a great idea!


Benjarvus Green-Ellis is a great player, never to fumble the ball!


He is a great player. He should get an award or a bonus for that!


I agree, Something to be recognized!! Great chat!!


I love Tom Brady, his the best player of the NFL histoy in my opinion


He plays football like it is his religion. He even has a book called "athlete's Bible."


I would like to eat that book, he says that part of his success is due to eating avocado ice cream, sounds a bit disgusting


That is gross. He is very focused on the whys of life.


Yeah well he must be doing something right, he is 40 and his still on top of his game,


Brady is a kind of messiah figure for patriots fans.


I can see why, he was lead them to various Superbowls, I think that 4 or 5 of them or even more


Brady's commitment to the TB12 Method is sincere. He works hard.


He does work hard, the success of the Patiots isnt due to good luck, so do you have a favorite team?


I'm married to a Broncos fan.  Did you know the former patriots RB green-ellis has never fumbled in his NFL career.


I didnt, I loved to watch him play but didnt know he holded that record, he must nbe the only RB in the history of the NFL


makes sense. I read that the average game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


only 11 minutes of game play? that doesn't seem like a lot, I guess ads take too much of the time


also the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player


That seems about right, engineers tend to work for a longer time, football players have shorter carreers


That is what I was thinking and NO cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restrausnt as any NFL player


That is an aweful rule but I guess there must be a good reason behind that.


Hey yes very much so. Do you have a favorite team ?


Oh yeah I love Tom Brady the guys is a legend. How about you?


Agreed, same here. Did you know he is a book author now as well?


I have yet to hear it but it is that book The TB12 Method, the Athlete's Bible.


Yeah I want to read it too. I heard they are also doing a documentary featuring him too


That should be interesting. He has a favorite ice cream flavor, do you know what it is?


I think it is avocado. I guess it makes sense since he is so healthy.


Yeah for sure. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yeah as long as they meet the requirements. I wonder if anyone has tried


I wonder too actually. Did you know over their lifetime engineers make more?


Yeah apparently I guess it makes sense since they have a longer career too


Exactly. I heard NFL is implanting chips on the player's pads now


Yes it seems they are collecting stuff like velocity and rotation and such.


Exactly. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Yup he is amazing , he never fumbled the ball in his career


Oh he was amazing. Do you know the score in the game that went down in hsitory as the highest one?


Yeah that was Gerogia Tech crushing Cumberland 222-0


Yup. ESPN won an Emmy once, do you know what for?


Yeah for the superimposed yellow line, pretty cool


It is for sure. Do you know much about the Bible?


Not a ton but I know that it has sold over 5 billion copies Wow


Yeah it is one of the most influential books in history


Yeah i love it. what do you think of tom brady?


No denying his brilliance on the field of play or many accomplishments.


Yeah he apparently has book called the Athletes bible.


Have you read it? I hear it is his method of pursuing high performance.


No i haven't but some people say it kind of cultist. He has some fans that call him the messiah


Probably half of Boston... I think he has a good head on his shoulders and his game play shows he is a serious person, dedicated to performing at the highest level possible. I would imagine his book is a legitimate exercise in sharing what he believes are keys to helping him stay in top form.


Yeah i agree he subscribes to avocado ice cream have you evre had it?


No,, but I'm interested!  I once read a quote from Brady which read, "If you're going ot compete against me, you better be willing ot give up your life because I'm giving up mine"   You know, whatever you believe you were made to do, yo have to admire someone who is dedicated so much of himself to do what he thinks is his mission.


Yeah that's is dedication. Apparently his plan for his life is all part of the TB12 Method.


That is living intentionally. It does seem bizaar that someone might dedicate himself to a game that only has an average of 11 minutes of playing time each week. That's a lot of preparation for such a small amount of time.


Well i'm sure it a lot to do with the pay. Tom has made it his religion according to Chopra.


Well, he is focused on his game and shows no sign of quitting anytime soon. WHo knows, maybe he will be the first QB to reach 7 NFL Championships?


If anyone can it's him. Have you seen tom vs. time?


No. I heard of it, but I have not. I wonder if it is on YouTube?


I think it's on Facebook some how. He said he want to know the why's of life.


Don't we all!  Like, why did the Univ of Iowa paint the visitor locker room pink?


I guess the coach thought he take ever advantage. kind of sad really or maybe it was a joke. Did you know the highest scored game was 220-0?


If an average game is only 11 minutes, that means the one team scored 20 points per minute!  Good heavens!


Yeah that ridiculous. Georgia tech and Cumberland were the teams back in 1916.


Hi, how are you? Do you know much about the Bible?


Hello, I'm doing well! I know a little bit, I think it's interesting how religious books are similar, like the Old Testament overlaps with the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint.


They are all in the Abrahamic tradition. The ideas date back very far. Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for American students to be required to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education?


I did not know that! But thinking about it, it makes sense. We really have it ingrained so much in society. I think Teddy Roosevelt is one of the only presidents who didn't swear in on the Bible


The other is John Quincy Adams. They swore on the Constitution because they felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.


Ahh ok, that's interesting. It's good for people in power to have choice like that. Thomas Jefferson had his own version of the Bible, after he cut out parts using a razor.


He was a practical guy and wanted to see religion in humanist terms.


It's interesting how the Bible draws from real life as well. I was shocked to find out the tower of Babel was likely based off of the real life building, the Etemenanki.


The Bible has a lot of connections to the real world. Linguistically too. An apple only became known as an "apple" when the Bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century. The reason: the word "mauls" means both apple and evil.


That's interesting! I think it's surprising the disagreements people have over the Bible, I always thought of it as straight forward! But I guess some people disagree what parts of it should be included in the canon.


I think there are political motivations behind that, like in the case of Jefferson. Leaders want certain beliefs to be followed.


I think that's fair. Regardless it's clear many, many people have considered it interesting enough to buy. It's technically the best-selling book of all time with 5 billion copies.


They might not know the controversy behind what got chosen to go into the book. So much has been left out.


Yeah that's very true. Speaking of controversy, did you know in the NFL, if cheerleaders are eating in a restaurant and players come in after, the cheerleaders still have to leave? That's terrible.


The women in the NFL get treated like second class citizens. It's shameful.


Definitely, but at the same time that makes it even more surprising female players are technically allowed!


They would be better off as engineers in the long run. No concussions!


That's true, and more than that, don't engineers make more? I think on average they have higher lifetime earnings than NFL players, and even MLB players also!


I'm not surprised. NFL players have short careers, due to injury and age. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you!


Definitely, but it's also surprising considering there's only 11 minutes of actual live play every game.


True. Only 11 minutes stretched over hours. Not what you'd think.


But definitely nice chatting with you as well, have a good night!


Hello. Do you like avocado ice cream? Tom Brady does.


Its what is keeping him on the top of his game


I think I would have to pass, as it sounds disgusting. I didn't realize he and Depak Chopra's son were friends. Also weird that Depak would name his son Gotham.


Yes he did. I would love to read his book "athlete's bible"


I'm not reading anything from an NFL player, until they demand that the Saints stop that insane rule that their cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in.


That is so wrong. That makes me mad just thinking about it. at least Women can play in the NFL


As long as they meet the eligibility requirements, and I'm sure many do.


I did not know the ESPN created the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line


They won an emmy for it. That must have been an awful year, if that is what won.


Im sorry I hit enter before finishing. I was saying that if I were cumberland I would have quit playing that game after the 1st 100 points


Oh. The Georgia Tech game! Why didn't the coaches stop that? They do in high school games.


I would have wanted to be a bowler instead of a player  in the 60's


Even engineers make more money than a player. I don't think i could have watched pro bowling though.


I never knew that green-ellis has never fumbled the ball. I wonder if he is the only one


Probably, as those tracking chips in the balls register everything.


So Thomas jefferson did not believe in miracles and the resurrection.


A lot of people don't. Maybe Brady should be given a copy of his bible.


Yes because the bible is the best selling book ever.


Yes I do a lot and you? Do you have a favorite team or player


I love the Patriots and Brady, he is such a good and dedicated player. And you?


Yes he sure is and I like him a lot. Do you know what his favorite ice cream flavor is?


I think it is ice cream which fits in really well with his healthy diet


Exactly. And now he is a book author as well, he wrote a book on the sport


Yes he wrote the Athelete's Bible, The TB12 Method. Have you read it?


I have not actually but I would like to. I would also like to watch the documentary series Tom vs. Time


Yeah that sounds cool too. Did you know U of Iowa painted their visitor locker room pink?


Yeah heard about that, wonder if it works in any way. Do you know what the highest college football score is?


Yeah it was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0. What a defeat.


Exactly what a defeat. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


Yes for the superimposed yellow line. I am glad they did that.


Yes me too. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Yeah he ir the rb for the Patriots who never fumbled the ball in his career


Yeah what a legend. Did you hear about that New Orleans cheerleader rule?


Yeah that is so wrong in every level. Why can't they eat in the same place?


I have no idea I just hate the fact they have to also leave mid meal if the players walk in.


So strange. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I know that it is one of the most influential books and has sold 5 billion copies


Yeah that is pretty powerful and it was part of the education system until 1963.


Are you an NFL fan?  Back in the 60s, pro bowlers actually made more money than pro football players! Crazy huh?


That is crazy. I think they all are paid pretty well today.


Yeah, especially QB's like Brady.  He has a book out entitled "The Athlete's Bible".


In my opinion Religion and sports dont mix. Its just a way for him to make some more money.


I'm not sure it's all about religion. I think it's more about mental preparation and even one's physical health (e.g., nutrition).


Well that makes a little bit more sense, I still think its all about the money he will get from it though.


His, wife as a model, actually makes more than him. I  also not so sure he's doing it for money.  He may be.  There are really religious people on his team like Matt Slater.  He's an evangelist off the field.


Its nice to know some of those guys are still good maral characters. With all the off the field trouble you hear about of athletes.


True.  Some of the fans treat them like deities. They say "In Bill we trust" about the coach and some see Brady as a messiah.


In my opinion there is only one mesiah. He certainly isnt a football player. Dont get me wrong I love football. I just dont go that deep with it.


No one should.  It's a game.  BTW, a short game.  They say there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay  in an NFL game.  I find that hard to believe.


I believe it. Most of the game is getting ready for the next play, and then most plays last like 7 seconds.


I played in HS and there was a lot of standing around.  Speaking of the Pats, former RB Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball in his NFL career.  Good hands!


Yeah thats pretty amazing considering how physical the game is.


I'm also amazed that the U. of Iowa has a pink locker room for visitors.


Yeah that seems like they are going to some pretty good lengths to get into the head of the opponents.


Yeah, that's what Brady's book i supposed to be about.  I just learned that Teddy Roosevelt and Jon Q. Adams are the only presidents that didn't use a Bible to get sworn in.  I wonder what they used?


I dont think they used anything. I wonder if they were athiests or why they didnt swear in on the bible.


I can't see that but maybe.  Isn't it wild that they think they found the actual Tower of Babel in Iraq?


In the end, everyone does their own thing.  Jefferson cut out "supernatural" (e.g., miracles) in his own Bible.


Oh yeah.To each his own I guess. I like my bible the way it was written. good chat


Yeah, he's smart, I believe his method that involves lots of avocado ice cream to help him stay at the top of his game is brilliant!


Yeah if you like Avocado ice cream, lol! I think he calls it the TB12 Method.


Yeah, Tom Brady, that is.  He is surprisingly spiritual.


I did not know that about him. He's got like 5 rings now right?


I believe so.  It's crazy to think, on average football games have 11 minutes of actual playing, yet there is so much excitement with watching them.


Right! Hey i guess the Iowa coach thought painting the visiting locker room pink was a good strategy.


Many strange things have happened.  Decades ago bowlers made more than football players.


Yeah i hear twice as much and that Georgia tech Cumberland game was played in 1916.


That's great. Did you know that espn won an award.


Yes!  It is so interesting to learn the history behind things such as the symbols representing first down lines in American football games.


I haven't heard about those. I do know they are going to add tracking chips in the padding of the players.


Yeah, that is a good idea to make oversight of the game and making calls more accurate.


Pretty soon will be watching drones, lol! You know the nfl only produced one left handed quarterbacks?


Yeah, and furthermore, maybe we'll see women in the NFL, since there is no written rule forbidding them from joining.


If so make a all women's team like the WNBA


Yeah, if women do enter the NFL, I'm sure issues of fairness between players will arise.


Right it will change the game forever. Apparently the lifetime earnings of a nfl players doesn't compare to that of an engineer.


With that in mind, maybe being an engineer would be a better idea.


Well only for the long run. Give me a professional 10 year career as a player and then retirement any day.


You too! Don't forget to try the avocado ice cream


Yeah i don't get to watch it much anymore though. I hear bowlers used to make more than top nfl players in the 60's


Thats amazing to learn. I think that has changed just a little.


Yeah as for Tom Brady he swears by Avocado ice cream.


I think I read that somewhere. i never actually tried it though. Is it good.


I can't imagine...but i guess if you add enough sugar to it, haha! He calls it TB12 Method.


Lol. To each his own I guess. Maybe I will try it out.


I do like Avocados. It's amazing to think that those bowlers made twice as much as top performers.


Yeah I have never been much of a bowler. My uncle bowled a perfect game though. He is pretty good.


Wow that's awesome. I got a turkey once. The patriot produced a RB that never fumbled the ball in his entire career.


Yeah that's right. That's quite a accomplishment. Kind of like the college game that scored 220-0


Yeah that is a lot of scoring. I think I would have called benjarvis, double double. Cause dude has two first names and two last name. Lol.


I know make a choice already. Georgia Tech was not playing around with Cumberland, i would not have wanted to be on that bus ride home.


Me either. Bet they avoided playing them for awhile.


Did you hear about the Emmy that ESPN won?


Yeah for the yellow first down line. Genius in my opinion.


Mine too made it a lot easier. You know theres no written rule that keeps women from playing in the nfl?


I think it's more the status quo of the sport that keeps them out. Maybe they could be kicker or punter.


Yeah i don't discriminate but i do think it's just habit to think of football as a males-only sport


I totally agree with you there. Well Im gonna have to get off here Good chat. TTYL.


I like football but not enough to think that Tom Brady wrote the athlete bible ya know.


I am not a Patriots fan or a Fan of Brady


I don't understand why the NFL has been using tracking chips in the players shoulder pads.


They track everything today by tech looking for an edge


That is crazy. Like, everything in the world doesn't need tracking, at least in my opinion.


Yes its getting nuts. Tracking velocity and even rotation


They are even using  a lot of tech in baseball these days


The cell industry is definitely taking over the world.


Did you know that Thomas Jefferson had created his own version of the bible so he could remove the supernatural parts. Thats wild.


Yes, definitely, and also the biblical tower of babel is based on a real building in present day iraq.


Tom Brady is a great player and a football legend, do you agree?


I agree loved his Tom vs Tom documentary.  Have you seen it?


I did, I also loved it, football has become like a religion to Brady, I have to agree on that


Yes.  Did you read his book "The TB12 Method"?


No, I didnt read that one, did you read it?


I haven't read it.  He credits it though with helping him to stay at the top of his game.


I might pick that book up sounds interesting, maybe I can learn a thing or two from it, he must have a lot of healthy habits, success like that isnt achieved without discipline


True.  Did you know that the University of Iowa's visiting players locker room is painted pink?  I wonder why they did that?


Sounds really funny lol, I wonder why they did that as well and I also wonder the faces of the visiting players, it must be confusing


lol  right?  In the 1960's it paid more to be a bowler than an NFL player.  Bowler's made twice as much as the top football stars from back then.


Oh I see, thats odd considering how much money football players make


Yes.  Another surprising money fact is that the lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the lifetime earnings of an NFL or MLB player.


Engineers also make a lot of money, they work for more years so it does make sense


I agree.  The highest scoring football game ever was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916!


That must have been a boring game, 222 points of difference!!! I bet the other team was playing a totally different sport


lol yes!  Former RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball once during his career.  That's amazing.


That is amazing, I bet he is one of the few players with that impressive record


Probably.  I would imagine.  Do you ever read the bible?


no not really, I dont believe in God, but I guess many people enjoy reading it, do you read it?


Not really.  I find it interesting that it's the highest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold!


Theres a lot of religious people around the world and its also one of the oldest books,


I am fine. Do you read the book The Bible?


I have read parts of it. I dont read it very often and I have never read it word for word.


I think that it is a very popular book. Many people have read it and tried to understand its secrets.


I dont know. I dont always take it really literally. I mainly use it as a good set of rules to live by to be a good person.


That is a good guide. There are many lessons buried deep within the scriptures that are hard to fathom. It is a good guide to look to one's conscience.


Yeah thats so true. Did you know that the bible has sold over 5 billion copies. I wonder who has the copyrithg on it.


I don't know. I guess the money must go to someone who uses it to help the church.


Yeah that was kind of a joke. Maybe it was in the wrong time. Lol. Sorry.


I understand. The copyright on the Bible is of course held by a higher power, one not beholden to man's laws. It was a funny joke. I did not see, but now I do. Thank you.


So I wonder if the companies who print and sell the bible, feel the same about that or if they make sure they make a profit off of it.


They cannot profit and remain pure in the eyes of the one who wrote it. They would do well to consider the contents of the very book that they print.


Yeah. I think you have a little more faith in humanity than I do.


Possibly. The Bible has been used by many people for many things, not all of them good. The book is not the laiety.


That is true. Many people have been persecuted in the name of god and the bible.


The Bible is but one book of many. Truth can be unearthed outside of books. The world holds many secrets, but you probably have the most inside of you.


Well aid. I just try to be a good person everyday. I believe in god. I even believe in the bible. I just know that it has be rewritten o many times that who knows xactly what was said in the original. I think the overall message is what is important, and I dont think that has changed.


The original is not the truest, nor is the newest the truest. You will know the truest from your own understanding of truth. Have a good evening, and may your studies take you forward.


Thank you. This has been a great conversation. Hope you have a good one as well.


hey do you like the nfl? Crazy that they have 32 different teams


I do enjoy the NFL. I'm a Bears fan myself.


ha ya I like the Patriots myself, did you know that Tom Brady came out with a book recently?


ya its all about his tips for success in life, its a best selling "athelete's bible"


I will have to look into that. I had no idea. Speaking of the Patriots, did you know that they had a RB who never fumbled a football?!


I did know about that, I think his name was Benjarvus right? he doesn't play for them anymore but he was awesome!


Yes, Benjarvus Green-Ellis. He ended his career with 0 fumbles. Did you know that in the 1960's top bowlers made more than top football players?!


wow thats impressive! I do know that an engineer will earn more money over their life than an NFL player, which is crazy, but NFL players only play for limited years


I did not know that. You'd think more people would aspire to be engineers then. That's a lot of money and certainly much easier on your body than sports.


yup I agree, you don't have to wear tracking chips either that track your movements and speed on the field


I did hear that players wear tracking chips in their shoulder pads and they have them in the ball. Do yo know for what purpose?


yes it tracks their lcoation, velocity, and things like the ball rotation, I hope they use it to help prevent injuries


I hope so too. Do you know why they don't use it to help make calls on the field when they are in question? It seems like they should.


ya I don't know, they should use that stuff imo, would you ever be a cheerleader for the saints btw?


No, I think I've probably missed that boat ha ha.


haha well the saints don't treat their cheerleaders well I think, they cna't go to restaurants with players


I did hear about that. Worse still, if the cheerleader was there first and a player enters, they have to stop eating a leave. That's ridiculous and very upsetting.


yup I agree, would you ever watch a football game with women playing though? Do you think that will ever happen?


I would. I think they should start their own league that's not exploitation like the lingerie bowl.


haha ya I agree, I think we coul dhave  a female kicker, theres no rule against it


Yes me too. Did you know U of Iowa painted their visitor locker room pink?


Yes I do, I live down the street from the stadium! Ever been to a game there?


Oh nice. No I have not been there. Did you know the ESPN won and Emmy once?


I heard that before, what was it for? something about yellow right?


Yeah they invented the superimposed yellow line


wow did not know that! Do you ever watch college football? The record for the highest score was 222-0!


Yeah that was something when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland back in 1916


Yes it was, imagine being on Cumberland, I would have quit!


Yeah pretty bad defeat for sure. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


I did not know that, do you think men can play in the WNBA?


I do not know about the rules but it would be fair that they play too I guess. Did you hear about tracking chips on the players now?


I have heard. They are made probably by engineers that will make more money than the players who wear them will


Yeah, I would not be surprised. They track everything though from velocity to location and everything in between


I do from time to time. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


Oh cool. I only know some facts like, it has sold over 5 billion copied


that is crazy to think. He gets the money I wonder?


I have no idea but talk about an influential book.


Yes, it's a great sport! The whole world loves it!


I do not like to choose. Which one is God's team? Is there one team more spiritual than all the rest?


God likes the vikings i think or university of iowa since iowa is gods country


Iowa. It sounds Biblical. I guess the Vikings are a good choice for a Christian God.


I agree. did you know iowa painted their visitor locker room pink.


That is for breast cancer awareness. The folks in Iowa know that others need to learn the risk of breast cancer in football players.


That was not the reason, but a good guess. It is to deal with psyching the other team out and calming them down.


It could have had a double purpose: soften the team for the game, and make them receptive to an important message about breast cancer.


That is a great point, have you been affected by it?


I have not been affected by the pink locker room. It has kept me calm but not passive.


I meant breast cancer, lol! Did you know woman could play in the NFL if they wanted to and could play.


They could possibly feel more comfortable in a pink locker room


I agree, lol! Did you know also the saints cheerleaders need to leave a restaurant if the players come in, kind of sexist!


That's a blown opportunity to raise cancer awareness among the players and cheerleaders.


For sure, I like your take on breast cancer awareness! Now only if Tom Brady could be an advocate!


He is half way there. He is an avocado. I think he could be brought to the cause.


lol, he should write it in his athletes bible


It would be a good step in the right direction for him. He has the power and the influence.


I sure do. My favorite is Tom Brady and the Patriots, and you?


The guy is the man. Can you guess his favorite ice cream kind?


I think it is avocado is it not? I mean it makes sense


It sure does , the guy is very health conscious and watches what he eats


True story. Did you hear about his book?


Yes the Athlete's Bible. I read it and it is amazing. Have you read it?


I have not but I will give it a go. I also want to watch the Tom vs Time series


Yeah that sounds pretty cool too. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yes as long as they meet the requirements and make the cut for it


Yes. Did you know engineers make more money than football players over their lifetime


Yeah I guess it makes sense since their careers are longer and they have more opportunities to make money


Good point actually. They are also using tracking chips on the players now.


Right, they are collecting all this info on velocity and rotation and such. Wonder what they use it for


Hope they can make some sense of it and use it to make the game safer for the players


I hope so too. On another topic, do you know anything about the Bible?


I do actually. I know that is has sold over 5 billion copies now


That is a lot of books. I guess that is why is one of the most influential books in history


Right? It is pretty amazing. Jefferson created his own version of it


Yes , heard he cut out the supernatural parts off of it with a razor


He must have really not believe in all that stuff.


The NFL? The National Football League? Did that thing go broke or get offshored to China or something?


Nope still around. Do you know how many teams are in it?


I think every year or two they add a team or two. It must be up to about 50. How many are there?


Currently it is sitting at 32 teams and the season lasts for 17 weeks


17 weeks. I guess that a good length. Is that every year though? Football is a good game. I'm glad it is still around.


Yeah ever year and then it is topped with the superbowl. Did you know bowlers used to make more than football players in teh 60s?


I guess the football players chose the wrong sport then. They could have just gone bowling and make money. They could wear their helmet bowling too.


Well things have changed now so that definitely is not the case. But engineers still make more than football players


Engineers makes more than football players, but not for playing football. Engineers are good at engineering.


Yup for sure. Did you know women can play too if they qualify?


Qualify? Is there a written exam and a road test or something?


Well there is the physical exam that all players have to pass in order to play to ensure they can make the game


I guess there could be some women that could try out for a team, but I can't say I know if they'd make it.


Well I hope we get to see them in the field for sure. Do you know who Benajrvus Green-Ellis is?


He's the guy that fumbled every ball he ever touched.


Yeah what a career for him. Did you know NFL is sing tracking chips on the players now?


The NFL is singing tracking chips? I did not know that.


Opp typo, they are using tracking chips to track velocity and rotation and such. I hope they can use those to make the game safer too.


For the fans, at least. They can know when a player might suddenly come flying at them. Fan safety is a priority. Well, it should be. Good for the NFL and the singing chips.


Hi there, yes I do. DO you have a favorite team or player?


Actually yes, I like Brady a lot and you?


Nice same here. DO you know what his favorite ice cream flavour is?


Yes it is avocado and I am not surprised the guy is very health conscious


Yes exactly. He wrote a book also  so he is an author as well now


Yes he wrote the Athelete's Bible, The TB12 Method. I have yet to read it though


Yeah me too and I am curious to watch the documentary series Tom vs. Time. Have you seen that?


I have not but will keep an eye on that. Did you know U of Iowa painted their locker room for the visitors?


I wonder what effect that has though really. Do you know what the highest score in the college football is?


Yes it was 222-0 and Georgia Tech totally crushed Cumberland


Yeah what a game that must have been. Did you hear about NFL using tracking chips on the players now?


Yes they are tracking all sorts of stuff now like velocity and rotation and such


Yeah exactly I hope they can use those stats to make the game safer too


I hope so too. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Yeah he used to play for Patriots and never fumbled the ball in his career


Yeah what a career. Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?


That is so weird. I hope it goes away soon. The worst part is that they have to leave mid meal too


Yeah that has to go. Do you know much about the Bible?


I know that it has sold 5 billion copies and is one of the most influential books in history


Yeah that is true and it was part of the education system until 1963.


I respect some of his accomplishments and despise some of his tactics.  However, I have heard about the Chopra series about him


I did to i haven't seen it though. Have you? Apparently he has a plan for his life that involves avocado ice cream.


He and his wife both eat healthy and exercise.  His "Bible" is for athletes and his lifestyle is productive for them.


Yeah i just can't get behind terms like messiah and in bill will trust. i do think he is a great quarterback though enough to be spoken about with some of the greats.


No doubt.  He has won 6 Super Bowls.  Even though he and his coach have been caught cheating, it is still a great accomplishment.  You can't argue with "Do Your Job" as an approach.


To funny! i hear the coach keeps him on the injured list even though he is not.


The coach tries to keep the opponents guessing.  A writer claims that the Brady book is creepy and is cultlike.


Now it makes since. I see were the term messiah is coming from. It's amazing to think that bowlers at one time made twice as much as top nfl players.


True.  The NFL has done a great job of marketing to increase the value of their product.  There are now 32 teams.


Divided equally among the NFC and the AFC your right.


They play 16 games in a regular season, but they spread it over 17 weeks to get more revenue.


Well it's all about the money. Do you know what the highest scoring game was?


Well, in college, my team Oklahoma beat Texas A & M by 77-0.  Was that it?


No but that is impressive. It was in 1916 and the score was 220-0. can you tell me who played?


Georgia Tech and Cumberland, Cumberland lost.


I see.  You know, one of the other things that the NFL did to make money was to have a lot of teams make the play-offs.  A total of 6 teams make it.


Wow after each team plays 16 games with one bye week.


Yes.  They have a wild card game against the division winner with the worst record, then an 8 team single elimination tournament ending in the Super Bowl.


Yes held in the first week of February i'm getting excited and we still have a year to go, lol. You know the average live game only has 11 minutes of real game play?


I like college ball better.  It probably has 16 minutes with 40 percent more plays.  Nice chatting!


hey there do you like Tom Brady? I love him I'm glad he wrote a book


Hey there, I like him too he is a great player. And he seems to like avocado icre cream a lot


haha I want to eat that! its crazy that he's 40 and still in that good shape, must be the avocado!


Maybe they say it is super healthy. I guess his book is being dubbed as the Athlete's Bible.


yup you're right, do you watch a lot of football games btw?


I do from time to time but I am not fully dedicated. How about you?


ya I watch the big games and we have parties sometimes, but I don't really follow a team, I just like teams that win like the patriots haha


hahah well good choice there then. Do you know about their former QB Benjarvus?


ya he was a former player, he never fumbled the ball, he's the man! Do you know about the highest scoring football game ever


Yeah that was a good day for Georgia Tech who beat CUmberland 222-0.


yup, imagine how dissappointed youd be if you wore a cumberland shirt that day haha, I wish bowlers still made 2x of football players that woudl be fantastic!


Yeah that would be more fun. we would all be heading to the bowling alleys. Maybe engineering that still pays more than football


ya I think they do actually! over their lifetime anyway, more than nfl and mlb players!


Yeah, and well deserved money too. Did you know they are using tracking chips on the players now?


I saw that, its only on the field and they use it for stats, but its still scary, I hope they disable the chips off field


Well they are implanted in the shoulders pads so unless they are wearing their uniform outside as well. Hope they can use that to make the game safer too


ya I agree! hopefully they don't track the players off the field either, the saints would probbly use it to track the locations of their cheerleaders


Yeah them and that strange rule of theirs. I think it is so unfair that they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant


ya I agree, they should probably sue for discriminition, do you know if those rules are the same with other nfl teams?


I think they are the only team. What I find most disturbing s that they have to leave even mid meal if a player walks in


ya that would be really annoying and a waste of money, how often do you read the bible btw?


Did you know that there is a TV series about the "religion" of football practiced by Tom Brady.


That's crazy. People are really passionate about football, I guess. Did you know another Patriots player, Benjarvus Green-Ellis, never fumbled the ball once in his entire career?


That is so rare!  Brady and his wife both eat and exercise for optimum life style and performance.  They even eat avocado ice cream


That sounds delicious! I wonder if she'd ever play football? Did you know women are technically allowed to play in the NFL?


I suppose we might see a woman kicker some day.  Gotham Chopra produced the TV series on Brady I was talking about.  "Tom" versus


Nice, I wonder if they'll win an Emmy for it. ESPN won one for the implementation of that superimposed yellow line.


I love that line!  The series is so parallel religion that they said "In Bill We Trust" talking about the Patriot's coach.


I think I agree with that columnist from the Boston Globe who called his following a little cultlike.


I agree.  Of course he has delivered more than any coach in history.  Do you read any of the versions of the real Bible?  The Christian, the Jewish or the Catholic?


No, I don't. I probably would be like Teddy Roosevelt or John Quincy Adams at my swearing in ceremony; neither of them used Bibles.


We are different then.  I teach from the Christian Bible once per week.  It is odd that the New Testament is written in Koine Greek while Jesus and the disciples spoke Aramaic.


Have you ever to Iraq to see the building in Iraq they believed was the Tower of Babel?


I have seen photos of it.  Of course I believe that God divided the people into over 7000 languages there about 100 years after the flood.  In Mandarin, where words are made by drawing, the word for ship is 3 pictures, a container, a mouth meaning people because only people talk, and the number 8.  There were 8 people on Noah's Ark.


That's a lot of information! I just recently learned the world apple is only called an apple because of when the Bible was translated into Latin. Malus in Latin means both apple and evil.


That would be a strange set of translations.  Am I evil or am I an apple.  Thomas Jefferson created a unique version of the Bible by cutting out all of the supernatural parts with a razor blade.


Wow, things were different back then! I can't believe students in the US were required to study the bible in school before 1963.


That is awful.  I like that Bill of Rights that states that the government shall not establish a religion.  Reading the Bible in public schools goes to far in that direction.


Definitely. But in the 60s, bowlers made twice as much money top football players, so the times were very different!


Yes.  You have to respect the marketing job that the NFL has done to make their product so valuable.  Of course, better TV pictures developed at the same time.


Yeah, the technology has changed a bit, too. They now have tracking chips embedded in the shoulder pads and footballs to track them!


Yes.  Technology makes it better!  Nice chat.


Hello, yes I do . DO you know Tom Brady, the Patriots guy?


Sure do, he is my favorite player. DO you know he is a book author too?


Yeah the Athlete's Bible. I have not read it yet but seems to be making its rounds


Yes that and also the documentary series Tom vs. Time. I want to watch those as well


That should be fun for real. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yes as long as they meet the requirements. I wonder if any of them have tried


Curious about that too. Maybe they are sticking to engineering careers


Cannot blame them, engineers make more over their lifetime


There you go. Bowlers used to make more in the 60s as well


How things have changed now. Did you hear they are using tracking chips on the players now?


Yes they are collecting information such as velocity and rotation and a bunch others, Wonder what for though.


I hope they can somehow use them to make the game safer and decrease the number of concussions


That would be amazing. On another topic, do you know anything about the Bible?


I know that it has sold over 5 billion copies. Amazing record there


Yes and that is exactly why it is known as one of the most influential books in the world


Yup. Did you know Jefferson created his own version of the Bible?


Yes, he went as far as to use a razor to cut out the supernatural parts off of it


Yeah he sure did. And Roosevelt and Quincy also did not use it to swear in as presidents


They must have really been nonreligious people. Up until 1963 it was part of the curriculum in school though


That is pretty recent, Glad it is not anymore though, religion is a choice.


Yes I like to watch NFL games, I try to watch as many games as I can, what about you?


Nice, yes me too. Did you know women can play too?


Yes, but I don't know if it's safe for them to play against 250-300 lb men.


Yeah it can be rough certainly. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of active game play though?


I read about that and the math and time just doesn't even out. Especially divided into four quarters.


Well it only takes into account the active game play, when they are running around. Not sure though if that is the case


Still, the active game play should be longer than eleven minutes. It takes me almost that long to eat a meal! Hahaha. Just my opinion.


Yeah I am not too sure about that. Did you know ESPN won an EMmy once?


Yes I wonder what was used at the beginning of NFL before espn came up with the idea?


Nothing I think, and when they invented the yellow line it made our game watching easier too.


Yes I agree with you, I sit on my sofa and all I focus on is that line for the first down, because I know that important for a team, the first down.


Yeah exactly. Do you know what the highest score in nfl game is so far?


No, I don't, do you know? If yes do you remember who and who were they playing?


It was 222-0 and Georgia Tech seemed to really crush Cumberland!


Oh, you said nfl, the 222-0 was college football, georgia Tech vs Cumberland.


Oops my bad there, sorry. Still quite a win for Georgia Tech. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I know pretty good, but not that much, I read a lot of verses, I like psalm.


Oh I see. Did you know it was part of the educational system in the years up to 1963?


No I didn't know that, did you know Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible?


Yeah the guy was so against the supernatural that he used a razor to cut those parts off


wow just to think about that and Apple became known as apple when the bible translated into latin.


Yeah and too coincidental that malus means both apple and evil.


Football sure is a great sport, its like a religion to many,


Agreed. It is a religion and also a sport. Many worshippers on Sunday find relief through football.


I  know I belong to that group, I love sundays because of football, do you have a favorite team?


I do not have a favorite. I sometimes root for the underdog in the super bowl out of spite.


The underdog is my favorite as well, I hate the Patriots, they always win


They win because they are powered by hatred. Be advised. They are nefarious.


They are, Brady is a great QB I have to give them that


Brady is the crux of their power. If he goes down according to bibiical prophecy, the rest of the team must fall.


That is a profecy I want to see get fulfilled, NFL should be more competitive not just the Patriots and some other team


There is a time of reckoning among the teams, as told in the Book of Revelation. I expect that the NFL will have to come to terms with the truth as told.


Well the Patriots have a great coach as well so that is hard to tell,


I figure BIll must be in on the power of the prophecy. That is his secret to winning.


I havent heard about that profecy, can you illustrate me?


It was told that certain leaders pure of heart and true to the Word would lead teams to victory on the field of battle. They would lead their armies with a cross of gold. Bill has that cross.


Wow that sounds like an interesting story, well have to see if it becomes tru, did you read one of Bradys books?


I did not. I know the prophecy and it has come true, but not completely, there is much to come, and Bill will reveal himself through his Patriots.


Sounds like you know a lot about that prophecy, sounds interesing


I am just an acolyte, not a true follower of the NFL prophecy, which is given to many but understood by few. I hope that next Super Bowl shows us the truth.


I hope it does I cant stand the Patriots in another Superbowl


The prophecy will be fulfilled in its time, whether we hope or not.


I'm a fan!  Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy for creating the yellow superimposed first down line on tv?


Yeah, I heard it seems like that is pretty cool.


The University of Iowa's visitors locker room was painted completely pink.  Must have been to relax the players so they wouldn't have that mean edge on the field?


Yeah, you have to wonder if that actually works. I suspect it just makes the other team more angry.


You would think lol  It might also be for breast cancer awareness, which I think could possibly be inspiring.  Do you know what the highest score ever was for a football game?


I'm not sure, just a wild guess, but was it 222-0?


You got it!  What a blowout.  Former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his NFL career while with New England.


Interesting, is he the best running back ever?


No.  He wasn't.  Just you don't see something like that in football where a player can play for a long time and not fumble.  Even the great ones fumble a few times a year.


Yeah, that is pretty crazy. Did you know an iphone has more computing power than the entire US Nuclear ICBM deterrent.


Isn't that crazy?  I didn't know that.  Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you don't use your cell phone.  Sign me up. lol


Interesting. Did you know that Jupiter has radio storms that can be heard on AM radio here?


I wonder what station it is actually on?


I don't know but I'm going to look it up.  Do you know about the Canadian radio law?


40 percent of the music played on there has to be Canadian artists.  Kind of neat I think.


Interesting, I wonder why nobody naturally wants to listen to that? Well, nice chatting with you.


Would you be much of a fan of Mr. Brady, the quarterback?


I would call myself a fan. I admire his skill and level of devotion. Six super bowl rings doesn't hurt. You?


I don't really know much about football, I know enough to now who he is and his accomplishments, but aside from that it all a bit of a mystery.


He is a very good quarterback from a very good system, and he ha ben doing it for a very long time.


It's my understanding that he, and also he team is disliked by many, is this just jealousy?


Mostly. People suspect his team has cheated but have no proof.


So would you be in the market to buy this new book of his, The TB12 Method?


Nah, I would rather not read his book. Nothing against him and his method, but the man makes enough money and I dont need his advice.


I was fascinated to find out bowlers used to make more than footballers in the sixties.  Tom must me grateful he was in a more lucrative era.


Oh definitely. I also see that a very long named player never fumbled. That's quite an accomplishment!


You think all of these pro footballers are set for life with money, but I guess that is only when you think of the stars.  The average player will make less than an engineer during a working life.


Yea ,they tend to have 1 or 2 year careers and pay a lot in taxes.


I'd hope it was an advantage that they went to college.  They probably don't come out of college with debt like most students.  They also probably have doors open to them in the local community once they've finished.


Sure! Generally reasonably well known. Many start their own business based on their reputation.


I hear there's this documentary about Mr Brady, interested?  Or is it just a self promotion thing with little content?


I honestly dont know. I would be interested in hearing stories from his teammates and coaches though.


You're right, I never enjoy hearing people talk about themselves, all they present is what they want you to think of them.  A truer picture is what others have to say.


Though I think they will call him and Belichick good leaders who have very high expectations, which isnt a bad thing in football!


How many years can he carry on.  I can't see avocado ice cream making too much of a difference.  Eventually time catches up with everyone.


He has been injured ,but he is also good at not taking hits, which are usually what will cause the biggest problems. Avocado ice cream sounds good though, doesnt it?


I don't know about the ice cream, maybe the taste is better than my imagination makes it out to be.  If it keeps me young I'll eat anything.


Yes me too from time to time. Curious fact, the U of Iowa visitor locker room is painted pink.


That's funny.  Do you think that was done to humiliate their opponents?


I think that is it, and trying to get into their heads and distract them. Do not think it has worked very well though


Ha-ha.  I'm guessing they don't have a good team.  Weird to think that bowlers used to make more than NFL stars.  That's changed!


I know that has certainly changed. And even now though engineers make more money over their lifetime.


Georgia tech beat Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916.  What color do you think their visiting locker was?


Well, maybe it was something worse than pink. That is a huge defeat, wow. Did you hear about that strange rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?


Yes!  Why on earth would that be a rule?  Do you think its a superstition thing?  Makes no sense.


It certainly does not. The worst part about it is that they have to leave mid meal if a player walks in. Weird


Yeah, that is odd to say the least.  So, the NFL uses tracking chips on the players during the game?


Yeah they are using them to track velocity, rotation and such. I hope they can use that data to make the game less dangerous


Me too.  Safety is a big concern for them.  Only 11 minutes of action in a game, though.  That's a lot of standing around


That sure is, and yet we are glued to the TV for so long. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


He is a former Patriots QB who never fumbled the ball in his career, what a guy.


Man, that's a heck of an accomplishment! He has to be the only guy in NFL history that can make that claim.


I know that is pretty cool. On another topic do you know much about the Bible?


Not too much about it.  I do know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version of it.


Yeah he removed all the supernatural things as he did not believe in them. Nice chatting with you.


Hi, there! We've got a really great chat lined up for us! How are you? Do you believe in NFL football?


I love the game, I love the players so yeah, I go believe in the game and its potential, what about you my friend


I have great faith in football and its greatest incarnation, the NFL. I think that it is the fulfillment of prophecy.


Do you know who Tom Brady is? he sure has an interesting way to see the sport.


Tom Brady? Is he coach for the New York Patriots?


No he is the QB of the Patriots, his one of the best players I have seen.


I guess he must have a pretty good arm then. How far can he throw it? 200 yards?


I dont think thats possible lol, but who knows, he is like a messiah for a lot of fans so maybe he has a mechanic arm


He is a Messiah. Does he have his own Bible? Asking for a friend.


No its just a metaphor or it seems that way, there is an interesting documentary called Tom vs Time, it has interesting behind the scenes content


Tom has a fight with Father Time? That doesn't seem fair. Father Time is practically elderly. I guess this Tom guy picks a lot of fights metaphorically.


Yeah, I can see your point, did you ever hear about that player that never fumbled the ball? I cant recall his name but he played for the Patriots


Thanks, I can see your point too. I agree. Why didn't he ever fumble the ball? Isn't that his job? I thought those guys were paid a lot of money.


No, he used to play in the RB position and not fumbling the ball ever is a really hard thing to do, too bad I cant recall his name but he's one of the best I have seen


I guess I just don't understand the game very good. Some players throw, some catch, some kick, so I thought maybe some of them fumbled. There isn't much in the Bible about football, so I don't follow the game too well.


I see well its a really interesting game, one of the negative things it that theres only 11 minutes of live gameplay per match,


They should make the players play more. I figure that 12 or even 13 minutes should not be too much to ask for.


It's an odd fact, games tend to last for about 2 hours; there's a lot of breaks but only 11 minutes of gameplay seems unreal. I guess there's a lot I don't know about football.


Make the game four hours then. You can get more minutes of play out of those guys.


I guess so I love football a game with 32 teams, 2 divisions, its a great game


It is a tremendous game, tremendously confusing to me. Beyond my scant knowledge from the Bible. Have a good one!


I know a bit about the NFL and its one true star Tom Brady.


I also have a passing knowledge of football


Do you believe that the Patriots and Tome Brady specifically defy time and logic with 6 super bowl wins?


I mean they are like the lannisters of football for a reason


They pay their debts?  Some would say the team believes in the mantra, "Do your job"


Well the patriots are doing their job of winning phenomenally


It is kind of weird that people root for a team.  The out come of the game mean nothing.  Yet people come together under the Patriots banner and pray.


Well many fans are dedicated to sports and enjoy them so


In 1916 Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222-0.  I wonder if the Cumberland fans enjoyed that game.


If I was georgia tech, I would be laughing so hard


Is that in the spirit of the game, to laugh so hard.  Would Deepak Chopra approve?


A guru from India, the father of the guy making Tom Bradys TV show.  Somebody who wants you to live right.  Each NFL game has only 11 minutes of live game play.


Well I think living right is subjective. I understand that laughing at another team's failure isn't a good thing, but if I saw something like a untrained team losing due to their lack of practice, I probably wouldn't lose any sleep over it


Like the Lannisters, I suppose.  It is funny how time moves on for all but the foot ball messiah, Tom Brady is over 40.  How many more years will he be relevant.


I think at least until the next super bowl. He is keeping amazingly fit despite his age


Tom has said, "if your competing against me, you better be willing to give up your life." Does his drive have any bearing on his longevity?


I mean at the very least it shows the strength of mind and his dedication.


Yes, he is dedicated.  Would you like to see football with female players?  There is no rule against it.


I think they should start with a female league first. Considering that gender difference are similar to differences in weight class, it can be dangerous. In any case, thanks for chatting.


Hello. Did you know that the U of IA's visiting locker room is pink?


No i did not!  Are you are patriots fan?


I am not. I don't even like football very much. I know that Tom Brady has a weird obsession with avocado ice cream.


Tom bray is just weird overall!  LOL  Apparently some people follow him to the point where its a religious experience.


Crazy. Maybe they need a copy of Thomas Jefferson's bible.


Gosh i hope not!  You see the NFL has no written rule againsr female players in the league?


I did. Which is a good thing for all of the girls who are kickers on high school teams. Soccer sure pays off, more than cheerleading...if you are with the Saints.


Yeah, that's rediculous... i wouldn't leave!


Makes me wonder if the cheerleaders have those same tracking chips that the football players have in their shoulderpads.


Hahaaaaa... yeah... it's in everyones cell phones!


It's crazy that engineers earn more over their working lifetime, than football players. Maybe parents should be pushing that, instead of for their kids to be the next baller.


Well, i think it's because football players don't plan for their future!


Evidently not, since in the 60's pro bowlers made more than they did.


It is so funny how football players so quickly went from underpaid to overpaid in such a short period of time!


It truly is. What's weirder is that espn won an emmy for that superimposed yellow line.


That doesn't surprise me at all... that yellow line changed the game for the viewer immensely!


Did it really? i mean, there are only 11 minutes of live gameplay, so I guess they had to do something.


True... that's one of the craziest stats... can't believe there is that little of game time play!


I  can't either. High school games have more than that. It's weird that Depak Chopra named his son Gotham. He's always so serious, I cannot imagine him having that much of a creative side.


He's on CNN a lot. Thank you for chatting with me, have a lovely day.


Hi, how are you? Do you know much about the Bible?


I've read it and I'm informed but not an expert.  I do know that the Tower of Babel is said to be an actual thing in Iraq.


I'm not surprised. There are many connections between the Bible and the real world. Did you know that an apple only became known as an "apple" when the Bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century?


Yeah, based on the word "malus" which can mean apple or evil.


So Eve was literally eating evil! Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for American students to be required to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education?


Those were the days.  They still should be IMHO.  Do you like Tom Brady?


He's the QB for the New England Patriots.  He has a book out that's entitled "Athlete's Bible".  It was spiritual overtones.


I see. I guess he has a special way of doing things that he thinks other athletes should follow.


Yeah that's it on the most part.  Many have called it "spiritual" because of the wackiness of the fans. Many fans see Brady as a messiah figure. Crazy...


I guess people want to be in awe. They want something to believe in.


Yeah, they say "In Bill we trust" referring to coach Belichick.


I guess they could find a holy trinity in there and make an ersatz religion.


Yeah, when it comes to football, I like college better.  My alma mater beat poor Cumberland 222-0 in 1916.  Not too proud of that.


I guess the coach wanted to make a point? "Don't put us on your schedule unless you mean it!"


Ha, either that or they hated each other. The off-field games they play... Like the U. of Iowa having pink locker rooms for visitors.


I don't think that has the impact that they're hoping for. Probably teams anticipate it.


Or vandalize it... I played in HS, it wouldn't have mattered to me.


LOL. It's interesting that in the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars. I guess I could have tried bowling if I had been born at the right time.


Yeah.  It's also noteworthy that the NFL has no written rules against women playing.


I wonder if that matters. No women have tried up to now. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting! Have a good day!


Hello, How are you? Do you like football?


Football? Yes, it is a great game! The world loves the football!


Yes, especially the US, the NFL. were you meaning the soccer game?


The soccer? Yes, I was meaning the soccer. But there is the American one, the football, I mean. It has very little gameplay. An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


That's not a lot of time. I like soccer as well! Who do you think would paint Iowas university visiting teams locker room pink?


I think that it is a silly way to play with the minds of the other team. Not really work too well I think.


I think its a joke.  I can't see it really working.


It cannot. Then everyone would do it if it did. The pink is cute but useless.


Yes, I agree. It was good that Espn won an award for the creation of the superimposed yellow line representing the first down.


They chose yellow. I wonder if they would have won if they chose pink.


I don't think so. Ha, ha, ha! Top bowlers made good money in the 1960's!


They sure did. I would rather bowl than play football. Fewer concussions.


For sure. Better for your body in the long run!


Except for the beer and pizza. That could be a problem. No problem sharing a restaurant with the cheerleaders.


Yes, what's that about. needs to change. I guess they think to much togetherness with the players and cheerleaders.


Players and cheerleaders are pros. No need to worry.


I would think so. I wonder if those tracking chips would have made a difference with the inflated football.


I guess they would make a difference either way. Chips is chips. Parts is parts.


The inflatable football was such an ordeal at the time.


The football should never be tampered with. It is like a holy relic, sacrosanct.


Yes, you too my friend! Stay inflated and chipper!


Hi, I'm doing well.  How are you?  Do you follow the NFL which is the national football league if you didn't know?


Thanks, I've heard of the NFL. Who hasn't? I don't watch it much, but it's hard to escape. It's unavoidable.


I like watching football.  I find it interesting that they divide teams into two conferences (AFC vs NFC).  Do you think 17 weeks of the regular is enough football in a season?


I figure that for a sports league, the number of weeks that keeps fans interested enough to spend money is probably long enough. Two conferences? I wonder why.


All sports have conferences when you think about it.  I think they could play more games from 16 to like 20.  It would bring in more money.


It would bring in more money, but would the fans gets bored? Would they watch more? Would the players accept the longer schedule for greater pay?


On average an NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.  Not sure if they are already bored.


I am impressed that there is so little action. Baseball games are like three hours and have 18 minutes of action. I guess the game allows for lots of commercial advertisements.


All sports tend to run long.  However fans come to watch their players.  Tom Brady would be mine since he went to Michigan.  He just came out with an athlete's bible called The TB12 Method, hear of it?


I have not heard of the The TB12 method. TB = Tom Brady. 12? Is his number 12?


Yes it is!  He goes into detail about what has kept him at the top of his game at age 40.  I would not really question it since he has won a lot of super bowls.


I guess he will be legend forever. He has earned it. He probably has written an interesting book.


Brady is definitely a messiah figure for pats fans.  He puts in hard work and eats avocado ice cream while doing it.  :)


I question the wisdom of the avocado ice cream, but he is a champion perhaps he knows a secret.


Well football has been around for a long time.  Back in 1916, the highest score ever occurred when georgia tech beat cumberland 220-0


I guess the Cumberland girls hadn't learned the fundamentals of the game. They got a lesson that day.


The should learn how to hold onto a football.  Former RB Benjarvus green-ellis never fumbled the football in his entire career.


He probably had giant hands, the size of steam shovels. I enjoyed chatting with you. You are a chatter.


I have done a few of these HIT's before.  Football players should earn more money since it is violent.  Back in 1960, top bowlers make twice as much as football players.


I guess football players should earn money because of the violence. I thought that was something they loved, so maybe they don't care about getting paid for it. Bowlers should be rewarded for staying thin. That is their challenge.


On average engineers make more money lifetime than an average nfl player.


That is great! Engineers should be rewarded for their hard work.


Yes me too. Did you know women can play too in the NFL?


I never knew that, I wonder if there are woman out there that could do it and didn't know that.


I am not sure but I sure hope to see them there. I mean they can last 11 minutes in the game


For sure, did you know the NFL is the new religion


I guess it is, many people watch it for sure. Do you know how many teams are there?


I think there are 32 teams now, which is your favorite?


I like the Patriots. They had a player once that never fumbled the ball in his career


Yea, Benjarvus green ellis that was a good feat that he did. Very interesting, mine is the patriots too


Nice. Do you know what the highest score ever was?


It is 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat the Cumberland, WHat a win for them


Wow, what a win for sure! Poor Cumberland, I would have quit after that game, or knelt the ball and let the clock run out.


Yeah I guess. Good for them for playing till the end. ESPN won an award once, an Emmy, do you know what for? It is related to football?


I heard about this, they won the emmy for creating the virtual yellow line on the field, right?!


Yeah that was it. Apparently bowlers made more money than football players back in the 60s


that is crazy, I bet NFL makes more money now by a long shot, it was nice chatting with you!


Yeah that is true, things have really changed. Same here.


I am fine thanks. do you like tom brady. ? I love his TB12 Method


Tom is a great human being! I think he is practically a messiah. I don't know his method though. Is a method for what?


for staying on top of his game at 40. I would love to read his book


I would too. Does he really eat ice cream made with avocados?


Thats interesting. I do agree that He is a great example of what can happen if you are radically committed


I wish I had that kind of commitment. I can only manage to stay committed to life on the Internet.


Did you know that Espn created the creation of the superimposed yellow line representing the first down


ESPN has come up with many great innovations. I'm not surprised that they won for that first down line.


And if I were cumberland I would have gave up after georgia tech reached 100 ponts


I think that the Cumberland folks probably should have ended the football program and taken up croquet.


I agree. I wonder why more women dont try out for the NFL even though they are allow to.


Women are smart. They don't want concussions.


And what is with the New orleans saints cheerleaders restaurant rule ?that is not right.


The cheerleaders get the worst treatment. They are paid badly. They should be left alone at restaurants. It's sexism.


Well I hope the players get their degrees before going to the NFL. The lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an nfl player


They could probably get tons of degrees after the NFL


lol. The bible is the best selling book ever selling over 5 billion copies. I know that because every one has one.


I never had time to check that everyone had one. I'm glad you did. A load off my mind. Some people might want spare copies though.


I just know that everywhere I go there is a copy of the bible. I guess there are 2 people that never had one, Teddy roosevelt and john quincy


It's a good thing, too, in case you need to sworn in. Well, I enjoyed chatting.


Me too I am about to search for Tom Brady "Tom vs. Time,"


Hello, yes I do. Do you have a favorite team or player?


Yes I do. I love the Patriots and my favorite player is Brady. How about you?


Nice me too. I think he is a great player. Did you know his favorite ice cream is avocado?


Haha nice, I love that kind of ice cream too. I guess it is how he stays healthy. Did you know he is an author now?


Yeah heard about the Athelete's Bible and also a documentary that he is putting out Time vs. Tom. Have you seen it


Nice, no I have not but I will be looking into that. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yeah I guess if they meet the requirements. I hope we see women in the field one of these days.


Yeah I hope so too. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once, and what for?


Oh yeah they won it for the superimposed yellow line. I think that is deserved.


Very much so, has made our game watching easier. Now they are using tracking chips on the players while they are in the field.


Heard about that. That is great and I hope they can use the stats of velocity and rotation and such to make the game safer.


Yes it is a great opportunity to do that. DO you know what the highest score in a college game has been


I know of Cumberland versus Georgia Tech 222-0. Has anyone broken that record yet?


Nope no one and that is mind blowing. What a game that must have been. Bowlers used to make more money than football players in the 60s. What do you think of that?


I guess it makes sense since it was a favorite sport back then. Now engineers make more than football players over their lifetime.


Yeah I guess their careers are much longer so they have more time to earn money in the long run.


Yes exactly. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I know some stuff like that it has sold over 5 billion copies. That is crazy


Hence the title as one of the most influential books. Did you know Jefferson made his own version of it?


Yeah the guy used a razor to cut off the supernatural parts. Go figure. Nice chatting with you.


Nice. Did you know U of Iowa painted their locker room for visitors pink?


Yes I had heard that.  It's interesting but I can see why they would seek to emasculate their opponents.  It's not much of a christian thing to do though.


It sure is not. Speaking of that, do you know why the word apple is as such?


Sure.  I read where the apple was only known as apple after the bible was translated from latin.  The word malus means both apple and evil.


Yeah that is quite interesting. Did you know Jefferson made his own version of the Bible?


Yes.  I recently learned that he removed the supernatural references in the bible.


Yeah, all the miracles and resurrection. Up until 1963 the Bible was a required read in elementary education


Not surprising.  I'm glad they took that out though.  I don't think religion should be forced on kids.


Me too, it is a choice. The Biblical tower of Babel seem to be based on a real building that exists today


Huh.  I didn't know that.  So you mean there is an actual tower of babel or is it some other building?


Well it is a building that is called the Etemenanki in modern day Iraq that is believed to be it


Interesting.  I don't believe there is much truth to the bible myself but i know there are some facts like that.


Yeah, same here. Roosevelt and Quincy did not believe in it much either so they did not use it when they swore in


I don't think it should ever be used.  How about you?


Yeah I agree, religion is a preference. Going back to football, did you know there are only 1 minutes of active game play in it?


No. I didn't realize that.  It seems like it takes ages.


I know,, sorry a typo there I meant to say 11 minutes, but you are right, we are glued to the tv for so long to watch a game


Yeah. They are using tracking chips on the players now to track their speed and velocity and such. Pretty advanced.


Hi.  Do you like football?  Are you familiar with the NFL?


I don't actually watch alot of sports.  I do find it interesting that there are many forms of Football including soccer, american football, rugby, and gaelic football.


I like American football and soccer.  NFL is a a football league in the US.


yes, I follow the NFL some.  I saw soemthing funny about the university of Iowas visiting team locker room.  They have painted it completely pink


Yes, I heard about it.  I wonder if it was some kind of mind game.


I would assume so.  I actually read that in the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football players.  Weird.


Isn't it amazing?  Bowlers now make pennies compared to well known football players.


I know thats so weird.  This is interesting too.  ESPN won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line that is on the football field


I read an article about it.  I cannot imagine a football game without the yellow line.


yeah that definitely helps.  I saw that former patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his nfl career


Yes, isn't that amazing?  I do not know any other football players who have never fumbled the football.


I didn't realize this but the NFL has no written rule against women playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements


I heard about it.  It would be hard for any woman or average men to meet NFL eligibility requirements.


Yes I am not sure they should play together anyway.  I saw something interesting about the fact that there is only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay in a NFL game


Yes, I know about that.  Do you know why that short?


No but possibly b/c they have to fit in all the ads.  I read that New Orleans cheerleaders are forbidden to eat at the same restaurant as NFL players


You are probably right.  I think they should be allowed to eat at the restaurant if they are there first and NFL players need to leave.  The rule is odd.


I know its so strange.  I saw though that they are required to actaually leave if the player comes into the restaurant even if they are already eating


I cannot imagine the situation.  The media should make this rule a big deal so that it is changed.  It's discrimination.  Now I do not like New Orleans football team.


Quite odd.  On a different note I saw that the NFL uses tracking devices in players shoulder pads to record every move on the field


I guess they want to take advantage of the available technology.   I would like to talk longer but I've got to run now.  It was nice chatting with you.


I usually follow more NCAA.  But I do like the playoffs.


That is good. I had not realize before the season lasts 17 weeks!


That is long, but there is only 11 minutes of game play each game


Yes, the game stops all the time! but to me is amusing even if the actual game time is short!


I agree. I wonder how one team got 222 points in one game.


I do have the same question. That happened on 1916, more than 100 years ago and nothing similar has happened again.


Two teams havent even score near that amount combined.  I wonder if rules have changed a bit since then?


Maybe because I think sports are more competitive than ever, specially with the devices that track a lot of info on the players and even on the ball


I know, with all that technology you think reviews would be easier.


that is right! Do you know who Tom Brady is?


Yes.  He is a dominant force in football.  Pretty soon hes gonna run out of fingers to put those rings on.


He has mentioned that Football is more than just  a game to him, it is his religion.


It is kind of strange to me.  He even has the TB12 method.  I ve heard he even eats Avocado ice cream.


Avocado ice cream is actually pretty good. But in his case football has a spiritual meaning. It is his life purpose.


Patriots fans fuel that a little bit they think of him as a Messiah.  Im gonna have to try that Avocado ice cream.  It sounds good.


I think is a little too much to call him a Messiah I think something good about sports is that it makes people bond, even if they have little in common, but I see it very separate from spirituality.


I agree.  Anything that people have in common can help them bond, but I wouldnt call many things spiritual.


A good thing that the TB12 method is that Brady is committed and has been able to rebound from adversity.


He has had a few come from behind losses that were rather significant.  like the 28-3 deficit to win the super bowl.


I think I would follow his example in having a good nutrition and stay fit and try to be strict with that.


Me too.  I am trying to dial in my nutrition, it is the one area of my life that is a mess.  Its been good chatting but I must go.


Nice me too. Do you have a favorite player or team?


Nice, I like the Patriots and I really like Brady. Did you know he is a book author as well now?


No I didnt. I was just finding out that the highest ever scoring game in football was 222-0.


Yeah Gerogia Tech beat Cumberland pretty bad there back in 1916


Yep and former patriots running back Benjarvus green ellis has never fumbled a ball in his NFL career.


What a guy, good for him. Did you women can play too in the NFL?


Yes I wonder why no woman has ever tried?


I wonder too but I hope to see them in the field at some point. Did you hear they are using tracking chips on the players now?


In their shoulder pads and they are tracking velocity and rotation and all that stuff


Exactly. I bet you those are the engineers that make more money that players that put those in there


Yeah. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


Yes Thomas Jefferson actually created his own version of the bible and tried to remove the supernatural parts.


Yeah using a razor. He really did not believe in resurrection and the miracles in it


History is so fascinating to me. Theres only been 2 presidents that have not used the bible in their swearing in.


I admire his longevity and QB skills, but have reservations about his "religion", which seems to be football. How about you?


Same here, apparently the fans of the patriots have a creed "in bill we trust" and some consider Tom the Messiah of football.


Yes, understand that's true. Do you think that's taking "fanhood" too far?


Way to far! It just doesn't take all of that. I just want to be entertained. That's what they get paid to do and i appreciate that.


Agree. I have to admit, that in the Super Bowl game (against the Atlanta Falcons ?) when N.E. came back to win, I was on the edge of my seat. Did you see it


No i wasn't able to see that game. He is well deserving of the attention he gets he works very hard at age forty. One of the things he swears by is Avocado ice cream. you ever had it?


Yuck, no! Agree Brady works hard, but I wonder if his TB12 Method and best-selling book are basically ways to say, "Hey, I'm not just a jock." What do you think?


Maybe i guess it's not like he needs the money his wife makes twice as much as he does.


I've heard that. Are you by chance a fan of the any of the other "football" games, or another NFL team?


Not really don't watch as much anymore, just like to see a good game when i do.


Okay. Good as in competitive? Do you have a favorite team, or prefer not to take sides


Depends on who's playing. My favorite team when i could watch was the Packers. Espn won an Emmy award, did you know that?


Yes, ESPN won an Emmy years ago, for inventing the superimposed yellow line we see on the field in televised games. Who knew? The old Packers were  GREAT team...


Yeah Bret was something else. Still they didn't have any one like Benjarvus who never fumbled the ball his entire career.


I remember Favre well. Another QB legend. Americans are dedicated fans. Some say we need our devotion to sports now more than ever. Do you agree? Why?


Well i don't think were in danger of losing sports so i don't see why more than ever. I can think of far more societal needs to focus on more than sports. I think we put way to much emphasis on those things that matter less and not enough on the things that matter most.


Well said. Some sports fans need more balance and less broo-haa! Maybe Tom Brady will reach that conclusion some day. When football doesn't pay anymore?


We can only hope my friend. Based on the fact that tracking chips are about to be implemented and the fact that technology is not slowing down, who knows where the game will be in 10-15 more years.


Agreed . One thing I miss is relatively commercial-free games. Now, with only 11 minutes of play, it seems we're watching 120 minutes of commercials! Do you mute them?


I know right that's ridiculous. You know New Orleans cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in even if they were there first.


Wacky rule. Maybe that's the future of sports. Less logic and emphasis on the sport itself, more tracking technology, but less game passion. Some folks are just natural sports talent; who needs to know every fact about how they do it??


I do! I'm like Tom Brady, football has basically become my religion. In fact, I need to follow Brady's  TB12 method or his "athlete's bible".


Do you need to get in a better physical shape ? I also have a few pounds to lose.


I'd like to get as healthy as Brady is. Ha! So do you follow football as well? I'm also a huge fan of Benjarvus Green-Ellis. It's fascinating ti know he has yet to fumble the football in his entire pro career!


There is so much definition of football, but is like the "american" football, especially the NFL. It is very spectacular, on 16 games in a season, so every win count.


Agreed. I wish I could have seen Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916. That's the highest score ever in a football game. I can't imagine what that was like to see it!


you would have blisters in yours hands if your clapped at every touchdown, it is roughly 30 TD or a TD every 2 minutes.


I know, That's crazy isn't it? Wonder what Georgia Tech's mindset would have been had they been in a pink lockerroom such as the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa? Probably would have made them angry. Ha!


What do you think about the fact that there is no rules against women playing in the NFL ? Do you think because they are progressive or they think that a woman playing in the NFL is so ridiculous that is doe not need a rule ?


I think it's probably progressive and I'm surprised we haven't seen a woman yet - at least a female kicker. I think what holds them back is maybe the size difference. We may see a female playing one day. What about you?


You are right the more respect women have they more seriously they train, I would not be surprised to se a woman playing in a few years. Maybe they will have read The TB12 Method.


Ha! Maybe so! I mean, there's only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average so it wouldn't hurt to have a few female players, I wouldn't think!


Maybe there is to many advertisements, what do yo think ? Or if the players played more than 11 minutes, they would get more injuries ?


I think it's primarily the commercials. Crazy to think it's only 11 minutes though! I wonder if the chips they use to track the movement of players only tracks 11 minutes worth?


Maybe it is to track the concussions too, or maybe it is just for TV special effect, like the yellow line for the first down, so good it won an Emmy.


That is true. It was very innovative and I can't imagine a game without the yellow line now! Did you know that engineers actually make more in a lifetime than both MLB and NFL players do?


The career of an engineer is 2 to 4 times longer than football player. And most football players, even pro don't have a multi million contract. It kind of make sense.


Yeah that is true! Also, it's crazy the regular season lasts 17 weeks. It always seems to go by so fast!


As I have said, it makes every games special and counts a lot more than when you have a 80 game season.


Agreed it truly does! During the offseason, maybe we can follow Brady's athlete's Bible to get us by. Speaking of Bibles, did you know Roosevelt and Adams were the only two presidents that didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies? I figured there would have been more!


Me too, but Jefferson had his own modified Bible, so it almost counts.


That's true! I heard he cut out the supernatural parts of it. I also can't believe it was common for school kids to be required to read the Bible for their elementary education. My, how times have changed! Well it was nice chatting with you today!


Yes I tried to watch every nfl game. Do you like Tom Brady?


I like him. I guess he is a book author now as well.


Yes, he got a best selling athlete bible that he believe to help him to play top games at the age of 40.


I guess if it works for him that is great. Did you know women can play in the NLF?


Yes, I like women, but I think this is too ambitious. I don't think 250 or 300 lbs. men hitting women would be safe, women's bodies aren't made for that.


I guess not but it would be interesting to see, maybe have more of a mix in the game


Yes but I can see lawsuits and low ratings, because I don't think men are going to hit women the same way they hit men. Some men can't take those hits.


Yeah that is true. What do you think about that cheerleader rule in New Orleans


That's something else, I don't understand the reason, I wonder do they get a refund if that shall happen?


I am not sure but having to leave because a player walks in is just strange and sexist


Yes you're right, that is sexist, I think women should do something about that and be able to keep their jobs.


Yes agreed totally there. Do you know what the highest score in football game is?


Yes I think it was 222-0 georgia Tech vs cumberland, which I never heard of  cumberland, have you?


I have not and I bet you Georgia Tech are bragging about that to this day


Yes and I pretty sure that was cumberland coach last coaching season. I know they got teased for days.


Yeah, pretty sad day for them. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


Yes try to read the bible a lot, my favorite chapter is Psalm. I also learn certain verses. what about you, do you read the bible?


No I do not but I guess it was part of the cirriculum in elementary education prior to 1963


Yes you are right, several members of my family, brothers and sisters preach, though a lot of people don't believe in women preaching.


Oh wow did not know that is the case. Interesting fact there.


Yes me too. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


I do know that, I live in the city and have actually seen it, do you know why it is pink?


I am not sure what their reason behind it is to be honest. Do you have a clue what it might be?


Yes, the coach back in the day was a psychology major, and found pink was calming. Crazy


Wow I did not know that. Cool one. Do you know what the highest score in college football game is?


I heard it was 222-0 back in 1916. I would have quit if I were on the losing team!


Yeah that is a pretty bad beating. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


I did not know that. That is interesting. You think men can play in the WNBA?


I sure would like to see them switch sometimes. They seem to be using tracking chips on the players now. What do you think about those?


I think that is awesome. They are probably created by engineers that make lots of money.


I bet you they were. They track velocity and rotation and such so I wonder if they can be used to make the game safer


Nice! Did you know engineers make more money over time than NFL players do?


I guess that makes sense since their careers are longer too and they have more time to make money


For sure, but I bet NFL players are paid more per hour. Did you know an NFL game has 11 actual minutes of gameplay?


That just seems so short but I can see how that is for sure, lots of downtime in there


For sure, between the commercials, play clock, time outs, etc. Not much action!


Yeah exactly. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I am not religious but I do know some facts about it.


hey did you know that the bible has sold over 5 billion copies? Its the most influential book of all time that's crazy


Wow, billion! That's a lot of copies! That must mean it's translated into various different languages around the world right?


yup thats right, interesting that different religions all use the same bible to get their views, like the Jews and then the Chrisitians


Yeah and prior to 1960s, students were required to read the bible as part of their elementary education, do you think that should occur in today's schools?


no probably not, I think school and religion should be kept separate, I would like to read Jeffersons bible though


Jefferson released a bible? The previous president, Thomas Jefferson?


yup that's him, he cut out all the supernatural parts like the resurrection, so I guess its more of just a regular book haha


Roosevelt and Adams were the only two US presidents to not use a bible at their swear in ceremonies, what do you think they used instead?


ya thats a good question, maybe the constitution? I don't know, did you know the tower of babel was based on a real building btw?


Perhaps they used law books or something like what some Supreme Court justices did when they were being sworn in. Which real building was it based off of?


it was the Etemenanki, its a building in Iraq and still exists, I don't know what it looks like though
