Good Afternoon.
Are you a football fan?

I am yes, what about you?

I am not really a fan.

Although I have an opinion on the amount of money they get paid and I think 45 million is way too much.

I agree, 45 million is a lot of money, there is a coach that is a rocket scientist.

He probably makes more money as a coach.

It's hard to believe that each game is actually only eleven minutes of live play.

I know right, only 11 minutes, last Superbowl was more than 3 hours long, maybe 4 all of that for only 11 minutes

All those advertisements make a lot of money for the NFL and the tickets are outrageous.

I wonder if a woman will ever try to be eligible to play?

Theres no written rule against woman playing so yeah I think they could, its a physical sport though,

I don't think women have the stamina, but you never know.

For that kind of money someone should try.

That would be interesting to watch, I agree, the first playoff game was played in 1932 seems like a long time since then

I wasn't even born.

I bet the tickets were cheap, though.

There is a locker room painted pink at U of Iowa.

I wonder why?

Maybe they thought they were getting a female player.

Me neither and yeah not like today, stadiums are really expensive to build, and I guess they painted them pink to intimidate the other team

That sounds like a good reason.

I bet the other team were really mad.

I wonder whose fantasy that was-a pink locker room.

Maybe the idea of the coach, wonder if it works, do you follow college football?

No, I get confused with all of the different teams.

lol I did go to see a few Boston University games a long time ago and they were fun.

It can be confusing, interesting fact but 14 of 25 of the largests stadiums are actully college football stadiums

That's a lot of stadiums.

I don't think baseball has that many large stadiums.

I actually like baseball better.

It's not so brutal.

But they take a long time to play a game too.

I don't think they get paid as much, though.

That is a lot I agree, and mostly football, I think its a more popular game, there is also a high school stadium that cost $60 millions to be made

That's a little ridiculous.

It must be in a big city.

I think people should understand that it is only entertainment.

I see some grown men talking about a player on a team and they are acting like teenagers at a concert.

It must be a big city I agree, seems like a lot of money for a high school stadium, the flags are also really heavy and expensive

Flags are always expensive.

Most of them are made out of silk.

I suppose the uniforms cost a fortune too.

My son's high school uniform was outrageous.

I don't know how they expect parents to pay for them.

I know right, they are expensive, well flags are about $50,000 each!


Hello there, how are you doing today?
Are you a big fantasy football fan?

I have played fantasy football.
Do you have some tips?

I play too, but unfortunately no, I just started a year ago but I did a lot better this season than last year.

Me too.

I went with Julio Jones, who failed to produce points in line with his draft position in 2017

Yeah he didn't do as well as projected.

I had some success with some of the Kansas City players since they had such a good season.

Marcus Mariota, the QB of the Titans slumped to just 13 TD passes in 2017, but did better for me in 2018.

Yeah I had him as a backup quarterback this season on my team.

Speaking of fantasy, did you know there is a fantasy draft for the national spelling bee?

That is pretty nuts.
There is also a fantasy congress draft!

What!?

That is just as crazy if not crazier.

Back to football, did you know the average game only has 11 minutes of actual gameplay?

I had heard that.

Do you think the National Football League needs to expand beyond 32 teams?

No I didn't know that either.

I hope there is a female player sometime soon, I guess that could technically happen.

Yes, The nfl has no written rule against female players

Yeah, but you never know, there could be something else a girl might be able to do.

That is interesting to think about though.

Perhaps, but maybe women know better, since an engineer earns more lifetime than a professional athelete!

Wow!

But I guess when you think about it, they put in more years while an NFL career isn't very long.

True, and engineers and New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can eat in the same restaurant, something players cannot do.

That is a strange but true NFL facts.

I guess bowlers in the 60's made more money than the top NFL players as well.

Things sure have changed.

The chips embedded in shoulder pads these days are probably worth more than those player salaries!

Yeah I bet those are worth a pretty penny.

Crazy how the times have changed not only for football but all sports and money.

Broadcasting too.

Espn won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line.

Yeah I heard that, it does help a ton for the fans watching at home.

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


Hi!
Have you ever played fantasy football?

I have!
It can be addicting.
lol

My brother got seriously into it, I myself havent played much.

It is fun.

It makes watching football take on a whole different level.

There is fantasy for just about everything, including congress and the spelling bee

Wow.

I didn't know that.

I wonder how the spelling bee works?

lol  How does the fantasy congress work?

With fantasy congress they get points based on bills passed.

I would think people would have to be super bored to play fantasy congress and the spelling bee.

lol  Do you like football then?

Probably, it is probably the members of congress who dont do their jobs being bored in it.

lol  You nailed that on the head!

Did you know that the University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room completely pink?

Must have did that to play mental games with the visitors.

lol

Sounds like it.

Nothing like a shocking color on the walls to throw off your game.

lol Right?

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

Times have sure changed since then.

They sure have, It would likely take half of the top bowlers to equal one football star.

lol yes.

Do you know what the highest scoring football game of all time is?

Yeah, its almost unbelievable.

Holy smokes!

Someone racked up a lot of fantasy points that day.

lol

Unless you had a player on Cumberland's team, then that blew your whole season.

lol

hahahaaha   Out of the 32 NFL teams do you have a favorite?

Mine is the Steelers.

Unfortunately, the Dolphins...  Im never going to see them in a super bowl...

Nice!

Have you been a Dolphins fan for a long time?

Do you remember OJ McDuffie?

I havent followed them closely.

But Ive watched here and there since Marino played.

Nice!
Loved Marino.
It was nice chatting sports with you.
Have a good one!

Same here.
You too!


hi, do you watch football?

I watch it from time to time.
I also watched the Super Bowl.
I love the Patriots what about you?

Nice, good thing they won yet again.
I watch it but not a fan

Do you like high school football?

Apparently Snoop Dogg wrote a fight song for his sons High School football team

wow, good for him they must have been so excited.

the university of iowa locker room for visitors is painted pink

That is crazy I would probably be mad if I were on the opposite team.

Did you know that a high school football stadium in Texas cost about 60 million dollars to create

I find that to be too much.
DId you know espn won an emmy?

Yes they did.

I think it was for the yellow line that appears on TV when you watch football games.

Is that true?

yeah it is and I really wonder if that is award worthy

Yeah I don't know.

It definitely helps the game but winning an Emmy for that.

I just don't know about that haha.

Can you guess how much those huge American flags at the football stadiums weigh?

hmmm never though about it so no, I do not think I know how heavy they are

Haha well they are about 1,000 pounds in $50,000

wow, that is crazy.

do you know what the highest score in football history is?

I don't know what was it?

I bet it was a massive difference though

yeah it was, 222-0

That's a crazy score.

Did you know that the NFL is 32 different teams.

I always wondered the difference between NFC and the AFC

Yeah I am not too great with acronyms either.

do youknow benjarvus green-ellis?

I have heard of him yes.
Doesn't he play for the Patriots?

Yes and he is the only player to have never fumbled the ball in his career

Oh wow that's cool.

Did you know that Matt Patricia is a rocket scientist.

He's a coach in the NFL

what a career jump.

bet he uses some physics rules to make the game better

Oh yeah he's probably a genius.

By the way do you like fantasy novels at all?

Do you like the Lord of the Rings


hey hows it going, can you guyss who the top 3 most wealthy presidents are?

Hi!

If I had to take a guess, I'd say Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Kennedy.

Am I close?

well it would be Kennedy, washington and jefferson actually!

so kind of close, they must have adjusted for inflation

I was semi close!
What made them as wealthy as they did?

well I would imagine it was their vast property and I know washington and jefferson owned slaves, so that probably didn't hurt I suppose

I wonder if they lost their monetary value of slaves when they freed the slaves.

That's kind of crazy to think about that people were like possessions that could be transacted!

Now, it's just cars, homes, etc.

Did you know it is illegal to warm up your car in Ohio?

no I didn't know that, I live in michigan and I can tell you its super cold, I wish I had a way to warm my car but I know here that is not illegal, thankfully!

Oh that's super close to Ohio, I made a trip with a friend once from Ohio to Michigan.

Yeah, a remote car starter would be useful especially when you guys were affected by the polar vortex!

It could be possible because Audi adjusted their car horn sound to accomodate the Indian market and its heavy usage.

oh wow that is interesting, we were talking about presidents did you know the president of indonesia released 3 pop albums

What?

That's crazy!

Maybe that's what students need in order to learn about history.

haha good question, I think trump should make a pop album with kanye since they seem to be friends, that woudl be crazy!

Lol!

Seeing that Kanye seems pretty wild in his actions, you never know.

At least he and Trump would get away with it by calling it "art"

haha yes maybe they could call the album "the art of my art" insteda of the art of the deal haha

Lol and you should be the producer or marketing director!

I'm not sure whether or not I would change the radio station if I heard it over the radio though but Bing Crosby recordings filled more than half of the radio time in 1948.

wow that is crazy, he was super successful at that time, have you heard of zimbabwe?

I guess they call their president President Banana

Lol!

I've heard of that country but didn't know that that's what they called their president.

haha Vote Yellow, Vote Banana!

I guess before 1805 the runner up in the presidential election became the VP, isn't that wild imagine president trump and vp hillary!

Seriously!

Do you know whether or not the people of Zimbabwe vote for their president via the popular vote or they have a electoral college?

5 presidents in the US have actually been elected even though they lost the popular vote!

ya that's a good question I don't know, but what is crazy is that the white house is smaller than the white house's guest house!

No way!

Really?

Who stays in the guest house?

Would family members or close relatives stay there?

In Guatemala, close relatives of former presidents can't legally run for president.

I like that idea personally!

maybe thats where Kanye will stay when he and Trump make their album together!


Do you own a car?

I don't own a car, but I lease a Ford Focus.

I recently got the lease.

What about you?

Nice I am leasing a Cadillac, do you know what they are named after?

Yeah, isn't the brand named for the French Explorer who founded Detroit or something?

Yep, it was Antoine de la mothe Cadillac, I am glad they stuck with Cadillac lol

Much easier to say.

I feel like easy-to-pronounce brands do much better typically because people can easily recognize and recommend them.

Do you follow the news at all?

I follow the president here and there, are you a fan of him?

I'm personally not a fan of him, though I'm always open to hear people's reasons for supporting him.

What about you?

Me too, I like hearing both sides.

I am an independent and like both stories to make my opinion.

I think he is up there as the top 3 for presidents now for wealth

Yeah, I think he is.

I think it's terrible though that he's launched such a venomous crusade against the media, I think it's starting to get people killed!

Did you hear about the Capital Gazette newsroom having a mass shooting?

I have not heard that, when was this?

I think it was late June 2018.

It's terrible, some gunman just barged in and killed five people firing multiple rounds and reloading.

All these journalists were saying that someone of them got stressed about danger abroad when covering foreign stories, but none of them ever expected to be shot on home territory!

Wow, that is quite sad.

I think Trump needs to do something to better that image.

Yeah I agree.

It's so devastating.

I personally am a proponent for greater gun control, I saw this article suggesting that the reason we have so many mass murders might be because of the insane number of guns people have in the US.

Either way, I think any sane person can agree that we shouldn't be killing journalists!

Yea it is a sad world we live in, we need that mental health part too, but sadly it will still happen with this talk.

Do you listen to much radio?

I don't really ever listen to the radio, unless you count Spotify (which I doubt is radio haha).

But there's some cool stuff on radios now.

There's a website that has thousands of old radio dramas that you can listen to for free!

I would love to hear that in my car.

Sometimes a good drama on the way to work may motivate me to work better for the day.

Did you hear about being able to hear jupiters storms on am radio?

I did!

And there's some way to hear solar activity in the form of sounds, too!

I think radio is so cool.

It's actually possible to make simple radios from pencils and razorblades--they're called foxhole radios!

Foxhole radios are amazing, I wonder how they ever thought of doing that.

I am going to check that out.

It was so nice chatting with you!

Yeah I kind of want to try it out, but I did not take any sort of electrical engineering course in college.

There's also a program in Finland where it's conducted in classical Latin--crazy!

wow, I will have to check them out too!
Have a great weekend, take care!


Hi!
Do you listen to the radio?

I do, I actually like to listen to radio dramas, theres a very good site with thousands of free episodes

I'm not familiar with what that site is, the only radio dramas I know that are free are podcasts, are those what you call radio dramas?

Yeah, that would be it, drama podcasts but in a radio show format, there is also a radio station that broadcasts news in latin!!

interesting or boring?

Oh I see, that would definitely be boring to me since I do not understand latin, but I heard on the radio news that cars in South Africa can equip their cars with flame throwers to prevent from stealing their cars, does that mean they come with a "Launch" button?

Thats lunatic!!

can you imagine cars in America with flame throwers?

we would be in deep trouble for sure, I wonder why they allow that over there

They allow it to people from stealing each other's cars, that definitely would not fly in the US if cars would equipped with that but what does work are drive-thru's that was made popular by McDonald's to accommodate soldiers in uniforms, do you use the drive-thru's?

I do use them I think they are a great invention and I guess we owe soldiers a lot, I couldnt imagine my life without a drive-thru service, they are just life saves

They do more than just save lives, I get speedy service especially at the Chick Fil A, I wonder where that name came from since the Car brand Cadillac was named after a French Explorer with the same last name that also happened to found Detroit

I see, so thats were the Cadilac name comes from, you know the first car was a Benz

The first car was Benz?

You mean the first car that was ever made, manufactured, equipped with flame-throwers, care to elaborate?

The first car ever to be made, the year was 1986 many people think it was a Ford but no,

Oh ok I see, I also thought the first car was a Ford but maybe its just the manufacturing process that they perfected.

Crazy to see what a long way we've come to now even having professional video game sports car competitions like when Jann Mardenborogh beat 90K people in the game Gran Turismo, I don't play, do you?

I used to play it as a kid, if i knew I could have become a pro driver just from playing it I would have practiced a lot more lol

That would be a great accomplishment just like the president of Indonesia who released 3 pop albums while in office!

3 pop albums while in office!!

I guess he had a lot of free time, I would be worried as a citizen of Indonesia

Why would you be worried?

I'd be worried because that seems a bit unprofessional and also wonder whether my tax dollars are being siphoned for personal use.

I would be worried because an album takes a lot of time so instead of doing his job his recording songs probably with the tax dollars of citizens, they are expensive as well.

Yeah exactly, I wonder if received a nickname for those pop endeavors like the president of Zimbabwe is called President Banana.

Thats funny, how can you be called Banana!!!

you know that before 1905 the runner up of an election in the US would become the vice president

I wonder when they changed the rules, that would be interesting to see happen since the runner up is from the opposite party.


Cars have definitely changed our way of life.

I know right!

super convenient,  The drive thru was invented by McDonalds and that is amazing,  I mean yeah it has made america lazy but its amazing!

Yes it is.

I can't imagine not having them.

The trunk of your car is called that because old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back.

lol Yeah,  but those are so heavy,  I can;t believe they had to lug that thing to the back of their car everytime they were spending the night somewhere.

ugh

Me either.

I'm sure it was super inconvenient.

I also find it interesting that Jann mardenborough became a professional race car driver by beating 90,000 people in the video game gran turismo.

I don't know how the video game translates to actual race car driving.

Yeah I know right.

That just seems like you are a professional gamer lol That game doesn't even have pedals.

Oh well,  thats good for him if he actually was a good driver!

Yes I don't understand that at all.

Here's a terrifying car fact, in South Africa it is legal to equip your car with flame-throwers to prevent carjacking.

Yeah,  I agree with that law lol Wow,  car theft must be really serious there!

Thats extreme!

Although,  maybe they should have flame throwers in places that snow!

Clearing out the driveway could be so much easier!

and warmer!

That's what I thought.

It must really be s named after an issue.

I could use it right now to clear out our area ha ha.

Another fact that I just learned is that Cadillac was a French explorer antoine de la mothe cadillac who founded detroit.

That is interesting.
Detroit doesn't sound French at all lol

No not at all.
Do you enjoy the radio?

Absolutely!

I heard they have a free radio station that plays radio dramas!

Sound like these dramas were probably before audible lol

I know those were extremely popular at one time but I don't know if they would hold up now or not.

I believe there is a website for that as well.

Nice!

That's good though,  options!

I mean what if you forgot to download your book to your device and you have a long road trip with no signal, now you know there are classic dramas on the radio for free!

Road trip saved!

Yes they would certainly help to pass the time.

Did you know that according to Canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be Canadian?

Omg,  like 40% of the songs on the radio are Justin Bieber?

That's not cool.

Those poor Canadians.

Ha ha.

I sure hope not.

That would be very unfortunate for them.

i read somewhere that Justin Biebers " baby" song is voted the worse video on Youtube lol

I have heard that also.

I can see why.

Another radio fact for you.

Soldiers in wwii made simple radios using a razorblade and pencil as the diode, dubbing them foxhole radios.

I didn't even know that was possible.

Me either,  I honestly do not know how radio and tv works.

Like I dont know how pictures show up on the tv through wire or code lol it is beyond me.

But I wonder if the soldiers radios picked up Jupiter storms,  since they are so strong.

That is a very good question.


How do you feel about the shooting in Annapolis?

I think its a shame I hate to see things like this.

I agree I don't understand why people always kill other people when they are unhappy.

Its seems to be a trend in America he was armed with shotgun and smoke grenades seems premeditated.

The smoke grenades is a the key that it was.

I just don't understand why.

Me either maybe Capital Gazette published a story about him.

As a mother to a teen in high school, gun violence is always on my mind.

Yes its getting worse I think we should all be cautious there is no way to tell where it will happen next.

That is very true.

I wish that our government would implement some type of gun control or background checks.

I believe firearms are big business in America the governments do not want to stop the money train.

I feel the exact same way.

It is terrible that money is more important than American lives.

Yes mental health needs to be addessed also

That too.

I always tell my partner that mental health is such a big issue here and it is mainly ignored.

If more money were put into mental health I think we would have less gun violence and homelessness.

I know right but not in America!

No not here where money is the answer to eveything.

I think if we dont help one another this country is going to see some bad times.

I agree.

I just wish that our politicians would see it that way.

They do but turned a blind eye to it.

They do.

yes the government has never been on the citizens side of things.

Unfortunately, you are right.
I wish that things could change.
It has to change.

Maybe one day if we all get on the same page and stop fighting eachother

We can hope.

Time will tell

It will.

What you think the President should do about this?

I think he should try to regulate how much Washington is paid by gun lobbyists and he should try to implement mental health screenings for gun purchases.

That would be great and help keep a lot of us safe

I am sure there is more, but I think that would be a good start.


Hi how are you today?

Hi.
I am good.
How are you?

I'm good thanks.

Did you know that Radio is the technology of using radio waves to carry information, such as sound, by systematically modulating properties of electromagnetic energy waves transmitted through space

I did not know that at all.

I know radio waves must be strong though because Jupiter's radio storms can be picked up on earth using an am radio.

Yes absolutely and  According to canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be canadian.

Well that is a law that actually makes sense!

You know with the strength of radio waves it is surprising to me to know that a radio can be made using a razorblade and a pencil.

Wow yes that is amazing.

Did you also know There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

No I didn't but I would like to do that!

Some old radio dramas were quite good!

Yes I agree.

I really like history and listening to things from that time.

So do I.

Speaking of history, did you know that the top three richest presidents were washington, jefferson, and kennedy?

No I did not.

I think its crazy that The u.s. president's guest house is larger than the white house

I do too.

Do you think maybe they started to build the guest house as the president's house and for some reason didn't like it and then built the actual one?

LOL Its a good possibility I guess .LOL

You never know.

I mean things were different back then.

The vice president was the runner up in the election for example.

Until 1805 in the us, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the vice president.

That's right.

Did you know that presidents have different functions depending on the type of government?

Yes I remember learning that I think.
Its been good talking to you.

It's been good talking to you as well.

Have a good day

You too.

At least have a better day than the first president of Zimbabwe who was called president banana!

LOL yes thank you


I do not know how much you are interested in astronomy, but did you know Jupiter has radio storms that can be heard on AM radio?

All radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played by canadian.

Radio is the technology of using radio waves to carry information.

I wonder if that is unique to Canada?

I heard that in Finland, they have a radio news program entirely in Latin.

There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas free.

Today a lot of radio is digital, but did you know that WW2 soldiers would make simple analog radios using a razorblade and pencil as a diode?

Its is the only sources to hear news in olden days.

Now days lot of new radio station make more interesting.

I wonder if President Trumps SOTU address will be carried on radio?

President is a title given to leaders of republican states.

president vary according to the form of government.

I know Trump is rich, but do you think he is the richest of all U.S. presidents of the past?

The U.S president guest house is larger than the white house.

I did not know that.

I know that today, the presidential candidate selects the VP running mate.

I recently learned that until 1805 the VP was the runner-up in the election.

Do you think that is fairer?

The first president of zimbabwe was called president banana.

That is an interesting nickname.

Did you know that the Indonesian President released 3 pop albums while in office?

That makes Trump's professional endeavors seem mundane.

Car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportaion.

Cars came into global use in 20th century.

What do you think of the new Cadillac presidential limo nicknamed the "Beast"?

Germans are good in car manufacturing.
Which is your favorite car ?

I am a Ford man.

I have 1998 F-350 Powerstoke pickup on the farm that just will not quit!

Benz is best I think it makes airplanes that are more safe and comfortable.

MB is a great brand.

Did you know that MB was considered the first real "automobile" in when patented by Karl Benz in 1886?

Yes, I know it.

Firstly designed for racer and than for people use only.

Mainly people are using this brand.

Did you know the McD added drive-thrus in '75 for soldiers who could not get out and dine while in uniform?

I guess that is the start of the dashboard becoming the 2nd diner table.

Cars used for mainly military purpose and make soldiers for travelling.

It make more easy to move in olden days.

Did you know that at one time the car "trunk" literally a wooden trunk strapped to the back?

Now TESLA cars have both a "trunk" and a "frunk" (front trunk) where the engine use to go.

The car brand cadillac was named after french explorer atoine de la mothe cadillac who founded detroit.

That is an interesting bit of trivia.

Did you know that Chevrolet is named after a race car driver?

yes, All best brand no need advertisement.

Thinking of race car drivers, did you know that Jann Mardenborough got into the drivers seat by beating 90,000 gamers at Gran Turismo?

Thanks for chatting  with me.
Have a great day.

You too, good bye.


Do you drive often?

I drive a lot.
Commute is my life.
Do you drive a lot?

I used to before I moved.

It is amazing how much of our economy and development is centered around cars

Where did you usually commute from and to?

Technology and innovations fly by year after year.

I simply drove to the big city for about an hour and a half.

Did you ever use the car radio?

That sounds like my commute.

I commute about that long one way for school and back home.

Doesn't every car have a radio?

Yes but the real question is do you use it?

I never have, but I have recently been reading up on radios which is why I ask

I do use it because it is in every car.
Do you use it?

I actually use my phone for music since that its more consistent.

I am interested in how radios world and how it is being used in deep space exploration rather than daily use

Now, I can give you an answer.
I use my phone most of the time.
I have bluetooth.
Isn't there radios in Jupiter?

Well Jupiter have radio storms so strong we can detect them here on earth with radios

Is it in the am of fm radio?

That I am not sure, but I am sure the radios are more sophisticated than the foxhole radios of wwii.

Maybe, they are now called walkie talkies.

Can walkie talkies intercept noise?

I thought it usually was connected to pairs

Well, walkie talkies should.

How are you going to contact each other?

Maybe the soldiers were grouped in pairs.

It is all conspiracy.

Lol I don't know about radios.

All I know are that the foxhole radios in wwii were made of a razorblade and pencil.

I have no clue how it works

I do not know about radios either.

That is an interesting way to make radios.

Ya something we know how to use them yet sometimes we have no clue how they work.

In any case, I enjoyed our chat

I enjoyed chatting with you as well.

Have a nice day.


Do you like sports?

I watch football every now and then but I don't really care for basketball.

yeah, I dont watch basketball at all.

I used to watch football before all of the kneeling and protesting.

Now my Sundays are mine again.

So do you agree or disagree with the kneeling?

The anthem and pledge are not a requirement by law, plus it had nothing to do with the united states itself and was more in protest to police violence.

I don't agree with the protesting.

Players should protest or be active on their own time.

I can agree with that.

i think he just wanted the most publicity he could, and I hate how it is so over blown.

The NFL has given in to the PC culture and thought police in the US.

I feel like everything is going that way these days, everyone is so offended by every little thing now.

Also I think we should all protest the NFL after that last Superbowl, it was so awful, lowest scoring Superbowl in history.

I was a huge fan.

I didnt even watch the superbowl this year.

Another patriots win....yawn....I mean yay

Yeah that is probably for the best, there was only one score, it was extremely boring, So what is your favorite tv show to watch right now.

I don't watch a lot of tv either, we can run through some of this Tv trivia though.

There are over 750 episodes of pokemon.

That's about 50 a year for 16 years.

Yeah my nephews watch Pokemon on Netflix, I found it too silly though.

I did not know the UK did their own version of thats 70s show that was canceled after 10 episodes though.

yeah, that show was ok, kinda funny from what I remember.

Hard to believe only 1 episode of the simpsons without bart, mentioned or appearing.

Yeah I still watch it on Netflix every now and then if I am bored, I have been re watching game of thrones as of late though.

ahh yeah, I did binge through the game of thrones series.

Do you know when the series will be released?

Yep, I love it, the next season starts April 14th.I really wish it wasn't the last season but GRRM just takes too long to finish the books.

perfect!
Looking forward to it returning.

Yeah it will be interesting to see how john and Daenerys deal with who gets the throne, since john is the actual heir.

yeah, should be good.
will be interesting to see.

Yep, will it was nice talking to you, have a good day.

you too!

Good conversation always makes these hits better.


Do you enjoy the NFL?

No I am not a sports fan but there are some interesting things I learned about recently.

Like, did you know that the average NFL live gameplay is only 11 minutes per game?

I'm not surprised.

There are an extreme amount of commercials, reviews, and penalties.

I did not know that there are no written rules against female players in the NFL.

But they have to meet the eligibility requirements and as large as those men are I doubt that happens.

I did not know that there were no rules against women, but like you said it would be unlikely that any woman could meet the requirements.

The players have tracking chips in their shoulder pads and the ball as well.

I guess that has helped with various informations.

I have to wonder why they would need to track them so closely.

There are cameras everywhere and they use the cameras and the refs to make calls so why the need to track them so precisely?

I would have no idea.

I wonder why air jordans were banned when they were first introduced.

I do not know.

My guess is that they considered it product placement and didn't want to allow him the advertisement during games.

Jordan wore them anyway though and Nike paid his fines.

Your are probably correct.

Wow, I guess the fine was nothing for them to cover.

Do you know who Allen Iverson is or that he had a contract with Reebock that would pay him $800,000 a year until he was 55?

I don't but that's a huge contract.

He's set for life.

I did know that Reggie Miller has a sister who was better than him at basketball in high school.

She scored more points them him and broke eight national records.

Their ability must be at least partially genetic.

I did not know the NBA includes 1 team that is from Canada, that is interesting.

I didn't either.

I also did not know that basketball players are the highest paid athletes based on average annual salary per player.

I would have thought that football players made more.

I would have thought the same as you.

I wonder what the Granny Style technique is.

Physicists say it is the best technique for scoring points but that no one does it because it looks stupid.

That's when you squat and throw the ball from between your legs underhanded with both hands.

I would think it would be harder to aim that way not easier.

Oh, thank you.

I can not imagine how that would be a good way to score points.

I did not know that Paul Allen owned teams.

I wonder what became of them after he died?

No problem.

That question I do not know the answer to.

A player named Tim Duncan delayed his entrance in the NBA to complete college.

I'm glad he saw that education was important but that was risky because they may not want you four years later when you finish.

Yes it was risky but it is nice to learn that some of the players actually do prioritize their education.

I guess it is rare.

Did you know tha the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can not eat in the same restaurant as the players and even if they are there first they have to leave if a player somes in?

That's horrible.

I don't think they treat their cheerleaders well and I don't like that aspect.

I recently discovered that most make around minimum wage.

That is terrible and we know that they can all easily afford to pay them a lot more.

So the regular season ends in late Dec.

So I guess the big game is coming up soon.

Will you watch?

I'm sure I will but I'm not excited about it.

I'm so sick of seeing the Patriots.

It's boring to see them at this point.

I'd rather see other teams.

Six teams from each conference make the playoffs and we end up with the Patriots again/

Oh yes I heard that.

I also heard about some call in a game that a ref made.

Some people were quite upset about it.

I agree a different team makes it more fun.

There were terrible calls in both games but I would imagine you are talking about them not calling pass interference during the Saints game.

It was a very bad call or lack of I suppose.


I knew of Paul Allen and his relationship with Bill Gates in the founding of Microsoft.

But I did not know he was an owner with the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazer franchises.

Did you?

I actually did not know that!

I was very sad to learn of his passing.

I actually did not know he was battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

It was also sad knowing Paul didn't have a wife or kids either.

He did not and the nearest heir is his sister.

From what I have been reading, she is not into sports like Paul was.

So she might want to sell rather than try to run the franchises.

That's probably her best shot anyway.

Better to sell it to someone who loves sports.

So are you a fan of the NBA?

I am and hope to one day visit the the head offices in New York!

I bet it is a fascinating to see!

I followed the Bulls when I lived in Chicago for about 10 years and Michael Jordon was king.

Since moving back to Louisiana, I have not really followed it that much.

Speaking of MJ, did you know that the NBA banned him from wearing Nike Air Jordan shoes.

He did anyway and Nike covered the fines.

That was a good PR move for Nike.

Agreed.

A very wise decision in my opinion!

They make so much money off sponsorships, its insane!

Like Allen Iverson, he signed a lifetime deal with Reebok that pays him $800k per year until he hits 55.

Then they'll pay him a lump sum of $32 million.

That is just downright unbelievable!

Endorsements and sponsorship deals are extremely lucrative.

It seems the stars make more money that way than playing the game.

Switching to the NFL, do you know of any Tom Brady endorsements?

He has to have some major ones in the works with another Superbowl win.

No kidding!

I can only imagine!

Ha!

But can you believe that NFL and MLB players make less in a lifetime than engineers do?

We always hear about the star's salaries, but not the rest of the 1st and 2nd string.

So I could see that an engineer with a 40 year career could easily out earn an average NFL player with a 10 year career.

A guess that given the few slots available to move up from collegiate to pro, you enter the draft when the time is right regardless if you are nearing finishing your degree.

That is true.

But you know what gets me?

There are no rules that against females playing as long as they meet the requirements.

So I can't believe one has never been signed as at least a kicker, especially in this day and age!

The glass ceiling for refs came crashing down during the playoffs with the 1st NFL ref officiating a playoff game.

So, it is probably just a matter of time.

What I find interesting is how tech has changed the game.

Now we have tracking chips in shoulder pads and balls to know precise location and other parameters.

Agreed.

It's amazing how technologically advanced the game has become, despite the actual live gameplay itself only lasting an average of 11 minutes!

I am still trying to figure that one out.

We have four f15 minute quarters, or 60 minutes.

So where does the time go?

I wonder with the advent of TV, game play time is affected by the need for commercial breaks?

I would imagine so.

It just doesn't seem real though, does it?

Speaking of unreal NFL facts, can you believe Saints cheerleaders aren't allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the Saints players?

In fact, if a player enters a restaurant they're dining in, the cheerleaders have to leave.

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

Some traditions / superstitions revolving around sports is unreal!

For example, its a proven fact that "granny style" is the most consistent shooting style for free throws.

NBA players refuse to do it because "it looks stupid".

Ha!

I don't blame them there, even though I wouldn't be surprised to see a player eventually try that approach.

But when you're the best paid athletes by average annual salary in the world, looking silly is the last thing one would want!

I guess...  Do you watch much sports on TV or mainly other shows?

I do and I actually love the Simpson's.

There's one episode in particular where Bart never makes an appearance nor is even mentioned that I still want to see.

What about you?

I do not watch much sports on TV.

Its  just not the same as being there.

So, I have season tickets to my alma mater, the LSU Tigers.

The Simpson's have been going strong since 1989 - thats unbelievable.

Did you know that when Family Guy ended, the crew received flowers from the Simpsons production team?

I wonder if it was congratulations, condolences, or a bit of both?

Ha!

I think it was more of a thank you.

I can only guess neither of them like Family Guy.

Were you a fan of the 70s Show?

I was looking forward to seeing the UK remake but it was sadly cancelled after 10 episodes.

The 70s Show was not really my style.

I am more into drama.

And, the kids when younger were into Thomas the Tank Engine and similar shows.

Did you know Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin all did more than 52 episodes of Thomas?

I found that astonishing considering Carlin and Baldwin are both know for very salty language!

Oh, no!

I wasn't aware of that.

Hard to believe all three of them served as narrators!

I was into Pokemon more when I was younger although I don't think I watched even half of the 750 episodes of Pokemon.

Ha!

That is far too manu.

Well it was a pleasure chatting with you!

I hope you have a great evening, my friend!


Hello

Well Hello My friend!

Happy Thursday.

You know, I woke up melancholy today and couldnt help but think how far we've come since World war II, Television has improved since black and white TV.

This morning, I turned on my TV with my voice.

It's beautiful, the growth yet crazy thinking about the Future.

Yes i have an echo dot that works my tv also

I Love mine, since early 2000's the world began to transition to digital television and went worldwide in the 2010's it amazes me how much was done in such little time.

Do you have any favorite shows?

No, I like the classic comedy sit coms.

You can never go wrong with classic comedy sitcoms!

Did you ever watch "The 70's show"?

I did, still do, I love it.

But did you know they tried remaking it in the UK but it was cancelled after 10 episodes.

i didnt know that.

I did watch the show a couple of times.

My favorite show is Cheers as I was a bar owner for quite awhile.

Oh nice!

I would Love to have my own bar!

Speaking of bar, it reminds me of Bart Simpson, haha did you know in the entire show of "the simpsons", there is only ONE episode where is doesnt come out or is mentioned!

Did you ever watch that show?

I'm just full of fun facts today :)

Yes i have seen that show a number of times

Me too!

I couldn't decide which one I liked better.

Between "the simpsons" South Park, &Family guy.

which, btw, they are all connected, Did you know they they were so sweet to each other.

When south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew, now thats is wild to think of.

Yes , I had heard that somewhere before

I didn't know.

Hm, how about Pokemon?

Did you ever watch hthat as a kid?

I did, but I never knew that there are over 750 episodes!

that's over 50 a year for 16 years straight!

now they were busy!

I never did see that show.
Thats a lot of episodes

Indeed, definately beats Ringo Starr, George Carlin and Alec baldwin which by the way, they have narrated over 52 episodes of Thomas the tank engine

That something that i would never had guessed.

Me either, but enough about me,  Do you  know any fun facts?

Do you enjoy sports?

i love baseball, football and basketball

Oh really?
me too!
I'm a huge Chicago Bears fan.

I am a Green Bay Packer fan

Oh no, this conversation is over!

haha totally kidding.

I was a New Orleans fan too until I found out that their cheerleaders cannot eat in the same restaurant as the players, if one walks in they must leave!

thats crazy in my opinion.

Yes.
That sounds nuts

well, nice chatting with ya.

Peace out :) oh and have an awesome day!


Do you watch football?

Hi, how are you today?
Sometimes I watch football.

I do too.

Did you know there is onlyone left handed QB in the nfl?

Yeah, I heard that.

I guess it's hard for teams to adjust around a lefty.

I wonder if that is in fact the issue, seems like a lot of work to work around that.

I see so many lefties in the MLB, I figure it would be the same in the NFL.

I am surprised by the origins of the huddle.

Yeah, it was to hide singals from the opposing team!

Clever.

It's such a fundamental part of the game now.

Do you listen to the radio much?

I used to, but I was wondering how you could listen to Jupiter from the AM radio.

I bet Jupiter is better than most top 40 these days.

Yeah, hilarious.

Did you know in Canada that they make you listen to 40% Canadian music?

I think the law is there to protect Canadian artists in their home market.

Everybody is a Rush fan as a result.

LOL, I forgot about Rush.
They have a really good drummer,

He was a terrible hockey player, so he took up music.

Would you listen to a news broadcast in Latin?

Nah, I can't speak the language, I would get nothing out of it.

Why is this a thing in Finland?

A news program in Latin?

Some rich weirdo must pay for it, or there are a ton of volunteers.

LOL.

Did you know that the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office?

I guess he had a following.
I bet Trump would release albums.

Maybe, I'm not sure.
Were the ones in Indonesia successful?

I have no idea.

He probably made a law that people had to buy them.

Trump would probably record with Kanye.

That would be a good album wouldn't it?


Do you play or watch football?

I love the NFL!

Did you see Alex Smith's injury?
He broke his tibia and fibula.

That was a nasty injury; they only showed it once on replay though

That is good, It is a gruesome injury to look at.

I watched live as a Cowboy's ankle broke last weekend, terrible.

Oh yeah, that was a nasty one too.

There have been way too many injuries this year

I agree with that!

Football can get dangerous sometimes.

Some things you don't want to watch with a weak stomach.

WHo is your favorite QB?

Right now I like Das Prescott, Who is yours?

They have a big responsibility in calling the play while in huddle.

I have really taken a liking to Mahomes but have been a fan of Brady and Brees for many years

Awesome, not a huge huge fan of football, but rooting for the Cowboys this year, though it

They will have a tough game against the Rams this weekend; The Rams have a good QB too.

It will be a tough one to try and win for the Cowboys, since it has been so long that they have gone to the Superbowl.

I find it cool that Alex Smith received his Bachelor's degree in two years!

He will need it especially if he can't come back to football after his injury

That is definitely true with that injury he sustained.Did you know they created the huddle because of a deaf QB named Paul Hubbard?

I did but I don't understand why the NFL and QBs still do it

Not sure, I guess it makes their plays less likely to be heard or seen.

I once beat Baker Mayfield in Halo 3 in an online tournament; he's not really that good

Awesome!

I guess he better stick to football only then?

I thought more people were left handed, but Kellan Moore is the only left handled QB in the NFL!

Mahomes has been throwing some passes left handed lately

That's cool, is he normally left handed?

Or do you think he has an injury to his right hand?

No, he got stuck in a pickle and adjusted for the play


Hi there, hope all is well.
Can't wait to chat with You ;)

The Alex Smith injury, his broken leg in the game against the Texans was a bad one.

Really  ?
Is he ok ?
How was the game ?
:)

Alex broke his tibia and fibula when he was sacked in the game.

Ok.

I have to ask :) what sport are we talking about ;)

Football

ahhh , love football.

Ronaldo and Messi are keep competing who scores more goals :)

American football, Alex Smith was playing for the Washington Redskins against Houston.

ahhh, sorry ;) I thought we're talking about a game where players use their feet to kick the ball :)

That'

That's football :)

Both games are similar in that players use their feet to kick a ball.

After the sack the Redskins punted the ball away.

Are You a Redskins fan ?

No, but I am an American football fan and I do enjoy watching high level soccer occasionally as well as some of the World Cup games.

Great !

I mean good for You man, most of the Americans I talk to is laughing at Soccer... sad really, it's a sport I love from early childhood :)

I am a fan of the US National team.....the fact that we didn't qualify for the last World Cup is bothersome but I definitely prefer American football.

I hear You.

I tried to watch American Football and I get the rules, but for some reason it just wasn't entertaining for me... not much was really happening and the game was interrupted every couple of seconds... sorry, no offense...

That's similar to how I see soccer, and I don't get offended, in fact that word is not in my vernacular.

Basically, it's what you grew up playing and what you know.....that's your passion.

Amen to that brother.

Every time I play - heart beats a little faster :)

College football is my big thing and I played football in high school.

I played soccer as a youngster but never had a drive for it.

I was born in Europe ( Poland ) - we are born with soccer balls glued to our feet :)

I am well aware of the passion for soccer that most of the World has.

And my God Bless Poland, one of the few sane countries left in Europe.

Go Poland

Now that's interesting :) why do You say that ;) I mean Thank You - but why ?

Poland currently has a strong economy and strong leadership and has a true identity as a country.

Most of the other countries in Europe, especially W. Europe have lost that.

I guess so :) their immigration policy was their doom :/ sad really, but that's how we learn...

Good speaking with you.
I'm out.


Do you listen to the radio?

I love listening the radio still!

me too, nothing better than listening to the radio to work.

Did you know if you have it on AM you may be able to pick up radio storms from jupiter?

I never knew that but I'm going to have to look it up to find out how to get it.

Me too, I want to do that next commute!
Have you heard of foxhole radios

I haven't heard of those.
What are they?

They were radios made by ww2 soldiers using razorblades and pencils.

They were simple radios, so interesting

That is interesting!

There is a website where you can listen to 1000's of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

Sadly I cannot recall the name of the website.

That would be interesting to know.

It may make for a long car trip to be fun.

I like radio dramas!

Do you follow the NFL at all?

I do follow the NFL!

Nice me too, do you have a favorite quarterback?

I do like Baker Mayfield because I'm a Browns fan.

I am sorry for your years of disaster, Baker is a promising quarterback who will do great things!

I heard he video games great also!

They have been pitiful to say the least.

lol  ...and yes..he almost quit football to pursue a full time competitive gaming career.

Crazy if you ask me.

lol

For sure, I think Halo 3 was his game.

I would beat him one on one for sure lol!

Did you know how the huddle was formed?

lol  I'm not sure I've ever heard how it was formed.

Do you know?

It was formed because of a deaf quarterback Paul Hubbard.

I think he may have been a browns quarterback at one point?

He did it so the other team couldn't see his hand signals

Interesting.

I don't recall him playing for the Browns.

I could be wrong though.

I lose track of the QBs before the 80's because it was before my time.

lol  I see that there's only 1 left handed QB in the NFL...Kellan Moore.

I'm not familiar with him.

I'm guessing they mean current players?

Right, he is the backup for the cowboys I think, played at Boise State.

Vick was my favorite lefty before the jail time.

It was so nice chatting with you!

Yes...Vick is managing one of the teams in the new AAF league.

It's been fun!

No way, I didn't know that.
Enjoy your night!


do you know who Kevin Sheehan is?

I am not sure, is he the person that launched the podcast after leaving team 980?

Yeah apparently his contract expired and he was not able to renew it.

Ah, do you listen to the radio a lot?

Not a whole lot everything's digital now a days.

How about you?

I only listen to the radio while I am on the car.

Apparently the storms on Jupiter are so strong they can be picked on AM radio.

Wow!

There is also a website where you can listen to thousands upon thousands of classical radio dramas.

All for free!

Free always good!

Soldiers use to make radios out of razor blades and pencils in WW2 they dubbed the the foxhole radios.

Canadian radios also have to play 40% canadian music.

I think that's a good ideal.

I think it helps to preserve their culture.

What do you think about that?

I guess, although I do not think that they need that rule.

A lot of artists that I listen to are already Canadian and I think that they make excellent music.

That's true too.

did you know that the nfl has no written rule preventing women from playing in the nfl?

Really?

Wow.

The average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live action.

I wonder why so many people still enjoy it.

I know it's crazy there is so much money in sports.

there are 32 teams and 17 weeks of regular season with one bye week.

I agree.
Thank you for your time!
It was nice chatting with you.

Know they are going to have tracking chips in their padding as well as the football.

You i enjoyed it!

The tracking chip in the football are responsible for keeping track of its rotations and velocity.

Yeah that makes sense.

You know if a cheerleader is eating at a restaurant and a player comes in to eat they have to leave?

That is a very unfair rule, I wonder why it even exists.

Do they have something against cheerleaders?

I assume it's got something to do with player fraternization.

It's only like that in New Orleans.

Yeah.
Anyways, thank you for your time!
It was nice chatting with you!

You too my friend have a good night!

In parting the iPhone has more computing power than a nuclear icbm deterrent.


Hello!
How are you tonight?

I'm good.
How are you?

I'm doing well!
Do you like to watch football?

Yes I do.

I watched college and NFL football games.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

49ers since I used to live in the Bay area.

I lived there for 30 years.

Oh nice!

Can you believe there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay during the game?

I heard about it and was very surprised.

What do they mostly do?

I figured it's all commercials and huddles with the clock going.

Do you think we will ever see a lady tryout for a team?

I don't know.

NFL allows female players if they are eligible.

Well that is an interesting fact!

If wonder if the NFL donates things to other countries like UNICEF does for every minute you don't use your cellphone?

I don't know.

Talking about cellphones, Actress Hedy Lamar helped to invent the cellphone, GPS and wi-fi.

Oh really?

That is awesome!

I wonder if that is the reason why Iphones have more computer power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent?

I'm not sure.

Apparently, there is almost no correlation between cell phone connection quality and bars of service.

Oh really?

I wonder if that helps pick up radio frequencies though from Jupiter's radio storms?

I do not think so.

I think they are two different technologies.

I guess you're right!

Have you ever listened to a radio drama?

No, I would like to the next time I drive long distance.

I just found out that one of the most popular radio acts of the 1930s was a ventriloquist.

It baffles me.

How would you ever know who was talking lol.

I know, right?

Apparently, there is a radio station that translates solar activity into sound and you can listen live to the sun's music.

I wonder how that sounds?

I'm going to look into it haha.

It was great chatting, have a great night!


Have you heard of Kevin Sheehan before?

I have.

I believe he was a sports radio personality?

He is, he hosts a show with a former Redskins player, I bet the show is pretty good.

I think I did hear about that.
Is the Redskins player Chris Cooley?

Yeah he used to be a tight end, its amazing how we can hear others through the radio

Radios are fascinating.

Jupiter has radio storms strong enough that you can hear them on an AM radio.

Really?

I wonder what frequency is that, there is a website were you can listen to free radio dramas

I wonder if those are as entertaining now as they were then?

I'm amazed at how primitive you can devise a radio.

WWII soldiers were able to make them with a razorblade and a pencil.

That skill was definitely handy back in WWII, theres also a radio station in latin.

I had heard that there was a weekly Latin broadcast and I wondered why.

It's a dead language so who is that audience?

I guess some people like latin, it would be interesting to understand it though.

It would.

I would imagine a lot of older transcripts would be interesting to read.

Are you an NFL fan by any chance?

I  am a fan, it strange how a game averages only 11 minutes of live gameplay.

I'm not surprised.

I always knew they were way too long for the amount of actual content.

Did you know that they have no written rule against female players?

I  didnt know that although I can see why its not a written rule, are you watching the Super bowl on Sunday?

I am but I'm not happy about it.

I'm so tired of seeing the Patriots in the Super bowl.

It's super boring at this point.

How about yourself?

I am a Patriots fan so no problem there lol, whats your favorite team?

The Bears who made it to the playoffs for the first time in forever and then a field goal ended it.

Upsetting.

Did you know that players have chips in their should pads to record their every move?

No I didnt, I thought only the footballs had those chips, its interesting to know players do too.

The footballs have the chips to which makes me wonder why they don't use those to make calls rather than just relying on replays?

Yeah like in soccer or in tennis, they use the chips to make important calls.


Hi do you listen to the radio?

Yes I do.

You?

It's amazing how radio waves can produce such crisp sound!

Yes!

lol  According to Canadian law, all radios there must play at least 40 percent Canadian artists.

Whoa that is a strict rule.

Do you know Bing Crosby?

He sounds very popular in the late 1940's!

I do know him.

Jupiter has radio storms that are so strong that they can be picked up on AM radio.

That would be neat to hear I think.

Yes I would like to hear that one time.

One of the most popular radio acts of the 1930s thirties was a ventriloquist.

I didn't know that.

How interesting!

Soldiers in WW2 made simple radios using a razorblade and pencil as the diode, dubbing them foxhole radios!

Very innovative indeed.

Bill Murray voiced the human torch in the 1970s fantastic four radio show.

I didn't know that!
How interesting!

Yes isn't it?

Remember that song MMmmbop by Hanson?

They were once the most requested track on an alt rock Chicago station because the dj didn't say the title of the artist!

Hahah That's awesome!

I'm going to have mmmbop in my head now the rest of the night.

Haha sorry about that but it is a catchy song!

Sometimes I forget to turn the radio down when I am on the phone.

Dolphins can even communicate over telephone!

There is a website where you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas for free!

I wish I know the name of it.

Yes I would consider checking that out.

Do you think it works on the iphone?

I love my iphone and it's hard to think back on the old dial phones.

It was invented by an undertaker!

I didn't know that!

I remember the old rotary phones from when I was a kid.

I can't believe how far phones have come since then.

Yes it truly is amazing.

Apparently a 1930's actress Hedy Lamarr helped to invent the cellphone, wi-fi, and GPS!

I had no idea!

An iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent!

Whoa that is a lot of power in our pocket!

Did you know there is no correlation between cell phone connectivity quality and "bars" of service.

I had no idea!

New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone!

I had a good time chatting with you!

Interesting.

Must not matter much anymore.

There is even a luxury phone maker that hires the london symphony to record exclusive ringtones.

Great chatting with you too, goodnight!

That is neat!
Have a good night too!


Hello, do you like Football?

I do like Football.

Do you?

I've heard that it's been a category on Jeopardy before!

I do, but I don't follow it very much, and I heard about that Jeopardy show and the NFL based knowledge, I would never pass that one haha!

It could be hard.

I'm not sure I could get ones where they ask about specific plays.

Right?

I wouldn't either.

I guess during that episode Alex Trebek was considered the entertainment on that show hahaa, There were some pretty funny answers.

He is pretty good.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers considers him the greatest of all time of game show hosts.

He is!

I like him a lot.

I think he knows everything about the NFL Football after being the host for so many years!

Football seems so slow!

An entire game only has about 11 minutes of actual live play!

Wow!

That must mean a lot of commercials and penalties go on during a game!

Football has been around a long time though.

The first playoff was in 1932.

Wow, that is a long time!

But football is loved by many!

I didn't know that Football players don't really make as much money as you would think, an engineer makes more in a lifetime than an NFL player!

I guess that means that Matt Patricia likes the game then more than money considering he was an aeronautical engineer before becoming a coach.

What?

That's amazing!

He must love the game a lot!

Even back in the 60's pro bowlers made more than top football players!

Twice as much....

That is so bizarre to think that bowlers make more than football players!

Especially with the Superbowl coming up on the first Sunday in February!

I know, it blows my mind!

The game has been a favorite of sports fans forever.

The superbowl is the best, I do watch that for sure!

Those players are like animals on the field when it comes to the Superbowl!

I have to admit I do like watching the best of the nfc and afc compete against each other!

Speaking of animals, did you know there is a lawyer in Switzerland that represents them in court?

Represents animals?

I guess since there are 20 quintillion animals out there this lawyer has his work cut out for him!

I bet he does at that!

I wonder if he would need a translator for some.

Some animals from distant areas speak different dialects or languages.

True, lol....I guess some animals are protected already like the loch ness monster.

I guess Germany was the 1st to give animals guaranteed legal rights.

That is so interesting!

That is interesting!

Have you heard about the netherlands building natural bridges for wildlife so they won't get hit by cars on the roads?

No!

Wow, that's awesome!

Very smart and kind of them.

I love animals more than a lot of people lol!

It is a great thing they did!
i wish the U.S. would do that!

I do too, we have so many animals going extinct it would probably help a lot.

They deserve to thrive and be safe too.

They do indeed.

I like that they have their own scientific kingdom called Animalia.


Haha did you watch the Jeopardy episode with the NFL category?

It was on recently

I did not, it must have been funny though, what happened during it?

Apparently they were reading a lot of Clues but no one on the panel even buzzed in because they had no idea what the answers were lol

I bet not, it's a pretty niche subject to know all that knowledge.

They've got more important things to learn lol.

That does suck about Alex Trebek though.

Yes I agree his diagnosis was sad.

Speaking of the NFL, do you watch the games a lot?

I only watch important games like the superbowl myself

For sure, hope he can have a peaceful rest of his life.

I watch a few, there's only 11 minutes a game of actual play, I wonder how they calculated that stat.

Yeah game seem so much longer than that, it must be the commercials though.

What do you think about the fact that engineers make more in their lifetime than the average NFL or MLB player?

That's pretty crazy, I could see that though.

It's the long game for the engineers, it's a lot more stable of a job.

Haha yes I think you're right.

But I don't like them it's how the Saints treat their cheerleaders, I think that a cheerleader should not have to leave the restaurant if a player is already there, that seems very sexist

For sure, people should be able to go eat where they want, I don't like how they can tell the cheerleaders what to do or what not to do.

You a big animal person?

yes I love dogs!

and its crazy to me that there are a total of 20 quintillion animals on earth but im sure most are bugs haha

For sure, that's a ton of organisms.
I love dogs too, they are so awesome.
Do you have a dog?

Yes we have a husky actually and she's super awesome!

It's crazy that Germany is the first country to give animals constitutional rights, I wonder what those are

That's awesome, I love Husky's!

Animals should definitely have rights, my dog is awesome too!

He's an Australian Shepard Terrier mix, I love him.

That's great what's his name!

What's interesting to me is that animals will apparently develop a white patch on their forehead if they are domesticated, I wonder why

His name is Rogue, what about yours?

That's interesting about the white patch, I'd be curious to dig deeper into that!

Yes her name is Tetra!

And she's very cute haha.

What do you think about the fact that hiccups are actually and evolutionary thing that are relics of when land animals had lungs and gills?

That's interesting, the evolutionary things are so cool, I get the hiccups a lot too.

Haha I think I have the right now.

I'm just glad though that Scotland passed a lot to protect the Loch Ness monster back in 1912 just in case it exists lol

That's funny, I'd definitely be a lawyer in Switzerland to represent the animals, love them!

Yep animals are awesome!

It's so funny to that they can be millions of a meter to multiple meters long lol I love animals of all shapes and sizes


Good morning!
How are you?

I am great.
How are you doing this morning?
You good?

All good on my end!
Do you like watching football?

I sometimes watch football.
You?

I like watching it when it's on!

Can you believe there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay?

I can.

they do so much standing around and waiting.

it feels like they try to run down the clock.

i wouldnt buy a ticket.

too expensive.

It really is!

Maybe that's why they get paid the big bucks these days, unlike in the 60s.

the 60s were not a great time for players.

i dont think they had a union, and the league revenue was pretty low.

I agree, even bowlers made double what they made!

The bowlers were living in a golden age.

never again will they see that kind of money and attention.

LOL

I agree!

They are lucky to make it on ESPN 12 lol.

Do you think there will ever be a woman that tries out for a team?

I don't know enough about women's bodies to say.

There aren't many women who play in high school or college though.

I agree, but there is a small chance someday!

Did you know ESPN won an emmy for their yellow first down line?

I heard that.

i guess they were the first to create superimposed graphics.

now they are everywhere.

I agree that is crazy!

I think the University of Iowa should get one for their pink locker rooms!

Yeah, the pink locker room.
does that trick even work?
I wonder.
if it did, everyone would do it.

I doubt it, because the hawkeyes don't do so well at home haha.

That makes sense.

can they make the locker room even more pink?LOL

Maybe a splash of hot pink will do the trick!

Anyways, great chatting with you!

I had fun chatting too!

Have a great day!


Do you like football?

Hello there, yeah I am a fan, but mostly of my local team.

How about you?

Not too much but I enjoy the parties that come with watching those games

Yeah football parties are usually fun, especially super bowl parties.

Did you know that the NFL does not have any rules about which gender can participate in the game?

Yeah I think that would be so cool if a female player made a pro roster.

Yeah that would.

I hear that they do not make that much money though, except for the popular players of course

Yeah I guess bowlers back in the 60

Strange fact, new orleans cheerleaders are not allowed to dine in the same restaurant as the nfl players

That is strange, you figure rules like that are phased out by now, but I guess not.

Yeah, go figure.

And they seem to really need to know a lot about their players considering they user tracking chips inside their shoulder pads.

Yeah I think they put them in helmets for measuring impact of hits to make things safer as well.

Very interesting with all this technology nowadays.

How about other types of football, like soccer, do you watch it at all?

Yeah that is probably my favorite, but I only really follow the english and european leagues.

How about you?

Yeah me too, I am a fan of soccer especially around the world cup.

Do you have a favorite team?

Yeah the world cup is always a blast to watch.

I follow Liverpool from england, how about yourself?

Nice.

I have been a fan of Real Madrid for a long time.

Ok you have seen a lot of success recently.

You beat us in the final last season specifically, I hope we can see you there again.

hahaha, it is just so much fun, the game itself and all the cheering and the fans.

How about the animal world, do you take much interest there?

Yeah I am a big fan of animals and nature, how about you?

Most definitely, I love science in general.

Crazy to think we share the planet with 20 quintillion other species of animals

Yeah it is crazy to think of that.

Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.


Hello, how are you today?

I'm doing well, thanks!!
How about you?

Doing great.

Did you know that Iowa has painted their opponents locker room pink?

No I didn't.
Do you happen to know the reason why?

Just guessing that pink would make the players calmer, less aggressive.

I think I would retaliate by shutting of Iowas hot water.

Ha Ha!!!
Thanks.
Do you follow soccer at all these days?

No, I don't follow soccer.
Do you?

Yes I do and in fact I recently read somewhere that D.C. United have a stadium called Audie Field and according to their officials it will welcome more than just MLS matches.

I do know that soccer is the most popular game in the world.

What makes it so exciting?

It is a game that has been around for a very long time.

It is played from what I heard by 250 million players in over 200 countries in the world.

Do you have a favorite team?

I do.

I'm a big Liverpool fan but also like Juventus, Barcelona and the New England Revolution.

Are they all in the same league?

No the teams that I mentioned are in different leagues and in different countries.

With all those different leagues how do they determine who are the world champions?

Each country has a league and from there it gets determined by their position in the rankings if they making to the Champions League in Europe or not.

So the Champions League determines the overall champion?

Correct and that is just in Europe!!!

Here in the US it works differently.

I read somewhere that soccer players run on average 7 miles per game.

That's a lot, and I know there's a lot of real action, whereas football only has 11 minutes of live action in a game.

Wow!!!

I didn't know this.

I also recently read that the Super Bowl is smaller than soccer's 3rd biggest event.

And I didn't know that.

Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me somewhat about soccer.

It was my pleasure.

I love soccer and I have been watching it since I was a kid.

It was great chatting with you today!!

Thanks, and you have a nice day.


Do you follow the NFL?

Hello,  no I do not follow the NFL really.

Do you?

I recently learned that snoop dogg wrote a fight song for his sons high school team lol

Not really, I prefer soccer but football is an interesting game as well, interesting fact but in the 60s top bowlers made more money than football players.

That is pretty crazy considering that the football players are more prone to injuries lol I guess it was good to be a bowler back then!

I agree and theres also all that brain damage, I think its a risky sport but now you will earn a lot of money for doing so.

Yeah football players do make a ridiculous amount of money!

I agree especially players like Benjarvus Green Ellis, the guy never fumbled the ball in his entire carreer, that is an awesome stat to hold.

that is really impressive!

I wonder why that guy isnt more known lol There is a rocket scientist that was a football coach,  Matt Patricia.

Wow I bet he was a pretty good coach, expensive to hire as well.

Yeah.
I bet it was worth it though!

Yeah I agree, so do you also like soccer?

its a sport that moves a lot of money

I have watched soccer on occassion,  but I do not keep up with it.

Do like soccer?

I do like soccer, there is a German player that donated his winning bonus to 23 Brazilian children

Wow that is amazing!

Yeah he has a big heart for sure, not many players would do that even dough they make a lot of money, interesting fact but soccer makes more money than almost every other sport combined

Wow that is awesome!

Good they are making good money,  seems like they get injured a lot also.

Yeah in soccer injuries are quite common, there are over 250 million players so imagine how  many broken legs that figure represents.

Yikes,  Id rather not thanks lol I hear soccer players run an average of 7 miles per game!

That is a long distance, 7 miles per game,  it must be really exhausting.

I recently learned that Greenland cant join FIFA because there's not enough grass there lol can't they use fake grass?

I agree lol, with all the tech they could definetly install a soccer court with fake grass, some pro teams have them,


do you watch football?

Yes I did Snoop Dogg wrote a song for his son's football team once

Wow nice.

Bowlers used to make more than football players in the 60s

I guess it was a more popular sport back in the day

Make sense right?

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

Hmm I am not so sure, it is a big difference?

It sure is, 222-0 Georgia Tech versus Cumberland

WOw that a score.

Did you know more than half of major stadiums are in the US?

Really?
Wow.
Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?

I did not.
What did they win it for?

For the superimposed yellow line.
Did you know women can play in the NFL?

Did not know that.

They are using chips to track the players in the field

Nice.

WHat are they tracking, anything specific?

Yes they track for velocity and rotation and balls speed and a bunch of stuff

Nice I wonder if that can be used in any way to make the game safer

Good point.

Did you know a coach used to be a rocket scientist?

REally that is a huge jump in career who is that?

That is Matt Patricia and you are right about the career jump for sure

Yeah.
Do you like association football?

I do like it.

Do you know players run 7 miles per game?

That is a lot of miles, wow


Are you a NFL fan?

I am.
I like the Steelers

Who are you going for in Super Bowl?

Any team other than New England.
I do prefer the Eagles though.

Though I'm glad the playoffs are here, I'm sad the season is coming to an end.

It will make Sundays a little more boring without football to watch.

I hope to see a woman player in the NFL soon, maybe as a kicker at least.

That would be interesting.

I just hate the fact the actual live gameplay is so short.

I do too.

It is actually ridiculous that it is only 11 minutes.

There are too many commercials.

With as many commercials, you would think the players would be paid better than engineers.

Most people think that they are paid these huge salaries, so they won't have to worry about their futures, but most cannot play for too long, so yes an engineer can make more money.

Maybe the endorsements help to make up the gap for some of the more recognizable players.

Most likely.

They probably make more over their lifetimes in endorsements than just from salary alone.

Did you know the Saints cheerleaders have to leave the restaurant if players come in

I just learned that.

I don't get that.

That is the dumbest thing in the world.

I have no idea what the reason for that is.

Maybe the football players shouldn't be permitted to eat at the restaurant if the cheerleaders were there first.

Makes the league and team look hypocritical of women

Absolutely.

Talk about degrading as well.

But they also use tracking chips in shoulder pads to record every player move on a field, so the league has some issues.

I wonder what kind of stats are collected and they are used

I couldn't imagine.

They can just rewatch games to see what had happened.

They don't need chips.

Very creepy.

Go Patriots!


Hi, how are you this morning?

Great!

Hope you're doing well!

So do you follow association football aka soccer?

Hard to believe it makes more money than golf, tennis, football, basketball, baseball and hockey combined!

I watch a little soccer.
I didn't realize it made so much money.

It's crazy, isn't it?

I guess that's why Mesut Ozil donated his entire world cup victory bonus to pay for the surgery of 23 children in Brazil.

Must have been pocket change considering!

I guess if you take into consideration it's played by 250 million people worldwide in over 200 countries, it is alot of money.

That was such a great act that Mesut did for those kids.

Kudos to him.

Agreed!

Hopefully others follow in his footsteps.

So do you follow regular football aka gridiron ball like the NFL?

I do and always wondered why there are no females when the NFL has no rules against them joining as long as they meet the requirements!

I watch a little football.

I've wondered myself about the females, as well.

I mean, there's only 11 minutes of live game play anyway.

So you'd think at least one or two would have been drafted or picked up by a team, right?

True, that's alot of standing around time on the sidelines, for sure.

You would think at least a kicker would be a female.

Agreed.

Maybe they'd rather enter engineering since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL/MLB player.

It'd be a much wiser decision, I suppose!

That's so true.

I find it interesting that the top bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much as the top football stars.

That's wild.

No kidding!

What's even wilder (or sadder actually) is knowing Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as Saints players and if one walks in after, they have to leave.

That is just wrong!

I know.

I'd like to know the incident that prompted that rule.

I bet it's very juicy.

Exactly.

I wonder what happened!

Still that could classify as discrimination in this day and age, I suppose.

But is that truly as bad as Georgia Tech once beating a team 222-0?

Ha!

The highest score ever in the game of football!

Yeah, I think that game was played way back in 1916, nowadays that just doesn't happen, anymore.

Look at the recent superbowl, lowest scoring superbowl game ever.

So true!

But when you have players in the league like Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbling the ball, I can see why!

That's a pretty awesome feat for him to accomplish.

Imagine the pressure of never fumbling the ball.

It would be too much for me.

Same here.

I'd probably fumble as soon as it's handed to me.

Ha!

Wonder what his mindset would be if he was forced to visit the visitor's lockerroom at Iowa before a game, where the massage pink?

Talk about demeaning!

That's crazy!

An all pink locker room would be very intimidating for any visiting team, for sure.

Getting back to soccer, I was shocked to learn that Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player.

Wow!

That is shocking!

I tell you what surprised me was learning there is actually a soccer variation where 3 teams face each other at the exact same time!

It's like, how does that happen?

That's pretty wild, I'd like to watch a game of that being played.

Well, it's been nice chatting with you this morning.

I need to get to work, I'll talk to you later, friend.


Hi.
Do you like sports?

Hi, I do like football as in NFL football, although I am a fan of association football as well.

Me too.

I like the NFL but I do also watch other leagues of football as well on occasion.

Did you hear that Winston Churchill High is doing very well?

Is that high school football?

Can't say I have watched that, at least not since I was in high school.

Sometimes I watch Canadian football which is a little different then NFL.

That is high school football and Winston Churchill High hired a former NFL corner back to lead the football team there.

Oh right.

Now that you mention it I think I did see something about this on ESPN.

Willie Williams is running the team right?

That is correct.

They also hired Chris Samuels and he played offensive tackle for the Redskins.

It's interesting these guys want to coach high school football after being pros.

You'd think they would have made more then enough money in the NFL to set them for life.

I think that they did it to give back to the community because they did make their money in the NFL and this is a way for the them to give back.

That's probably right.

Then again maybe playing in the NFL doesn't set you for life.

Association football players (soccer) make more money.

Way back in the 60s the best football players made less than the top bowlers at that time.

That's crazy.

I wonder if back then there was more action in NFL games?

Don't get me wrong I enjoy it but the average game has just 11 minutes of actual game play.

That was insane indeed.

I didn't know that but going back to your previous point soccer players make more money than any other sport out there.

Since they make more money they can be more generous Mesuit Ozil donated his 300 000 euro world cup bonus to pay for children's surgeries.

I've never heard of an NFL player donating his super bowl bonus.

Neither do I.

That was a very generous donation by Mesut Ozil and he is a fantastic soccer player is he German?

Yes.

The surgeries for for children in Brazil.

The host country of that world cup.

Such a nice story.

This is truly inspiring.

It's funny that we even call association football soccer here.

Did you know "soccer" is a slang term?

That's how it originally caught on.

I didn't know that soccer is slang term and its kind of weird that is called association football here.

Almost as weird as 3 team soccer have you seen that before?

All 3 teams play at once!

That is crazy.

I'm not sure what the actual rules for this type of game are.

I only saw it once and it was really hard to follow.

Anyways I've got to get going.

Me too.
Thanks for chatting with me today.
Have a nice day.

Bye

Bye


Hey are you going to watch the XFL?
And have you ever been to Audi field

I do plan on watching the XFL!

I Think it will be interesting to see how the XFL and DC United share the Southwest DC facility in 2020 considering how football will take a harder toll on the grass there.

What about you?

Yeah I'm looking forward to the XFL actually.

I also miss the days before football stadiums were named after corporate sponsors LOL like Audi field

So true!

Ha!

Are you also a fan of the NFL?

To this day, I'm surprised no female players have been signed considering there are no rules against women playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.

I think we'll see a female NFL player someday, I just wish they would fix the issue with only having 11 minutes of live gameplay per game, that seems so boring to me

So true.

I mean, if they can create chips that tracks players movements and ball location/speed/velocity/rotation, they can extent the live gameplay time.

It's ridiculous, Isn't it?

That is ridiculous, I'm not sure why they would want to know the rotation of the ball, but I can understand why they want to know a player's speed and location

You're right.

But then again, engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players so maybe it's easier engineers to create these chips than it is for NFL officials to adjust the gameplay time.

Yeah that is shocking.

Because you think they would make so much money.

Do you ever watch soccer by the way, also known as association football

I do, actually.

What about you?

I still can't believe it makes more money than the six other major sports combined!

Yeah I never watch it I think it's really boring, but it is shocking that it makes more than even American football, have you ever seen the variation where three soccer teams are playing all at once

No but I bet it's wild to see.

Ha!

Wonder if players are allowed to touch the ball with their hands and arms while it's in play unlike regular soccer?

Yeah I don't know it sounds more interesting to me than regular soccer though LOL, have you heard of the German player Mesut Ozil?

I admire him because he donated his entire world cup bonus to pay for the surgeries of 23 different kids over in Brazil.

I wish all athletes were like him!

Yes that sounds awesome, he donated over 300,000 Euros to do that too and he didn't even have to, what a nice guy

Agreed.

On a similar soccer note, did you know John Stewart was a great soccer player in college.

He also represented the US in Brazil at the Pan American Maccabi games back in 83!

That's very impressive!

I never knew that he played, what do you think about regular football AKA American football

I do enjoy football in general.

In fact, Benjarvus Green-Ellis was one of my favorite players because he never fumbled the football in his entire pro career, which is amazing!

I agree it is amazing!

They should pay him a lot of money!

What do you think about uspn winning an Emmy for creating the yellow line that shows during TV broadcasts of football games

They truly deserved it.

The yellow line is so innovative and I don't think I can watch a game without it.

We talked about engineers getting paid more earlier, but can you believe the top bowlers made more than the top football players back in the 60s?

That's so sad and disappointing considering how rough football is compared to how easy bowling is.

Yes I think bowling is much easier than becoming a professional football player LOL.

What do you think about University of Iowa painting their locker rooms completely pink


Hi, do you watch football

Yes, I watch football sometimes but I'm more of a basketball fan.

How about you ?

I also watch basketball, and it is one of my favorite sports.

im actually watching the lakers vs warriors right now

Me too.
Hopefully nothing wrong with Lebron

im not a lebron fan !!!

im hoping something is a little wrong with him haha

whatever.

Btw, do you watch football games this season

no havent watched any, did you know Soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined.

I think it makes sense to me because soccer is the most popular sport i the world.

Im not a soccer fan so im not to sure what they make

I think soccer players make less money than a basketball player.

But as a whole soccer is watched by a lot of people more in comparison to basketball.

That is just my opinion

Yea basketball players are making upwards of 50 million a year thats crazy.

I know overseas soccer is a huge sport.

In There exists a variation of soccer where 3 teams face each other at the same time.

I never heard of such thing.

How 3 teams can play on the field at the same time is a mind blowing.

Hahaha

Im sure that would cause a lot of confusion on the field !

Both to the players and the viewers.

Did you know that Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player in college and in for the US in the Pan American Maccabi games?

I had no idea, Im a huge jon stewart fan, speaking of football In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars

I am very surprised that a top bowler made more than a top football player.

What happened to the sport of bowling?

Bowling popularity has drastically decreased

I love bowling, i play all the time.

Tried taking my little brother he said it was "boring" and that "fortnite" was more fun.

I agree with your brother there.

But we have different hobbies and interests, right?

agreed, as long as everyone tries different things with an open mind then thats all we can ask for

Your Warrior will go down today, hahaha.

Btw, nice chatting with you.

Enjoy the game

Thank you.
We will come back stronger !


I have a friend who is considering engineering, and I should tell her that she'll make more in her lifetime than the average NFL or MLB player

It is true, sometimes it really does pay to be smart

Of course, if she worked hard enough to meet the eligibility requirements, she could technically join the NFL

Ive never heard of a female player in the NFL, but plenty who play "association football" or soccer as most people say it.

Soccer was actually a slang term that Americans use.

But it's slang for the official name

It is a wildly popular sport.

The super bowl, is smaller than soccer's third biggest event.

That's not surprising considering over 200 countries play the sport

The only country that definitely cant join is greenland.

Not enough grass grows there for a soccer field.

Even without their involvement, soccer still makes more money than the other popular sports combined

It does, and it has some major activists too.

There was an Ivory Coast player who single handedly stopped a civil war.

That's impressive.

A German player paid for surgeries for children in Brazil using his World Cup victory bonus

So many players have contributed so positively to society.

That is one thing I really like about the soccer community.

Jon Stewart was part of that community during his college days and played at the Pan American Maccabi Games

I didnt know that.

Thats pretty cool.

Snoop Dog actually wrote his son's high school fight song

I wonder if they still use that every year.

It still doesn't get used as much as the superimposed yellow first down line that ESPN created for American football.

They even have an Emmy for that invention

I know, that is an important one.

My mother was surprised it wasnt there when she watched my brother play live in high school.

It definitely helps in keeping track of the game.

I wonder who had to keep track of the score them Georgia beat Cumberland in 1916.

220 points is a lot!

Wow, how bad must one team be to not score, AND get that many points scored on them.

I wonder how many turnovers there were in that game.

Too many!

It's still the highest score to occur in a football game

14 of the 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams.

I wonder if players from those teams who get drafted to the NFL are used to the atmosphere of large stadiums


Hi, do you like soccer?

I think I know a bit more about American football.

I know in the NFL there are 32 teams that make up the league.

That is true.
Do you have a favorite team?

I do.

I am a Packers fan.

A lot of football players have done really great though!

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

I heard there is not a rule against woman playing football.

Seems accurate... by the way i'm a bears fan!

Oh, that's funny!

Hard to believe the average lifetime salary of an engineer is more than an average NFL player.

Agreed.

The Saints cheerleaders have to leave any restaurant a player walks into.

Seems sexist.

Seems sexist to me!!

Did you know the NFL uses tracking devices?

What kind of tracking devices?

They use chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field.

I like to embed chips in my belly, especially doritos!

Soccer makes more than football though so I will push my kids that way.

I did not know that soccer players make more!

I know Americans call it soccer because it is slang for association football.

have you ever seen the game with 3 teams playing?

I haven't but wonder how that would work.

Which sport are we talking about?
Football or soccer?

Soccer, sorry!
WOuld it be on a triangle field?

I seriously wonder?!

Did you know former NFL'er Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the football in his career?

That's imppressive since he played for 2 teams over 6 years.

And one was the patriots!

He would have been benched if he did fumble!

I would say so.

Hard to believe, but the top bowlers in the 1960's made 2x as much as top FB stars.

The highest score in a football game happened in 1916, 222-0!!!

Wow!
That is a big score!
Who were the teams?

Georgia Tech and Cumberland!
Nice chatting with you!


How's it going?

Did you know football is a family of sports involving kicking a ball to score?

Yes, and there are many types of football across the world!

Yea, there's even Canadian and Australian rules football!

And dont forget soccer, which is also known as association football.

Yea, football is also pretty popular college sport, in 1916 Georgia Tech won a game scoring 222 points!

That seems a bit much.

They probably should not have run the score of that high.

Maybe Georigia Tech really dislike Cumberland

Maybe.

ESPN won an emmy for the yellow 1st down line on football games.

It is hard to imagine watching a game now without that line

Yea, the superimposed yellow firstdown marker is a godsend

I sometimes forget the players themselves cant actually see the line when they are playing

It's pretty crazy how many injures football has when there is only an average of 11 min of live gameplays

Yes, well players are getting stronger and faster all the time, with that comes injuries.

Yea, must be one of the reasons why the nfl embeds tracking chips into the players' equipment

Well, a 17 week regular season, plus lenghty playoffs can lead to a lot of injuries due to wear and tear

Yea, the game is so grueling I wonder if there will ever be a female player despite being no rules banning it

As long as she meets the requirements, it is possible

I suppose so but there still needs some changes to be made like having the Saints get rid of the rule requiring cheerleaders not to be in the same places as the players

Yeah, they have to leave the table if players show up at the restaurant.

I guess they do not want any hanky panky with the players

The saints rule sound antiquated and sexist to me, they're all adults

I agree, I just think they might want to avoid any legal problems so they are being overly cautious.

Well I have to go, nice chatting with you

Drogba once stopped a civil war in his country

WOw amazing.

Even Jon Steward used to be a soccer player

Nice a tv host and a soccer player, lots of talent there

Yes he represented the US in the panamerican games in Brazil

Wow cool.

Did you know that superbowl is very small compared to soccer events?

Wow, I guess since so many people around the works like the sport

Yeah true.

Did you know Greenland cannot join FIFA?

Really, why is that?

because they do not have enough grass for a soccer field.

Did you know SNoop Dog wrote a song for his son's team?

Wow.
Do you like the nfl?

I sure do.

Did you know Snoop Dog wrote a song for his son's team?

Cool.

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

I wonder if it is supposed to have some impact on the other team

I wonder too.
Doid you know ESPN won an EMmy once?

Did not know that.

The superimposed yellow line.
