Hey there who is your favorite quarterback?

I know that I like Tom Brady a lot cuz he wins all the time haha

For all time it would be Johnny Unitas.
Now, it's Mahomes.
I do respect Alex Smith a lot.

Yeah Alex Smith seems really smart.

He was working on his master's before he finally was drafted, and he passed out of a lot of college classes due to his High School AP scores

I do admire that.

I used to play in HS and I never knew the circular huddle was created for a deaf QB.

No I didn't know that either.

He used the Huddle to block the other team from seeing his hand signals which is actually genius

Also something to be admired... Did you know that Kellan Moore is the only left-handed QB in the NFL?

He's Dallas right?

I think so.

And yes that is crazy, it's also crazy that Baker Mayfield was going to be a professional video game player back in the day LOL he definitely made the right decision playing for the NFL

Yeah, did you hear that the U. of Iowa has a pink locker room for the visiting football team?

Does that work?

Yeah I wonder if that increased or decreased their winning percentage?

I also wonder why Bowlers were paid more than top football players back in the sixties, bowling must have been very popular back then

I think it was.

I can't see how that could be considered a better spectator sport.

I went to Georgia Tech and I didn't know we beat poor Cumberland 222-0 in 1916.

Haha that's funny!

That's such a blowout I feel bad for Cumberland.

I also think it's interesting that ESPN won an Emmy for creating the yellow line that you see when you watch a football game on TV, it's a very genius invention

I love that yellow line!

It makes the game more exciting.

I can't believe the former Pat Green-Ellis never ever fumbled in the NFL.

Yeah that's a very impressive statistic!

what do you think of the NFL by the way?

Did you know that female players are actually allowed to play?

I like the Chiefs.

Yes I did know that.

There will probably be a female kicker before too long.

I heard that there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay in an average NFL game.

That seems way short...

I agree that does seem short.

And I also think it's weird that an engineer will make more in his or her lifetime than an NFL star, that doesn't seem right but also I guess NFL players don't play for their entire lives

Yeah, I am an engineer and that's the only thing that makes sense.

Maybe one can be both, testing chips in shoulder pads?

Yes you should be an engineer for testing shoulder chips and also an NFL player to maximize your income haha!

its crazy the stats they can get from those small chips these days

Ha!

I could do the chip thing maybe but I would die on the field.

I'd rather hang with the cheerleaders which would be frowned upon in New Orleans.

Yes I agree, but it is silly how the cheerleaders would have to leave a restaurant if you walked into their LOL that definitely seems sexist these days

Yeah, I can't even see a high school requiring that.

C'mon these people are grown!

You are an excellent chat partner, thanks!

Thank you you are as well!

And definitely keep your engineering brain working on some more tracking chips because the nfl will buy them!


Hey there, are you into Football at all?

I am although I do not watch it all the time.

Did you know that Snoop dogg wrote  fight song for his son's football team?

No, I didn't.

But that seems like something he'd do.

He seems to be a great father, in my opinion.

Yep, any parent who has time time to write a song for their children is very dedicated.

Oh here is an interesting factoid about football.

The circular huddle used in today's american football was created by Paul D. Hubbard, a deaf QB, so the other team couldn't read his hand signals.

Really?

That is super smart.

There are also tracking chips placed into the NFL uniforms to track player movement.

That sounds super advanced

Yeah I heard somewhere that they have tracking chips in the footballs too, I believe.

The tracking chips in the footballs are apparently used to track its velocity and rotations.

oh that's really high tech!

Baker Mayfield a QB for the university of Oklahoma once considered quitting football to pursue full time competitive gaming.

Haha!

He claims he can beat anyone at the university of Oklahoma at Halo 3!

Haha.

I would like to challenge him.

14 out of the worlds largest stadiums are American football ones!

They are ginormous!

Oh yeah and somewhere I read that the American flags in those stadiums are like over 1,000 pounds and cost $50,000 to make.

That's nuts!

I know right?

50,000 dollars can buy you a luxury car!

Why would they spend that on a flag?

I don't know, but it drives me nuts thinking about all that I could do with that money!

Same.

Furthermore, a high school football stadium in Allen, Texas costed more than 60 million dollars!

I think that that is more than the budge of our entire school district for the next decade combined!

Yeah imagine how many cars you could buy with that!

Heh.

So, the Junipero Serra high school JV football team recorded a historically bad season, when they failed to win a game or even score a touchdown yet they never attempted to start their backup QB, who happened to be Tom Brady!

4 time superbowl champion!

Crazy!

I know, crazy right?

The highest paid across all of the US departments of defense employees are three football coaches.

Wow football coaches that are US department of defense employees!

Weird!

So, I'm thinking that they get paid quite well!

The highest score ever, in a football game occurred in 1916 when Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222-0.

How is that even possible!

Crazy big loss!

Imagine losing that badly.

Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL.

Interesting!

I could be wrong, but I thought I'd recalled hearing somewhere that left handed people are more likely to play sports or something like that.

I'd be interested to look at those stats again.

That's an interesting topic to me.

I'm right-handed.

What about you?

I am also right handed, although most people are right handed.

Personally I find being left handed would be a disadvantage as most mouses are for only right handed people

Oh that would be a pain to deal with.

Also those people that can use both hands!

I wonder if some can use them both equally as good!

That's very interesting!

And what if any difference is there between those people versus just right or left handed people.

Are they average or are they twice as good at everything?

Haha.

It's been fun talking with you!

Thanks for the great conversation!

Agreed.

Thank you for your time and have a nice night!


Alex Smith to the Redskins!

If only I knew the significance of that, are you able to enlighten me.

Haha!

He was a long time QB for the Chiefs, but they did not want to pay him.

He wound up being traded to the Redskins and signing a $94 million extension!

I think I'd be reluctant to pay him at that rate.

I hope the Redskins get their money's worth.

They did not!

In fact, the young kid that took over at QB for Kansas City won the NFL MVP this year!

That's awesome.

He was probably somewhat cheaper too.

How did the Redskin end up doing this year?

Much cheaper!

They were doing decent but then Alex Smith got hurt and his backup did too.

They wound up missing the playoffs.

You'd think I'd know, I spent ten years in DC.

Live in North East Ohio now, I understand this Mayfield guy is promising.

Yea, the Browns fan seem to love him!

Mahomes, the KC rookie, is African American.

Hopefully he can win a Super Bowl because only two have ever done it.

From my little understanding the Browns would be happy not to have a losing season.

Are there theories why that stat you say is true?

I just don't think a lot of African Americans played QB until somewhat recently.

A lot of oddities with QBs, Kellen Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the entire NFL!

Interesting, I know in many sports it can be an advantage to be left handed.

When we think of quarterbacks often there is an image of them as always white, unfortunately.

I agree.

Such a significant position in the game.

They touch the ball basically every play.

That much I do know.

Believe me, I've tried to get into football, but with an average game seeming to take three hours I just don't have the time.

It does take forever.

It is crazy how popular it is, especially at the college level.

14 of the world's 25 largest stadiums are college team stadiums!

And what, they play about ten home game, amazing.

I did see a game at Indiana State once, that stadium seemed pretty big to me.

Big and expensive!

The Army, Navy, and Air Force football coaches are the highest paid department of defense employees!

Isn't that kind of the same for the colleges, no one makes more money than the football coach?

Still not in the same league as Alex Smith and his extension.

Yes, the coaches are always among the highest paid people in the state.

It has come a long way from the first NFL playoff game being played on a 80 year dirt field in a hockey stadium.

Yes, the the times when bowlers made more than football players.

There must be some very envious bowlers out there now.

That is hard to even comprehend!

Now you have high school stadiums that seat 18,000 and cost 60 million to build!

I wonder how many people came to Cumberland's next game in 1916, after they lost 222-0.

Not sure I'd want to go back.

Haha, it would take a diehard!
It was great chatting with you today!

You too


Do you like Baker Mayfield?
I think his a great QB

I went to Oklahoma University and have listened to or watched every game since I was ten years old.

He is a spectacular QB to watch and I was glad he was drafted number one last year.

He is right, he was first in the top 10 NFL draft so thats something

Yes.

Cleveland picked him number one.

They have some other good young players, so they could get pretty good pretty quickly.

He was the Heisman tropjy winner, his pick was unprecedented, The Browns kept it as a secret choice.

He came in in game 3 when Cleveland was behind and won the game.

He was the starter after that.

I live in Phoenix, and Arizona picked Josh Rosen at number 10.

The offensive line was so awful that he lost confidence and the season went on.

The selection provided Mayfield with bid goals, he won the trophy and then he had a monumental task ahead of him, I heard he had a bad start

He was great when he came in on that first game, but had a few shaky games and then finished strong.

He cried when the Browns owner called to tell him that he would be the number one pick.

I bet that was a special  moment in his life, QB have a tough luck in the team though, the team is considered or was considered a QB graveyard,

It sure is.

Since 1999 they have only had one QB who started every game of a single season.

Tough luck, if the QB doesnt have regularity then the rest of the team is going to suffer, to think Baker Mayfiled almost quti football to become pro gamer

True.

He might have made $1 million playing Halo, but made $50 million by signing that pro contract.

$1 million wow, thats a lot of moeny for video games, but yeah, sounds like he made the right decision in the end, $50 million is a lot more

You know that Alex Smith took so many AP tests that he was a junior the first time he stepped on his college campus.

Sounds like he is a really smart QB, I didnt know that, I bet few players did something similar

I would agree.

That is a lot of advanced placement.

He was studying for his master's degree by the time he turned pro.

So he also has a masters degree, thats impressive, maybe even a PHD?

I doubt the PhD.

Since there are 32 NFL teams, 31 are disappointed every year

31 disappointed and the Patriors is usually the happy 32 team, they win all the time Brady is one of the big reasons

That is true.

He has now won 6 Super Bowls.

Those NFL games only have 11 minutes of game action.

Only 11 minutes?
that seems unfair,


Hi, how are you?

I have chatted much in recent days about football.

You?

Hello there, I like football, but have been watching basketball lately.

Did you watch the superbowl this year?

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

Yeah it sure was, the first 3 quarters there was no much offense or scoring at all.

Not very exciting, not like the year before I will say.

The year before had a big comeback, right?

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

the eagles had not won the sb before, right?

that was their first, i think

Yeah good call, it was their first.

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

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

I think he does yeah, he will go down as one of the greatest.

I was hoping the KC Chiefs would have won it, with their young star QB.

I wonder what is going to happen next year.

the NFL needs to deal with the problem of concussions and injury.

They sure do, I hope all of the tracking technology can be used to improve player safety.

Did you see the movie Concussion, with Will Smith?

I did not.

does he play a doctor or something?

there was a nigerian guy doing research on CTE, right?

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

Yeah, there is too much money to be made.

Player injuries get in the way of that.

Yeah they sure do.

Did you know that there is no rule regarding female players in the league?

i heard that.

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

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

yeah, there is no high school or college ball for girls.

they cant prepare for the pros.

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

I would like to see more women in sports.

athletics is important for many reasons.

Anyway, great chat!

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


Hi!

Do you follow the Rams at all?

I'm glad Sean McVay became the top candidate for coach of the year.

He deserves it after what he's done in his first season with the Rams!

Can't say that I follow the Rams no.

I do think that Sean did a great job though.

I could definitely see him winning that award.

His team is the number 3 seed in the NFC playoff field now.

So that's definitely good

So very true.

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

Well let me ask you this, do you like football at?

Personally I only watch it a little bit, but my favorite quarterback is Tom Brady, who's your favorite quarterback?

I do and I'm in agreement with you.

Tom Brady is definitely my favorite quarterback or "QB".

Can you believe his JV high team refused to start him when he was a back up while the team never won or scored a touchdown?

That is unbelievable!

Wow that's insane!

I wonder why they did it that way haha.

Another thing I didn't know is that a deaf quarterback created the Huddle.

He used it so that the other team could not see his hands signing

That makes so much sense and I'm sure coaches and players over the years appreciate him for that!

Even left handed quarterbacks like Kellan Moore, who just so happens to be the only left handed QB in the NFL today!

That is shocking!

Do you think it gives him an advantage or a disadvantage?

Have you heard about Baker Mayfield as well?

He was almost a professional gamer but switched over to playing for the NFL

I'm sure it probably gives him an advantage since it's "different".

But I didn't know that about Baker.

That was a wise choice, I'm sure in terms of pay.

Even though engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of NFL and MLB players, but I would guess NFL players make more than pro gamers.

Ha!

Haha I think you're right!

A lot of these quarterbacks are really talented though.

Did you hear about Alex Smith?

He got his four-year degree in only 2 years and was working on his master's before joining the NFL

Wow!

He must be a genius.

People like him have the brains/talent while people like Benjarvus Green-Ellis have such unique talent like never fumbling the football in their entire pro career!

That is an incredible feat!

another incredible feet would be if a female player joined the NFL.

Apparently there is no rule that does not allow for that

That us true.

Makes you wonder why one had never been drafted or picked up by a team.

The NFL gameplay is only an average 11 minutes, so you'd think they would at least sign a female to be a kicker or something!

Haha yeah right!

I could see a female kicker.

did you hear about the tracking chips that they put in players shoulder pads though?

Hopefully they take those off so they can't be tracked when they're not playing haha

Oh, no kidding!

No telling what those players do after a game!

Ha!

Then again, they could track Saints players to see if cheerleaders are dining in the same restaurant as them, which is forbidden.

Can you believe that?

I can't believe that.

In this day and age that seems completely unnecess on a separate note, did you ever bowl by chance?

I guess top bullying players earn more than top football players back in the 1960s

Are you serious?

Bowling must have been major back in those days.

But I still don't think it's as unbelievable as Georgia Tech beating Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916, which to this day is the record for the highest score in footfall.

That is an amazing record!

I wish that we had a video of that game because I would have liked to have seen that.

Imagine how bad you would feel if you were a Cumberland fan that day haha., I wonder if they had a left-handed quarterback like Kellen Moore maybe that was their secret haha

Ha!

No kidding.

It would be interesting to see!

Almost like the University of Iowa's visiting team locker room beinf painted completely pink.

I bet that's a sight to behold!

Ha!

Haha that would be a crazy thing to see!

I always wonder if that would make me play better or worse though!

What do you think?

It's tough to say.

I suppose it could be motivational or depressing!

But let's be honest: it isn't as innovative as ESPN creating the yellow first down line!

Ha!

They totally deserved an Emmy for that.

Well it was great chatting with you tonight!


Good morning, are you a football fan?

good morning!

I sure am!

never miss my teams game during the regular season.

how about you?

I am a big fan as well.

I root for the Eagles, who is your favorite team?

uh oh, we may have some trouble!

Im a Patriots fan over here haha.

although i dont hate the Eagles at all, i think theyre a good team too

I guess as a Patriots fan you're probably use to everyone hating your team.

I can admit it's purely out of jealousy though so you have that going for you.

yea thats it true, i guess thats a good thing.

you guys beat us last year though in the Super Bowl

That was really exciting for us last year.

It felt good to beat one of the best teams out there.

It was a nice bit of revenge from our previous match up.

This year's Super Bowl was a lot more boring.

i agree with that 100%, what a snore fest!

at least both teams showed up finally in the 4th quarter

How much longer do you think the Patriots Dynasty has?

They haven't really planned for the end of Brady's career yet/

i think either this year or next year will be his last.

and who knows, with those issues with Robert Kraft there might be some ownership shakeup which could lead to some new thoughts on the coaching staff

I don't think Kraft is really looking at anything besides a fine and suspension.

His public image definitely took a big hit, but a few other owners have been involved in some shady business and still own their teams.

thats true.

its just such a silly thing he did.

so many questions!

ah well.

did you know the highest scoring game was 222-0, i wonder what how the other team felt after that one

The defense had to be exhausted!

The offense was probably ready for another game.

haha I wonder if the offense ever even hit the field!

With that score I have to believe there was some defensive touchdowns by the other team.

If not they were on the field for 3 plays at a time.

thats crazy.

why do you think University of Iowa paints the visiting footballs teams locker room pink?

If they think that's going to throw the other team off their game, they are probably mistaken.

they might think it has some sort of psychological effect, but im not sure it works

I don't think Iowa has any National Championships so I'm going to chalk it up as a failure.

haha i agree, they should reevalute their strategy

It was fun chatting football with you, hopefully we get the third match up in the Super Bowl so we can break the tie between the Eagles and Patriots!

lets hope!
itll be an interesting game


Good morning!
Do you like and/or watch football?

Good morning.
I love football.
What about you?

Same here.

I think that the 17 week regular season is just too short.

I think so too.

Wish they would make it longer.

Did you know Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB in the NFL?

No I didn't!

That is really surprising!

I know they used to have a deaf quarterback which was also surprising to me.

I heard that's how the circular huddle came about so they other team couldn't see the play calling.

I've heard that too.

You know, I had always thought the huddle was just part of the game so the team could call the play.

I thought so too.

Baker Mayfield once thought about quitting football to pursue a career in professional gaming.

Baker Mayfield has so much confidence he can probably do anything and be good at it!

I mean, he has made the claim that he can beat anyone at his school at one on one halo 3.

I agree.

Alex Smith took so many AP tests in high school that he was automatically a junior when he started college.

He must be really smart and high achieving!

So does that mean he was only in college for two years before being drafted?

I think so, but not too sure on that.

I guess he was younger than other draftees.

Yet he is still just as good as the rest.

What do you think about women becoming players?

I could see them being a kicker, but that's about it.

What about you?

I don't know.

I know that by rule they have to meet the nfl's eligibility requirements.

I guess if they can do that then I can see them being players.

I just don't know if any teams would take them.

I agree.

Did you know the average NFL game is only 11 minutes of live gameplay?

No, it seems like so much longer.

I guess that means that most of the three hours is just commercials then?

Commercials and play calling.

That could explain why the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are more than a player's.

I think so too.

NFL player careers are usually short lived.

Yeah they are.

Have you heard about the saint's rules for cheerleaders?


Have you seen Lamar jackson play this season?

He did good against Cincinnati.

Seems like they have too much money invested i first round draft picks to NOT start them these days.

Flacco has a large contract as well.
26.5 million.

That could give the Ravens a reason to trade him, give them some space in the salary cap.

Yeah there aren't many Super Bowl MVP winning qb's available for needy teams either

If Jackson keeps running he may not have that long in the league.

Maybe they should hold on to Flacco another season.

True his teammate was also a heisman winning running qb.

Insurance is always good to have

Did you hear about Ozzie Newsome stepping aside?

I have, He has been a pretty good GM in his time.

He helped build 2 super bowl winning teams

The new GM will probably want to capitalize on Jackson's talent.

He's taking over a pretty talented time.

As long as everything stays stable.

Coach Harbaugh might be gone though

Yeah, he could go to another of the 32 teams I suppose.

The super bowl is coming this weekend.
Its played on the 1st sunday of febuary

I usually watch for the commercials.

The average game has only 11 minutes of gameplay.

That's a lot of commercials.

It is!

Think how many commercials would have aired in 1916 when Georgia tech beat cumberland 222-0

I guess there wasn't a mercy rule then either.

I wonder what they would have thought of our televised version of the game.

Like the superimposed yellow line, that's some interesting technology ESPN introduced.

They won an emmy for that!

I guess they give those out to anyone these days.

Technology is pervasive.

Baker Mayfield almost quit football to be a competitive gamer.

Probably less hamstring injuries there.

A heisman winning.
Halo player.
I wonder how good he really was

As good as Patriots back Green-Ellis who never fumbled once?

Lets not go that far


Did you see any of the Super Bowl last Sunday?

It capped off an interesting NFL season.

I did watch that, I liked it, what is shocking is that the avg.

nfl game only has 11 minutes of actual game playing, that seems low

That would explain why I get bored watching sometimes.

It also explains why the announcers try to be such personalities, I suppose.

yup I agree, I watched the super bowl but I don't follow sports, I do thy're kind of boring, what would be progressive is allowing female players in the nfl

Allowing female players would be good.

There have been a few in college, so maybe someday one or more will make the transition.

The NFL has no rule against them, but doesn't have the best track record for dealing with women, especially cheerleaders.

right that is true, I saw a saints cheerleader has to leave a restaurant if an nfl player is present, that seems very silly to me

Reading that made me shake my head.

It is 2019 after all.

Things sure have changed since the early days when NFL players made less money than professional bowlers.

ya they definitely have, also surprisng is that over their lifetime, a nfl player will make less than an engineer, on average

More money, less pounding on the body.

Engineering sounds like the way to go!

Although, Tom Brady has made a a pretty good career for himself, even though it may not have started so well.

ya you're right, I read that his wife actually makes more than he does

That was a bit odd, you're right.

Brady seems to be a lightning rod for a lot of things.

His success has created a lot of haters.

Six rings is pretty amazing no matter who you are.

yup I agree he deserves respect, if I were him I'd alwyas give the ball to Green-ellis though, that guy has never fumbled the ball

That is an amazing stat.

And you're right.

Every quarterback needs a running back he can depend on.

ya definitely, do you watch football on tv or in person?

I guess ESPN won an emmy for making the yellow line to create the first down on tv

I have never been to a live game, how about you?

I watch sporadically here at home.

ESPN has indeed done some innovative things, for sure, but sometimes their announcers are hard to listen to for very long.

ya I don't even have cable but if I do watch sports it is on tv, did you hear how the university of Iowa painted teh opposing teams locker room?

That would make me play a lot harder haha

Yeah, that is an interesting bit of gamesmanship.

I can't imagine sitting in there very long.

It would drive me crazy.

Anything for a mental edge, I suppose.

ya I suppose, have you ever heard of the highest scoring football game of all time?

It was 222-0 haha

How does that happen??

I can't even imagine what that was like to watch.

How bad did the losing team have to be?

haha nope I don't like any sports so no worries?

and ya the teams were georgia tech and cumberland, cumberland must have been devestated afterwards haha

Devastated, embarrassed, disheartened.

I wonder if they even have football anymore.

Maybe competitive gaming might be more their specialty.

Apparently some people actually make a living doing that.

Ive heard of that, I think Baker Mayfield was almost a competitive gamer right?

smart that he chose football instead haha


Do you have a favorite quarterback in the NFL?

I don't watch football much, but I do like Tom Brady and a few others.

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

Kellan Moore is also really cool because he's the only lefty.

I always hear his name and have to think a minute.

I get this football player mixed up with Kellyanne Conway of all people.

Is he really the only lefty in the league?

I thought there were at least a couple more, do you know who invented the circular huddle?

No, I'm not sure who did.

I always enjoy watching the huddles in the football games on TV.

I like to imagine ad lib what they're saying and thinking.

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

Wow, that's really smart of him.

It's amazing how it caught on and is still used today in football games even in the NFL.

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

That sounds reasonable.

I've heard of that happening with people who lose one sense.

Did you know that Tom Brady started out as kind of a failure at football?

He was only a backup to begin with.

He was?

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

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

Sad football season for him.

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

Yes, I bet the coach was embarrassed after that!

lol Quarterbacks seem to be in the news a lot.

I never hear of the field goal kickers or something, do you?

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

That's amazing!

I wonder how much that increased their income?

Do you like soccer aka football, too?

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

I used to play football soccer a lot when I was a kid.

I was pretty good at it and always seemed to lose balls over fences, though.

lol

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

what about Gaelic football?

I do like Rugby but it's hard to catch a match on TV without cable.

I think I've watched a match or two on YouTube.

I definitely watch NFL highlights on YouTube a lot also.

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

It's hard to believe football season for NFL is only September through December.

I wish we could have it year round.

I guess the football players need some time to rest and practice, too, though.


How's it going, do you like football?

A lot of people are speculating Bill Belichick is going to leave the Patriots soon.

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

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

Aw, that's not good.

Speaking of football, did you know Iowa states locker room is painted pink?

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

Yeah, seems like they're messing with them.

I think pink is supposed to be a calming color.

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

If not then they must have played a good game!

Did you know that in the 1960s the top bowlers made twice as much as football players?

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

That's pretty interesting.

The NFL allows women if they meet the requirements.

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

Definitely seems possible.

In an average NFL game there is only 11 minutes of live game play!

I never would have guessed that!

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

Absolutely!

And how much work goes into so little actual game play time.

The NFL also tracks players movements through chips in their shoulder pads.

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

That's interesting.

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

Ouch.

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

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

That's weird.

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

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

Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Hi, how are you?

Hello im great, do you like football?

I do like football.
Do you?

I like it as well, what do you think about the Titans and the week 14 of the season

I like the Titans and have no clue what happened in week 14.

I wonder what happened...

I think they have a good team and they ended up winning 30 - 9 against Jacksonville.

So they were a good bet!

Then again a lot of teams had success against Jacksonville this year.

Bortles really held them back this year.

They had a good D...

Yeah Jacksonville didnt have a good team, so what is your favorite team?

Im a bears fan.

We did well but not well enough for my liking.

I am a Patriots fan, and hopefully next year you can make it to the Superbowl, its hard to make it there when there are 16 good teams for each division

Yeah.

I am assuming you will be watching on Sunday???

I will sure watch the game, I have a whole party set up lol, friends are coming so its going to be a nice game to watch, even if we lose

That'll be fun.
What's on the menu?

Chicken wings, burgers and beer, lots of beer lol, what are you doing for the game?

do you have something special set up?

I will watch it at my house.

My wife is not a huge fan but she watches this game with me.

I will do jalapeno cornbread and jambalaya.

Can't wait!

Im counting the hours for sure lol I wonder how the chips the players have work or where that info goes to

I know my chips will be going into my belly...

They don't have a rule against women playing.

It would be interesting to watch a woman play on Sunday, It would be a bold decision from the coach though

I am not sure the American public has the stomach to watch that.

Those guys are pretty big!

They are I guess thats why theres not a written rule yet, aterall its a game of strength.

Good luck on Sunday.
Nice chatting with you.


Hi, do you follow football?

The University of Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely painted pink!

Hi, Yes I do.

I wonder if that actually effects the visiting team or if they think it is funny.

I guess they thought it was worth a shot.

Kind of feminine, but some women play pretty tough.

I am surprised that in the 60s, top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

It was a golden age of bowling, never to return.

I guess they were the stars of the media at the time.

It may return!
Crazier things have happened.

There's probably a better chance that women will play in the NFL, which  has no written rule against female players

I wonder who will be the first woman player.

I will give her a lot of credit!

Probably a kicker, maybe a punter.

Women can be refs, probably cooaches too.

They deserve to be!

Very true.

They would get treated better than cheerleaders I hope.

Agreed.

I can not believe that the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

It seems so short but there are so many injuries.

New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player.

That is crazy!

I am surprised that is allowed to be passed.

They would be better off becoming engineers.

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

I guess that is because they have longer careers.

Very true.

Fewer concussions.

That is the way to go.

They could design chips that track players.

It would be cool to record a players every move on the field.

True.
Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you!
Have a good day!

You too!

Thanks!

Bye


Hello!

Are you watching the super bowl tonight?

I wish Baker Mayfield were playing in the game.

Yeah, he sounds like a decent player.

I don't know much about him overall, all though he seems like he's an excellent player.

0-16 is impressive!

He won the Heisman trophy in college, and was selected high in the draft.

That's amazing.

I know most people didn't think he was an obvious choice, but apparently Cleveland knew what they were doing.

Many thought Sam Darnold or Josh Allen were better choices.

Why are QBs so important?

I mean I get that they lead, but there's so many other positions on a team, why are they so important?

The quarterback touches the football on almost every offensive play.

Yeah, but still.

For a game that averages only 11 minutes of live gameplay, you'd think other positions would get a chance to be in the spot light.

It seems like teams live and die by their QB...

Perhaps, but the forward pass will remain essential.

No, I get it.

It's the beginning of the play.

I wonder why rugby didn't take off over here come to think of it...

I think it is because football is brave enough to do things like the pink locker room in Iowa.

The pink locker room?

Is that a breast cancer awareness thing?

No, I think is was related to the fact ESPN won an emmy for the yellow line.

I may be wrong though.

Huh, I never heard of it.

My NFL and college team were both horrible this year and I don't have cable, so I gave up on going out to watch the game in October or so.

The disappointment wasn't worth the money.

Perhaps you can try following soccer or Gaelic football.

I've thought about it.

I think rugby would be more my style, even though I'd probably like hockey more.

Although I've got to say...I'd root for any team that has a woman join.

Do you think such a thing is even legal within the rules of the game?

As long as they meet the requirements for the league, why not?

I don't know, but since engineers make more than atheletes over a lifetime, perhaps they are the wiser ones.

Both are a lot of work.

Yes.

Designing the chips in shoulder pads and playing with them are both difficult!

Certainly!
One's way safer though.


Hello, do you like football?

Hello!
I do!
How about you?

I watch it sometimes, not a lot though.

Did you know the NFL uses tracking chips on the players and football?

I didn't know that!

Is it to track movements and every move on the field?

Yeah stats,  location, spin, speed stuff like that

Oh cool!

Can you believe there is a rocket scientist that is a coach in the NFL now?

Thats pretty interesting.

Football is crazy around here though.

14 of the world's 25 largest stadiums belong to american college football teams.

Thats believeable,  college football is so serious,  just like the Nfl it generates a ton of money.

It even goes down to the high school level where a Texas high school spent 60 million dollars on their stadium.

I bet they don't even pay their teachers well either.

Wow,  well Texas is a big football state,  they are obsessed,  but i guess theres nothing to do out there.

Haha you're right!

Did you know there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL?

I did read that recently,  fun fact!

The average football game is only 11 min !

And we sit there for 3 hours watching the whole game too just for those 11 minutes lol.

I know right,  thats excessive.

Too many time outs,  huddles and fouls lol

We continue to love it though.

Maybe it's because of the unknown during the game.

In the 60's top bowlers made almost 2 times more than football players.

Look at them now haha.

I would have chosen bowling over football any day back then lol.

Hell yeah,  less injuries lol Bowling is pretty fun.

Oh for sure.

I didn't know how much those big flags they waive across the field cost!

Right,  that is ridiculous that they cost 50k

Hopefully the money goes to a great cause!

Anyways, I had a great chat with you, Have a good night!


hi how are you?
do you like football?

No I do not like football.

I also do not like TLA.

Three Letter Acronyms will be the death of modern society.

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

Would Matt Patrricia know what CYB is?

He was a rocket scientist before becoming a coach.

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

Right.

cover your behind.

very well.

Is it important to people that like football to like the announcers.

Brett Favre would be as good as any talking head.

I guess.

does he have the personality to fill the booth though?

he might need to have a few, just like Madden.

Interesting.

Have a few.

It helps when watching a game to have a few.

I could provide some play by play narrative on the picking of a new ESPN play analyst.

Well, Madden is known to drink while doing play by play.

He is a colorful guy, but really needs to restrain himself.

Peyton Manning turned down ESPN and Fox Sports to be the face of the telecast.

Perhaps Madden, after having a few gets a little handsy?

LOL.

Yeah, John, boy, he gets lonely up in that booth.

The man is a legend but he is past his prime.

Time for a change up there.

Do you find the idea of Play by Play on searching for a play analyst for football kind of odd.

Entertainment has be come entertainment.

or something.

Yeah, every thing is so meta these days, that meta itself is getting old.

We need like mega-meta or something.

Meta-meta.

I like it.

I was worried you would pull a TLA out.

Michael Stahan seems to have launched a successful broadcasting career.

Skipped the booth and right to morning TV.

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

New York Giants defensive end.

15 year career in the NFL.

Gap between his front teeth.

I wonder if he will use his new found celebrity to push the NFL to study concussions.

I hope so.

that is terrible problem at all levels of the sport.

CTE should be looked into and people should know the risks of the sport.

The NFL is in a unique position to study the problem.

They have data, tracking chips in shoulder pads.

They have plenty of test subjects.

If only they could avoid being found liable for injury.

Yes, i guess.

once they know, then they all liable.

still, if they dont try, people will suspect the worst.

Anyway, great chat!

Right on.

track the ball velocity, speed and rotation and never learn a thing.

good job NFL.

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

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


The national football league is the one of the major sports league in North america.

It consist of 32 team.

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

The NFL season starts from September to late December.

The NFL is started in 1920 as APFA, re-naming itself in 1922 as NFL.

I didnt know that.

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

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

Im not sure many women would want to play, they dont even treat cheerleaders well.

I cant imagine who they would treat a female player.

Women they want to work hard to fit in the game.

NFL uses tracking chips in the players shoulder pads to records move in the field.

This shows their aggression to win the trophy.

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

They are earn more revenue than other players.

so only they want to lift the trophy.

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

Which is your favourite team?

My family is from Miami, so I grew up a Dolphins fan.

No trophies for me.

Lol

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

The QB is definitely an important part of the game.

One of the most notable in recent times, Tom Brady didnt even get a chance to play on his JV team!

Alex smith is important player all time.

He work hard to win each and every game.

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

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

Yes, they do.

did you know how the circular huddle came about?

The university of Iowas locker room for visiting football is always painted with pink.

Do you know ?

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

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

Isnt that what they call soccer in the US?

Its is Soccer in US.

Some countries called by in the name of football.

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


Hello.

Hey, are you into football?

Oh yea, you?

Yes.

Did you hear Chase Routllier is starting center with the Redskins?

No, I didn't.

The Washington Redskins selected the Wyoming product with a sixth-round pick in the 2017 draft

Nice.

I enjoy watching Chase Roullier.

He takes very good angles, and good technique.

He's a rookie, but he seems to be excelling in his position on the team.

Yes, and he's just going to continue to get better

Yeah, he has to get comfortable with the offense with him being a center.

Did you also hear Chris Thompson, runner back, is almost back to full health?

That's great to hear.

The nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.

I definitely agree with that statement.

I know a lot of teams do not treat the cheerleaders of the football teams equally.

The New Orleans Saint's Cheerleaders are not even allowed to eat in the same restaurant as their football players.

So I bet the female players wouldn't get treated fairly.

Wow, I can't stand the Saints anyways.

Nfl uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field.

they are also located inside footballs to track: velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.

I believe that the NFL shouldn't allow technology like that, because it could make coach's nit pick player's every moves.

They need to let the players play naturally.

Thank you for talking with me today about football.

Yes, I enjoyed it as well.

Did you hear about the new helmet rule in the NFL?

No, what's that rule.

Players cannot lower their heads and make contact with opponents.

I seen it on an Eagles game I was watching.

Oh yes, that is correct.

I have heard about that one.

The highest score ever in a football game occurred in 1916 when georgia tech defeated cumberland 222-0

I think the rule is hard for players when they are used to tackling in that manner.

Wow that score is so high!

Yes, they are.
They continue to change rules.

Did you know ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow line representing the first down line for American football games?

No, I didn't.
Very interesting.
Thanks.
Can you hit done

Yes, thank you!


Hi.
Do you like football?

Well, I've learned a lot about the function of a quarterback today.

The university of iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely painted pink

What an odd color to paint a locker room!

I wonder if it helped them score better!

Maybe.

That is an incredible amount of points to score in a football game!

Unbelievable!

The other team must have been terrible!

Yes.

Former patriots rb benjarvus green-ellis has never fumbled the football in his nfl career.

That sounds like a near-perfect record.

What a talented football player.

I wonder how much he was paid as a player.

Don't know.In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars

It sounds like bowling was a much more lucrative career back then, than football was.

Hard to imagine a time when bowling paid more than football!

Yes.

Espn won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line for american football game

That's kind of funny - winning an Emmy for a yellow line that is superimposed on a tv screen.

Usually Emmys are given for best acting, or something like that.

True.

Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl

That's interesting.

I wonder if being lefthanded makes it harder or easier for other players.

A deaf player by the name of Paul D. Hubbard created the circular huddle they use now in football.

By huddling in a circle, the other team wasn't able to read his hand signals.

I remember hearing that.

There's a guy who does a commercial with one hand.

What kind of a commercial do you mean?
What does he do with his hand?

I think for a car.
He's in the NFL.

Oh, so he does sign language, or uses football signals?

They should allow women to play football in the NFL, don't you think?

No.
They can if they want to.
There's no rule to stop them.

Women can wear helmets just like the male football players.

However, it would be hard for women to block tackles from big men.

The New Orleans cheerleaders can even eat in the same restaurant as players do.

I guess that is to avoid fraternization.

I never knew that.

Plus, the cheerleaders have to watch their figures.

I'm sorry, I meant to say they CANNOT eat in the same restaurant as football players.

The cheerleaders are even required to leave the place if an NFL player arrives.

That's really strange!

lol

Yes.

A lot of companies have strange policies.

It's sort of like the Me Too movement.

I'm not sure how that is similar to the Me Too movement.

Can you explain what you mean?

The technology today is getting so precise, they even record every move the football players make when they're playing on the field.

The NFL uses tracking chips that are located in the shoulder pads, and inside the footballs, too.

I never knew that.

I think it's similar to Me Too, because everything now is sexual harassment.

I'm not saying there's no sexual harassment, but everything is too pc.

Oh, I see what you mean.

You mean they don't want the football players and cheerleaders to date or socialize to avoid any harassment issues.

Yes, but to me that is silly.

Like why would they wear such outfits?

If you find it demeaning, or however, don't take that job.

The cheerleaders are assigned to wear skimpy outfits to entice male viewers.

I'm not sure if you're connecting the outfits to the rule about not eating in the same restaurants or not.

Yes, I am.

I'm saying everything is over sensitive now.

I suppose you are right.

There has been so much publicity about harassment and it looks bad when NFL players are caught doing something like rape, or assault.

They need those chips on them all the time, not just on the field!

LOL Maybe one day we will all get chips.

These chips can read so much information!

The ones the football players wear track their speed, their rotations and even how fast the ball is going and where the ball is located on the field.

Interesting.
I have to go finish cooking my dinner.
Take care.

Nice talking to you.
Have a good dinner.

Bye


good morning to you!

Good morning, do you like watching football by chance?

I do!

I never miss a Patriots game during the season.

What about you?

I am a fan of the Patriots but I dont follow every game, you must love Brady then.

yea hes one of the best!

Interesting guy in his personal life, but he's a heck of a Quarterback

Yeah he is a legend just like Benjarvus Green Ellis do you remember him?

He's a former RB that played in the Pats.

Yea I heard he has a great claim to his name, he never fumbled the ball in his entire career!

He never did, he is another legend indeed, I think he's the only RB that can say that at least out of the good RBs in the history of the league.

I agree.

Did you hear about the highest scoring football game of all time?

No, what is the highest scoring game of all time I wonder?

It was a whopping 222-0!
Georgia Tech dominated Cumberland

That must had been painful to watch lol, 222-0 what was wrong with the losing team!

I dont know!

Its almost like they didnt even show up to the game!

I know right, or maybe they only had one player on the opposing team I have to Google that.

that would be a funny one to watch.

One man on the field against an entire opposing team

That would be funny and also really unfair, no way one person could win alone, not even Brady lol.

Absolutely not haha.

Did you hear about Alex Smith?

apparently he was pretty smart and took all sorts of AP classes in high school.

He even began working on his Masters before getting drafted!

I did hear about him he is a great QB but I didnt know he had a masters I guess he takes advantage of time.

Yea and I guess he really was preparing a fallback plan in case the football career didnt pan out.

I wonder what he'll do when he retires

I bet he has plenty of choices, he does have a bachelor degree and also a masters degree so that should help him.

He does.
Speaking of degrees, I better go study!
nice chatting with you!


Do you watch football?

I do.

What do you think of the NFL using tracking chips now in the shoulder pads to record data on the players?

I guess it makes it more accurate but it's crazy how fast technology is developing.

ESPN also won an emmy for creating the superimposed yellow line.

I love that yellow line.

It makes it nice to see where they have to get to.

Yeah it helps a lot.

It's amazing how much football has evolved.

In the 60s top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

Wow.

I wonder if any females ever tried to play back then since the NFL doesn't have a rule that doesn't allow them to play.

And the circular huddle was invented for football, most likely back then, by a deaf quarterback.

Pretty neat I think I've heard that before.

I don't think he wanted the other team to steal his hand signals.

Yes you are right.

And there used to be really high scoring games in 1916.

Doubt it would happen today where Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222 to 0

Georgia Tech must have been really good back then.

Either that or Cumberland was super bad.

Haha I wish I could see the footage.
Too bad it was so long ago!

Talk about a one sided game.

Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB in the NFL.

I wonder why that is.

I wonder if there is a disadvantage.

Speaking of disadvantages, Tom Brady's high school was doing badly and they refused to start him!

Now he is a four time Super Bowl champion.

Isn't that something?

I think he was a 6th round pick too in the 2000 draft so every team passed on him before the Patriots signed him.

Crazy!

Good thing he did not give up.

But it is good to have a backup plan like Alex Smith who got his bachelor's degree before being drafted into the NFL.

That was pretty impressive.
He got his degree in only 2 years!

Yeah, that is awesome.

What do you think about quitting football to go to full time competitive gaming?

Are you talking about Baker Mayfield?
That is the craziest thing I've heard.

Yeah, he says he can beat anyone at his university one on one.

Good call on his part to stick with football.

If anything he should have thought about being an engineer since they make more over a lifetime than an average NFL player.

Yeah, maybe you are right!


Hello, are you a football fan?

I do watch the occasional game.

I find it interesting that players are more famous than teams.

Like Eli Manning of the Giants.

I watch a game every blue moon.

Did you know the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?

Crazy!

Yes, there are a lot of rules, flags and time outs.

Its kind of like accounting.

What do you think of Kyle Lauletta replacing Manning?

I guess if Manning isn't doing the job, it's time to play the rookie.

Teams have to do what they need to get a win.

It does seem he is not doing the job.

It must be a tough choice for a coach.

The QB touches the ball almost every play.

To loose a great like Manning would be rough.

I am sure it must be but it might be time for them to move in.

Manning is 37 and I'm sure it's not as easy as it once was.

I like the way the word football means different things depending on location.

Some people would think soccer, some would think rugby.

Yeah so confusing sometimes.

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

Yikes!

That game must have been something to see, for the winning side.

Did you know that a high school stadium in Texas seats 18,000 people and cost $60 million?

Wow, I'd say that's a lot for a high school stadium.

Must be a huge school.

Wonder if they have any pink locker rooms like Univ of Iowa for their visiting football teams.

Football, its fun,games and pink locker rooms and serious as  well.

14 of the 25 largest stadiums are college teams.

I wonder if Iowa is large and pink.

Probably just trying to psych out the visitors.

Did you know that girls can actually play in the nfl?

There seems to be no written rule against it as long as they meet eligibility requirements.

That sounds like a good thing, but is it really?

Do we want to see a girl get hurt on the field?

The NFL uses chips in players pads to track movement.

Yeah that doesn't sound very appealing at all.

Would have to be a pretty tough gal for that.

Best to do the cheerleading thing probably though I feel bad for the NO Saints cheerleaders who are forbidden from eating in the same restaurants as NFL players.

Cheerleading is a sport in it self.

32 football teams each have cheerleaders.

But, they only work 17 weeks unless the team makes the playoffs.

They would definitely be busier cheering for patriots.

They made playoffs a lot.

In fact Benjarvus Green former patriot never once fumbled the ball in his nfl career.

Thats a neat thing to learn.

NFL QB Russell Wilson is also a MLB player.

The rangers traded him to the NY Yankees.

I wonder if he gets two checks.

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

I think it has to do with some players making a name and being worth a great deal.

The average engineer has no name and makes a decent amount.

Rocket Scientist Matt Patricia is a coach in the NFL.

I am sure he makes more as the coach than the rocket scientist.

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


Hey who is your favorite quarterback?

I like Tom Brady, but I can appreciate Kellen Moore, he's the only left-handed quarterback in the NFL!

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

I agree!

What do you think about Alex Smith?

Did you know he was actually a genius and almost got his master's degree?

Wow, that is impressive!

Baker mayfield almost quit football to be a gamer.

Good thing he stayed in the sport!

I agree I think he's got a better career playing football LOL.

What about the circular huddle, do you know how that started

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

Is that right?

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

I would love to see women on the field.

Did you know the University of iowa locker room has been painted pink?

I guess pink is stereotypically associated with women, so maybe that's for any female players who might join the NFL?

Haha that's a good point.

I wonder why they painted it that color by the way?

and can you believe the way that the Saints treat their cheerleaders?

Did you hear about that

It is probably a good idea to keep the cheerleaders and players apart for drama purposes.

Of the 32 teams in the league I think the saints are the only ones that do that.

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

That could be good for stats I think

I would love access to the data!

Such interesting technology.

Worth the money since engineers make more than players do.

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

Pretty crazy that so much of the gaming is not active play.

This year's superbowl was on the first Sunday of February as it always is.

Pretty boring game of 11 minutes of play.

Yep I agree it was pretty boring.

also boring is watching bowling games lol.

They used to be the highest paid athletes back in the 60s

I love bowling!

But watching it is boring.

I wonder why they aren't paid as well all of these years later.

they need to invent some new stuff to put on tv when bowling is on.

Like the yellow line that they use for football that espn invented

Who is your favorite AFC team?

I can't wait for the superbowl next year when the AFC plays the NFC.

I actually don't follow football that much.

I do like the Patriots though, are they in the AFC?

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

Yep I agree.

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


Hi there!
Do you watch football?
The NFL is made up of 32 teams.

Yeah 32 teams 2 divisions, my favorite team is in the AFC devision, so yeah, I like to watch football, what about you?

I love to watch football.

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

Never fumbled?

really?

wow, I knew the guy was good but never fumbling the ball seems like an impossible feat for a RB

Yes, pretty amazing.

Football is an interesting sport.

Did you know that the NFL has no rules against female players as long as they can meet the league's eligibility requirements?

No didnt know about that, has a woman ever played in the NFL?

I do not know.

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

I didnt know that either, I did know about the tracking chips players have in their shoulders, heard of those ones before?

No, what are they all about?

They pull stats out of the game, there are also chips on the ball that determine the speed, rotation, and other interesting facts of the football

Now that is cool!

Hard to believe that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player.

Seems like engineers do really good, they get to earn more money and without the brain damages or injuries that football creates

That's what I was thinking.

Even the top bowlers in the 1960's made 2x as much as top football stars.

I guess football is a lot more popular now, I dont see pro bowlers making much money these days

I agree.

Talking about this day and age, it's hard to believe that Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat at the same restaurants as the payers and if they are eating and a player comes in they have to go.

That is a really unfair rule, the Saints should change that, its totally rude and out of line

Yes, it's dated!

I am glad there is football though.

I love the Super Bowl.

It is usually held the first Sunday in Feb.

Im glad about that too, did you watch this years Superbowl?

I sure did, did you?

I also watched it I was rooting for the Patriots but thought it was a boring game

Well it was good talking with you.
Bye now.


Hi!
Are you into sports?

I am, I like the NFL, do you?

Yes, i enjoy some football here and there, I just wish there were somemfemale players.

But I wouldnt go againt those though players, its intimidating.

Did you know the average game is only 11 minutes long?

yes, and its insane.

sometimes I wish it was only 11 minutes.

My husband can go a little nuts, hes a big fan

There are a lot of commercials.
It is worse when you are there live.

true!

I find it interesting how the NFL can track footballs to monitor speed and rotation!

I think the players are tracked too.

Yeah, that is pretty cool.

I wonder what they do with all of that data?

Maybe that's how they see how fast players throw, so they can improve.

I heard players have their shoulder pads chipped to track their move on the field.

Yeah, I heard that too.

I'm not sure what they do with the information though.

Im not sure, but it would be interesting to find out.

but did you know that an engineer makes more in a lifetime than a football player?

I can believe that.

I think on average football players don't last that long.

At Least they live their dream.

Although football has never paid well in the 60's top bowlers made twice as much as football stars

That is pretty funny, it reminds me of the Bill Murray movie where he is a bowler.

there are alot of interesting facts surrounding football, like that super imposed yellow line we all love, the ESPN won an emmy over that!

Yeah, that line is great.

I have to be honest, I wonder if they won one for the thing that follows a hockey puck?

Lol, thats a good question.

Not sure I wonder why cheerleaders have strict rules, they cant be in the same restaurant as player, atleast the Saints have that rule

Interesting, the Redskins have similar rules here.

I know a few ex cheerleaders.

really?
How cool!
I guess not a perk of the job.

yeah, there was a player here, Chris Cooley, who got in trouble for marrying one.

Well nice chatting with you!

I figured it was to keep them focused on the prize.

Anyway, fun chatting with you too, Take care!


Brett Favre was one of the greatest QB ever do you agree.

Packers QB?

For sure.

Loved Vikings-Packers rivalry!

Heard ESPN recently turned down Favre for NFL broadcasting spot.

They lost a lot of football know-how!

What do you think?

I didnt hear about that, but I think they they are missing out on a high rating.

Agree.

They want to replace Jon Gruden on Monday Night Football.

He's back coaching the Raiders.

Peyton Manning turned down ESPN, too.

Another ratings loss?

Could be, I don't follow them much but it seems like a mistake, Peyton Manning is another hall of famer.

Right.

Favre had a 20-yr. career, a SB win, three NFL MVP awards, after all.

Who's your fav NFL team?

Mine the Patriots, the one with the biggest comeback on Superbowl history, yours?

I saw that game - against the Falcons, wasn't it?

It was against the Falcons, thought its the best game I have ever watched.

So whats your favorite team?

Have to admit that, of the 32 teams, I don't have a favorite.

Do like individual players.

Admire Tom Brady.

Did you know when he was in jv, his team lost every game & didn't even score a TD, yet his coach never put Brady, the back-up QB, into a game!

Little did that guy know...

I didnt know that, I wonder why, his coach must had been terrible, do you also like Alex Smith, his another great QB.

Yes, heard he was so smart he entered college as a junior and got bachelor's in just 2 years.

When did he join NFL?

I think it was in the year 2005 he was the first pick in the NFL draft.

Must be good, as well as smart.
What team does Smith QB now?

I have no idea, I dont really follow him anymore Baker Mayfield is another great QB, he is also a skilled gamer.

Heard the name.
College QB.
Univ.
of Oklahoma?

Yeah that the one, he considered quitting football and perusing a career in gaming

Wow.

Thought football - NFL - paid better.

But they say engineers lifetime earnings exceeds both NFL and MLB players.

Because injuries end careers?

Im guessing its because of that, engineers tend to have longer careers also so yeah, that makes sense.

Did you know the av.

NFL game has only 11 minutes of live game play?

Guess they know: have embedded chips in players' shoulder pads these days.

Do they really need to track every move w/cameras everywhere?

Only 11 minutes really?

that's not much at all and that seems a bit invasive, I guess the players get used to that eventually, anyways its been great chatting with you today.

Chip no problem for my fav.

player, RB Saquon Barkley of Giants.

Makes you want to watch football all day - great young athlete.

Catch him on 2018 NFL highlights!

Thanks for great chat!

I agree he is a great athlete and player, one of the best RB out there, thanks for the chat bye.


Hello hows it going?

Did you know The nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.

An average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay

Yeah, in some ways the NFL treats women well, but in others, it treats them really poorly.

The cheerleaders in particular.

The saints cheerleaders even have to leave a reseaurant if the players walk in after theyve been eating.

Yeah I read that too pretty sad!

This one is really interesting: Nfl uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field.

they are also located inside footballs to track: velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.

Thats pretty crazy.

I never watched much football, our school didn't have a team.

I'm more familiar with soccer, although they call that football in a lot of other countries.

Right.

The junípero serra high school jv football team recorded a historically bad season in which they failed to win a game or even score a touchdown yet they never attempted to start their backup quarterback.

that backup quarterback they refused to start is 4 time super bowl champion tom brady.

That sounds like my life.

Just imagine how much money those player make now, in 1960, top bowlers were actually getting paid more.

lol wow bowling must have been really popular back then lol

lol i guess so.

Apparently the highest score ever in a football game was Georgia tech vs cumberland, 222-0 in 1916.

Geez thats horrible.

lol Alex smith took so many ap tests in high school that he entered university as a junior.

the quarterback received his bachelor's degree in two years, and began working on a master's degree, before becoming the first overall pick in the 2005 nfl draft.

I watched a documentary not too long ago about the neurosurgeon that investigated traumatic brain injuries in NFL players, it was crazy.

wow,  thats probably sad to watch.

It was sad.

They make a ridiculous amount of money, but they can only work for a few years.

And what can they do afterwards?

Well if they saved their millions of dollars hopefully they can travel the world and relax.

Football, rugby, and soccer are all in the same family of sports.

All involving kicking a ball towards a goal.

Former partiots rb benjarvus green-ellis has never fumbled the football in his nfl career.

i read that the circular huddle was adapted by a deaf player so that the opposing team couldnt real him hand signals.

Thats pretty considerate of the nfl.

There is only one left handed quarterback in the entire NFL.

That seems odd.

lol one player considered quitting to play halo professionally.

NFL/ must not treat them THAT great.

lol right!
its been good chatting with you.


Hello Do you follow the NFL?

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

I'm a fan.

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

I'm a Browns fan myself.

My condolences.

I am a recovering Bills fans myself.

My biggest cheers are heard during the bye week.

Nice!

I'm not too far from Bills territory.

I live in extreme North East Ohio and when we go to Erie, PA to shop it turns into Bills country.

lol

Wave hello when you get near the border of NY.

I'' be wearing a parka.

You know, the NFL has no written rules against women in the NFL?

That is what keeps the Bills under the cap..

lol I've been your way quite a few times.

We always stop at that big rest stop on I90 in NY.

I always look forward to seeing the big indian statue as well.

lol

Nice!

I have a friend in Med School in Erie... Osteopathic Medicine.

That is what Cheerleaders are trained in.

Especially the ones in New Orleans that are prohibited to mingle with NFL players over dinner.

Mingling is hazardous to ones health.

Isn't that the oddest rule?

I wonder why they came up with it?

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

In BIlls country we would celebrate if there was at least one minute of "Live gameplay"  You know, the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is more than that of a NFL player?

That is why the current HR trend it to give the players the job position of "Football Engineer"

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

I'm sure that's way different now.

Bowlers are making a comeback.

They are seeing more and more concussions these days!

Soon they will be putting tracking chips in their bowling balls to plot the velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location... for those that did not watch the first time.

lol That's great!

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

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

Talk about a blowout!

Ouch.

lol  The University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room completely pink.

Wonder why they did that?

As a calming influence on the players, I am sure the visiting team is always grateful for their considerate behavior!

Like I am so thankful to ESPN for that superimposable yellow line they put on the field,.

It calms me down considerably!

lol yes me too.

Especially when the team I'm rooting for crosses that yellow line!

Gives you a burst of endorphins!

That's why I am hooked on the game.

The whole time the teams are in the huddle I'm saying, "who invented the huddle, and why are they spending so much time in there?

I need my next fix!

lol That was pretty neat that the huddle was created by a deaf QB so the other team wouldn't steal his hand signals.

It's been fun chatting with you!

Same here!

And perhaps soon we will see more than just one left-handed QB.

Until then... may all your balls bounce the right way!

Hahaha That's great!
Have a great night!


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

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

Oh nice.

Yeah cool!

It is an exciting single elimination tournament indeed.

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

Yeah agreed.

I think the NFL 17 wewk regular season should be shortened.

It's too long and lots of injuries occur.

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

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

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

Yeah I think he still has good potential though.

I have faith in him as a QB.

QB's sometimes don't do so well.

Just ask Tom Brady who didn't even start in high school on his JV team!

Wow, interesting!

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

Yeah that is a good question...not sure.

Did you know the circular huddle was invented so a deaf quarterback could give secret hand signals?

I did not know that.

Interesting.

So Russel Wilson is a quarterback who used to play for the MLB.

They still have him under contract even though he has not played in a regular season game since 2011.

He was even traded in 2018 to the Yankees from the Rangers.

Haha wow so odd.

Why doesn't he just cancel it?

Baker Mayfield was once a very good Halo 3 player and it almost took over his life lol!

I am not sure I really understand the full story.

Brad Johnson is another interestig one, only quarterback to have thrown a touchdown pass to himself.

That is a great accomplishment.

What team was that for?

Alex Smith was a very smart high school student and he was drafted first overall in 2005.

I'm not sure what team.

Speaking of high school, the football stadium in Allen, TX is extravagant.

It cost $60 million to build.

Holy cow that is expensive.

Lot of guacamole.

I wonder how big the serra high school stadium is?

That is where Tom Brady played.

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

Holy cats.

That is really something.

I wish that New Orleans Saints allowed their players to interact with players.

Such a weird rule.

Well it was so lovely talking with you today.

Seems like the NFL is filled with weird rules.

Nice talking to you today!

Bye!


Do you like football?

Yea, my favorite team is the Giants but I follow all 32 nfl teams to a degree

I'm not too into football.

Maybe because there are only about 11 minutes of live gameplay per game.

For 11 minutes of live gameplay the NFL sure has a lot of injuries

You are right!

It's amazing how much football has developed in popularity.

In the 60s, top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

Yea, football is so popular espn won an emmy for creating the yellow first down line

And there are even tracking chips in footballs and shoulder pads

I wonder what the NFL does with all the data from those embedded chips, hopefully they use it for player safety

Yeah, hope so.

There is so much competition in football to become a football player.

Maybe more people should aim to be engineers instead.

Over a lifetime their average earnings are higher.

Yea or they could study harder in school like Alex Smith did, he started college as a junior

Yeah I like that he had a backup plan.

Benjarvus Green-Ellis seems like he has always been sureof himself.

He has never fumbled the football in his nfl career.

That is pretty impressive.

I wonder if there will be any female players in the NFL since there is no rule banning them

Yeah, I have heard there is an up and coming woman kicker.

But in other ways the NFL seems sexist, like how Saints cheerleaders must leave an establishment even if they are already eating, if Saints players come in.

Yea that is a messed up rule, I wonder what would happen if the Saints had female players on their team

Yeah, hopefully this changes.

Did you know that Baker Mayfield considered quitting football to professionally play video games?

That seems kind of crazy but professional gaming can be lucrative as well.

Yea and less injuries playing Halo 3 than professional football

Right?

It's surprising that Tom Brady kept believing in himself and not giving up and going to a different profession.

When he was in high school his team refused to start him even though they had a terrible season.

Yea, I disagree with Tom Brady's JV coach's decision to not switch qbs after failing to score a touchdown all season

Yeah and now he is a four time super bowl champion.

I'd be embarrassed if I were his HS coach!


Nick Foles is a good players and the Eagles are lucky to have him

I think so too, but they under utilize him in the regular season and that puts too much on Wentz.

They should start using him more, he has had a lot of brilliant moment on the league, they should exploit that

Absolutely.

I understand that his track record when he was their starter was shaky, he has a 64% rating, but if they rotated him and Wentz he would get more chances to play and increase his skill level.

I guess he let down a lot of fans, Wentz was the second overall pick in t he 2016 draft right?

He was 2nd in that draft.

But they could still be favorites they just have to prepare Foles for Atlanta.

Seems like do you like the NFL a lot, any favorite teams?

I am a pretty big football fan in general.

I am a Pittsburgh Steeler fan.

Ben Roethlisberger has the most wins of any quarterback... in Cleveland!

I am a fan of the Patriots, Steelers have a rich history, how are they doing lately?

This season could have been better.

We were playing really well and at the top of the Division but started losing to teams we should have easily beat.

Patriots?

Have you ever been to a game?

No, never, cant afford tickets so maybe one day, seems like a bit of a scam when there are only 11 minutes of live gameplay

I know they are really expensive, but I hear it is a nice stadium.

Not big though.

No NFL stadiums are really that large which is odd.

Have you been to a steelers game before?

and yeah stadiums are really big, the cost a lot too

I have not.

I live across the state so it would be an expensive weekend.

I do go to Penn State games though.

Ironically, they have the 2nd largest stadium in the country and their tickets are far less expensive than the NFL.

I like college football, its a good thing you can get them for a good price.

It makes me happy to be able to go to games.

There is a big difference between live and watching on tv.

I also went to the school with I believe the 2nd largest high school stadium in the country, after the Allen, Texas stadium.

It is, games are more exiting, I am glad football exists, I wish I could afford to go to the Super bowl maybe one day I can and maybe the Pats will be playing that day,

Well you have had a lot of luck with them going these last few years!

I hope to go to the Super bowl someday too.

Until then I guess I will stick to college games and try to get to Pittsburgh!

Maybe they will play the Super bowl against each other and we will be on opposing sides!

if thats the case may the best team win with no hard feelings

That can't happen, they are in the same league.

The most we can see them play each other is during the regular season and in playoffs.

And yes, no hard feelings!

They are two of the best franchises in the sport!

Oh I see, well in regular season then either way I hope you have a good night, bye


Hello!

hey how are you do you like NFL quarterbacks

I do like NFL quarterbacks!

me too I like Kellan Moore have you heard of him?

I have heard of him, Is he a quarterback?

he is and he is the only left handed quarterback, I think it gives him an advantage

Oh, wow.

Definitely interesting!

I find it funny that pro bowlers used to make twice the pay as football stars!

that is funny, also weird that there are only 2 black quarterbacks that won the superbowl overall

Wow, that is interesting!
have you ever heard of Al Michaels?

I have didn't he lose a bunch of weight recently?

I am not sure, but he is well known for his on air gambling references between football teams

oh I didn't know that, well do you like Snoop Dogg at all?

I do like Snoop, didn't he write a fight song for his sons HS football team....

ya  he did, I like his music, did you know the top paid employees of the DOD are three football coaches, seems like a waste of money

Wow, I agree!

So something surprising I read is that in a football game...there's actually only 11 minutes of live play...

ya that is surprising, did you hear a football stadium in texas cost 60 mil, and that it was for a highschool?

Seriously!
that's strange!
Have you heard of Alex Smith?

I think so, hes like a genius right?

kinda like the guy who created the NFL's tracking chips

Yeah, he is smart and was the 1st overall pick in the 05 NFL draft.....good thing he took the football path!

ya I agree!

but ya the tracking chips can track the speed and rotation of the ball, kind of crazy!

I bet they get some cool stats

I bet they do too!

Great invention!

Too bad they didn't have that technology back in 1916 when that football game was played where Georgia tech defeated Cumberland 222 to 0!

haha that could have turned the tide!

we've come a long way since then though, but still a huge american flag costs $50,000 now that is insane


Hi, do you like football?

I don't not like football...I go to college games and I'll watch it when my husband is watching.

Do you like football?

That's good.

Yes, I love football.

Did you know Iowa painted their opposing team locker room pink?

I have heard that...it's funny!

I guess it was a power play for them?

Do you know that the highest scoring game ever was 222-0?

Wow, that's a very high scoring game.

Do you know what teams were in that game?

Yeah, it was Georgia Tech to Cumberland, back in 1916.

That was probably the most boring game to ever watch!

That would have been terrible to be on Cumberland's team.

How depressing.

Depressing and embarrassing!

For sure.

The 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as the top football stars.

Wow, that's something!

I wonder what those stats are now...football stars probably make 5x what top bowlers make!

I wonder as well.

Green-Ellis who is a running back never fumbled his entire NFL career.

With stats like that I hope he was the highest payed running back!

Did you realize Emmy's could be given to sports channels?

Wow I had no idea.
Which sports channel received an Emmy?

ESPN won an Emmy for superimposing the yellow first down line onto the games!

Very cool.
Do you watch ESPN?

I don't, we only have streaming services.

Do you watch ESPN?

I don't watch it too often.
Do you like the NFL?

I don't have a favorite team, but my husband likes the Cowboys.

Did you know that women could play in the NFL?

They'd have to meet the league's eligibility requirements...but they could do it!

I bet they could do it too.

I could see them being a kicker or something like that.

Yeah, maybe!

I wonder what the league requirements are?

What I think about every time I watch an NFL game is that there is an average of only 11 minutes of actual gameplay.

I just think about all that time that they're doing other stuff...

I haven't heard of the league requirements.

I can't believe it's only 11 minutes of actual gameplay.

Well, it was really good chatting with you.

Take care!


Hi!
Are you a football fan?

I am, what about you?

Yes, I am.

What do you know about Lamar Jackson of the Ravens?

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

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

Interesting, did he set any records while in school?

He sure did.

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

Interesting.

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

Yeah,, where would we be without it!

It is almost as important to football these days as the huddle, that oh-so-familiar circling up of players around the QB to hide signal calling.

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

Where did bowlers go wrong?

Apparently the popularity of football has exceeded bowling.

I wonder if some other game will pass by football as the most popular soon?

Perhaps gaming?

Some pretty high profile college football players have considered not going pro in lieu of starting a career in gaming!

I think it just got old.

If I were a college player and could go pro, I would go pro.

You are only young once.

Yeah, but football makes you grow old more quickly than other games...

If you are on the losing end of a lopsided loss, like the historic 222-0 tarring Georgia Tech gave Cumberland, you can grow old quickly...

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

Pretty crazy, huh?

You can beak your neck a thousand times over within that time.

And the NFL will have the event recorded via tracking chips in your equipment so that they can tell how quickly the train that hit you was going...

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

Any ideas?

To monitor speed, rotation, velocity, and location.

Heck, they even monitor the location of cheerleaders in New Orleans, where they forbid them from dining in the same restaurant as any player.

I wonder where they put the chips...In the pom poms?

Interesting.

I think a lot of teams have that rule.

Did you know that there is no written rule against female players?

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

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

Yeah, but good enough to play in the National Football League is still a pretty high bar.

I hope a lady does break that glass ceiling some day, and I also hope she keeps all of her teeth!

That it is.
Nice chatting with you.


hey there, do you follow the NFL?

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

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

That is so unbelievable to me.

Apparently the NFL has had only one left handed quarterback.

do you know who it is?

is that patriots green-ellis?

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

oh ok. was it kellan moore?

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

yeah exactly there are so many players in there.

did you know nfl is using chips on the player's padding?

For what?
they are taking technology to far.

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

Just another way to spend money.

Did you know that in the 60's top bowler made more than top nfl players?

that is crazy.

good thing they make more now to make a decent living

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

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

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

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

Oh yeah that's right made things easier if you were watching from home.

220-0 was the highest scoring game in college football.

what a win and a loss for the other team too

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

What a difference.
nice chatting with you


The Raiders are having some terrible luck.

Yeah!

Do you agree that Khalil Mack is the Raiders' best player?

If you watch football, that is.

Yes I agree, I hope he stays healthy.

What happened to him?

He hurt his ankle back in November after the Raiders traded him to the bears.

I think they should of paid him what he was asking for.

Oh yeah that's right!

I think so too, his playing style and speed makes his $100 million paycheck justified.

Yes, I do not see the Raiders getting better any time soon.

Yeah, true that!

I had no idea that tracking chips were used by the NFL and embedded in shoulder pads to record every move on the field!

Thats very interesting, I knew they wore microphones but I did not know about that.

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

That's it?!

Then why are these games taking up my entire afternoon and evenings!

Commercials I would imagine, It is a business.

Oh, yeah!

There's only one left-handed quarterback in the NFL!

I wonder if defensive plays accommodate that fact.

I am sure they have special plays for him.

Woman are allowed to play if they were to make it physically!

Oh wow!
Has any woman ever played in the NFL?

I do not believe so but I do not new orleans saints cheerleaders can not dine at the same restaurant as players!

Do you know why that is?

I do not I would imagine they do not want them interacting on a personal level.

I can't recall any cheerleaders who have ended up dating a football player on the same team.

The giant flags at football stadiums weigh over 1000 pounds!

That is heavy, I would imagine dating the cheerleaders happens a lot.

It is probably just frowned upon.

The atmosphere is susceptible to that since they travel together and are in the same environment a lot.

Yes, Great chatting with you I must run.

great chatting with you!

Have a good day.


Hi, What do you think about this NHL rule?

Do you mean the NFL rule?

Yes of course, I think that the committee of this organization is aimed at very powerful people

They do have a lot of influence, I agree.

If in reality they control the rules of the games and other people we can only observe and express their opinion

It doesn't sound like that big of a rule change to me

Soccer has hard punches, it is not a physical game nor is it for the weak of the heart.

I think this statement is very true

I don't think hard punches are allowed in soccer

Of course they do it, for you I have practiced it and it is very rude, you have played them ever

Well it should be called as a foul in soccer.

If a ref saw you doing a hard punch to an opponent, you would be sent off.

Yes, there are faults that the referee does not see clearly

I think that some people who watch NFL don't want too many changes.

If so, others will change if they want innovation.

What do you think of the University of Iowa that give uniforms to visiting teams?

I did not know about that, why do they do it?

I meant to say that they painted the uniforms of the pink opponents, that was in the decade of the 60s

I don't think that is sportsmanlike!

If I think it goes against the morale of athletes, thank God those times will change

Yes it would be humiliating.

I don't think anyone would stand for it today.

Sure.

You think of Paul Hubbard, a field marshal who was deaf

That is impressive.
Maybe heard too many guns going off?

I do not think that for that reason I suffer from that condition.

But what is important is that in the NFL allow to play this type of people

I don't think it is a problem if a player is deaf.

Thanks for sharing your comments with me

thank you also!


Are you interested about football and the NFL?

Yes I am!
Are you?

I'm not too big a fan, but I have decent knowledge around it.

Same I'm not too big of a fan, yet I'm highly interested.

Such as, how is it okay to have the name redskins?

That's terribly racist.

I thought we were "advancing as a species!"

Well of the 32 teams, its only 1 team that has a racist name.

Although that still isn't okay, I believe they will change it if asked to.

I sure hope so!

So, I heard that the only left handed quarterback in the NFL is Kellan Moore.

I wonder why there's so few left handed people in NFL.

Well, there are also no women in the NFL, even though they don't have a rule against it.

Really?

That's extremely intriguing!

I do know that the New Orleans Saints Cheerleaders are forbidden to eat in a restaurant as any NFL player.

If they are already eating and any NFL player comes in, the cheerleaders have to get up and leave!

There are lots of interesting facts that go on behind the scenes, like the fact they use tracking chips on players and the footballs.

Oh yeah!

To track velocity, rotation, speed, etc.

That's pretty smart of them!

They also tracked the players movements and stuff, maybe that's where they get all the stats from.

Oh yeah.

I'm terrible at math so I think it's a good thing they have something like that in place.

I'd imagine it would be impossible to track otherwise!

Another weird fact is that in 1960, top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

Interesting!

I can imagine that's not the case, these days!

Former Patriot's Running Back Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his entire NFL career!

I wonder how?

That sounds good when compared to the fact that people think Alex Smith can't carry the Redskins.

Yeah it's quite a record to hold for Benjarvus!

I just found out there is a such thing as Gaelic Football.

How neat!

There are a lot of different kinds of football.

Rugby, Soccer, Australian football are some of them.

Yeah, it gets a little bit confusing, considering I call soccer, soccer!

The highest score ever in a football game was in 1916, when Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222-0!

That's very interesting, sounds like Cumberland suffered a huge loss.

Anyways, it was nice talking to you!

Yeah!

Huge loss!

It was very nice talking to you as well!

Have a nice day and goodbye!

goodbye!


Hi there how are you?

Do you like the National Football League?

Hi!

I am not a huge fan, especially with the ways some of the teams treat their cheerleaders.

Like the Saints, the cheerleaders are not permitted to eat at the same restaurant as the players, and have to get up and leave if a player comes in.

I don't like that rule.

It seems very outdated and stupid personally, I think that the cheerleaders should sue

They probably have some sort of weird NDA.

I'm waiting for a woman to be drafted, maybe then things will change.

Yes I think we'll see that in our lifetime.

I think that a woman would make a good kicker or something like that

I do too, especially since so many girls play soccer.

It's so weird to think that other countries call soccer 'football".

I agree with you.

Kind of crazy, the average NFL game only has about 11 minutes of gameplay that seems really low to me

That does seem low.

Football is weird though, I still cannot believe ESPN  won an  Emmy for creating those superimposed yellow lines.

No but that is a great invention!

Also crazy that the NFL develop those tracking ships that they shoulder pads.

Have you heard about those?

I have, some of the high schools are starting to use those.

I think it's funny that the U of Iowa's visiting locker room is painted pink.

My son would get dressed in the hall.

I think that would actually make me play better personally.

Did you know back in the 1960s that football stars made about half what the top Bowlers made

That is insane.

Kinda like that highschool coach who refused to put Tom Brady in, even though they hadn't won a game all season, or made a touchdown.

I bet that coaches kicking himself right now.

I like the Patriots.

I also like the one running back was never fumble the football in his entire career

I bet he is too.

I'm thankful for the coach who wouldn't let Baker Mayfield quit, to become a pro gamer.

That's crazy too.

Haha yeah he made the right decision.
I was also really good at Halo 3 haha.
I would have liked to play him

I'm okay on that, I'm a Fallout fan.

I thought all NFL players were millionaires.

It's weird that an engineer earns more than they do.

Oh I like Fallout a lot too.

That is crazy with the pay as well.

Do you know how the football huddle was started?

Wasn't it due to a player being deaf?

Yes he was deaf.

He use the Huddle to cover up his hand sign so that the other team couldn't see it

That was smart of him.

I finally saw Colin Kaepernick's Nike ad.

It was interesting.

I have not seen that.

I wish I could have seen the highest scoring football game ever.

I guess that it was 222 to 0 haha
