Hello, lets talk about football.

visiting football teams to university of Iowa's get to use a pink painted locker room

The pink of the locker room serves a symbolic purposes.

I'm not surprised at their choice.

In the 1960's bowlers made more money  then football stars

The bowlers did not have pink rooms, I imagine.

They got paid for doing what?

Throwing a ball?

Seems wrong.

its interesting, I did not know the highest scoring football game occurred in 1916 and it was 222

I would have left after the 1st quarter.

The yellow line representing the first down won ESPN an emmy

What is this line?
Why is it yellow?
Who is ESPN?

ESPN is a network, lets talk about the national football league next, they do not have a written rule against females playing.

Women can play football?

What does ESPN think of this?

I suppose it doesn't effect their yellow line.

The game is really not that long, the average game is only 11 minutes of live gameplay

11 minutes is not that long a game, even for anyone to play!

over a lifetime engineers can make more money then an NFL player

That makes sense.

Engineers probably live a lot longer than NFL players, who often die on the field.

Chips are used embedded in players shoulders, they record a players moves on the field.

Why are chips in their shoulders?
That sounds painful.
Is it necessary for the game?

its in their shoulder pads, they are also in footballs.

They track ball speed and velocity among other things.

There are footballs in their shoulder pads?

Oh, there are chips in the footballs!

Ok.

Very good.

lets talk about the Bible next, students in the us used to be required to read from the bible prior to 1963

The Bible.

Yes, it is a book of enormous popularity.

The children read the Bible in school?

I am surprised.

the etemenanki which is in modern day Iraq was most likely the biblical tower of babel


Hello there, do you watch football?

Sometimes.
Mainly the Eagles

Nice.

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

Yes I had heard that.

It's interesting but I can see why they would seek to emasculate their opponents.

It's not much of a christian thing to do though.

It sure is not.

Speaking of that, do you know why the word apple is as such?

Sure.

I read where the apple was only known as apple after the bible was translated from latin.

The word malus means both apple and evil.

Yeah that is quite interesting.

Did you know Jefferson made his own version of the Bible?

Yes.

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

Yeah, all the miracles and resurrection.

Up until 1963 the Bible was a required read in elementary education

Not surprising.

I'm glad they took that out though.

I don't think religion should be forced on kids.

Me too, it is a choice.

The Biblical tower of Babel seem to be based on a real building that exists today

Huh.

I didn't know that.

So you mean there is an actual tower of babel or is it some other building?

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

Interesting.

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

Yeah, same here.

Roosevelt and Quincy did not believe in it much either so they did not use it when they swore in

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

Yeah I agree, religion is a preference.

Going back to football, did you know there are only 1 minutes of active game play in it?

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

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

Ok that makes so much more sense.

Yeah.

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

Pretty advanced.


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

I don't actually watch alot of sports.

I do find it interesting that there are many forms of Football including soccer, american football, rugby, and gaelic football.

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

yes, I follow the NFL some.

I saw soemthing funny about the university of Iowas visiting team locker room.

They have painted it completely pink

Yes, I heard about it.

I wonder if it was some kind of mind game.

I would assume so.

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

Weird.

Isn't it amazing?

Bowlers now make pennies compared to well known football players.

I know thats so weird.

This is interesting too.

ESPN won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line that is on the football field

I read an article about it.

I cannot imagine a football game without the yellow line.

yeah that definitely helps.

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

Yes, isn't that amazing?

I do not know any other football players who have never fumbled the football.

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

I heard about it.

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

Yes I am not sure they should play together anyway.

I saw something interesting about the fact that there is only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay in a NFL game

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

No but possibly b/c they have to fit in all the ads.

I read that New Orleans cheerleaders are forbidden to eat at the same restaurant as NFL players

You are probably right.

I think they should be allowed to eat at the restaurant if they are there first and NFL players need to leave.

The rule is odd.

I know its so strange.

I saw though that they are required to actaually leave if the player comes into the restaurant even if they are already eating

I cannot imagine the situation.

The media should make this rule a big deal so that it is changed.

It's discrimination.

Now I do not like New Orleans football team.

Quite odd.

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

I guess they want to take advantage of the available technology.

I would like to talk longer but I've got to run now.

It was nice chatting with you.


Lo, we have come to the place of chatting.

How are you?

Do you know the thing that is called The Football?

Fine thank you.

Yes, I know that thing and enjoy it from time to time.

Did you know Brady has a book out entitled "The Bible for Athletes"?

I did not know that.

Has it sold more that "The Bible" bible yet?

I doubt that.

It's a book that many say has some spiritual context and one columnist, Bob Ryan described it as "cult-like".

Football is good, but Sundays are for other things.

It works out for me since I like college better.

Speaking of which, my alma mater ran up the score 222-0 on poor Cumberland in 1916.

That is a Biblical drubbing.

The Cumberland players must have done something wrong to deserve that punishment.

I bet the GT coach was blessed that day.

He meted out a terrible vengeance.

He must have had something to prove but that' over the top.

Like the pink visitor's locker room at the U. of Iowa is over the top.

I guess pink is the color of pacifist love.

It makes men weak at the knees and unable to cope on the gridiron.

Truly U of I has found the ultimate weapon.

I heard that pastel colors  are used in jails... Did you know that the NFL has no rules against women playing?

Speaking of pastels?

Yes, women would have to wear pastels to identify them on the field.

Why not?

According to some, the actual gameplay in the NFL is only 11 minutes.

That seems low...

The 11 minutes are the toughest 11 ever worked on a Sunday.

The players have ample time then to consult the Good Book for guidance.

Yep.

I would be doing some serious praying.

Did you know the Tower of Babel is a real thing located in Iraq?

Didn't we destroy that thing in the war in 2003?

I thought it was destroyed and a football stadium was built there.

Ha.

I was wondering if it was modern rubble.

Before 1963 it was common for kids to read from the Bible in class.

We've gone backwards on that.

I figure that there is only one book that everyone needs.

Most people don't even know that.

Agreed.

We now have people like Brady for spiritualism.

The Pat's do have an actual ST player that is an evangelical off the field.

His name is Matt Slater.

The Pats have won because of their strong faith, not because of Brady or his book.

The NFL has an MVP.

They should have an MFP.

I can't believe Jefferson cut out parts of the Bible that were "supernatural" (e.g., miracles).

What's up with that?

He felt the need to tamper with the Word.

He positioned himself to high.

He should have abased himself, genuflected in the presence of the Word.

I bid you a good and blessed day.

You are well.
You've been excellent!


Hey!
Are you a football fan?

Hi yes I am!
I follow the NFL

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

That is good.

I had not realize before the season lasts 17 weeks!

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

Yes, the game stops all the time!

but to me is amusing even if the actual game time is short!

I agree.

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

I do have the same question.

That happened on 1916, more than 100 years ago and nothing similar has happened again.

Two teams havent even score near that amount combined.

I wonder if rules have changed a bit since then?

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

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

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

Yes.

He is a dominant force in football.

Pretty soon hes gonna run out of fingers to put those rings on.

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

It is kind of strange to me.

He even has the TB12 method.

I ve heard he even eats Avocado ice cream.

Avocado ice cream is actually pretty good.

But in his case football has a spiritual meaning.

It is his life purpose.

Patriots fans fuel that a little bit they think of him as a Messiah.

Im gonna have to try that Avocado ice cream.

It sounds good.

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

I agree.

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

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

He has had a few come from behind losses that were rather significant.

like the 28-3 deficit to win the super bowl.

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

Me too.

I am trying to dial in my nutrition, it is the one area of my life that is a mess.

Its been good chatting but I must go.


So Tom Brady has a book, trying to limk some more money from his fans?

Maybe, but he really seems to believe in his TB12 method, it seems a little creepy for some.

I'll eat all the avocado ice cream out there if it keeps me young, but I smell gimmick.

I think book about self improvement is based around a gimmick, did you see his documentary ?

No, I rarely watch TV anymore.

Not sure I'd watch it if  I still did though.

I'm not really a football fan, or a Brady fan.

Do you like the other kind of football, like soccer or rugby ?

I'm originally from England so soccer is my thing, yes, a little rugby too.

I've tried watching football on TV but it seems to go on forever, and is mostly replays of what has happened already.

Yeah the average NFL game has 11 minutes of live gameplay, what do you think they could do to improve it ?

Less commercials.

I think it is mainly a cultural thing.

If I grew up here my opinion might be different.

They are a little old fashioned in the NFL, cheerleaders are not even allowed to be in the same restaurant with a football player.

I can see how a rule like that might come around, it just doesn't seem right.

I probably for show as much as anything.

Yeah, like the sensor they put in their equipment, I don't think it will solve the concussion issue they have.

My son is not into sport, were he I'd have serious reservations about him playing football for that reason.

I know there the fame that can go with it but an engineer is going to make more money than most players.

Yeah, and they have better working conditions, less injuries, it is a quite violent sport.

I understand that there are no rules against women playing in the NFL, difficult to see it happening.

I think it is because they don't see the need for a rule, it is not for gender equality , yet there could be a female kicker eventually.

If they are good enough then so be it.

Maybe she can then write a book and make a documentary about how we should live.

Tom Brady's documentary was on Facebook watch, I doubt many people saw, she should not make the same mistake.

The first female player would get lots of news coverage, least for the first few months.

But I don't think she will be as popular as Tom Brady around Boston, he is seen as a messiah there.

Maybe he should write his own bible.

The people that don't like him can cut the bits out they don't like with a razor.

That took a lot of patience from Thomas Jefferson, and a bible with 1 sided paper.

Too much time on his hands?
Have a good day.


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

Hello - I am good.
I am a religious person.
What about you?

I know a little.

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

Times have certainly changed.

Oh wow times have really changed quite a bit!

I figure the country has always been undergoing change.

Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible, cutting out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection.

Wow I didn't know that.

Did you know Apple only became know as an apple when the bible was translated into latin?

The reason: the word "malus" means both apple and evil.

That is an interesting coincidence.

Very interesting.

I saw that the tower of Babel was likely based on a real building in modern day Iraq.

That makes sense.I wonder what it looks like.

It would be pretty cool to see for sure.

Attitudes toward the Bible have varied among politicians.

Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams did not use a Bible at their swearing-in ceremonies.

I think they swore on the Constitution.

Yes I heard they swore on the constitution as well.

I understand their thinking.

They felt that they should be loyal to the law of the land and the people of the US.

Do you like football?

Football is a fun sport.
I don't get a chance to watch it much.
You?

Yes, I love watching football.

Did you know the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting teams is completely painted pink?

I expect there's a psychological reason behind that.

I wonder if it has much effect.

I doubt it does much.

I saw that in the 1960's, the top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

The times were different then.

Many people bowled and I guess they watched it on TV.

NFL uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads.

I believe it.

Probably helps with strategy and maybe player safety.

Anyway, I enjoyed chatting!

It was good talking to you!


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

Hi Yes I do.
How about you?

Nice me too.
Do you have a favorite player or team?

I like the cowboys.
How about you?

Nice, I like the Patriots and I really like Brady.

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

No I didnt.

I was just finding out that the highest ever scoring game in football was 222-0.

Yeah Gerogia Tech beat Cumberland pretty bad there back in 1916

Yep and former patriots running back Benjarvus green ellis has never fumbled a ball in his NFL career.

What a guy, good for him.
Did you women can play too in the NFL?

Yes I wonder why no woman has ever tried?

I wonder too but I hope to see them in the field at some point.

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

No where are they at?

In their shoulder pads and they are tracking velocity and rotation and all that stuff

Wow I wonder whats next lol

Exactly.

I bet you those are the engineers that make more money that players that put those in there

Thats a great possibility.

Yeah.

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

Yes Thomas Jefferson actually created his own version of the bible and tried to remove the supernatural parts.

Yeah using a razor.

He really did not believe in resurrection and the miracles in it

History is so fascinating to me.

Theres only been 2 presidents that have not used the bible in their swearing in.

Yeah that was Roosevelt and Quincy.


Hey are you a fan of Tom Brady?

I admire his longevity and QB skills, but have reservations about his "religion", which seems to be football.

How about you?

Same here, apparently the fans of the patriots have a creed "in bill we trust" and some consider Tom the Messiah of football.

Yes, understand that's true.

Do you think that's taking "fanhood" too far?

Way to far!

It just doesn't take all of that.

I just want to be entertained.

That's what they get paid to do and i appreciate that.

Agree.

I have to admit, that in the Super Bowl game (against the Atlanta Falcons ?)

when N.E.

came back to win, I was on the edge of my seat.

Did you see it

No i wasn't able to see that game.

He is well deserving of the attention he gets he works very hard at age forty.

One of the things he swears by is Avocado ice cream.

you ever had it?

Yuck, no!

Agree Brady works hard, but I wonder if his TB12 Method and best-selling book are basically ways to say, "Hey, I'm not just a jock."

What do you think?

Maybe i guess it's not like he needs the money his wife makes twice as much as he does.

I've heard that.

Are you by chance a fan of the any of the other "football" games, or another NFL team?

Not really don't watch as much anymore, just like to see a good game when i do.

Okay.

Good as in competitive?

Do you have a favorite team, or prefer not to take sides

Depends on who's playing.

My favorite team when i could watch was the Packers.

Espn won an Emmy award, did you know that?

Yes, ESPN won an Emmy years ago, for inventing the superimposed yellow line we see on the field in televised games.

Who knew?

The old Packers were  GREAT team...

Yeah Bret was something else.

Still they didn't have any one like Benjarvus who never fumbled the ball his entire career.

I remember Favre well.

Another QB legend.

Americans are dedicated fans.

Some say we need our devotion to sports now more than ever.

Do you agree?

Why?

Well i don't think were in danger of losing sports so i don't see why more than ever.

I can think of far more societal needs to focus on more than sports.

I think we put way to much emphasis on those things that matter less and not enough on the things that matter most.

Well said.

Some sports fans need more balance and less broo-haa!

Maybe Tom Brady will reach that conclusion some day.

When football doesn't pay anymore?

We can only hope my friend.

Based on the fact that tracking chips are about to be implemented and the fact that technology is not slowing down, who knows where the game will be in 10-15 more years.

Agreed .

One thing I miss is relatively commercial-free games.

Now, with only 11 minutes of play, it seems we're watching 120 minutes of commercials!

Do you mute them?

I know right that's ridiculous.

You know New Orleans cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in even if they were there first.

Wacky rule.

Maybe that's the future of sports.

Less logic and emphasis on the sport itself, more tracking technology, but less game passion.

Some folks are just natural sports talent; who needs to know every fact about how they do it?


Do you enjoy playing or watching any sports?

I sometimes watch sports.
What about you?

I recently started getting familiar with football

It is an interesting sports but I know little about it.

I myself only have a passing familiarity

I have heard that the NFL has no  rule against female players; women would  be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.

Probably the requirements disqualify them anyway though

True.

An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

The women might be able to handle some positions in such a short amount of acctivity.

Even in the short time frame it can be a very dangerous activity

True.

Probably be safer as cheerleaders.

I think it's wrong that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can’t eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player.

If they are already dining at a restaurant and an NFL player comes in after, the cheerleaders are required to leave.

I mean it should just be whoever came later if they want to even keep that backward rule

True.

First is first.

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

They could use those chips to know where the players are before going to a restaurant.

I guess.

Kind of makes you question what they use the data for

I guess analysis for strategy, maybe injuries.

I'm not sure.

Then I hope it is used to reduce injuries.

The high rate of forced retirement due to injuries may be why the average lifetime earnings of a engineer is higher than that of the player

True.

Career longevity.

Probably a better career choice for women anyway.

Indeed.

I mean for only a dozen or so minutes of action, there is sure a lot of dangerous accidents

A lot of career ending injuries.

Concussions.

Terrible stuff.

The pay is not high enough for me.

I would rather be an engineer if I could.

I agree unless I was like brady who is doing amazing despite being 40 and without any major injuries.

Since I am not though, an engineer is a good choice

Brady is a legend.
It's astonishing how he keeps going.
I wonder when he will retire.

Well I hope not before the next superbowl.

I want to say thanks for the pleasant chat.


Do you like football ?

I do!

I'm like Tom Brady, football has basically become my religion.

In fact, I need to follow Brady's  TB12 method or his "athlete's bible".

Do you need to get in a better physical shape ?

I also have a few pounds to lose.

I'd like to get as healthy as Brady is.

Ha!

So do you follow football as well?

I'm also a huge fan of Benjarvus Green-Ellis.

It's fascinating ti know he has yet to fumble the football in his entire pro career!

There is so much definition of football, but is like the "american" football, especially the NFL.

It is very spectacular, on 16 games in a season, so every win count.

Agreed.

I wish I could have seen Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916.

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

I can't imagine what that was like to see it!

you would have blisters in yours hands if your clapped at every touchdown, it is roughly 30 TD or a TD every 2 minutes.

I know, That's crazy isn't it?

Wonder what Georgia Tech's mindset would have been had they been in a pink lockerroom such as the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa?

Probably would have made them angry.

Ha!

What do you think about the fact that there is no rules against women playing in the NFL ?

Do you think because they are progressive or they think that a woman playing in the NFL is so ridiculous that is doe not need a rule ?

I think it's probably progressive and I'm surprised we haven't seen a woman yet - at least a female kicker.

I think what holds them back is maybe the size difference.

We may see a female playing one day.

What about you?

You are right the more respect women have they more seriously they train, I would not be surprised to se a woman playing in a few years.

Maybe they will have read The TB12 Method.

Ha!

Maybe so!

I mean, there's only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average so it wouldn't hurt to have a few female players, I wouldn't think!

Maybe there is to many advertisements, what do yo think ?

Or if the players played more than 11 minutes, they would get more injuries ?

I think it's primarily the commercials.

Crazy to think it's only 11 minutes though!

I wonder if the chips they use to track the movement of players only tracks 11 minutes worth?

Maybe it is to track the concussions too, or maybe it is just for TV special effect, like the yellow line for the first down, so good it won an Emmy.

That is true.

It was very innovative and I can't imagine a game without the yellow line now!

Did you know that engineers actually make more in a lifetime than both MLB and NFL players do?

The career of an engineer is 2 to 4 times longer than football player.

And most football players, even pro don't have a multi million contract.

It kind of make sense.

Yeah that is true!

Also, it's crazy the regular season lasts 17 weeks.

It always seems to go by so fast!

As I have said, it makes every games special and counts a lot more than when you have a 80 game season.

Agreed it truly does!

During the offseason, maybe we can follow Brady's athlete's Bible to get us by.

Speaking of Bibles, did you know Roosevelt and Adams were the only two presidents that didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies?

I figured there would have been more!

Me too, but Jefferson had his own modified Bible, so it almost counts.

That's true!

I heard he cut out the supernatural parts of it.

I also can't believe it was common for school kids to be required to read the Bible for their elementary education.

My, how times have changed!

Well it was nice chatting with you today!


Hi there!
Are you a football fan?

Yep.
Have been all my life.
How bout you.

Definitely.
Also play fantasy.
Fan of Tom Brady/

Not really Im a Steelers fan, so that wouldn't really go well together.

Lol

Hah!

Point taken.

I didn't enjoy him dismantling my Vikings this year, nor winning the super bowl.

Me either on winning the super bowl.

I think my steelers actually beat them earlier in the year.

It just wasnt our year.

Help if LeVeon came back and AB didnt suddenly go crazy in the off season huh?

So true.

I think the AB thing will hurt us more than leveon.

Our backup did pretty well and we have a really good O line

By far.

He makes Smith-Schuster a less covered target.

I see that the average liftime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average NFL player.

Short careers.

Yeah thats true, but I think it would just be awesome to get to play a game for a living.

Definitely.

It's also a lot of hard work.

I also see that the NFL uses tracking chips in players uniforms and ball.

Yeah thats a really cool thing they do.

It gives us a whole new perspective on the way they play the game.

lets us know every stat possible.

I think its great for the game.

Also helps me realize how much faster they are than me!

Did you know a game has only 11 minutes of live gameplay?

That sounds about right.

Those eleven minutes are usually suspenseful though.

Yup.

Especially the last two minutes!

I wish the super bowl had a more exciting ending but it had superior defense.

Yeah it wasnt the best super bowl ever.

Especially the fact that the Pats won.

Now they're tied with my steeelers for Superbowl wins.

Brady has to come crashing down eventually, with Belichick.

Yeah I would say that run is about over.

It was a good one though.

They dominated for a long time.

They were fun to watch before they were always expected to win

It just gets old hearing at the beginning of the season because they lost a couple game that they are done, and then they end up in the super bowl.

Im just sick of it.

nice chatting with you!
Go Vikings and Steelers!

You to have a good one.


Hi!

Have you heard of the TB12 Method before?

Hello.

I have not.

Is it another weird thing Tom Brady does, like avocado ice cream?

That's a part of it.

TB12 Method is Brady's best-selling "athlete's Bible" and lifestyle brand.

It contains his secrets for using health, nutrition and lifestyle to maximize performance and longevity.

Ah.

Yeah.

No.

I know he's on a spiritual quest, but sometimes I think athletes go too far.

That may be, but I am interested to hear what he has to say.

At age 40, winning his six superbowl, and staying at the top of the ultra-competitive NFL, he has likely learned a few things worth considering.

I'm not impressed with any athlete, and I come from LeBron James' territory.

I think the NFL treats their cheerleaders horribly, especially the Saints.

I agree with you on that.

Imagine any other profession that prevents you from eating in the same restaurant as your higher-paid employees.

Even if they were there first, if a player shows up, they have to leave.

Smacks of "get to the back of the bus baby..."

It truly does.

I wonder how they would treat a woman player?

Well, the NFL does not prohibit women from being players, but I can't imagine a woman who would really want to to that.

There are a lot who play on high school teams, so if they meet the requirements, why not?

Yeah, but the average earning potential salary of an engineer is higher

lol Bowlers in the 60's made more than football players.

THAT is hilarious.

And the NFL puts tracking chips in the players' equipment to track their every move.

What woman would want a room full of men telling them that they watched their every mis-step, and they have proof that they were out of place?

No thank you.

Tracking the location of a ball, ok. Tracking the women on the field seems like stalking...

Tracking anyone on the field seems like stalking.

It's also creepy that ESPN won an emmy for their superimposed yellow line.

What else can they get recognition for, their insightful commentary?

"If you ask me Dan, I think they are trying to score a touchdown."....

Hidden strategy revealed...

Maybe, lol.

I love it that U of IA painted their visitor locker room pink.

awesome!

How will the team have the energy to get through those 11 minutes of game play time?

High school games last longer than that.

Thankfully, they are no longer required to read bible passages in school, like they were in the 60's.

Yeah, but the children on the football team is required to read the Brady Bible...

I don't know about you, but I don't think deifying Brady is moving in the right direction either...

They do the same here, with LeBron James.

Maybe someone should send both ballers a copy of Jefferson's bible.

Nice try.

LOL  Patriot fans consider Brady somewhat of a messiah figure.

Is that true in LeBron country as well?

Here, it's hit or miss.

While we all agree that he does excellent things for our community, some are still salty over him leaving the first time, along with his attitude.

Well, nobody can deny that Brady and Belichick have performed great together and have accomplished much, but many people forget that both of these heroes were also caught cheating and were fined by the NFL.

Thank you for chatting with me, have a lovely night.

You too, and enjoy next season!


Hello, do you watch NFL?

Yes I tried to watch every nfl game.
Do you like Tom Brady?

I like him.

I guess he is a book author now as well.

Yes, he got a best selling athlete bible that he believe to help him to play top games at the age of 40.

I guess if it works for him that is great.

Did you know women can play in the NLF?

Yes, I like women, but I think this is too ambitious.

I don't think 250 or 300 lbs.

men hitting women would be safe, women's bodies aren't made for that.

I guess not but it would be interesting to see, maybe have more of a mix in the game

Yes but I can see lawsuits and low ratings, because I don't think men are going to hit women the same way they hit men.

Some men can't take those hits.

Yeah that is true.

What do you think about that cheerleader rule in New Orleans

That's something else, I don't understand the reason, I wonder do they get a refund if that shall happen?

I am not sure but having to leave because a player walks in is just strange and sexist

Yes you're right, that is sexist, I think women should do something about that and be able to keep their jobs.

Yes agreed totally there.

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

Yes I think it was 222-0 georgia Tech vs cumberland, which I never heard of  cumberland, have you?

I have not and I bet you Georgia Tech are bragging about that to this day

Yes and I pretty sure that was cumberland coach last coaching season.

I know they got teased for days.

Yeah, pretty sad day for them.

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

Yes try to read the bible a lot, my favorite chapter is Psalm.

I also learn certain verses.

what about you, do you read the bible?

No I do not but I guess it was part of the cirriculum in elementary education prior to 1963

Yes you are right, several members of my family, brothers and sisters preach, though a lot of people don't believe in women preaching.

Oh wow did not know that is the case.
Interesting fact there.


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

I love the NFL, how about you?

Yes me too.

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

I do know that, I live in the city and have actually seen it, do you know why it is pink?

I am not sure what their reason behind it is to be honest.

Do you have a clue what it might be?

Yes, the coach back in the day was a psychology major, and found pink was calming.

Crazy

Wow I did not know that.

Cool one.

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

I heard it was 222-0 back in 1916.

I would have quit if I were on the losing team!

Yeah that is a pretty bad beating.
Did you know women can play in the NFL?

I did not know that.
That is interesting.
You think men can play in the WNBA?

I sure would like to see them switch sometimes.

They seem to be using tracking chips on the players now.

What do you think about those?

I think that is awesome.

They are probably created by engineers that make lots of money.

I bet you they were.

They track velocity and rotation and such so I wonder if they can be used to make the game safer

Nice!

Did you know engineers make more money over time than NFL players do?

I guess that makes sense since their careers are longer too and they have more time to make money

For sure, but I bet NFL players are paid more per hour.

Did you know an NFL game has 11 actual minutes of gameplay?

That just seems so short but I can see how that is for sure, lots of downtime in there

For sure, between the commercials, play clock, time outs, etc.

Not much action!

Yeah exactly.

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

I love the bible, do you read it?

I am not religious but I do know some facts about it.


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

Yes I try to watch all the games I can, what about you?

Same here but cannot watch them all for 17 weeks

That's true, do you have a favorite team?

if yes, what is your favorite team?

I think Patriots as I like Brady quite a bit.

How about you?

The patriots are ok, but my team is Pittsburgh Steelers win or lose, I still like them.

Nice, good that you have a favorite.

Did you know U of Iowa painted their visitor locker room pink?

I guess they're hoping it will make the other team feel silly while they're getting ready to play.

I guess so.

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

Yes I read that 222-0, wow I know that must have been cumberland coach last season before they fired him.

I think the game took place in 1916, that is so long ago but still what a score

Yes you are right, did you know in 1960's  top bowlers made twice as much top football stars?

That is insane, things have really changed.

And now engineers make more other their lifetime

Yes, nfl players my opinion, should get paid more for such a rough and physical sport, but they are one of the lowest paid players.

Yes that is true.

No, but I do read the bible quite a bit and try to memorized certain verses, What about you?

Oh I see.

I do not read it but just know some facts about it.

Like it has sold over 5 million copies

wow that's a lot, expectually these days when lot of people used their cell phone.

That is a great point.

Jefferson created his own version of the Bible?

Yes he did, he used a razor to cut out the supernatural parts, isn't that something.

That is .

I wonder if he used that Bible to swear in.


hey did you know that the bible has sold over 5 billion copies?

Its the most influential book of all time that's crazy

Wow, billion!

That's a lot of copies!

That must mean it's translated into various different languages around the world right?

yup thats right, interesting that different religions all use the same bible to get their views, like the Jews and then the Chrisitians

Yeah and prior to 1960s, students were required to read the bible as part of their elementary education, do you think that should occur in today's schools?

no probably not, I think school and religion should be kept separate, I would like to read Jeffersons bible though

Jefferson released a bible?

The previous president, Thomas Jefferson?

yup that's him, he cut out all the supernatural parts like the resurrection, so I guess its more of just a regular book haha

Roosevelt and Adams were the only two US presidents to not use a bible at their swear in ceremonies, what do you think they used instead?

ya thats a good question, maybe the constitution?

I don't know, did you know the tower of babel was based on a real building btw?

Perhaps they used law books or something like what some Supreme Court justices did when they were being sworn in.

Which real building was it based off of?

it was the Etemenanki, its a building in Iraq and still exists, I don't know what it looks like though

I have never heard of that and I don't think I'll want to visit any time soon.

I do want to watch a live football game some time though, have you ever been to one?

ya it was a long time ago, I personally only like games on tv, much cheaper and easier to see, I'm glad espn invented the yellow first down line on tv haha

Yeah and they even won an emmy or some type of award for it, I wonder what category that invention for that award falls under.

ya I wonder too, I know there are different types of emmy's, would you ever want to be a cheerleader for football games?

My friend was one in college

Did you friend like it?

Was he/she treated the way the Saints cheerleaders are treated where they can dine in the presence of football players?

no they could all hang out with players, and ya I don't like how the saints dont let players get together with cheerleaders that seems really backwards

Any theories as to why they have a rule like that?

ya I think its so there isn't any drama with like a player cheating on their wife haha, but I think its dumb, do you think we will ever have a female nfl player?

That could be a really good theory and yes it is quite dumb.

It's possible there might be a female NFL player since it's not against the rules but maybe females are smart enough to not sacrifice their brains and health to be in such a physical sport.

yup I think so, football is a physical sport and any girl that plays would have to be very muscular, thats for sure


Hey, do you like football?

Hey!

I love football.

Tom Brady is one of my favorite players of all time.

In fact, I want to check out the TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible so I can stay at the top of my game like he does.

Ha!

What about you?

That's amazing!

I love football too and Brady is also one of my favorite players.

We both graduated from the same school too!

Oh that is so awesome to hear!

It's crazy to think Brady started his pro career as a sixth round draft pick and is now one of the greatest of all time.

Plus he's great at rebounding from adversity!

Indeed he is!
What's your favorite NFL team?

I really like the Patriots.

In fact, Benjarvus Green-Ellis was one of my favorite running backs.

He was so talented, he actually has never once fumbled the football in his entire pro career.

That is unheard of!

What about you?

That is quite impressive.

I am a fan of the Lions so we never won too many games here haha

Do you also like the Saints?

I do but I hate that cheerleaders aren't allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the football players.

That's so misogynistic and it's shocking no one has filed a lawsuit over it yet!

I actually do like the Saints.

Kinda crappy what happened to them this year in the playoffs with the referees.

And yes definitely not a great culture at all for cheerleaders.

Agreed!

I wonder if the same rule would apply if they had female football players.

After all, there's no rules forbidding females from playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.

Yeah I recently just found that out.
Would you say you're pretty religious?

You would think since there's only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay, we'd at least have a female kicker by now, right?

But I do like to read the Bible from time to time.

What about you?

Right, I can't believe it's so short considering a game is like 3 hours long when watching it.

I am not too religious but I do read the Bible from time to time

It's crazy to think over 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold!

No wonder it's considered the best selling and most influential book of all time!

Yeah I think almost everyone I know has a copy!

Did you know the Iowa Hawkeye's painted their visitor's locker rooms pink?

That must be a nightmare for opposing teams!

Wonder if that would have helped Cumberland when Georgia Tech set the highest score record when they beat them 222-0.

Ha!

Haha that is true!

It's so surprising that an average engineer will make more in his life than an NFL or MLB player

Agreed.

I even wonder if engineers made more than the top bowlers of the 1960s since they actually made more than the top football players as well!

I bet they do.

I don't think athletes do very well managing their money after all

Sadly you're right.

But isn't it crazy there's so many different variations of football, that they're actually known as "football codes"!

I totally agree!
There's just so many rules.
It was so great talking to you!

So true!

Nice chatting with you as well!

I'm gonna check out the Bible.

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy of Thomas Jefferson's version where he cut out all the supernatural parts of the Bible.

Take care!


Tom Brady is one of  the best players in NFL history, do you agree?

Sure.

He is one of the best, he embodies the Patriot Way with his prep and will to win.

I agree, he has changed football and has changed the Patriots, he has many devoted followers and fans

Do you watch the rest of the NFL?

I do even though there is 11 minutes of actual action in a 3 hour broadcast.

I do, games tend to be really long and Im not convinced by that fact, games seem to last a lot longer, gameplay and all, I wonder if its actually true

Well the NFL tracks everything.

They even have chips in shoulder pads and footballs for tracking so I am pretty sure they are accurate.

I think its great that tech is being integrated into the game, cool stats indeed they should make devices to control the brain damage injuries

You would think that an average NFL player who will make less than an average engineer over his lifetime would want to help their own health.

The NFL is violent.

It is a violent sport, I love it still, there's no rule against a female playing.

Do you like college football?

I watch quite a bit of it, though I did not know until recently the Iowa Hawkeyes paint their visitor lockerroom pink!

That is really funny, painting a locker room pink just to tease the other team, priceless, I wonder if that actually worked maybe it backfires

I don't know.

Maybe they stole it from Georgia Tech who destroyed Cumberland 222-0 many years back.

What a beating!

It was a humiliating defeat that is a sure thing, probably the worse beating in the history of football

So who is your favorite NFL team?

Mine is the Dallas Cowboys from the NFC.

Maybe someday they will return to the Super Bowl in my lifetime.

Maybe 2019 is the year of the Cowboys, my favorite team are the Patriots,

Oh well then you must be thrilled.

Pretty much spanked the Rams.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick just keep on winning Super Bowls.

And I bet they will for at least one more time, Brady is 40 now, he has a strong determination but still

I think that would be 7 out of 9 tries at the Super Bowl.

I do not think that will ever be broken or at least for a long time will not be.

I agree, I think that Brady is an exaple of what a person can do with deremination, many people think htat his commitment is sincere and not just to make more money.

Can't argue with results.

His TB12 Method seems to be working very well for him.

Him and "In Bill We Trust"!

His method seems to be rock solid and yeah the In Bill We Trust method is also another key complement,


Hi, do you watch the NFL?

NFL?
Is that the National Football League?
I know very little about it.

Yeah that one.
Apparently women can play in it as well

So women would be allowed to play if they met the league's eligibility requirements?

Yes, I hope to see them there at some point.

There are only 11 minutes of active game play

Sounds light, but I bet there are better jobs for them.

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

Yeah that is a great career.

I guess it makes sense since the football players have a pretty short career

Did you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders cannot eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player?

Seems sexist to me.

It sure is sexist.

And the worst is that they have to leave mid meal too.

Strange and rude

NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player as they move on the field.

The league could track the players off the field to help the cheerleaders avoid them.

Yeah they are using them to track velocity and rotation and such.

Hope they can use that data to make the game safer too

Safety should be a top priority.
Say, do you read the Bible?

I do not but I know some interesting facts about it?

How about you?

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 education?

That is interesting but I am glad it does not apply anymore.

I think religion should be a choice

Yes, it should be.

Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible, cutting out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection.

In a way, he made a choice.

He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.

Yeah and cannot blame the guy, it was his choice.

Did you know Roosevelt and Quincy did not swear in with a Bible?

I believe they got sworn in on the Constitution, because they felt it their duty to serve the nation.

Well it is a good thing that they have the option.

Do you know about the Tower of Babel?

The Tower of Babel was where every language known to man was created, according to the story.

Yeah and people think that it is the etemenanki in modern day Iraq.


Hi!

Are you a fan of Tom Brady by chance?

I want to check out his TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible that he uses to help him stay at the top of his game at 40 years old!

Yes I love Brady too.

I am looking forward to that book as well as the documentary series Tom vs. Time

Same here.

I can't wait to see it!

I love what Brady says in the first episode: "If you're going to compete against me, you better be willing to give up your life because I'm giving up mine!"

That is very powerful!

Wow talk about dedication.

I wonder if that applies to any potential women who may come on board with the NFL, since they are allowed to

I know, right?

And considering there's really only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average each game, you'd think we would have at least had a female kicker by now!

I know so I am not sure why we do not have one yet.

Did you hear about that record breaking game between Cumberland and Georgia Tech?

I have heard about it!

That's almost unheard of.

Do you think Cumberland would have played any better if they were forced to sit in a pink colored lockerroom like the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa?

Hmm good point there.

Or maybe they just needed someone like Benjarvus in their team.

Hasn't he played his entire pro career without fumbling the ball one time?

That is amazing and takes some serious talent and skill!

It sure does, yes he is that guy.

What do you think about the ESPN winning an Emmy?

I think it was well deserved.

The yellow line they created that represents the first down line was very innovative and I can't see myself watching a game without it now!

Yes it has made out life easier.

I wonder what they are using those stats from the tracking chips they are placing on the players now.

And the chips they're placing in the football as well!

Those engineers are brilliant.

But I still can't believe they make more money than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players!

That surprised me!

I wonder if that can be contributed to the fact that football players have shorter careers than engineers.

That is a good point.

But then again, the top bowlers made more than the top football players back in 60s.

Wonder if the bowlers back then made more than engineers as well?

Hmm good point, they likely did.

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

I know quite a bit, actually.

It has sold over 5 billion copies which is a big reason why it's considered the best selling and most influential book of all time!

That is mind blowing for sure.

And it was part of the education system until 1963 too.

That surprised me, honestly!

Did you also know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version by cutting out the supernatural parts?

I'd love to read that version one of these days!

Yeah he really did not believe in resurrection and miracles.

I wonder if that is the Bible he used to swear in

I wonder that, myself.

Speaking of swearing in, did you know the only two presidents that didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies were Adams and Roosevelt?

I found that to be interesting!

Well it was great chatting with you today!

Take care!


Hi, do you watch the NFL?

I usually watch the NFL, but the 16 week regular season games are too much for me to keep up on.

What about you?

Same here so I just watch some of the games.

Did you know U of Iowa painted their visitor locker room pink?

I wonder if even the toilets and urinals are pink.

I'm sure the opposing teams get amusement out of that

Yeah that makes sense.

Do you know how many teams are in the NFL?

32 total, right?
16 in the AFC and 16 in the NFC

Yes exactly.

In the 60s bowlers apparently made more than football players.

I think television has changed the popularity of professional sports.

I mean, ESPN came up with the superimposed first down line, and that invention won an Emmy

Yeah that is pretty cool for them.

Do you know the highest score in college football?

Was it when Georgia Tech played Cumberland back in 1916?

Yeah that was it, and the score was crazy, 222-0

Not scoring any points is bad enough, but when the other team scores 222, it would be hard to forget about losing that game

Yeah exactly.

Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?

Wasn't he a running back for the NE Patriots?

Yeah he was and he never fumbled the ball in his career

That's impressive.

I wonder how many years he played for the Patriots to have that kind of stat

Yeah I do not know that but pretty impressive.

Apparently there is no written rule agains women playing in the NFL

It'll be interesting to see if a woman really does join the NFL.

It's possible that there's never been a rule against it, which would be really cool considering the other things women have had to fight for

Yeah I would love to see them play someday.

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

I do, and so do students who went through elementary school before 1963 since it was commonly required reading

I am not sure how much I agree with that but glad it is no longer.

And Jefferson created his own version of the Bible.


Do you enjoy sports?

I enjoy the getting together with friends part of it but I could take or leave the actual sports events....except when I am watching my children play.

How about you...what's your favorite sport?

I would say football

That is the favorite sport in my household as well!

Tom Brady is quite the dedicated player both on and off the field, don't you think?

Yes, he is arguably the greatest steal in nfl history

I think a lot of people would agree with you.

I am in awe of his dedication to living his best life!

I mean he didn't even get to play at all in highschool, but wow he is amazing now

Right!

And to think that he was a sixth round draft pick!!

Do you think if he hadn't been drafted he would've done a career involving nutrition or religion?

Then we wouldn't have the famous brady of today.

Good thing he got picked

Someone with commitment like that though perhaps he would've been famous in another career area.

Have you read his book?

Do you mean his athlete's bible?

Yes, that's what I am referring to.

I've read some mixed reviews and wonder if it's worth the read...

I mean all these self help book I think are a decent read most the time, but what matters is you

I guess if you are going to take self help advice from anyone, Tom Brady would be the guy.

He is definitely leading by example

That is true.

But the question is will you act on this advice?

That is a good question.

Would someone read the book looking for self help advice or just merely to get to know Tom a little better?

I guess it would depend on the individual

I agree.

Me personally I think it would be a bit of both....you know, take what you can use and disregard the rest!

I mean that is how I look at religion.

There is no reasons to be stuck following only one religion such as following the bible.

I think people should learn a basis understanding of all religions first

Good point.

The same could also be said for his diet and life choices.

I think it would be hard for the average person to be as strict as him with those things, but one could definitely benefit from a few of the tips!

Indeed.
In any case, thanks for chatting.


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

Hello, yes I do.

DO you have a favorite team and/or player?

I do actually, I love the Patriots and my favorite player is Brady.

And you?

Nice same here.
They did a great job this season.
Did you know Brady has written a book?

Is that the Athlete's Bible?

And I hear there is a documentary in production, Tom vs. Time

Yes I am looking forward to that one for sure.

Did you know women can play in the NFL?

Yeah that is pretty cool, I guess they have to meet the requirements but still pretty awesome

Yes it is.

And engineers seem to make more than football players in the long run

I guess that makes sense because football players have shorter careers

Yes exactly.

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

Yes I think it was back in 1916 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0

Yes that one, what a game that must have been.

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

Oh was that for the superimposed yellow line?

Yes that one, It has certainly made our lives easier watching the game from home.

Oh for sure, no question there.

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

Yeah they are tracking velocity and rotation and speed and all that fun stuff.

Yes, and I hope they can use those stats somehow to make the game safer for the players

Me too.

Did you hear about that weird cheerleader rule they have in New Orleans?

About not being able to eat in the same restaurant as the players?

So sexist and wrong

Agreed, I hope they get rid of it very soon.

Do you know who Benajrvus Green-Ellis is?

I hope so too.

Yeah he is the rb who never fumbled a ball in his career.


Hi, do you like to watch the NFL?

Yea, I'm a huge fan of the NFL although I don't take it to the level of religion like Tom Brady does

He actually fulfills the whole purpose of his life with football

Yea, I guess sports has a lot of similarties to things in religion such as saints, rituals, and community gatherings

And commitment too .But I do like to follow the 17 week season, I had not realized each team only rests 1 week during the season.

I never knew that engineers on average make more than nfl players in a lifetime, I guess NFL careers are pretty short

Exactly, that is why.

An engineer has to work many more years.

Did you know about a football match were the highest score was achieved?

Yea Georgia tech scored 222 points on Cumberland in 1916, that's pretty bad

Yeah, more than 100 years ago!!

Nothing like that has happened since then!

Yea so much has changed since then, now football is on tv and espn even created a superimposed yellow line to represent the first down line

Correct and they even won an Emmy for that.

did you know about a pink locker room?

Yea the University of Iowa painted there visiting locker room pink, I guess they are trying to play mind games with their opponents

Trying to intimidate them, But I think is a pretty funny joke.

Do you like any other types of football?

I've watched Australian rules football and Rugby before although they aren't on tv much

They call it football codes.
There is also a Gaelic football

Interesting.

I mainly watch the NFL even though the games only have an average of 11 minutes of gameplay for each game

That is crazy, but I am sure you enjoy the whole thing.

The game stops all the time.

But personally , I like it like that

Yea and the nfl collects a lot of stats for the game by embedding tracking chips into shoulder pads and the football

That makes it more interesting.

You get to know details as ball seed rotation and more

Yea and maybe one day the nfl will have female players for some positions since there is no rule forbidding them

It would be cool to see.

If they meet the requierements, they could play!


Hi!
Do you like Tom Brady?

Well enough, considering they've been in the Super Bowl so many times.

Why do you ask?

He has a book out called the TB12 Method.

Wasn't sure if you were familiar with it or what it was about.

I hadn't heard that.
What's in it?

It's a book about creating a healthy lifestyle and he credits it with him staying at the top of his game.

Are you familiar with his documentary called Tom vs. Time?

Oh, the one that Gotham Chopra is working on!

Yeah, I've heard of that.

It's pretty good.

After watching it, it changed my view of him.

I believe it's on Facebook Watch.

Are you a fan of the NFL?

I thought it was weird that Deepak's son was working on a sports documentary, but if you say it's good I'll have to check it out.

I follow the Cowboys more than anything.

I like the Cowboys.

Did you know the highest scoring game ever was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0?

I did not!

I don't follow college ball too closely.

I watch it but mainly the smaller regional schools if I can get them in.

In the 1960's the top bowlers made twice as much as the top football stars of the era.

I'm sure that's not like that anymore.

With so many people watching and so much tech invested in the NFL, I wouldn't doubt it.

The payoffs have to be worth the money put in.

They even put tracking chips in the balls to analyze.

That's crazy that they are going that high tec into a sport.

Although like you said with all the people watching there is big money involved.

Maybe Tom Brady's onto something with his whole "treat football like a religion" idea.

Seems like a lot of fans already do.

Yes!

Speaking of religion did you know that the bible is the biggest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold?

I wonder how that compares to the number of NFL game tickets sold.

Probably crushes the ticket sales I would guess.

There are other Patriots that are very religious, like Matt Slater.

I'm sure the overlap between fans and church goers is not insignificant.

I didn't know that.

Former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball once during his career!

It just seems like the team dominates regardless of time or subject!

Yes!
It was a pleasure chatting with you!
Have a good day!


Good morning.
Do you like NFL football?

Yes.

I just learned Tom Brady has a book entitled "The Athlete's Bible".

Are you a Tom Brady fan?

Not really...
I do respect his ability.
He does have an interesting philosophy.

I agree with that.

I do not care of him as a player or person but you can't deny is greatness.

Yes.

There is a sort of spiritual side to the Pat's.

One of their ST players, Matthew Slater actually in an evangelist.

That is interesting.
What about the TB12 method?

I think it's Brady's personal philosophy include diet and health.

A columnist named Bob Ryan described it as "cult like" but I have zero faith in news people including those in sports.

I am aware of Bob Ryan, I watch a lot of sports shows he is reputable.

Don't know him but that's quite an accusation.

When I think of football, I don't think of pink locker rooms like those for the visiting team at U or Iowa.

I have heard of that pink locker room as well.

Seems like it would man you down a bit

lol Yeah... Did you know that pro bowlers made more money that pro football players in the 1960's.

Hard to imagine...

That is crazy, boy how the times have changed.

Yeah, one new development I like is the yellow line introduced by ESPN for the 1st down line.

They won a well-deserved Emmy for that.

I don't think anyone can watch football without the yellow line anymore, what an innovation

Yes, it makes me even lazier for the post-Thanksgiving dinner football.

Speaking of lazy, it is said that there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay in an NFL game.

That is crazy, then why does it take 3 hours?

Seems like it should move along faster.

They must be going from snap to whistle but that still seems way low.

I agree with that, it must be all the commercials

I played in HS and there is a lot of standing around waiting be people to do stuff like move the markers.

Oh well, did you hear that the Tower of Babel may be real and located in Iraq?

I agree with that.
It was based on a real building there.

Cool.
I would love to see that.
Thanks for the chat!


Do you watch much football?

No, not much, but I do find the sport fascinating.

It is such an American classic pastime, at least for spectators.

It really is.

There are so many things to learn about the game.

I have watched on and off for years but still learn new stuff.

Did you know that technically women could play on NFL teams?

Nothing forbids it?

Really?

I wonder what keeps them from playing then.

Me too!

It seems like someone would have jumped in by now!

Maybe women are just too smart.

Football seems dangerous, and I heard that the average engineer actually makes more money over their lifetime than the average NFL player.

I would imagine unless the players are getting lots of endoresements or have a super long career they aren't bringing in the amounts of money that people think they are.

Yeah, there are an awful lot of players on each team, and some don't last long.

What do you think about Tom Brady of the Patriots.

I heard he is trying to promote football as a whole lifestyle, maybe even religion, sort of thing.

I think he is just trying to scam people.

Yeah, that is about my opinion too.

I am guessing it is his plan for making money when he has to leave the sport.

probably setting himself up for some sort of supplement company or books or something.

He can't really believe all the stuff he is saying.

It is just ridiculous.

I agree.

It surprises me that so many people fall for that stuff.

And Gotham Chopra being involved?

It is all so weird!

I'm glad to see there are people that are skeptical of it.

I think so many will fall for this drivel just because he is famous.

Yes, but you have to admit, the Patriots have a good record, at least in recent years.

And they seem to thrive under pressure.

they do.

I wonder how much money the owner is spending on them to get those results.

I wonder if they are making the profits to make that worthwhile.

I'd be curious to know too.

They do have quite the history.

Did you know their former player, Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball during his whole career with the NFL.

wow.

That is quite the feat!

I wonder why we don't hear more about him?

Me too!

And I'm not a huge football follower, but I can't help wondering at how it really seems to be an American passion only for the most part.

I wonder if the U.S. would be different if its "football" was soccer or rugby or another sport that was a little less violent.

I don't know if I would classify rugby as less violent.

It is like football without padding only everyone is wearing soccer cleats.

Yeah, probably not, but at least the players don't seem to be hiding behind gigantic uniforms.

Regardless, I certainly hope more Americans don't start considering Tom Brady's lifestyle suggestions their Bible!

I really hope so too!

He is not the right kind of guy to follow.


Hi, how are you?
Are you ready for a fine chat today?

For sure.
Do you watch the NFL at all?

The NFL?
The National Football League?
Yes, I've heard of it.
Is it any good?

Well it is good and a very big deal in the US now.

Even women can play if they qualfy

Women?
Wow.
How do the women do against the men?

I am not sure but I would like to see them play together.

I mean there are only 11 minutes of active game play

11 minutes seems like a short game.
Don't they have to play longer usually?
What about the commercials and stuff?

Yeah that is what keeps us glued to the tv for that long.

In the 60s bowlers made more money than football players

The 60s bowlers were the epitome of cool.

Everyone wanted to be great like them.

Yeah I guess, things have really changed now though.

But still engineers make more than football players now

Engineers are the ones that make everything in life possible.

They should be paid more.

They should have competitions every Sunday.

Ohh that would be pretty cool, what ideas they come up with.

And they are the ones that likely made those tracking chips they put in the players now

They sure are!
The game is safe because of engineers.
The players should be grateful.
The nation should be grateful.
Have you read the Bible recently?

I have not but I know some facts about it.

How about you?

I have read the Bible and have not found the answers to the questions that I had about football.

Yeah I do not think they are there.

They might be in the version that Jefferson created

Jefferson created a bible?
How much money did he make on it?
I know he was rich.

Yeah he created a version of it and took out all the supernatural stuff because he did not believe in it

There must not have been much left!
I guess it was short book.
Why did Jefferson do this?
Was he angry at God or something?

No he just did not believe in resurrection and the miracles that are in the Bible

That is astounding!

He helped create America, and that is a miracle that deserves to be in the Bible!

That is a good point, he was one of the main guys at that time.


Hi!
Do you follow football?

Yes I do, do you follow tom brady?

I don't follow him very closely.

I know he is a dominant force in football.

He's a very dominant force.

He's also in tune with his spiritual side.

He's a really deep individual.

That's really cool.

I heard there is a documentary or something coming out about him.

Tom vs Time?

That's what I heard as well.

It's supposed to document how came from a 6th round draft pick, to one of the best there's ever been.

I'm excited to see it.

He didnt even get a chance to play when he was on JV in high school, they refused to start him as their backup.

Now look where he is, 6 rings.

Coach Belichick helped Brady and company a lot.

He really knows how to bring people together for a common goal.

That is why there is that "In Bill We Trust" motto

They mesh really well together for being so different.

Brady is larger than life to fans, but you hardly hear about Belichick.

I heard that the fans describe his fashion sense as raggamuffin

I heard it's hard to view him as being charismatic.

I can see that.

Brady on the other hand has those qualities.

That is why they are such a good pair.

It takes a special bond for someone to comeback after being down 28-3.

That is partly why there is the TB12 method.

And so many buy into it

Bob Ryan doesn't believe in it.

He said Brady isn't a spiritual figure and he thinks his new book is creepy?

I havent read his book, but I personally dont see him as a spiritual figure, just a good football player.

I think his spiritual side allows him to be more in tune with what is going on around him.

If it works for him, it works for him.

Very true.

Everyone has their own path, just because one might differ from mine doesnt make it wrong.

He is a great example of what can happen to someone that is truly committed in what they believe in.

Very true.

Its been great chatting, but I must get going.


Hey!
Do watch football?

Hi!

I do!

In fact, I've been wanting to follow the TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible that he says helps him stay at the top of his game at 40!

What about you?

I watch football.

Tell me little bit more about this method.

Do you practice any sport?

I guess TB12 Method focus in physical activities.

It's Tom Brady's best seller and it appears to really work considering  he's appeared in six super bowl in eight tries!

Ok. Good luck then!
Are you fan of any football teams?

I honestly love the NFL in general.

Even though the regular season is only 17 weeks long from September to December, which is way too short.

Ha!

What about you?

I don't have any teams I really like and support.

But I also was wondering why this is just 17 weeks long.

Any idea?

I honestly don't know!

Even though it is followed up with six teams from both conferences moving to the playoffs leading to the Super Bowl.

Starting with four division winners and two wild card teams from each conference.

Ok. Do you know that NFL has no written rules against female players?

But it looks like they have sort of eligibility requirements.

You would think we'd at least have a female kicker by now, right?

Especially when you consider there are only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average per game.

Exactly.

But why no?

With all movements in the society, I'm wondering why there isn't fight for female players...

To be honest, if they want to do it for the money, they'd be better off entering the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players!

That would seem like a wiser financial choice!

Absolutely!

Are you surprised about comparison of engineers and players?

I was sure players make a lot of money.

Same here!

That was surprising.

In the 1960s, the top bowlers even made more than the top football players, which I couldn't believe and also found to be very sad, honestly.

True.

Do you know that the highest score ever in a football game was 222-0?

Really?

That is insane?

Do you think they were angry because their lockerroom was painted pink like the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa?

Ha!

Good joke!

Honestly, I'm not sure this is respectful strategy to have painted pink room.

I honestly don't think this smart.

It sounds like a bad idea.

Ha!

But not as bad as forbidding cheerleaders from dining in the same restaurant as the football players like the Saints do.

That is plain wrong and misogynistic, in my opinion!

I also surprised why this rule is still here, because it could be not legal from a lot of points of view.

But I'm sure nobody follows it.

It's like tradition.

Hopefully that's all it is, otherwise there would be some lawsuits I'm sure.

I mentioned the athlete's bible earlier, but are you familiar with the regular bible as well?

It has sold over 5 million copies, surprisingly, which I guess that's why it's the most influential and best-selling book.

I used to read Bible when I was a child.

I honestly didn't know that until 1963 it was quite common for students to read Bible as a part of elementary education.

I didn't either, honestly!

Just as I found out recently Jefferson created his own version of the Bible by cutting out the supernatural parts.

That was interesting!

Well it was great chatting with you today!

Take care!


Good morning,

Good morning.
How are you?

Doing well, I was just reading news about Tom Brady's new athlete bible, have you heard of it?

Yes I believe i have heard about it.
Have you read it?

No, but they say Brady is like a "messiah" to patriot fans,  I think some people spend too much time with football, how about you?

Absolutely.

Football takes over Thursday night saturdays and all day sundays ughhh

Some people take it too seriously, did you know the Univesity of Iowa's locker room for the opposing team is painted pink?

LOL yes and what gets me is that no female has ever tried to be i the NFL.

Thres no rule against them being on a team.

Most women have better things to do with their time than play a game, it is lucritive though, amazing how times change, in the 1960's top bowlers made more than football players.

Yes that is amazing.

As well as the average NFL game only has 11 minutes worth of gameplay.

Seems like much longer than 11 minutes.

Do you know an engineer makes more in a lifetime than a football player, and doesn't have to worrry about getting a concussion.

LoL thats mind boggling lol

I know I would be unhappy to be a saints cheerleader, they have crazy rules.

Yes they do.
LIke the restaurant rule.
I mean seriously thats crazy

That would nbe annoying, but I guess that track everything, the even use chips in shoulder pads to track the players movement.

Yes I agree.

Do you know how many supposed sales of the bible there have been?

Its over 5 billion copies I hear

Wow, I bleive it has been published in many languages, speaking of language, do you know the Tower of Babel was based on a real building in Iraq?

No I did not.

That and every president has been sworn in on the bible except 2 of them.

Kids used to have to read the bible in school, after 1963, that only happens in private school, I wonder if our societal slide would be as great if we still exposed kids to the ideas about treating others with respect that are in the Bible?

Thats a good question.
Its been good talking to you.

You as well

Thanks good bye


Hi there!

Wondering if you like football?

Tom Brady says football has become his religion!

I do like it!

Yes...he even wrote a book about how he maintains balance in his life called The TB12 Method.

Have you heard about it?

Yes!

I love that he wants to know why we're here and what our purpose is!

Yes!

He credits it with helping him to stay at the top of his game.

He does!

I like that he recognizes sports in a polarized nation can actually bring us together.

I agree.

They do tend to bring people together.

Have you seen his Tom vs. Time documentary?

No.

Interesting football fact, did you know the NFL has no rules against women playing if they can meet the requirements?

I think I did hear about that.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a woman make it here within the next few years.

There's quite a few playing at the high school level now.

I agree.
The NFL has 32 teams.

Yes!

Did you watch the super bowl this year?

It's usually held on the first Sunday in February.

I did!

It was great.

Crazy that an engineer's average lifetime earnings are higher than an nfl'er.

Yes.

I'm guessing probably because they have a longer career.

In the 1960's top bowlers made more than the top football stars from that era.

I did not know that!

Did you know that the Saint's cheerleaders can not eat at the same place at the same time as an nfl player and even have to leave if a player comes in while they're eating?

I didn't know that.
That's a weird rule isn't it?

It is!

The NFL also uses tracking chips to track players and footballs.

Tech sure has changed the game!

Yes it is.

That seems to be getting a little too technical if you ask me.

lol

So, back to Brady's interest in the bible, did you know prior to 1963 schoolchildren often read from the bible as part of their education?

I didn't know that.

I do know the bible is the highest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold.

I am not surprised at all.

I know there were only two presidents, Roosevelt and Adams that did not use a bible at swearing in.

I didn't know that either!
It was nice chatting with you!

bye

Have a good day!


Are you interested in Tom Brady's book, The TB12 Method?

I didn't know he published a book,  I thought "The TB12 Method" was a diet book of some sort, have you read it?

I have not.

I guess it is some kind of diet book, just Mr Brady's take on it.

What helps him stay youthful into his forties.

Perhaps it has something to do with his love for avocado ice-cream, I heard that it's a big part of the TB12 method, have you had avocado ice-cream before?

I just can't picture avocado ice cream.

I guess that's the thing with most healthy food, they're not appetizing.

Maybe Tom could have his own ice cream brand.

Oh my I hear you, if I wanted ice-cream, I'd just go for the good stuff, the rich and cream stuff not the frozen avocado!

Do you think demand for avocados increased as a result of his book?

Maybe that's why they're so expensive?

Why stop at avocado, how about broccoli ice cream.

If you put an NFL logo on it it will sell, or a picture of Tom Brady with his thumbs up.

I think that's what Tom Brady will do once he's too old to play football, he'll launch his own food brand company but he should probably wing it since there's only eleven minutes of live gameplay for a multimillion dollar salary

That stat about minutes is amazing.

The game seems to go on for hours and yet it is only eleven minutes.

I wonder how much time is taken up in TV adverts.

Considering that it takes me the entire Sunday to watch those games, I imagine they make lots of money in advertisements and yet in the 1960s, bowlers made much more than football players!

I bet the bowlers are wondering what happened.

Still I heard a life time as an engineer get you more than the average football player.

Yeah!

Is bowling even broadcasted on sports channels anymore?

Do you think that's true, that engineers make that much more than football players?

I think it the average player, not the mega stars.

I think the average length of career is only three or four years.

Still, when they retire they are pretty well set.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, but I often hear about how football stars or athletes mismanage their money.

You think if the females were to play they'd make comparable salaries?

I doubt it.

I understand there is no rule they can't play.

I suppose they could be a kicker.

I've never really been into football so I can't really comment.

They could be a kicker but I'd imagine they need to meet some sort of physical requirement in order to survive a tackle by the 300 pound linebackers!

I'm a pretty big guy, I can't imagine myself standing up well to that.

I might need a Bible afterwards, Last rights and all that.

Haha, speaking of bible, prior to 1963, students were required to read the bible as part of their curriculum, do you think that should still be in effect today?

I'm actually from England and went to school there before coming here.

We did religious studies and I think there is no harm in being educated on religion.

Yeah me too, there is lots of good things to be learned from the Bible, but I would imagine teachers may find it difficult to teach if they were of a different faith or something

There does not have to be preaching, just what education about what it is.

We were taught about all religions and the facts of them.

We were never told to believe in one or the other.

That's great!

I imagine it would also lead to students like Jefferson who created his own version of the bible by using a razor to cut the supernatural parts to make a science fiction book!


Hey, how are you?

Have you heard about Tom Brady "The TB12 Method"?

Hi!

I have as a matter of fact.

It's the athlete's bible.

Ha!

I heard Brady credits it for being in such great physical shape at the age of 40!

Have you practiced any of that?

I would love to.

Honestly, I'd like to follow it during the off-season just to get me by considering the NFL' s regular season schedule is only 17 weeks long from September to December.

It flies by!

Are you NFL fan?

I honestly watch sometime, but don't consider myself as fan

I am a big fan honestly.

I love the Saints although I don't love that ridiculous misogynistic rule they still have in place that forbids cheerleaders from dining in the same restaurant as the football players.

It's like, how has no lawsuits been filed over that one yet?

It looks like old tradition and I'm not sure anyone follows it.

Also there is a question about penalty.

Ok, a lady decided to stay in a restaurant.

What will be penalty for her?

It's interesting question.

Agreed.

I can't believe in this day and age no one has complained about it yet.

Just as I can't believe no women have been signed by any teams yet considering there are no rules preventing them from playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements, ya know?

It could be next stage for #metoo.

If any lady try to be NFL player, but will be rejected.

I'm sure it will be huge scandal.

So true.

You'd  think with there being only 11 minutes of live gameplay, they could at least sign one to be a kicker, right?

I'm not surprised.
A lot of commercial.
Just a lot.
It's really annoying.

You are right about that.

But I suppose women would be better off financially by entering the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players.

Which is surprising to me!

I'm sure a lot of money go to TV, owners of teams, etc.

Just not fair for players!

Did you know that the highest score in a football game was 222-0.

Can you believe?

That is insane and humiliating.

Do you think Georgia Tech was mad because their lockerroom was pink like the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa's are?

Ha!

I don't think this is only reason hahahaha.

Poor players!

I would stay at home for year if I lost game like this.

Because everyone will makes jokes about me and this event.

Just want to change topic.

Do you read Bible?

Tell me about it.

I don't know what's worse: that it knowing the top bowlers made more than the top football players back in the 1960s.

I read it sometimes.

What about you?

I used to read a lot when I was child.

I didn't know that apple and evil was the same word in latin "malus" and just in 4th century apple become apple.

Wow!

I didn't either!

I also didn't know that Adams and Roosevelt were the only two presidents who didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies.

I figured there would have been more!

Do you know any reasons why it wasn't used for ceremonies?

I honestly don't know!

But speaking of Bibles and presidents, Jefferson actually created his own version by cutting out the supernatural parts.

Wonder if that version is called the "King Jefferson" version?

Ha!

That's good one!
It was nice to chat with you.
Have a good day!

Great chatting with you as well!

I'm off to research the Etemenanki.

They say the biblical tower of Babel was based off it.

Have a great day!


Hi, are you a football fan?

I used to be

I watch here and there but not too much.

ever since the kneeling, I quit watching

Ahh.

I totally disagree with the kneeling thing too.

I just dont have cable so I dont tend to follow too much.

patriots win again....ho hum

I know.

It is like a given at this point.

Im beginning to wonder if Brady is even human

that's great that you cut the cable.
I did also.
No regrets.

Just some internet and nextflix here.

If I care enough to watch a game, I have friends to go see it with.

And if it is total blow out, like that one 222-0 game, we can just play games and chat instead.

Yeah, not sure how the cable companies are going to stay in business many of us cutting the cord/dish

I think they are going to start offering streaming packages, or lowering prices.

Id be cool with picking a few channels that I like and paying $20.

I do get into some NCAA football.

I do like it better when my team does well though.

Yes, I think you are right about that.

That makes sense to offer a package of channels that are actually watched.

I would do that too if the price were right.

Who's your team?

Florida State.

They have struggled the last few years.

Sent some strong people to the NFL who didnt workout too well recently.

Yeah, good players usually from the SEC

Even college sports is starting to get a bit political with the playoff system and all of that.

Why cant we just play and be proud?

Why do we have to analyze everything?

Yeah, it's tough to watch ESPN anymore.

Seems very political.

Watching sports to get away from that mess

Very true.

Athletics is like my break from all of that.

ESPN won an Emmy once for the yellow line.

I dont know what category that fits in to for an Emmy, but its pretty neat.

I don't think I've seen the "yellow line" will have to check that out.

It is digitally added where the first down marker is so home viewers can see it a little better.

Ahh ok, yes I have seen that "yellow line".

I thought you meant they created a film or documentary called the "yellow line".

Ahh.

That would likely be more worthy of an Emmy than a CGI line on a field.

I think we can go now after 10 turns.
That's $2 towards you next cable bill.
Ha!

Lol!
Have a good day!


Hello there, do you watch the NFL games?

I watch sometimes, but it's hard to keep up with it all.

Do you know much about Tom Brady?

I know he is a great player and like him a lot as one.

Apparently his favorite ice cream is avocado one

Not only that, but football has literally become his religion

Yeah it seems so much so that he now has even wrote a book on the aport

There's even documentary about his rituals in preparing for the season

Yeah he is all over now.

Did you know women can also play in the NFL

I wonder what the eligibility requirements are though, since none have played so far

Yeah I wonder about that too but would be nice if they played too.

Do you know what the highest score in a game has been so far?

Wasn't it a college game between Cumberland and Georgia Tech?

Yeah it was, what a game that must have been.

I bet Georgia Tech still brags about it

It's likely in a hall of fame somewhere, though it wouldn't have been on television

Yeah I guess so.
DId you know ESPN won an Emmy once?

For the superimposed first down line?

I don't know if I would be able to keep up with the game without it!

Exactly so I think it was a well deserved award and it made our game watching easier

That and the chips used in the footballs and shoulder pads to track all the stats.

I think those involve the viewers more

Yeah I really hope they can use the stats from those chips to make the game safer too

Maybe if the 11 minutes of live gameplay becomes safer, women will join the NFL

Yes that is a good point really.

Technically they can play is they meet the requirements.

I think many of them are becoming engineers instead.

Over their lifetime, they're likely to make more money than the average player without the risk of injury

Yes that is a much better option.

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

I actually do, and not the version Thomas Jefferson created where he cut out the parts he didn't think were worth keeping

Yeah he must have really not believed about the miracles and the resurrection.


I enjoy football do you?

I watch some once in a while.
Always try to catch the play offs

Did you know that in the 1960's that top bowlers were better paid than top football players?

Can you imagine that now?

I d work a bit harder on bowling..  lol  That is crazy though.

It is.

I would have chose that route also.

Much less difficult on the body.

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

It was 222-0  Almost impossible to believe that even happened.

It is so crazy!

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

Im guessing a combo of a really good team vs. a bunch of toddlers or a really bad team.

I can't imagine.

They must have been scoring the entire time.

Did you also know that ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow line that we see on TV that indicates the first down line?

I can't imagine watching football without that.

Me neither, my mom was surprised when she went to one of my brother's live games in HS and it wasn't there.

Ha ha, that's hilarious.

It definitely helps you to know what's going on.

Were you also aware that there is a RB that never fumbled the ball in his career?

Yeah, he plays for the Patriots too.

Probably contributes to their on going success.

I'm sure it helped.

I've also heard that the NFL on average has only 11 minutes of live gameplay per game.

I knew there were a lot of commercials but that's surprising.

Well the clock runs sometimes when they are walking to the next play.

Plus all the celebrating makes the game a lot longer too.

I agree.

Did you know that the NFL has no written rules against female players?

I heard that.

If there was a female player I hope theyd treat them better than the cheerleaders.

Are you referring to the way the Saints treat their cheerleaders?

Yeah.

Its crazy that they have to leave even if a player walks in while they are eating.

I had heard that.

It's pretty disgusting.

It's one thing to say they can't be in the restaurant together but another to say that if the cheerleader was there first and eating she has to get up and leave if a player enters.

I wonder why people haven't fought that?

It just seems so wrong.

Good question.

I did hear that a cheerleader for another team tried to unionize because she was only making minimum wage and she was fired so that may be part of the reason.

They do not seem to treat their cheerleaders well.

Maybe one day that will change.
I must get going.
Its been great chatting!


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

I'm good!

I know that it is the biggest selling book of all time.

Do you know how many copies it has sold?

It's got to be more than a billion.

I figured almost every person on the planet could have one.

Yes I agree!
It's sold over 5 billion copies!

That's tremendous!

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

I didn't know that.

Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible.

Wonder why he did that?

He wanted to out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection.

He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.

Interesting!

Speaking of presidents and the bible...Teddy Roosevelt and John Quicny Adams were the only 2 U.S. presidents who didn't use the bible when they were sworn in.

I think they swore on the Constitution.

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

That's interesting!

I didn't know that.

Are you a fan of any of the 32 teams that are in the NFL?

I don't follow the NFL much.
Do you have a favorite team?

I like the Steelers.

lol  I'm more of a baseball fan.

An engineer will make more in their lifetime than the average careers of an average NFL and MLB player.

That's one good reason to become an engineer.

We need more engineers anyway.

Yes I agree.

An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

Seems short for what's supposed to be 60 minutes of game time.

So much waiting around.

I guess it creates anticipation.

The tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player's moves must show them standing still most of the time.

Yes lol  Those tracking chips seems like they are going a little too far just for a game.

I guess it helps understand the game for strategy, maybe injury prevention.

That could be.
That didn't cross my mind.

I'm bothered that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can't eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player.

I agree.

That seems like an odd rule they have.

It doesn't make any sense.

Did you know that there's no written rule against a female playing in the NFL?

do you think the female players would have to leave the restaurants as well?

Anyway, it's been fun chatting!

LOL yes it's been a pleasure!

Have a good day!

You too!


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

I do, Im not a big fan but I do follow the league, do you?

Nice.
Do you know how many teams are there?

Yeah 32 teams in total, 16 in each division AFC and NFC,

Yeah.

And the game season is 17 weeks, that seems quite a lot to me

Yeah seems like a really long time, 17 weeks, do you have a favorite team?

mine is in the AFC division or American Football Conference

Nice I do not have a favorite team I just watch the games.

DO you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?

He used to play for the Patriots right?
yeah I know who he is, why do you ask?

Yeah that guy.

He is the only guy in the nfl to have never fumbled the ball

He was really talented, I never got to see him but my dad was a total fan

Nice.

Did you hear about that rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?

No, I didnt hear about that rule, what about it?

Well it is pretty strange where they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the players

That sounds like a terrible and sexist rule, well the team must have their reasons, I wouldnt put up with it though but then again I guess cheerleaders at that level make a lot of moeny

Yeah I guess but it is so wrong.

Did you hear they are using chips now to track the players in the field?

I didnt know that, I wonder if players are ok with that, chips can gather all kinds of info and it can be a bit invasive

Well I think it is only during games so they can get velocity and rotation and such.

They must be okay with it since they are keeping them in their pads

Oh I see, so this only applies to games, a thing I dont like about the game is that a lot of the times is wasted on ads, theres only a total of 11 minutes of live play

Yeah that is true, so much downtime there.

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

What about the bible?
the collection of sacred texts!

Yeah there seem to be some interesting facts tied to it.


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

Hi there!

I know a little about the Bible and recently found out that the Tower of Babel was based on a real building in Iraq!

The Bible is full of interesting discoveries!

For example, did you know that an apple only became known as an "apple" when the Bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century?

I didn't!

Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own Bible version because he didn't like the supernatural parts!

He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.

He wanted to understand the morality of Christianity without the miracles.

That's a good explanation!

Did you know that Roosevelt and Adams are the only ones who didn't use a bible at their swearing in ceremonies?

I think they were sworn in on the Constitution.

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

That's good.

I thought maybe they didn't believe in the Bible.

Many football players kneel after games to pray.

Do you like football?

I sometimes watch football.

It's interesting that the NFL has no rule against female players.

It's very interesting, just like Iowa's pink visiting team locker room.

The pink probably is meant to have a psychological effect.

I can't imagine it matters much, or everyone would do it.

Do you think there was much psychological effect when Cumberland was defeated 222-0 by Georgia Tech in 1916?

I think probably the Cumberland guys wondered why that game was scheduled in the first place.

Pointless really.

I'm surprised Georgia Tech kept actively scoring points.

I wonder how many points Benjarvus Green-Ellis has scored since he never fumbled in his career.

The guy is a legend.

He should get a special bonus for that feat.

Definitely!

I wonder how much he really played though because the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay!

True.

The action is sparse, but pretty violent.

I guess fans love that aspect of the game.

Yes we do!

I also love the yellow line on tv...did you know ESPN won an Emmy for that?

I did not know that.
I guess it must have been a nice line.
Anyway, thanks for the chat!
Have a good day!

You too!

Bye!

Bye!
