Hello there, are you a big fan of football?

No, especially high school football.
I find really boring.
You?

Yeah I follow the NFL just a bit, but only my local team I would say.

I have to agree with the parents who don't want their children to play because of health concerns

Yeah I wouldn't want my kids to play football.

Did you see the movie Concussion?

The Will Smith movie?

Yes I thought it was good.

Have you ever heard of this coach Willie Williams?

great name

Yeah that one, I think if people watch it, they have second thoughts about how damaging the sport can be.

And no, I haven't heard of him but I agree what a name.

I agree about the movie.

I expect there will be a lot of changes in the coming years.

I get a kick out of the fact that in the 60's bowlers made twice as much as football stars.

How things have changed!

Yeah that is a wild fact, I guess the thing to do was to be a bowler in the 60's, that was the life!

Sure would be a lot easier physically than football.

Did you see espn won an emmy for creating that superimposed yellow line representing the first down?

I wonder what year that was

Yeah I am trying to think if I can remember watching games before it happened.

I know I have but it's just so part of the game now I can't really remember.

I'm sure it was innovative and useful, but winning an emmy for that seems a bit much.

Yeah it does but I don't know too much about all the categories.

Do you know what the highest score game of football ever was?

In 1916, 222-0.

That must have been one boring game.

I would assume the rules were a bit different in 1916

Yeah good call.

I agree, it sounds like there would be a touchdown on every play.

The defense must have just stood there.

Did you see that an average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?

This would be part of why I find it boring I think.

Yeah you can't tell as much on tv, but I know when you go to games and watch live, there are so many breaks and stopages

I had no idea the NFL uses tracking chips on its players to record every move on the field.

Very high  tech

Yeah I think they use tracking stuff a lot more.

I know they have in helmets as well, hopefully tracking hits to the head.

Hopefully.

The last line on my article says there is a variation of soccer where 3 teams face each other at the same time.

That might actually be fun to watch!

That would be pretty wild for sure.

Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


Hello!

I hope today we can have a good discussion about football and religion, and how in some cases they have merged.

I think Brady is looking for a way to stay relevant and this spirituality through football is a bit ridiculous.

Honestly, same.

When Daniel Wann said "sports might bring people together better than religion" I honestly scoffed at how absurd that statement is.

If anything I think that the idea of sports tends to make people more divisive.

It is crazy how bitter and competitive people get about teams.

Same, if I would agree with anyone from these articles I would agree with Bob Ryan because he's skeptical about it - as he should be!

I wonder if people would be as apt to follow brady if he was losing more than he was winning.

I doubt it, which is funny seeing as when it's about religion, people will follow through almost anything.

I wonder if he is setting it up to have some sort of cult or MLM stuff once he is finally too old play anymore.

To be honest that would be pretty cool.

I enjoy learning about cults, they're interesting.

I was surprised when I read the NFL has no rule against female players!

That sure is suprising considering how male dominated the sport is.

Honestly, yeah.

Did you see about girls being allowed into Boy Scouts?

Gets me pretty riled up lol.

Did you see that it used to be required to read from a bible in the U.S?

I know that it was commonly used as reading curriculum.

It was an easily accessible book and quite a challenging read.

I wish they still had classes in high school at least!

Not forced, but optional.. Did you read that Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely pink???

That cracked me up.

That does seem like something Iowa would do.

They are quite into razzing other players from opposite teams.

Really?

I don't know much about them honestly... What do you know?

There is a huge rivalry between the two teams from the main Iowa colleges.

Either you are a hawkeye fan or an UN of I fan.

They are as bad as packers and vikings fans

Ahh...

It's like that down here in Alabama!!

Did you see the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live game-play?

The rest of the time must be spent on huddles and waiting for the snap.

I wonder if other forms of football have more action time.

Yeah, that seems kinda silly to me to waste all that time..

It really does.

I wonder if there was more time to the cumberland game where they set the high score record.

What was that all about?
The cumberland game?

Cumberland completely whupped Georgia back at the beginning of the century.

It was 222-0.

I mean at some point you just need to give up.

D a n g that's crazy.
Well thanks for the great conversation!

Yes it was a nice chat.


Do you like Football and Avocado Ice cream?

Well not together or in that order but Avocado Ice cream is a good with almonds.

It's also  of Bradys things.

He is amazing.

Ah.

The renowned Tom Brady.

Did you know that to Tom Brady, football has become a religion?

I was very fascinated by that!

He truly is amazing, Yes, I heard something about that.

He has become more spiritual and even has some best selling book called "athletes bible" He is on a spiritual quest.

Well if he looks to football as a religion, I am not very surprised.

According to Chris Beneke, football fans also have a near-religious devotion to the sport.

I guess it is not just Tom Brady.

Thats interesting!

Im actually going to check out the series Tom VS Time - He is interested in finding the why's of life.

Speaking of football, I recently learned that the locker room for visiting football teams in the University of Iowa is painted pink.

Imagine that!

That hilarious to see the visiting teams face when they see that locker room haha!

I agree, it must be demoralizing to walk into a room painted pink!

I think everyone should wear pink!

but i can see from a "macho" stand point thinking pink is "offensive" its mostly as a joke, Speaking of schools Georgia tech had the highest score recorded ever 222-0 when they defeated cumberland

We cannot talk about football without mentioning the NFL.

Did you know that average NFL game has only 11 minutes of live gameplay?

Only 11 minutes of the broadcast is actual running around!

I couldn't believe it when I found out about that, had no idea and how about that superimposed yellow line?

Someone won an Emmy for that!

That's fascinating!

The lifetime earnings of engineers are higher than NFL players.

It is probably because NFL players can only play football for so many years.

Thats true!

Although Football in other Countries is known as Soccer which Soccer pays way more than MLB and NFL and there are so many variations of football which as known as football codes

Yes, in Australia's version of football is rugby football.

All of these variations of football is confusing me.

Me too!

also makes sense football players dont make as much since a regular season is 17 weeks running from September to December.I should know by now since my father and law and husband are nuts over it

Continuing off your point, top bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much as football stars!

And I thought that professional athletes made a lot.

I know!

Thats crazy to think about.

I wonder how much Brady makes especially since he has won 6 Superbowls!

He is known as a Messiah Figure for a lot of Patriot fans

And then you remember that Engineers make more than Tom Brady in their lifetimes and if this  was half a century ago, a bowler would make twice as much as Tom Brady!

Yes!

at least he doesn't have to worry about it since his mega super model Gisele Bundchen more than doubles his salary.

The NFL is probably the most gender inclusive sport.

They are allowed to play in the NFL if they meet the league's skill requirements.

Indeed, It would be cool to see other females play but honestly I would be scared for my little body with all those big though and rough players... id be happy if they carry me places but not sandwich me in a fast field...nooo but awesome if one of us makes it out there I will sure be cheering!Fun chat!

Good night!

I agree, with all of the concussions gained from football it would be a challenge for a female to play it professionally.

Good night to you too!

agree, but will keep fingers crossed.
Good night, XO


Tom Brady created a new lifestyle routine called the TB12 Method.

Basically it includes everything from dieting and personal training to encouragement and lifestyle mantras

I heard about that, it's his book right?

Yes, basically Tom Brady is trying to start a new kind of spiritualism based off of how he sees the game of football.

What do you think about it?

I think it's great, whatever works for him to be the best he can be.

I also heard he has a documentary series.

yes, the doco series pretty much follows how he came up with this philosophy.

It talks about his journey to self discovery

I watched the first two episodes that came out January 25th.

It focused on his physical and mental preparation.

I thought it was very good.

Oh ok.

I have always wondered how much the physical preparation takes a toll on ones mental state over time, especially for professional sports.

Do they talk about that in the doco series?

Yeah they do, it really gives you a different outlook on his life.

Thats cool.

Some people have said that Belichick( the coach) doesn't seem to have the same type of charisma and charm that Brady has, even though they may have the same spirit for the game Do you agree with this statement?

I do agree with the statement.

Although he might not have the same charisma, fans really do have faith in Belichick.

So much they have their own creed "In Bill We Trust".

I agree too, ultimately the coach can make or break a team.

Some have complained about the religious devotion to the Patriots that fans often have, but I don't think this is anything new.

Do you think the devotion is well balanced, or a little much in your opinion?

I feel like it's more with the patriots just because of how much they have accomplished.

Same, I dont really see the same kind of devotion for  a lot of other teams out there in football, there isnt anything quite like it.

I feel like its ok to be so devoted to ones team, especially since they are a very good team.

I dont know how I feel about it being talked about in church, but to each their own

I don't think so either, it feels a bit much.

I agree with the now retired columnist Bob Ryan, he feels like promoting good nutrition and fitness is fine, but don't feel as if Brady is a spiritual figure.

I wonder if people see him as a spiritual leader because of his great comeback at the Super Bowl, when the Patriots were down 28 to 3 and he brought it back somehow.

However, I dont think its really fair to credit just Brady, seeing as it takes a whole team to do that sort of thing.

Same here, it does take a whole team.

For example, the highest score in football was in 1916 when Georgia Tech defeated cumberland 222-0.

Now thats team work!

Absolutely!

Either that or the other team was just really bad.

Maybe they intimidated them by painting their locker room pink like university of Iowa did.

Maybe.

Of course if they never had a fumble that could help too.

RB Benjarvus has never had a fumble in his entire career playing for the Patriots, which seems almost impossible.

Wow, that does seem impossible.

I wonder how much bowlers made in the 1960's, it was more than football players.

Yep, about twice as much.

Of course, we have to take into account the word football talks about so many other games other then just American football, such as soccer.

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that.

Yep, football is a game with a lot of meaning and history behind it.


hey would you read a book by Tom Brady?

I want to read his new one The TB12 method

I find it unlikely.
What is his new book about?

its basically his strategy for how he became successful, I think its worth a read, can't believe hes 40 and is tied for the superbowl record

That is pretty amazing.
Are you a fan of football?

ya I think football is ok, I like the big games but don't follow a team or anything, you?

I am.

I'm a Bears fan.

Were you aware that ESPN won an Emmy for creating the yellow line that marks the first down position?

I can't imagine watching a game without that.

no that was a great inventino!

definitely worth it, I also love how a team painted the other sides locker room pink, I wonder if their record improved after that

I had heard about that.
What a mind game.
Was that the University of Iowa?

haha ya it was, I wonder if they have a player that has never fubmled the ball like benjarvus Green-ellis

I was not aware that a player had never fumbled a ball.

That's amazing!

I don't recognize the name.

What team did he play for?

ya it was the patriots, he's super good, did you know that bowling was super popular in the 60s?

I did not.

I remember it being more popular than it is now but I did not know that it was actually popular.

yup they even made twice as much as football players back then, thats nuts!

Wow!

That would never happen now.

Did you know that there are no written rules against female players in the NFL?

no thats interesting, I think we coul dhave a female kicker or something, I just don't know if they could run quick enough, women do have lower muscle mass

I think kicker would be good.

I think they could run fast enough.

They would still have to pass requirements and with those men being so huge I don't think they would be able to play any other position.

ya if they cna pass the requirements then I dont see any problems, I jsut know that, for instance, top womens tennis players were beaten by high school students, that is why olympic games separate the mens and womens divisions

I did not know that.

Did you know that there are tracking chips in players shoulder pads and in the footballs in the NFL?

ya I did know about that, it can track all kinds of stats like speed, directino, acceleration and rotation, I hope they can use that information to help prevent concussions

I hope so too.

I wonder why they are not using that data to help make calls rather than just relying on reviews?

ya I agree, I think refs should be more impartial and use the chips to track that stuff, what do you think about the bible btw?

I do not have any real opinion one or another.

I see good and bad in it.


Do you like football?

I'm not a huge Tom Brady fan, but apparently following him is like a religion for some people.

It seems that way now.

DId you know he is a book author as well now?

Yeah, and he calls it "The Athlete's Bible".

I feel like that's offensive to the Bible.

It might just be.

And have you heard about that documentary series, Tom vs Time?

Yeah.

It looks like he takes football really serious, so much so that it's spiritual for him.

Seems that way, his religion he said.
Did you know women can play in the NFL

That's pretty cool, but it's a pretty sexist organization so I'm not sure how enjoyable it would be to be in the league.

If you're a Saints cheerleader, you have to leave the restaurant if a player comes into where you're eating.

That rule is outdated and really needs to go now.

So strange.

Did you hear they are using tracking chips on the players?

Yeah, technology has grown in the game quite a but.

ESPN won an Emmy for that little yellow, first down line.

Yes that is true and I am glad they came up with that line because it makes watching the game much easier

Definitely.

Can you believe the former Patriots running back never fumbled the football his entire career?

That is so amazing.

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

Yeah, it was 222 during a college game in 1916.

Yeah Georgia Tech really went all out on theta game against Cumberland.

Yeah, just like Iowa does for their guests!

Their visiting team locker room is painted pink!

I wonder why that is.

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

Only that it used to be required for students to read in school before 1963, which is nuts to think about.

Yes it is and I am glad that is not the case anymore.

It is still one of the most influential books in history though

Not influential enough for Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams; neither of them used a bible for their swearing in.

Good point.

And also Jefferson created his own version because he did not like the supernatural stuff in it

That's silly to carve out the stuff about miracles and resurrections...

It relates to the story, ultimately.

They must've included it for a reason.


hi there, do you watch the NFL?

I sure do.
Do you have a favorite team or player?

I sure do.
I love the Patriot and Tom is amazing.
Do you have one?

The guys is awesome and now also a book author.

Did you hear about that?

Oh yeah I heard he wrote that book The TB12 Method, the Athelete's Bible but have not read it yet

He is everywhere.

I want to read that book but I also want to watch the documentary too

Same here.

Do you know he has a favorite ice cream flavor?

Oh sure it is avocado and I am not surprised he eats very healthy all the time

Yup pretty much.

Did you know women are allowed to play in the NFL?

That is pretty cool that there is no written rule against them and hope to see them in the field soon

Yeah I hope so too.

Did you know engineers make more int heir lifetime?

Yeah and I wonder if that fact that they have longer careers has anything to do with that

That makes sense.

The NFL is using tracking chips on the players now.

Yes they are and they are collecting many stats such as velocity and rotation and others

Yeah.

Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?

Of course I do, he played for the Patriots and never fumbled the ball in his career

Yup pretty much.

DO you know the highest score recorded in a college football game?

Yup that was quite something, 222-0 with Georgia Tech beating Cumberland

Yeah exactly.
Did you know ESPN won and Emmy once?

It was for the superimposed yellow line and I think they deserved it

Yup.
DO you know much about the Bible?

I know what Jefferson created his own version of it without the supernatural parts

Yeah he did and Roosevelt and Quincy did not use it to swear in


Are you a fan of football?

Yes I am, are you, if you are what is your favorite team?

I am a Bears fan.
How about yourself?

I am a pittsburgh steelers fans, the bears did pretty good the past season.

Yes they did.

All came down to a stupid kick ha ha.

Anyway, did you know that in the 60's top bowlers made more than top football players?

No I didn't know that, I always hear that most sports make more than nfl, which I think it's unfair.

I'm positive it's not the case now.

Do you know what the highest score in a football game ever was?

Yes it was 222-0, I wonder what college they played or sounds more like a high school football team.

It was Georgia Tech against Cumberland.

How is it even possible to score that many points in one game?

It is possible, because I am also a college football fan more than nfl and now a college team scores almost 80 points in a game if they are laying low rank team.

Wow!

I only watch pro football so I was not aware that that happened.

Speaking of college football did you hear what the University of Iowa did to the visiting team's locker room?

Yes, painted the guest locker room pink, I guess they trying to say their opponents are girls.

I suppose so.

What a strange thing to do.

Do you remember the RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?

I don't remember him, but I read about he never fumbled the football in his nfl career.

That's right.
He played for the Patriots.
That's a pretty impressive stat.

Yes it was, I wonder why no one give the rams any credit during the superbowl, they did played well with an impressive record.

They had a very impressive season.

I really thought they were going to go to the Superbowl.

Did you also know that ESPN created the yellow line we see on TV that marks the first down?

Can you imagine watching a game without that?

No, I can't, but I wonder what they were using at the beginning of football, before espn came up the line.

That's a good question.

It seems like it would have been difficult as a viewer regardless.

Have you heard that the average amount of live gameplay is 11 minutes?

I was thinking about that, I can't see how is that possible, divide into four quarters.

Me either.
It seems impossible.


Hi.
Do you watch the NFL?

I love the NFL.

My team is the Buffalo Bills, so I'm not much of a Patriots fan.

You?

I used to an NFL fan, but I live in a city they recent;y abandoned so I'm not into it at all anymore.

I hate the Patriots, though

That makes two of us.

You can't argue with Tom Brady's success, though.

Are you familiar with his TB12 method?

I had never heard of it before.
Have you seen the documentary about it?

I haven't, but I'd be curious to watch.

As I understand it, Brady describes the method as his "bible."

I agree it would be an interesting watch.

I hate him, but I give him credit for still being good this late in his career.

Gotta be something to that method.

Yep, to be 40 years old and still winning is pretty impressive.

It's crazy the technology that's available these days.

Did you know they put tracking chips in the players uniforms to keep track of them on the field?

Yeah, that's nuts.

They are using it to track the footballs too.

I wonder what they are going to do with the data?

I wonder if they'll use it like the AAFL is using it (the new league that lets you track the players movements via an app).

That would be an interesting new feature.

Kind of like when they added the yellow first down marker to the telecast.

Yeah, that would be interesting, and would make the game more interactive for the fans.

Maybe that'll help keep them interested since there are only 11 minutes of action in a game

It's crazy to think of that, and compare it to another sport like soccer where there's "action" throughout the entire game.

Although I still much prefer football.

They never score enough in soccer.

There'd be no chance of anyone ever hitting 222 points in a soccer game (which is the record for most points in a football game).

Yeah, soccer is constant but boring beyond belief lol.

I can't imagine a score that high.

You'd think they would have cut off the game at a certain point.

Yep.

It's impressive how far the league has come.

In the 1960s, bowlers were making more than football players, which would be unheard of today.

Yeah, its changed.

Engineers still earn more in their lives than the average football or MLB player.

Guess I should go back to school lol

Yep.

Of course, you probably wouldn't do much Bible study if you went back for engineering.

They used to incorporate the book as part of regular education, but that stopped in 1963.

Yeah, they could teach Thomas Jefferson's version.

He cut out all the parts he didn't like with a razor

Interesting approach by Mr. Jefferson, although he was sworn in on the Bible.

Only Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams were sworn in on something other than the Bible.

I didn't even know that was an option!

I also didn't know that Malus means both apple and evil

Learn something new every day.

Perhaps that's how Tom Brady keeps going.

I wouldn't mind if he hung it up and allowed some of the other teams to get a chance at winning one or two Super Bowls.

I agree.
He's 40.
Time to step aside old man!


Hello, are you a fan of the NFL?

I am a pretty big fan.

It's tough that it's over, but at least there is a new AAF league.

What about you?

Yeah I watch it from time to time.
Did you know women can play too?

Interesting.

While it might be tough for them to compete physically like that, there isn't a rule against it I guess?

I wonder how the New Orleans Saints would deal with that, because their cheerleaders can't even be in the same restaurant as the players!

I think that rule needs to get out of there.

the worst part is that they have to leave mid meal if a player walks in

I wonder what caused it, but there must have been a time when that fraternization was frowned upon.

As much as they invest in these players, maybe it makes sense?

After all they have created chips that track almost every on-field movement, maybe they need one for off-field too?

Maybe so.

I hope the data they are collecting in the field though can somehow be used to make the game a little bit safer

Amazing that a game which averages just over 10 minutes of actual gameplay can be so damaging to players.

Great point.

Do you know what the highest score recorded in a game was?

I'd be really curious to know, what was it?

It was 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland

Wow!

No wonder I never heard of Cumberland before.

Maybe they should have painted their locker room pink like Iowa does now, just to give them any psychological edge.

Yeah that is a good point there.

Did you know they are using tracking chips on the players now?

I was aware of that and mentioned it a little earlier.

I guess they need to track everything.

Football players have short careers.

Despite what they make, it's interesting that engineers make more over a career than someone playing in the NFL.

Yeah I think that explains that.

On another topic do you know much about the Bible?

I know a fair amount, but I've never been much for memorizing chapter and verse like some people.

I guess I was born a little too late and reading the bible was no longer part of elementary school.

Yeah, interesting that is used to be part of elementary education up until '63.

That is pretty late

I am sure President Thomas Jefferson knew it well, but he also made his own Bible.

I guess he didn't agree with what he considered supernatural, and cut all those things out of his version.

Yeah, he certainly did not seem to believe in resurrection and the miracles that are within the Bible

I wonder if he was sworn in using his personal version or the standard one?

Two US presidents, Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams, didn't use a bible when they were sworn in though.

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"?

no.
I hadnt heard that.

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.

He is slowing down.
He isnt what he was

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.

I know.
Thats Amazing

Yes indeed...

I didn't realize that the NFL's average gameplay is only 11 minutes.

That seems way low.

I had heard that one before

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

Yes.
I know.

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!


Hello, have you heard about Tom Brady's new book, "The TB12 Method"?

Yes, I have.
I have not read about it though.
What is the book about?

Basically, the book is about Tom's plan of action for your life.

He talks about joy, good health, and peak performance and those things that play a part in that lifestyle.

Do you like Tom Brady?

I am not his fan but I admire his accomplishment.

I am not that familiar with Brady but I've heard a lot about him in the news lately especially since the Patriots won the Super Bowl.

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

I am somewhat familiar but probably not as much as you are.

I would rather go to live games and watch them play.

There are 32 teams within the NFL.

Which one is your favorite team, if any?

I like the Patriots since they are the winners!

I just found out the NFL is divided up between the NFC and AFC.

I think they are divided evenly.

Apparently, the NFL has no written rule against women football players.

Yes, how about that?

Anyone can play as long as they meet the league's eligibility requirements.

Did you know that there's only 11 minutes of game play in an average NFL game?

I just found out recently.

I could not believe it.

So, what did the players do most of the time then?

Most of the time is actually taken up with calls on plays,  calculating yardage, etc, etc.

Also, as a matter of trivia, did you know that the highest score in a football game was 222 to 0?

I heard about it but I do not remember which teams played that particular game.

I would like to know  who won and who lost very badly.

Ok, I can help you out with that.

Yes, that was back in 1916 when Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland by 222 points to zero.

Wow, what shame that must have brought!

I wonder if Cumberland players were walking around on the field sleeping.

By the way, do you know who came up with the yellow line on the football field?

Yes, that was ESPN who actually won an Emmy for that strategy to superimpose that yellow line on the screen to mark first down.

How genius was that?

It was very genius.

I cannot imagine any football field without the yellow line.

Yes, a lot of innovations for football have come out of this century but a lot of drawbacks as well.

Did you know that the New Orleans Saint's cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player?

And if they are already dining in a restaurant and an NFL player comes in afterward, the cheerleaders must leave?

I'd say that's a step back !

I do not like that at all.

If the cheerleaders are already at the restaurant, they should be allowed to finish their meal.

I wonder who came up with that odd rule.

Yes, I wonder too.

Well, nice chatting with you, have a good one.


Have you read Tom Brady's book?

No I have not, have you?

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.


Religion and football, do you think they have similarities?

I think if you look hard enough you find similarity in everything.

You?

Not really, but I guess I respect Bradys opinion on the matter, he is a great player and takes his job seriously

Yeah apparently Bravado ice cream is a secret of his.

You ever had it?

No, but I might start, maybe that will boost my athletic capabilities and I can become a great QB

You never know.

As far as religion goes Brady has made football his.

Well he does breathe football, eat football and sleep football.

He has a strong will and determination.

His success with the Patriots is proof of that.

I agree you can't take anything away from his accomplishments but the Messiah.

It does seem exaggerated, but many fans look at him that way, I wonder what are their views on Bill Belichick

I don't know but Brady appears to be on another level.

I wonder if it has anything to do with his friend.

you know the son of Deepak Chopra.

I have no clue about that, but I find interesting how ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow first down line

I love that line, haha!

Hey did you know that Jefferson created his own version of the Bible?

I didnt know that, was it similar to the original one?

I don't know but apparently he cut with a razor all the parts about Miracles, the resurrection and supernatural events.

I wonder why he did that, maybe he didnt agree with that part of the bible,

Well those are the most important parts, kind of weird he should have just bought a non-fiction book instead.

Yeah seems like a better way, reading a non fiction book and leaving that poor bible alone, if you dont agree with a book you shouldnt take it out on it

Right, to funny!

Hey you know there were to presidents that did not use the bible at their swearing in?

No, who were those presidents?

I bet they werent religious and also that it cost them votes later

Well it was Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams.

I wonder if they used anything else or just made a promise to do right by the constitution.

That is an interesting thing to google,


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

Yes, do you like football?

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?

It That is an interesting coincidence.

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!

I think it might help prevent injury.

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!
!

Great chat, cat!

Have a great day!
!


Do you like footbal?

I do.
I like Tom Brady.
Do you?

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

I didn't realize there were 32 teams.

Yeah 32 teams, 16 in each division,

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.


Hi , do you watch the NFL?

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


Are you a football fan?

Hi!
I watch it from time to time, are you?
Have a favorite player or team

I only watch a little.
I dont really have a favorite player.

I think a famous one is Tom Brady, especially with the release of his docuseries called "Tom vs. Time", have you seen or heard about it?

I havent seen it but I have heard about it, you?

I haven't, I think a lot of people haven't seen it is because it's broadcasted on Facebook Watch, do you use that feature of Facebook?

I do not, Ill catch some stuff there once in a while but not regularly.

I heard his TB12 method is like a religion to some

Yeah people invest a lot of hope into the team.

They even have their own creed called "In Bill we Trust" for their worship of the Patriot's coach.

Even though they describe him as a raggamuffin, they still love him.

He doesnt have Brady's charisma though

Haha, what's a raggamuffin?

What did he do to warrant that nickname?

Its is sloppy looking fashion sense.
Kind of unkempt.

Oh ok, I didn't know that about him.

Maybe Bill was hoping the camera's wouldn't focus on his fashion style since there's only eleven minutes of live gameplay.

Crazy that really is all that there is when games take 3-4 hours.

Yeah, I devote an entire afternoon to watch the game, if the games were longer than eleven minutes, I think I'd be a couch potato the whole day!

Don't think I mind that too much though.

Same here.

Id live on the couch if that were the case and get far less done than I already do.

With only eleven minutes of gameplay, they still earn millions but somehow bowlers back in the day made much more than NFL players, hard to believe that still exists today.

True.

I wonder how much each was making in the 60's to make it even.

Was bowling ever that popular.

Yeah, does professional still exist?

I'd imagine sports companies wouldn't be able to endorse them because I don't think they make any bowling clothes.

True, I can't name one professional bowler, past or present.

Me neither, if anything, I definitely don't think they are broadcasted on Sunday which is when football games are broadcasted and Super Bowl is held first Sunday in February.

Some popular TV shows dont even want to compete with that.

Its been great chatting, but I must get going.

Have a great day!


Howdy!
Are you a fan of football?

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.

Nice chatting!


Hi!
Are you a fan of the NFL?

I love to watch football but don't get to as much anymore.

You?

Same, I cut cable a while ago, so I dont see as much.

But I hear Tom Brady has really been dominating lately.

Yeah i think this is his 5th ring.

Apparently he has some regiment called TB12 Method that includes Avocado ice cream.

Avocado Ice Cream sounds like something someone would either love or hate.

But something has to be working because he is 40 and still going.

Yeah i guess your right.

Did you know that once upon a time bowler made twice as much as top nfl players?

That is crazy!

I wonder what the pay was then?

I think it is kinda high now, especially when you look at the fact that there is only 11 minutes of game play during any given game.

Right, i think all sports player are over paid.

They need to use some of that money to pay for universal health care in my opinion.

I agree.

Though the earnings of an engineer over their life time are higher that the earnings of a football player.

That makes me feel a little better.

Until you think about retirement age.

I'll take ten and out with millions over forty plus and out with millions.

lol.

What about you?

Same here.

I would rather a few years to make my millions.

Iowa States visiting locker room is painted pink.

Nice intimidation tactic.

I guess that wold be shocking the first time you see it.

Yeah and after words maybe on a subconscious level.

You know the highest scoring game of all time?

Yeah it was 222-0.
What a blow out!

Yeah Georgia Tech was not playing around.

I would have hated to be on the bus ride home to Cumberland.

Agreed, or have my name associated with that team.

That must have been a rough game for the,.

On a different note do you own a bible?

I do.

I have done more reading from the ones in apps recently though.

It is interesting that Thomas Jefferson used a razor to make his own version cutting out the supernatural parts.

Well I have to go.

Nice Chat

You too!

Yes that is weird should have just bought a fiction book.

For real!


Who knew Brady was so Spiritual, Did you know not only is he a famous football player he has been successful in writing and now in a deep spiritual quest.

I Love him :)

I think he is certainly a dominant force in football.

He is hard to beat.

Yes!

He is unbelievable!

Brady and The Patriots are favored to win in the Super Bowl LII.

I can see it... also, have you tried avocado Ice cream?!

Its one of Bradys fav flavors ha,ha its not bad ive tried it.. Have you?

I haven't but I think I would like to, I like avocado and guac so I think it would be pretty good.

Its good, just make sure it has almonds!

it makes it better.

I'll have to do it.
Have you read his book?

athlete's bible I think its called.

Ive never read it but Id be interested in taking a lot inside of that beautiful mind.

lol

I think he calls his methods the TB12 method.

I didn't know he was 40!

I definitely want to know his secrets.

Goes to show you money is not everything.

He has it all yet he is still looking for a meaning to life.

Successfull career, a Beautiful Top Model Wife, Money, loads of it, kids a house, materials everything but still looking for a meaning... its Beautiful that we can all relate even if our lives are completely different.

We are all One.

I know!

He is still playing at a tip top level, and winning.

It would be interesting to see his tracking numbers.

since the NFL has a chip embedded in the footballs and in the shoulder of the players to measure speed and distance.

It would, and the ball to see exactly how fast he can fling it.

Yes!

and who knew that the average nfl game has only 11 minutes of live game play!

my father and law and husband make it feel like eternal haha

That is because it is an eternity.
I mean 4 hours for 11 minutes of play?
Not the quickest game in the world.

Just like Monopoly!

I couldnt do it, Im too impatient and not that strong for football.

Im afraid Ill break something these days.

Even though it would be interesting to see a female in the NFL, hopefully someday we see it, there are currently no written rule against female players

As long as they are treated better than the cheerleaders I think it could be a good thing.

They dont treat cheerleaders too well.

Oh true!

thats what I heard!

especially in the New Orleans Saints, apparantly cheerleaders cant be in the same restaurant as the players.

If they are they must leave... thats terrible.

I wonder why

I dont know what kind of incident could have prompted a rule like that.

It is a little overboard in my opinion.

Your right, something must of happened.

Times sure have changed, for starters back in the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars!

That is crazy, I wonder how good the pay was.

I mean if bowlers were getting the same pay it couldnt have been great.

Nothing like what engineers made at the time.

You are right!

I couldn't believe it.

The average engineers is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an nfl player and mlb.

Soccer is the highest paid however.


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.

And if I were cumberland

What is cumberland?

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.

Tom Brady's bible?

No the holy bible


Do you watch the NFL ?

Yes, The NFL is one of the major sports leagues in North America and the highest professional football league in the world.

What about the other kind of football like soccer, do you watch them ?

Yes, Football is the team sports which is referred by different names in different place.

But every one like it to play.

Yes but do you like to watch soccer ?
or rugby or Canadian football ?

I like all the game my favourite player is Rugby.

which is your favourite game ?

I like Canadian football, it is like the NFL, but slightly modified.

The NFL regular season run from september to December, each have to play 16 games with each other.

Do you think it is enough ?

I would like to see more games, don't you ?

Which is your favourite team ?

I like the Pats, Tom Brady is super good, he wrote a book, The TB12 method, it is very good.

Tom Brady is the best player in New England Patriots, he played top of his game at age 40.

Yeah, The Pats where losing 28 to 3  in the Super bowl, but to won in overtime.

They are legendary.

Oct 7, 1916 was the sad day for cumberland bulldog for losing the match with Georgia tech.

Yeah that was a great game for one of them and a horrible game for the other.

How would you feel if you were on the losing team ?

Winning or Loosing is not a matter.

How they played is everything, next time they want to work hard for their winning.

Yeah but losing 222-0, you have to feel something.

I would be almost proud.

Its very shocking.

But we want to identify our mistakes and correct them and move to the next game.

Don't you think, it would be better just to forget to the game, because a loss of 222 points there nothing to learn from it.

What we want to do ?

I would go to bar and just forget the game, and think about the next game as if the 0-222 loss never happened.

Just Relax, The team was improved and work hard to improve the game.

Maybe they have read the bible to get peace.

It was until 1963 that US student were required to read the bible in a classroom, that is quite shocking.

Bible is the relation between the God and Human.

It give more confident and god always with us.

But each version is so different, which one is the right one ?

Even Thomas Jefferson modified it.

yes, The biblical tower of babel was likely based on a real building, in modern Iraq.

That is interesting, maybe I will go there to see it.

Have a nice day.


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

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.


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

Hi there for sure, do you have a favorite team or player?

I do I like the Patriots and Brady is my favorite player.

ANd you?

Me tooo.

He is a book author now as well, did you know that?

Yeah the wrote the Athlete's Bible, the TB12 Method Have you read it?

Yeah and there is also that documentary on Facebook starring him

Oh yeah Tom versus Time I want to watch it too.

Do you know what his favorite ice cream flavor is?

With a guy like him, avocado makes sense because he is very dedicated to his health

Exactly.
Did you know women can play in the NFL?

Oh year as long as they make the cut.
Do you know if any of them have tried?

I am not sure actually.

Maybe more of them are becoming engineers, that is a better professon

Well engineers make more money because their careers are longer so I would opt for that too

Yeah I think that plays a lot into that.

Did you hear about tracking chips on the players?

They are using them to track rotations and velocity and a bunch of other stuff during the ganes

Yeah exactly.

Do you know who benjarvus Green-Ellis is?

The guy is a legend, he has ever fumbled the ball in his career

Exactly.

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

Yes I feel bad for Cumberland to lose 222-0 from Georgia Tech

Yeah what a game.
Did you know ESPN won an Emmy?

Oh for the yellow line and I am happy because it makes game watching much easier

Yeah me too.

On another topic do you know much about the Bible?

Some stuff as it is one of the most influential books in history

Yeah it has sold over 5 billion copies, that says a lot about it

It sure does.
Nice chatting with you today.


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

Yes, I like to watch nfl games, do you like the games also?

Yes me too.

Did you know the U of Iowa visitor locker room is pink?

Yes I read about it, I guess they are trying to make a statement to the visiting teams.

Seems like it.

DO you know what the highest score in a game was?

Yes if I am right, it was 222-0 georgia Tech vs Cumberland, have you heard of Cumberland before?

I have actually not and that is quite the score.

Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?

Yes for creation of the yellow line representing the first down for football.

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

Do you think they should?

250-300 lbs men hitting smaller women would certainly make things different.

Yeah that is a good point.

Maybe they should stick to engineering there is more money there

Yes I agree, I think wnba is great and maybe women should get a all women pro team called wnfl and see how that work out for them.

Yeah that would be great.

Did you know they are using trackers in the players now?

Yes, is that used to keep track of nfl players, I wonder why, this should be like invading their private lives, that's just my opinion.

It is only used in the field to track their velocity and rotation and such.

Hopefully they can use that to make the game safer too

Yes, you are right, this is good for their safety, do you agree that the average nfl games last 11 minutes?

It seems that they are pretty short yeah but we have to be glued to the tv for hours until that ends

But don't you think that's a little too short to be divided into 4 quarter, quarterback plays, running back plays, kicks field goals that's too much for 11 minutes.

I think the 11 minutes take into account only the time they are running around and not when they get into position and such.

Not sure but I think that us that it is

It got to be something like that, maybe, It average take me eleven minutes just eat, hahahaha.

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


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?

That is wild.

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


Hey are you a football fan?

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.

It is a game I grew up loving to watch.

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.

True.
Well it was nice talking!

You too!

Don't forget to try the avocado ice cream


Hello, are you particularly a fan of football?

I love football but i don't get to watch much anymore.

I hear Tom B wrote a book.

He did, "The TB12 Method" right?

I think it was interesting, one of the things I learnt is his love for "avocado ice cream", would never have guessed that as his secret.

I would have never guessed Avocado's could be made into an ice cream, lol.

Apparently football has become his religion, though.

And I didn't get that at first but I think it makes sense, he's so dedicated to it.

I read something by spiritual writer Deepak Chopra explaining the similarities between sports and religion.

Ok is that his Deepak's son Gotham chopra?

He said tom want something bigger than football.

I don't think so haha, think it's just the same last name.

But I think this Chopra is the one producing the movie "Tom vs. Time", Brady certainly has beaten Father Time so far.

Yeah 40 and winning the super bowl is no small achievement.

Apparently the fans have a creed In Bill we trust"!

Ahah it makes sense, Patriots fans are devoted.

Although it's nothing compared to the love for Brady, fans love Belichick but Brady is basically the Messiah.

What!

Well i guess that's what you call Hell bound fans, lol!

So what is this like his 5th or 6th super bowl ring.

I hear even now he's slated to win the next super bowl.

I think so too!

Although some people are worried about what's going to happen to him after his career.

Bob Ryan said something about the book being creepy, like football is going to take over his life even after he retires.

Yeah what the said was that it sound cultist.

That's nothing i want to dabble in.

I think he's a great player.

Oh definitely, plus it's not surprising how much he's revered, maybe it's a New England thing.

Have you heard of Benjarvus Green-Ellis?

Yeah he's a former patriot player right?

He is!

And one thing he got recognition for was never fumbling the ball throughout his career, I wonder if he ever got an award for it.

If not he should have.

did you know that the Iowa state visiting locker room is painted pink.

I wonder why?

I'm guessing it's too intimidate visitors?

Although by this point I doubt people are still surprised by it, so I don't think it's effective.

Yeah i'm sure your right.

Can you believe top bowlers made more than top nfl players in the 60's?

Did they really?

That's shocking, I wonder why, maybe people didn't care about football as much back then.

Also I'm sure bowling games have more than 11 minutes of game play.

That's unbelievable.
Almost as much as espn winning an Emmy.
do you know what for?

I think it was for creating the first down line!

I guess it shows more people care about football now.

Anyways it was nice talking to you, have a good day!


Hi are you a football fan?

Yep, how bout you

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 his name was benjarvis green ellis

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.


How's it going, are you a football fan?

Tom Brady recently released his best selling TB12 Method

I don't really know much about football, or Tom brady.

What is this book of his?

It's a book that details Brady's diet and training regiment which he credits with being able to still play football at 40

That sounds like an impressive achievement!

Is it a popular book?

Is it for people like me and you?

It's popular with a lot of people, I guess a lot of people view it as a mix of sports and religion

I guess Tom has followers then, like a religious leader.

Yea I guess Boston fans see the Patriots as a religion and Tom Brady as an apostle of the team

Then the team must have other apostles?
Or other religious figures?

They do have a slogan "In Bill We Trust" that refers to the patriots' coach

I guess it sounds like a religion.
Or a cult.
The book must be a best seller.
People follow the guidance in the book?
Make it part of their lives?

Well Tom Brady does and a lot of his teammates, I guess most non athletes who read it are just fans

How many copies has it sold?
It can't nearly so many as the Bible.

I'm not sure but some people think Brady is only motivated by moeny

He probably has a lot of money as a football star.

I wonder how much he can make from a book.

hmm I don't know.

I guess he could always try another sport after football.

The top bowlers in the 1960s made more that the top football stars

That was probably the golden age of bowling.

Many leagues formed, and people tried the sport.

Probably not ever going to be as popular again.

Well Brady could become an engineer, the average engineer makes more than a football player in their lifetime

That sounds like a plan.

The world can always use more engineers.

Yea football players do make a lot of money for only 11 mins of actual gameplay

They do get paid for standing around a lot.

I guess they feel that they have worked hard to get there.

Well I got to go, nice talking with you


Do you like football?

Can't say I'm a fan, I could tell you some basic well know facts, but not much else.

Same, I also only have a passing knowledge in football.

Tom Brady I've heard of, very accomplished and successful.

I guess he's branching out from football.

Well he is considered among the best quarterbacks in history

Maybe it will be worth my time buying his new book and watching his show then.

What is his new book?

The TB12 Method.

some kind of athletes bible, tells you how to be healthy, physically and spiritually.

By spiritually does he mean the mental component?

No, he's starting to conflate sport with religion, I don't really get it myself.

Probably just a gimmick to sell some books.

In any case, I think he is quite the expert in regards to health and the physical body given his achievements

You can't deny his achievements.

Often these books are not even written by the person they are supposed to be done by.

A ghost writers does the work and a famous person adds their name to the cover.

I can see how that could be true, but without proof, I don't want to diminish a persons efforts

It's kind of an open secret, there's always a clue in the legal page at the front.

Will you be watching his documentary Tom vs Time?

Probably not.
Will you?

I barely watch TV anymore, the kids usually have access to it.

Most of my evening is also taken up driving kids to their various sporting activities, not Football though.

Well perhaps you can find a short version that only shows the live gameplay.

Each game is only a dozen or so minutes long of real gameplay

That's another reason why I don't watch football, three hours in front of the television for just 12 minutes of actual action.

I could just grab my Bible instead.

Do you read from the bible often?

Not really.

I'm some times curious when I hear people quote from it.

I used to have to do it in school when I was a kid.

I agree.
In any case, thanks for chatting.


Hi How are you today?

I am good how about you?

I am good.
Do you like Football?

Yes.
Packers fan

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

Yeah, it definitely seems that way

They even have them in footballs now

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

Yep

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

The cell industry is definitely taking over the world.

I totally agree with you on that

Are you religious?

yes.
fairly so

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

Thats wild.

no.
i didnt.
that is wild

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

yes.
i had read that before

Its been nice talking to u


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,


Hi!

Are you familiar with Tom Brady?

I'm very interested in following his TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible!

Hey!
I'm good.
How is your day?
Not really.
What is it about?

To Tom Brady, football is basically a religion and at age 40, he likes to credit that lifestyle brand with being in such great shape.

It's worth checking out!

Are you a football fan at all?

I watch football, not a lot actually.

I like hockey.

I'll check it out for sure.

I know him, but not really familiar with TB12 Method you mentioned.

Have you already tried or just planning to follow?

I plan to follow one day.

Not just for health but to get me through the NFL off-season since the regular season only lasts 17 weeks, which is far too short for us die hard fans.

Ha!

Honestly I've never been able to understand why this is just 17 weeks.

If it was regular and at least 6-7 months, I'll probably follow more regularly lol Are you fan of any team?

I like the league in general.

I like the Saints but I don't like that silly, misogynistic rule they have in place that forbids cheerleaders and players from eating in the same restaurant.

I'm surprised no lawsuits have been filed over that one yet!

Did you know that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

It sounds so surprising and difficult to believe!!

I know, right?

Commercials drag it out to make it seem longer, I suppsoe.

With that and knowing there are no rules against women playing, I'm surprised we haven't had at least a female kicker drafted yet!

Especially in this day and age!

I'm wondering about female players.

What kind of eligibility requirements do they have?

Any idea?

Because still we don't see any female players.

I honestly don't know but perhaps we'll see one someday soon!

Although if a female running back is ever drafted, she'll have a difficult time if she wanted to compete with Benjarvus Green-Ellis who's never fumbled the football in his entire pro career!

True!

I also read that the average lifetime earnings of an enginner is higher than an NFL player.

It's actually Ok, but I was sure they make a lot of money.

Yeah that surprises me!

The people who creates the tracking chips for shoulder pads and football's make more than the actual players themselves!

Ha!

I'm sure you are right.

This industry has a lot of cash.

It looks like players aren't people, who take major part for that.

Bad for them!!

Agreed.

Heck, even in the 1960s, the top bowlers made twice as much than the top football players.

That is just downright sad.

Really?

Ha... That's interesting.

What have changed dramatically after that?

NFL has some strange rules.

For example, New Orleans cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurants as any NFL players.

It looks like stupid rule.

Any idea why?

I don't see any meaning

I know and it sounds like discrimination to be completely honest.

What i also think is silly is Georgia Tech actually beat a team 220-0 once back in 1916.

It's the highest score ever in a football game.

That just sounds humiliating.

I cannot imagine this score and how game was.

Absolutely no.

I'm sure players of lost team remembered it for long time...

Perhaps if Georgia Tech's locker room was pink like the locker room at the University of Iowa, maybe the score would have been different.

Haha then again it probably would have angered them even more.

Good joke!

I also read about pink color of dressing room.

What do they expect should happen?

Do they believe it may change how competitors play?

lol

Ha!

To me, it seems like it would further anger a team which is the last thing I'd wanna do!

Well it was great chatting with you!

I'm gonna go eat an apple.

Speaking of which, the fruit itself only became known as an Apple after the Bible was translated into latin.

Malus actually means both evil and apple.

Ha!

Have a great day!


Howdy, how's it going?

Its going great, how bout yourself

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.

Thank you.

bye


Hey!
Do you enjoy football

I do, I think its a great sport and I am a big fan, do you like it?

Yeah I do, I love watching the playoffs.

Me too, do you have a favorite team?

I like the Patriots, what about you?

I like the Patriots too, I live in New England and I also like winning teams lol.

That is cool.

Brady said his book "athletes bible" has really helped him stay at the top of his game at age 40.

I hear he loves avocado icecream, not sure if  I like it, theres a lot of flavors better than that one

Ew!
I don't even like avocados.

I know right, icecream plus avocado doesnt seem like a very good combination, but it does the trick for Brady so thank God for avocado icecream lol

Haha yeah!

A former patriot running back Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never once fumbled the football in his career!

Thats crazy, the level of skill that guy had, not fumbling a ball and being a RB, thats a hard thing to accomplish

Definitely.

The locker room in the University of Iowa is painted pink for visiting football teams.

Thats really funny, I bet thats how you win 222-0 intimidating the other team

I guess it would work.

Can you believe top bowlers made twice as much as football players in 1960?

That is insane!

You never hear about professional bowling anymore.

Its not as popular as it used to be or maybe its because football is a lot more popular than back then

Yeah probably.

At least the technology has come a long way, the nfl uses tracking chips in the footballs and the player's shoulder pads.

I heard about that, must be pretty expensive there are 32 teams and a lot of players per rooster.

Not including all the balls they probably go through.

I can't believe an average game is only 11 minutes!

That seems like an unreal stat, a game lasts for 2 to 3 hours each quarter 15 minutes without ads,

Apparently it's calculated on live gameplay, who know?

haha.

It was great talking to you but I have to get dinner now.

Bye!


Hello, are you particularly interested in football?

Sure!

I think it's interesting that the NFL has no rule against female players.

Yeah I do too!

Especially because they seem sexist, the way cheerleaders have to leave if football players were there first.

The NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player’s moves on the field.

Maybe they could track players off the field and avoid these situations.

That's a good point!

They definitely could come up with some technological innovation, like the first down line, that was absolutely innovative.

Engineers came up with that!

Probably a better profession for women to choose.

The average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player.

I wonder why that is!

Maybe because engineers have to work longer?

After all football games only have about 11 minutes of live game play.

True, but there is little risk of concussion as an engineer.

That's true.

Maybe another reason could be the country hasn't always needed or loved football.

I think in the 60s the top bowlers made more than top football players.

Bowlers were lucky.

It was a golden age of the sport, never to return again.

Yeah I agree, plus I think football records are objectively more interesting.

Like have you ever heard of Benjarvus Green-Ellis?

I think he's the guy who never fumbled a football.

Quite a feat!

He should get a bonus or a prize for that.

Exactly!

I think he should get something.

After all ESPN got an award for creating the first down line, and I think that's similar in terms of impressiveness.

Do you know much about the Bible?

I don't know too much!

I think a lot of religious texts are similar, like the Old Testament overlaps with the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint.

Very true.

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!

But it makes sense, we've really made it such a huge part of American culture.

I think Teddy Roosevelt is one of the only presidents not to swear in using the Bible.

Same with JQ Adams.

I think they swore on the Constitution.

They felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.

Ahh that's a nice way to see it.

On the other hand Thomas Jefferson found middle ground, I think he used a razor to cut out parts of the Bible to use his own version.

He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.

He was a practical guy.

Ahh that makes sense.

Well it was nice talking to you, have a good day!


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?

I did not.
What is it about?

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


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

I love watching the NFL, how about you?

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 bet they do, do you ever watch ESPN?

I do from time to time.

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

I know the bible well, how about you?

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.


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

Yes, I do.

My favorite team is the Patriots and I love Brady.

How about you?

Nice, same here.

Did you know he wrote a book now as well?

Yeah the Athelete's Bible.

Also there is a documentary serios that he is in called Time vs Tom

Yeah I am looking forward to seeing that.

Do you know what his favorite ice cream flavor is?

Yeah it is avocado, I guess eating healthy has kept him in shape even at this age.

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

Yeah they have to meet the requirements but still pretty cool.

Yeah.

Did you know engineers make more than football players over their lifetime?

I think that makes sense since football players have a pretty short career and engineers have a longer one

Yeah exactly.

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

Yes, that was Gergia Tech versus Cumberland where they beat them 222-0

Yes what a game.
Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?

Oh yeah they won it for the superimposed yellow line, right?

They sure did.

I am thankful because it makes watching the game from home much easier

Me too.

Did you hear about NFL using tracking chips on their players now in the field?

I did actually They are measuring a bunch of stuff like rotation and velocity and all that.

Yes exactly.

I really hope they can somehow use that data to make the game a bit safer and less concussions

I hope so too.

Did you hear about that weird rule the New Orleans cheerleaders have to endure?

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

What is up with that?

I do not know why it is there still but I hope they get rid of it soon.

It was nice chatting with you.
