Ram's become the youngest head coach.

Thats really interesting.

I wonder if that effects the next years team

Which is your favourite sports ?

I like the 49ers,  How about you?

I recently found out that the NFL uses tracking chips.

Super Bowl is my favourite.

The 2019 NFL season will be the 100th of the National football league.

Wow thats great.
I prefer baseball than football though.
What do you like about football?

Yes.

Football is the team sports that involves to kicking the ball in various degrees to score a goal.

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

Yes.

The middle century is the greatest rises for football mainly in England.

Many group of matches conduct between towns and so many clubs were formed.

That is interesting.

The left handed quarterback was named Kellan Moore.

It is very interesting.

English Public School played the important role in the development of the football.

The only organised the team and they teach the difference between Running and Carrying.

The huddle was created by a deaf quarterback.

In modern American football, the quarterback is usually considered the leader of the offensive team.

Yes,  he calls the shots basically.

Baker mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue full-time competitive gaming.

lol well professional gamers dont get injured as much,  I say go for it.

While playing injury is unavoidable.
In training only we avoid it.

Yeah thats why I suggest professional gaming,  they dont get injured lol

Yes.

It makes sense to protect  from injury it is very hard to lift the trophy.

Do you Alex smith?

he took so many ap tests in high school that he entered university as a jounior.

Yeah.
It is very nice chatting with you.
Have a great day.

Thanks you as well.


hi, do you watch football?

A bit but not regularly.

I did see the beginning of the superbowl a few weeks ago, but I only have a passing knowledge of football

I see.
do you know who reggie miller is?

Do you mean the basketball player on the hall of fame?

Otherwise, I don't know a reggie miller in football

I meant to say alex smith, not sure why I was thinking of reggie.

I don't know much but I think he was a quarterback.

Correct me if I'm wrong

yeah he is and he was so good in school he wrapped up a college degree in two years

Wow he must be brilliant or a very hard worker.

I like quarterbacks since they lead the offense.

that is true.
I think it is a bit of both.
he took many ap tests, that's why

While I don't know much about alex, I tend to follow players like kellan moore who is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl

that is amazing, amongst so many players he is the only one

I mean I know it is inherently harder if you are left handed as a QB

yeah.

and baker mayfield once considered quitting to become a competitive gamer

I also think Brady johnson is impressive as well since he has even thrown a touchdown pass to himself

that I would like to see.

do you know who created the circular huddle?

I don't know his name, but I think he was deaf right?

What is his name?

yeah he was deaf.
his name was paul hubbard

In any case, I like following players like tom brady, brady jonson, and etc

They are all great players.

did you know women can also play in the nfl

While there aren't any explicit rules against them, don't the requirements pretty much disqualify them anyway?

I am not too sure, I hope not though.
nice chat


Do you like american football?

I do!

I LOVE football!!

Hard to believe the NFL is made up of 32 teams.

It is harder to believe the average game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay

That is crazy!

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

They even put them in the football itself

Oh wow!

That is something.

It must be to track ball velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.

I hope this data will help reduce the number of injuries to players

I do too!

Did you know that the first NFL playoff game was played in 1932 on an 80 yard dirt field inside Chicago stadium, the then home to the Blackhawks.

What has happened to it now?

That I'm not sure of, but I know Chicago has changed a lot.

No doubt.
Do you like any particular position?

I would say quarterback is one I know the most about.

I know that only two african-american quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl.

I like tom brady.

He is still a stellar athlete despite being around 40

He is.

I agree.

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

Yes.

He is definitely worth respecting since it is much harder to be left handed as a QB relatively to other sports

I can't even imagine.

Superbowl winning quarterback, Brad Johnson is the only quarterback in history to throw the winning touchdown to himself!

I wonder how you would even throw the touchdown to yourself?

It had to be a recovered fumble.

Did you know that QB Russell Wilson is still under contract for major league baseball?

Really?

Yes!
He has not played since 2011.

That is why I was surprised.

I should go check it out after this chat.

Thanks for chatting.


How familiar are you with football and the nfl?

I don't follow pro football that much.

I was following the Saints (home team) when it looks like they were on track for another Super Bowl, but then got robbed of a victory.

But you do know that the nfl is among the top 4 major professional sports leagues in north america

Yes, it has a big draw, especially today when a lot of people are glued to their TVs for the Super Bowl.

What do you think of the quarterback match up: Patriots Brady (age 41) versus Rams Mannion (age 26)?

I think it is an interesting one, but personally rooting for Brady.

I like the QB position the most since they are the core of the offense.

Do you like any position in particular?

It is a battle of experience versus youth.

I am not set on any position, but it seems like in grade school football being QB was everyone's goal.

Did you know that the circular huddle was created by a deaf quarterback, Paul D. Hubbard, so the opposing team could not read his hand signals?

Yes, also kellan moor is the only left handed QB in the nfl.

I wonder if that is a advantage or disadvantage.

I don't know, but doubt it.

A left handed hitter is a plus in pro baseball, but I can't see it mattering in football.

I tend to follow collegiate' s more, my alma mater LSU.

Did you know University of Iowa painted the visitor's locker room pink?

You got to wonder if it is intimidation, disrespect, good humor, or a combination of those?

I tend to follow players more than teams like green ellis who has never fumbled in his entire nfl career

I did too, Louisiana boy Terry Bradshaw, QB for the Steelers.

He is one of the reasons the Steelers have the most Super Bowl wins of any NFL team.

If you followed the NFL playoffs, you might have noticed that the NFL has a female ref, Sarah Thomas.

Do you think they will every have female players?

Well the nfl doesn't have any written rule against female players

We will have to wait and see.

Some of the traditions in football are peculiar, if not humorous.

For example, Saints chearleaders cannot be in the same resturant with any NFL player, even if they were there first.

I agree.

However, I think there are some interesting things going on for the NFL, not just on the team level.

For instance, they are putting chips into players shoulderpads and footballs to gather data and make better plays

I would have liked to have known the G forces the Saints receiver took in that "no call pass interference" play in the playoff game with the Rams.

What do you think of the salaries.

We know what the stars make, but not the backups and the 2nd string.

I wonder how the average salary with the short career span stacks up against other jobs?

Well the average lifetime earning of an engineer is higher than that of an nfl, but you have to remember as you pointed out the hour they work respectively.

They do earn more per hour playing, but it is a short career, often 10 years or less, while a good engineer would likely get 35-40 years of service.

You brought up the chips in shoulder pads, but other techs have also changed the game, or at least how it is viewed.

Did you know ESPN won an Emmy for the TV yellow line showing the first down position?

Well the yellow line definitely helped many viewers better digest the situation and action on the field

I agree.

With the yellow line, you can really visualize how far they need to move the ball.

It also lets the armchair QBs speculate on what plays the real QBs will call.

Most of these guys are really smart.

Did you know QB Alex Smith entered college as a Junior and was working on a Masters when he entered the NFL draft?

I agree that most of these guys are brilliant.

I mean the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay, but so much goes on in those few minutes that the espn won an emmy for helping to break it down and these players have to make the smart decision in fractions of seconds

I agree, but they also have coach to QB communications in the QB's helmet these days.

What I really don't like is when the QB is a prima donna.

They need great backs and receivers.

Like Benjarvus Green-Ellis who never fumbled in his NFL career.

I agree.

In any case, I enjoy our chat about football.

Thank you

Same to you.

I guess I will go man the grill for our half time feast.

I hope you enjoy your feast.

Anything on the grill is always delicious.


did you know that theoretically females can play for the nfl?

I heard about that.

I wonder if a woman will ever play in the NFL.

I heard there is a really good kicker who is in university right now.

see that would actually seem to be the most likely position, do they have a whole female football team at that school?

I haven't heard of this?

Her name is Becca Longo.
I believe she plays on the men's team.

ah interesting, did you know the huddle was invented by a deaf quarterback a while ago?

he used it to block the other team from seeing his hand signals

Cool.

Speaking of inventions in the NFL, ESPN won an emmy for creating the superimposed yellow line.

That is crazy.

It's something we take for granted, Kellan Moore is the sole left-handed quarterback in the whole league, I wonder if that is an advantage or not.

Huh, interesting.

I'm not really that into football, perhaps that's because there are only about 11 minutes of live gameplay per game.

ya I'm the same way, I don't care at all for football, but I will watch the superbowl because my friend is having a party, what about you?

Yes, my friend is having a party too.

I'm looking forward to it.

I guess the Super Bowl is held the first Sunday in February each year.

Yes that is true, also wild how the NFL has chips that are put in players clothes to record their stats, I guess that is good.

It allows for lots of analytics, almost like a videogame

Yeah, it's crazy how seriously our culture takes football.

I guess that has evolved lately because in the 1960s top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

ya that is wild, definitely the opposite today as far as pay goes, I think its crazy that an engineer will make, on average, more than an nfl player in their lifetime

Yeah, NFL players really have to be careful about where they spend, and I don't think most of them are.

No you're right, and apparently they have to be careful where they eat, for instance with the saints, cheerleaders aren't allowed to eat at the same restaurant as any NFL player, and if an nfl player happens to come in then the cheerleader is required to leave.

Hmm, that is an odd rule.

It also strikes me as odd that the University of Iowa painted their visiting locker room pink.

That must have been before pink became trendy for men.

haha yes that is very odd, I wonder if that increased or decreased their win percentage, I could see teams getting mad and actually performing better

Haha, that is an interesting thought.

Some other numbers that I am curious about are the score from the football games in 1916 between Georgia tech and Cumberland.

Georgia Tech won, 222 to zero.

How on earth did that happen?

If only we had footage!

yes I would watch that game!

although back in the day, I think I would have left after the score hit 100-0, there's no coming back from that haha

Another thing I find amazing is that Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his NFL career.

that is crazy, think of his anxiety every time he gets the ball, will this be the day my record is ruined?

haha,


hey did you know that the NFL has no rule against having female players?

I was not aware of that.

I'm surprised because they do have some sexist policies.

Do you know about their rules regarding Saints cheerleaders?

I haven't heard about that, what are the rules?

They are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant with players.

If a player enters and they are already sitting and eating they have to get up and leave.

oh weird why do you think that is?
it seems very silly to me

I don't know but I find it upsetting.

It seems completely unreasonable.

Did you know that the average gameplay time in a game is 11 minutes?

I didn't know that, are you going to watch the Superbowl tomorrow?

It's always several hours long yet like you said theres only 11 mins of gameplay, that's silly!

I am but I'm just using it as an excuse to eat bad food ha ha.

Were you aware that players and footballs have tracking chips in them to record their every move?

no I didn't know that, I hope they don't adopt that into regular people to watch our every move, that would suck!

Me either.

I wonder why they don't use that for plays instead of just reviews?

ya that'ss true, also crazy is that the earnings of an engineer over his lifetime is more than the average NFL player, Crazy!

That is shocking to me.

I'm sure they leave with way less medical issues also.

I was shocked when I learned that in the 60's bowlers made more than football players!

that is crazy!

I can't believe the highest scoring football game was 222-0, like wouldn't you stop once you got to 100-0 haha

I do not understand how that is even possible.

Are you familiar with RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?

no I'm not, what is he famous for?
I don't watch sports personally

He never fumbled the football once in his whole career which is astonishing.

that is crazy I'd give that guy the ball all the time!

I guess Alex Smith plays quarterback and had a lot of good grades on his AP test, it's kind of like he's wasting his brain talent on football haha

Well he was badly injured and I doubt he comes back so I'm sure his intelligence will get him somewhere else.

I believe he was already working on his Master's when drafted.

ah interesting I didn't know that, also I didn't know that ESPN won an emmy for developing the yellow line that we see in every football game on the first down line

I can't believe that was so recent.

I can't imagine watching a game without that line.

no, that was definitely a huge improvement I'm glad they won the emmy!


Do you watch football?

I sure do.

Did you know that women can play on the NFL?

I heard that, I wonder if there is any chance it will happen soon, what do you think

I have no idea but it is good that if they qualify they have that option to play

I think there may be a kicker in college that has the chance in a couple years.

We will have to wait and see.

Do you have a favorite team?

I do not but I enjoy watching the games even though there are only 11 minutes of gameplay altogether

That is so small of an amount.

You figure it would be more, the games last like 3 hours lol

I know we are glued tot he TV for what feels like forever

for sure lol.

I am an Iowa Hawkeye fan, do  you know them?

I cannot say that I do for sure.

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

They paint their locker rooms pink for the opposing team.

Pink has a natural calming look.

Those engineers probably developed chips that players use in their shoulder pads.

Yeah they seem to be collecting lots of info with those chips like velocity and rotation and such

I agree, I bet they get so much good data from it.

Did you know in 1960 top bowlers made more money than nfl players

Wow that is mind blowing.

I wonder if they they can use that data in any way to make the game safer too

I bet they do.

I wish they had chips in the helmets to track blows to the head and what they do.

Maybe that will be next

I hope so.

DO you know that ESPN won an EMmy once and if so, what for?

I never heard about that, what was it for?

It was for the superimposed yellow line, pretty cool

Wow, that is awesome and it is so helpful.

I always thought it was real growing up lol.

It was so nice chatting with you!

Same here and hope you have a great one.

you too, enjoy the rest of your night!


hi, do you watch nfl?

Hi, how are you?
Sometimes.

did you know women can play too?

I think that there could be women at certain positions, like kicker.

Women would probably draw a lot of interest, increase the TV audience.

yeah and make it more interesting as a sport.

did you know an average game only has 11 minutes of playtime

On a per-minute basis, they make a great wage.

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

Kellan Moore.

I'm surprised.

I thought there would have been more, considering the number of lefty pitchers in the MLB.

Yeah exactly.

do you know about that weird rule for the new orleans cheerleaders?

They can't be in the same restaurant as the players.

Not cool.

Not cool at all.

worse, they have to leave if the player walks in mid meal

Probably not the same for high school football, though.

Funny story: The Junipero Serra high school had a season in which they didn't win a game or even score a touchdown.

Nevertheless, they never started their backup QB, Tom Brady.

And, as a sarcastic comment, we all know what a loser he was.

My godness their loss.

did you know now they put tracking chips on their padding?

That makes sense.

Helps with strategy.

The highest score ever in a football game was in 1916: Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0.

What was the spread on that game, I wonder.

That is a huge difference.
Did you know espn won an emmy?

I heard.
For that yellow line.
Hm.
Probably a weak year for awards.

Yeah I think so too.

Did you know there is a player than never fumbled the football in his career?

Hard to believe, but I guess it had to happen eventually.

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

Still, I wonder how much bowlers made overall.

Was it that much money?

I do not think so, I just think football players were not paid too much then

The college game seems to be a bit silly in some ways.

The University of Iowa tries to use cheesy psychology on the other team.

They pained the visitor's locker room completely pink.

I wonder whether that works at all.

Why wouldn't other teams do it as well?

That is curious.
do you know benjarvus green-ellis?

No, never met the guy.

He is the only football player to have never fumbled in his career

Well, it's been fun talking with you!
Have a great evening!
Enjoy the football!


Hi, how are you today?

Good morning!
Doing well!
Are you much of a NLF fan?

Friend, I tell you I feel like I have had football on the brain for the past couple of weeks!

Yes, I love football.

How about you?

Yes, I enjoy watching a good with friends and beers!

Who's your team?

Don't hate me, but my favorite team is the New England Patriots!

No hate at all - it's pretty impressive what they've done and look to continue to dominate.

By proxy, I follow the Cardinals, but don't really consider them my team - I just like good games, teams, players

That's cool.

I find most people feel towards the Patriots like they feel towards Trump.

It's usually strong feelings of hate or love, not much in between.

But, Tom Brady is the GOAT!

TB & Bilichek are definitely GOATs!

Interesting comparison to Trump - it's hard not to have an opinion!

How true.

Speaking of Tom, did you know his high school JV football coach never attempted to play him, even though the team never won a game or even scored a touchdown?

That reminds me of the story where Michael Jordan had a hard time making his HS Varsity team - some coaches cannot see greatness if it's staring them in the face!

That's a fact.
I bet they feel foolish, now?

It's amazing how far the NFL and professional sports in general have come in terms of popularity and revenue.

I've heard that pro bowlers used to make more money than football players!

That's funny, but I hear the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are more than the lifetime earnings of an average NFL player.

I think the average career in the NFL is 3 season, for the average player with a league minimum salary, so a life time career as an engineer should make more money!

Somebody's done their homework and it shows!

Anyway, do you realize the NFL only has one left handed  quarterback?

Interesting - who is the lefty QB.

Is that a system thing, are lefties discouraged from QB at an early age.

I don't see what the big deal is - baseball pitchers can be both.

Does it really matter that much in football?

Kellan Moore and to tell you the truth, I don't why there are not more of them?

I would think it's an advantage.

Right!

Anything to give a different look, roll the other way.

Once the ball is in the air, whats the difference.

I need answers from the NFL!

Me too!

Congrats on another Lombardi Trophy!

It was a strange playoff season, but great win for the Pats - great chatting with you today, really appreciate it!

Thanks, friend.
It was nice chatting with you as well.
Enjoy the rest of your day.


Hello do you like football?

I do.
Do you?

I like it,  I dont watch it too much though.

I watch all the time.

My wife is not happy about my sports adiction though.

My favorite team is the bears.

Do you have a favorite team?

I like the 49ers.

did you know the NFL puts tracking chips on the players and football?

I put chips in my belly.
Does that count?

lol absolutely!

I had no idea alex smith was so smart,  He took so many ap tests, he entered a university as a jounior.

Chicago hosted the first playoff game in 1932 on an 80 yard dirt field.

Thats cool.
That was a long time ago lol

Yeah.

Did you know there's a $60M stadium in Texas?

FOR HIGH SCHOOL?

Thats insane.

Football generates a lot of money in texas though lol not much to do.

I could not imagine being so rich I donated to the construction of a $60M HS football stadium.

Im just trying to keep my lights on.

lol the struggle is real.

I cant believe that the average nfl game has only 11 min of game play.

I feel like there are too many commercials and replays and measurements.

Yeah,  too much fluff.

and whats with all the time outs and fouls and huddles.

Football can take so much time.

Maybe that's why i usually drink too much watching the games.

lol i think thats why we all drink too much, we are waiting to watch the game lol

At least I am not the only one!

Although I am usually the only one watching football and drinking.

Did you know the average lifetime earning of an engineer is higher than football players and mlb players?

That is probably not including like sponsorship and extras though right?

Agreed.

But I also think the lower end of the spectrum's avg career is like 2 years.

Thats cool.
Its been great chatting with you.


do you like football?

I love it.

Do you know what color is the U of Iowa visitor locker room?

Yes it is actually all pink but I do not know why

Me either.

Did you know bowlers made more than footballers in the 60s?

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

True.

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

Yes it was 222-0, do you know who played?

Yes it was Georgia Tech that beat Cumberland in 1916

Yeah.

Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy once?

Yes they won it for the superimposed yellow line

Yeah it has made game watching so much easier at home

Very true.

Did you know that women can play in the NFL too?

Yes there is no rule that says they cannot if they qualify

Yeah.
The gameplay is only 11 minutes anyways

I know and yet we are glued to the tv for hours to an end

I know right?

Do you know of that rule for Saints cheerleaders?

Yes they cannot eat in the same place as the players

Yes and they also have to leave mid meal if they walk in

yeah too bad it is still around.
Do you like Brady?

I sure do.

He was a back up QB when he was in high school

Yes and he was never started despite the fact that they were not doing well as a team

Their loss really I guess.
Nice chat today


Hello!

Are you much of a football fan?

I don't watch it much TBH, but I do find a lot of facets of it to be pretty interesting..

Good afternoon!

Football is not my favorite sport, but I do enjoy a good game.

Get this, Iowa's locker room for visitors is painted PINK.

Trying to psyche out the other team, I bet.

LOL

That psychology might be a bit antiquated because I think a lot of guys don't feel the same about pink as they used to in the good old days

That could be true.

I'm told that they did an experiment where they put weight lighters in a pink colored gym and found they couldn't lift as much.

BUT, I heard about that in high school (some twenty plus years ago) so things may be different since then.

Interesting - I have heard about the subconscious affect that color has on mood (never paint a kitchen red) but I wasn't sure if that was just an urban myth?

I don't know, I think it varies and could be different from person to person.

Some people, for example find blue to be smoothing and calming, while others think it makes things feel cold.

Very true - and circling back to the pink locker room, I'm sure the initial intent was to emasculate the opponent and beat them before they take the field

You know, neatly enough, there's NO rules in the NFL against women being players.

So long as they meet the physical requirements, that is.

I've heard that, that they didn't think they needed the rule because in the old days the game was much different as were the social norms.

I know some females have played in college football recently

Hey, I say if they can do the physical stuff let them go at it if they want.

Although, admittedly if I had a daughter playing football I'd worry about her being tackled.... some of those guys are HUGE.

Totally agree - if they have the ability and the desire to play in the NFL, awesome.

But I sure as heck wouldn't want my daughters anywhere near that field!

Even if they were cheerleaders I'd be concerned.

Believe it or not, cheerleaders have more injuries than any other sport.

College cheerleaders for sure have a ton of injuries as they do way more of the flipping and gymnastics.

I've seen NFL Cheerleaders up close and they basically just stand there for 80% of the game....

Some teams have some pretty strict rules about cheerleaders, especially in terms of their interaction with the players.

I bet back in the day the distraction proved to be big enough of a problem that those non-fraternization rules were implemented.

Today, it's so much of a business that I doubt it would be much of an issue

Well, New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can't eat in the same restaurant as one of the players.

If a player enters and they're already eating, they have to leave.

How nutty is that?

I bet if the Cheerleaders had a union like the players do, they could get that rule thrown out!

Maybe I dunno...

Here's another weird tidbit... for as long as NFL games are, there's only about eleven minutes of live gameplay.

Can you believe it?

I did know that, because the NFL Network replays games during the week and they are able to trim them down to about a 30 min segment (with commercials) - it is amazing how little action there is in an "action packed" game!

Guess all the set ups, coaches talking, huddles, etc, etc, take up way more time than you'd think!

And the incessant TV timeouts!!!

After a bad game, I feel like I just wasted 3 hours of my life - and it was only really 11 min!?!?

Yeah, it's crazy.

Did you know they have high tech chips put in the players shoulder pads?

Keeps track of where they are and whatnot.

I wish they would put those chips in the ball - so they could tell when it crosses the endzone or out of bounds!

Weell.. supposedly they have one in the ball that tracks it's speed, rotation and location.

I don't know why they don't use that instead of relying on the referees.

(Guess it's just tradition or something...)

You're probably right - tradition over technology!

Hey, in case this ends abruptly - it's been great chatting with you!


Are you an NFL fan?

If you don't know, there is a 17 week regular season.

Hey!

Well, I follow games, but I wouldn't say I'm really fan.

How about you?

Did you know a female can play in the NFL because there is no official rule against it.

No, it's absolutely surprise for me

Also, in a whole NFL game, there is only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay.

Friend of mine told me that.
Yes, it's fact

That is crazy.

The New Orleans saints have a rule were there cheerleaders can't eat at the same restaurant as the players.

It looks like old tradition, which doesn't make any sense.

And if the cheerleaders are already there when the players come in, the cheerleaders have to leave.

Don't you think this rule is terrible?
What if they were eating?

That sounds sexist to me.

Some more football facts you may not know is that The University of Iowa has a completely Pink visitors locker room.

It's very funny.
They want to shock enemies.
Anyway it's funny

Something I could not believe was that the top bowlers made twice as much as top football players in 1960.

Me too actually.

Did you know that the highest score ever in a football game was 222-0 in 1916?

No, that is a lot of points.

I did know that RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis, who played for the Patriots never had a fumble.

Me too.

It's even difficult to guess.

Also I'm surprised that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than average lifetime earnings of an NFL player.

I was sure they make a lot.

I just can't believe that.

Did you know Tom Brady was a backup Quarterback in high school.

I guess my dad knows it.
He knows about Tom Brady quite a lot.

He was either bad or the coach was an idiot.

But even though his team was having a historically bad season, he never got a chance to start.

I agreed.
He didn't show his best.
Anyway it is sport.
You never know...

I also know that there is only one left handed Quarterback in the NFL.

It is Kellan Moore.

Yes, I know.

I don't know a lot of such facts, but somehow I've heard about it.

Well, have a great day.

Thanks, my friend!
Have a good one!

Happy New Year.


I didn't find this article very interesting.

How about you?

Yeah I'm not very interested in football so it took me a while to get through.

I did think it was a little crazy that the NFL uses tracking chips on their players and equipment though

yeah some of the facts caught me of guard too.

Like that fact that there is no written rule against female players.

Right?

I would love to see a female in the NFL.

I also couldn't believe that the American flags they use weight 1100- like I know they're big but its hard to imagine a flag weighing that much haha

I do not understand the rule about new orleans saint players and cheerleaders.

I don't remember reading about that just now in my article, but it sounds familiar.

It has something to do with them not being able to hang out right?

Like they can't go to the same parties or other places at the same time, yeah?

yeah even if a cheerleader is eating at a restaurant and an nfl player comes in to dine at the restaurant, any nfl player, they are required to leave.

wow

Is it always the cheerleaders that have to leave?

Like if she's already there and a player walks in, she has to be the one to go?

Thats really strange

yeah that's what it says.
No fraternization at all.

That's...really weird.

Speaking of weird, I guess there is a high school stadium in Texas that cost $60 million to build and seats 18,000 people- who knew people cared that much about high school football?

oh sure, in some parts of Texas there is nothing else to do for a hundred miles at least.

For some small towns, high school football is all the excitement they get.

Yeah that makes sense.

I guess if I had nothing else, I might have to turn to football for entertainment haha.

Did you read about Matt Patricia?

Apparently he was a rocket scientists before his NFL coaching job.

I think we have different facts.

But that is interesting.

One of mine is that the university of Iowa's visitor locker room for football is painted completely pink.

Hilarious!

Hah that is actually pretty funny!

I wonder if its effective in throwing off the opposing team a bit.

I read that Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL- not the most interesting fact, but kind of surprising.

I didn't think being left-handed was that uncommon.

I wonder how many left handed ones they've had overall?

That is interesting.

I thought there would have been more as well.

Just like in baseball.

Is being left-handed unusual in baseball too?

Or are you saying its not uncommon?

Speaking of baseball, I guess Russell Wilson is still under an MLB contract?

I didn't know that was possible!

Lol all these crazy fun facts.

I was saying it is way more common in baseball, to see both left and right handed pitchers.

Right- that's what I thought!

I feel like these are good for potential trivia questions haha Like I read that Snoop Dogg wrote a fight song for his son's high school team.

I wonder what that sounds like haha

yeah and that the highest football score ever was in 1916 222- 0

222?
Thats insane.
I wonder how long that game lasted?

right?


Much of a football fan?
Interested in Redskins or Buccaneers?

Only if they have a female player on their teams.

We may be out of luck on that one.

I lived in DC for a number of year, so some would thin I have an interest in DC winning.

I'm a New Orleans native, and won't support the Saints, until they get rid of that archaic rule regarding cheerleaders being in the same restaurants as the players.

Agreed, I really don't like the whole cheerleader thing.

I have a young daughter and would hate for her to want to be a cheerleader.

Mine doesn't cheer, as I don't like the culture.

My son's girlfriend plays football for their school, she's their kicker.

I'm surprised no NFL team has a woman kicker.

Well there is no rule against it.

I'm sure there would be a lot of fuss in the media for a few weeks, and then once she played it would be forgotten.

I know in UK soccer they have women referees, once they started doing it everyone got over it.

Do they also have tracking chips in their balls over there/

Probably, I know most big sports leagues track just about everything the players do, always looking for that edge.

Thats insane.

I think it's invasive, and wouldn't want a tracker in my shoulder pads, if I were a player.

I think the compensation football players get now would allow me to get over it.

Although I think we assume most players are set for life after a career, it might not be true.

Maybe.

I still can't believe ESPN won an Emmy for that superimposed yellow line.

Must have been a bad year, if they won for that.

I suppose if you are really into the game it matters to you, remembering a number in your head can be difficult.

I remember my son wondering how the line moved on the pitch when he was really young.

It's interesting that Baker Mayfield thought about becoming a pro gamer.

I wonder how that would have worked out for him.

I've been hearing more and more about pro gaming, apparently there is money in in now.

Colleges have started offering scholarships for e-sport league players.

Not sure how I feel about that, I guess it's safer than football.

He is a Halo 3 guru, I guess.

If they are at that level, then they probably make more than what a scholarship is worth.

I know some of the pros make millions.

I wonder how long a pro gamer career lasts?

If it's not longer than a football players they will run into the same issue where a regular career pays more than a short sports career.

I suppose as long as their reflexes hold out.

It's funny, pro bowlers used to make more than pro football players.

I think a pro bowling career might last a little longer, doesn't seem much chance of injury.

ESPN needs to come up with an innovation for bowling, its very repetitive.

The same could be said for footall.

Guess you have a point, I still don't understand how you can turn 11 minutes of play into three hours of TV.

It's been good chatting to you.

I don't understand that either, any more than I understand why there is only one left handed quarterback.

It's been fun, have a good one.

Have a good day, goodbye.


Hello!
How are you today?

Hello!

I hope you like football!

Because I am ready to talk about football!

Do you ilke football?

I am so ready to talk about football lol.

I love it it!

Do you like NFL or college more?

I love any type of football!

association football (known as soccer in some countries), Australian rules, rugby football!

But the good ol' National Football League (NFL) might be my favorite!

I can't believe there are so many different sports called football though.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

With 32 teams, it's hard to pick!
Who do you like?

I'm a Vikings fan but I like watching the Broncos since I live in Colorado Springs.

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

Wow, just 11 minutes?

Is that it?

I know the NFL uses tracking chips embedded in shoulders to track players moves.

That's a lot of work for just 11 minutes of live play!

It makes the data analysts job very easy I'm sure haha.

ESPN even won an emmy for that yellow first down line!

They sure are an innovative league!

Did you know there is even a rocket scientist coaching in the NFL?

Isn't that Matt Patricia?

It is!

He was an aeronautical engineer before coaching in the NFL!

His school, RPI, even had the words "sin", "cosine", and "tangent" in their fight song!

Oh wow!

I'm not smart enough to even go to those football games!

It would be interesting to see that 222-0 football game in 1916 though!

Yeah!

I do like the entertainment thought.

You know, we talked about fight songs a minute ago; did you know that Snoop Dogg wrote a fight song for his son's high school football game!

I bet that jumped to the billboard charts after being written huh?

lol that is funny!

I thought so too!

You know, even high school football is really popular.

There is a high school football stadium in Allen, Texas with 18,000 seats!

Didn't it cost 60 million dollars?

That is insane, I bet the teachers are still underpaid there too!

Yup!

That's the one!

So much money is spent on football!

Did you know that those humongous American flags at football stadiums cost $50,000 to make!

It is cool to see but that is a lot of money!

I hope it goes to a good cause!

Anyways, great chat have an awesome day!

Indeed!
And those flags weigh 1,100 pounds!
Go big or go home, as they say!
Good bye!

That's right!
Take care!


Do you like to talk about football?

Hi, yes, sports in general !!
and of course about football!

Nice!

The University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room pink!

lol

hahaha that is pretty funny and not intimidating at all!

I know.

In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars!

Wow that shocked me... nothing like that today did you know three football coaches are the highest paid employees of the us defense department!

That's incredible!

The highest score ever in a football game is when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0!

wow what a score!!

did you know there is a fight song from a school written by snoop dog!

I didn't.

That's neat!

ESPN won an emmy for creating the superimposed yellow first down line on tv.

I think that is cool!

Technology has allowed for a way more exciting game, like the tracking chips!

I agree!

Baker Mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue a full time competitive gaming career.

wow, I wouldn't want a change like that.. did you know there are many other types of football like soccer, rugby  gaelic football!

Yes I've seen them.

I had a friend that was in Rugby club years and years ago.

Cool I love soccer, follow the FC barcelona... but do not know anything about Australian football!

That's funny.

That same friend was from England and was big on Manchester United.

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

Seems crazy to pay all that money for a ticket when looked at from that perspective.

Seems like it but the reality is that the whole show if worth it and with the tracking chip you get info like the ball speed, the velocity and that adds to the average 11 minute hahaha

lol   The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player and an average MLB player.

Oh wow.

But i think is way more fun to play football... but I think the engineer has to work many more years.. Have you seen the super super big flags at the football stadiums

I have seen them!
Those flags are huge!

They weight more that 1000 pounds and cost about $50,000 wow!

Holy smokes!

I had no idea they weighed and cost that much.

Thanks for chatting!


Hi.

Do you watch football at all these days?

Yes I still watch the NFL of another season is over.

It was an exciting 17 weeks.

You?

I do watch the NFL and I do agree with you it was an exciting season and especially when my New England Patriots won the Super bowl!!

Oh congratulations.

Another one under your guys belt.

Speaking of the playoffs the first NFL playoff game was played in 1932!

I didn't know this.

Do you recall by any chance what were the teams playing that game at that year?

I believe it was in Chicago Stadium on an 80 yard long dirt field!

Oh Wow!!!

I didn't know this.

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

Yes and the field was home to the chicago blackhawks at the time.

No, what was the highest score ever?

I think you answered the wrong question.

What was the highest score ever recorded in a football game, do you know?

Sorry I was just telling you more about the field whether first playoff games held.

I don't know the highest score ever.

What was it?

That's okay.

It was a game between Georgia Tech crushing Cumberland 222-0 in 1916.

Holy cow how does that even happen?

I bet Matt Patricia would never let that happen.

He is the only rocket scientist coaching in the NFL.

Yes I heard that Matt Patricia is a rocket scientist a while back in my local news and when he was our defensive coordinator under Bill Belichick.

Oh wow.

He graduated from a school whose fight song includes Sin, Cosine, and Tangent lol.

I didn't know this.

That is very interesting.

Matt Patricia is a really smart guy and I think he will be great as a Lions head coach.

Yes I agree with you.

Do you like watching high school football?

It is huge in Texas, they have a stadium that cost $60 million to build.

I don't really watch high school football these day but that is a lot of money to build a high school stadium.

Yes it is.
It seats 18,000 people.

Nice.

Did you know that Alex Smith received his Bachelor's Degree in just a couple of years?

That is amazing he sounds so smart.

Speaking of quarterbacks, Russel Wilson is still under a major-league baseball contract.

It was nice speaking with you today.

I didn't know this about Russel Wilson.

It was fantastic chatting with you today as well.

I hope you have a great day!!

You too!
Have a good one!


I don't know much about football, but apparently Adrian Peterson is a new star on the Redskins team.

He seems to have done well, Alex Smith struggled in that game.

He is typically on point, to what I know,

It's pretty amazing how he got a shot, seeing as he wasn't in the training camp.

It sounds like he has a lot of stamina.

He is ready and willing to do what ever Gruden will give him.

Definitely a hard worker.

I think NFL players make a lot of money these days, so I bet he's glad to be on a team again.

However, I didn't know that bowlers in 1960 made more than football stars.

That is kinda crazy, I wonder how much that pay was, and what the gap is today.

It's probably not as much as it was in 1960 - twice as much, wow.

That makes me want to take up bowling!

I think the game Peterson played wasn't a very clear win, only a few scores.

There was one game in 1916 where the final score was 222-0.

I didn't know the game could go that high!

Neither did I .

That is a pretty large gap.

In most games there is only 11 minutes of live game play anyway, that game must have had a lot more.

Yeah.

I didn't realize it was only around 11 minutes of actual play.

Thinking about it, though, I guess they time all the huddles and positioning.

I didn't know the circular huddle was created by a deaf quarterback.

I thought that began with the game so they could all hear each other.

It is amazing that what they come up with, the huddle has become iconic.

Yes it has become iconic.

This Peterson is called a running back.

Is that the guy who tries to throw it to the quarterback or tries to catch the ball?

He is the guy that the quarterback hands the ball off to.

Oh ok.

I knew the quarterback was an important guy for offense, but Peterson's position sounded important too.

I think football players have a lot of pressure to do well.

Apparently the NFL uses chips to track lots of stats about them.

I wonder if that affects their pay.

Im not sure, but I know they do use the data from the chips to make play safer for them and make their pads better.

That's a good thing.

I think they can easily get injured without pads.

I think padding is more like the American kind of football.

I've seen some clips of rugby played without pads.

That looks pretty rough.

Yeah, Gaelic football is the same way, Im not sure how it works but it isnt for the weak.

I personally like the European type of football, also called soccer.

I like the strategy and skill.

I've been to an international soccer game before, it was really awesome to watch.

Me too.

I always played growing up.

I loved watching the world cup this past summer.

I haven't watched sports lately.

It's funny how things change, like how Tom Brady became a super bowl champ, but in high school they didn't even give him a chance.

I know, I bet they feel a little stupid now seeing what he has become.

Yes I think so.

I wonder if Peterson wants to win such an award before he has to retire.

Hopefully the Redskins will do better than the game against the Broncos, so he has a chance to prove himself.

I know he has become a more dominant force as he gains experience.

Anyway, nice chat!

Have a good night.


I was just reading about the NFL.
Are you a football fan?

I love football, Go Detroit Lions!!
What about you?

I am a Vikings fan, big time.

I was reading about Nick Foles' up and down career.

The Eagles sure killed my Vikes in the playoffs last year!

It will be interesting to see how Foles does from here on out, must be irritating for Eagles fans never knowing!

Yes.

I was surprised that the Patriots lost the Super Bowl last year.

Did you know that when TB was a QB in high school as a backup, they never played him on the JV team when they were having a really bad season.

Funny!

That is funny, I don't care for patriots but can't help but like Brady, a Michigan man go blue!

Exactly.

You cannot fault his tremendous commitment to the game.

I think a Bears/Patriots superbowl would be fun again.

I've read that Snoop dogg wrote a fight song for his son's football team in high  school, that could be interesting!

Yes.

That is probably a pretty vivid and inspiring song!

I was also interested to read about the Lions' coach is a rocket scientist!

Have you seen him during a game?

So rough looking

Matt Patricia?

He is super smart!

So is Alex Smith, one of my favorite QB's.

He got a bachelor's degree in 2 years and a master's soon after.

That is good to hear, some of those NFL players don't seem too intelligent, and can be so cocky and

I agree.

Here's a piece of football trivia.

The huddle was created because of a deaf QB, so that the other team could not read his hand signals.

Interesting...

Oh how cool is that!

Also interesting is that they embed chips in the should pads to track the players every move

I had heard that somewhere.

Plus all of the wonderful new technology in the helmets to help with the concussion problem.

Yes that is a scary thing!

Seems to be getting worse, despite the tech advances.

Players must be stronger, bigger and faster?

Definitely, so many people can be so competitive it gets scary.

Yes.

Hey do you know the highest score ever in a football game?

You'll never guess!

I have no idea, but would guess maybe 77?

Good try!
In 1916, it was 222-0.
Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland.
Wow!

Holy cow that is a huge score, and Cumberland didn't even make it on the board!

Awful!
It was great chatting with you.
Thanks.
Go Lions and Vikes!


Are you a football fan?
Do you have a favorite team?

I like the Steelers.
How bout you.

I'm a Steelers fan too!

I live right on the Ohio/PA line.

Did you know that there is only 1 left handed QB in the NFL - Kellan Moore.

I did know that.
You would think there would be more.

I know.

What do you think of the NFL using tracking chips in the players shoulders and in the footballs?

I think its an amazing technology.
The things they can do these days.

I know.

I just wonder though what exactly those chips do.

Like ...could they read where other chips are on the field?

..and if so...could a chip in the shoulder pads of a wide receiver be programmed to the chip that's in the football making the football come to the receiver's chip location?

That's interesting to think about.

I bet belichek has already checked into that.

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

Crazy when they make it stretch out to over 3 hours.

I know right.

They get all that money for 11 minutes worth of entertainment.

it pays to be an engineer as their lifetime earnings are higher than that of the lifetime earnings of an average NFL or MLB player.

Yeah but I think it would be a lot more fun to play football for a living.

I'm with you there!

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

I think the players union has rectified that situation.

Yes!

lol  I wonder why the University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room pink?

Probably to mess with the team.

lol

To mess with the visiting team.
Do you think it worked.

I don't think so.

lol  How about the highest scoring game ever when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland in 1916 by a score of 222-0!

They were just rubbing it in that last 200 points huh.

lol Poor Cumberland.

Did you know that the circular huddle was created by a deaf QB so the other team couldn't steal his hand signals?

Yeah and the huddle has become so engrained into football.

Its hard to think of the game without it.

I know right?
It was fun chatting with you!


Hi.
Do you like the NFL and the Ravens?

I like the nfl.
Not so much the ravens.

Same here.

I guess Lamar Jackson is back (or has been back)...

SO many injuries in the NFL.

Im a steelers fan and we play them twice a year.

I promise you Im not worried about lamar Jackson.

Ha.

I see...

I'm a Chiefs fan and I'm not losing any sleep.

I think the Ravens would do better if they could the players out of jail.

I didn't know the Saints had an 8-1 record.

Jackson can run but he cant throw at all.

You all got a pretty good QB up there in KC tho

Yeah, Mahomes is a great surprise.

If he stays healthy, he'll give Brady a run for his money, career stats-wise.

Brady will be out in the next few years.

I would say staying healthy and not falling off like a lot of guys do after one good year is his main concerns.

Yes, I agree... Maybe he'll be like Luck and avoid those sacks.

Hope so, I'd hate to see him go and he's so young.

To be honest the chiefs scare me more than the patriots do at this point.

Yeah, I was surprise to see that Rams come out on top.

I think the Pats are going downhill.

I sure hope so.

Im sick of them.

Lol.

Did you know that there is a rocket scientist coaching in the nfl.

I did not.

Is he doing well?

I can't believe that or that there is only 11 average minutes of gameplay in an NFL game.

His name is mat patrecia.
Im not sure who he coaches.

I'm not sure those are transferable talents...

Nor do I think painting a visitors locker room pink is going to do anything at the U. of Iowa.

Yeah I dont see that doing much.

It would make a good team laugh and who cares what it does to a bad team.

Lol.

I played in HS and on away games we used the girls locker rooms.

It had no effect although I did break a Barry Manilow album after a loss.

I regret that... We did have a circular huddle thank to a deaf QB of yesteryear.

That huddle has grown into a major part of the game.

Yeah...

I don't remember Alex Smith being so smart or being a 1st round draft pick...

I think he was drafted by the patriots wasnt he.

I didnt think he was a first rounder either.

This article I read says he was a first rounder in 2005 - doesn't say to whom.

Thanks for the chat and good luck to the Steelers.

Have a good one.


Hello are you familiar with football?

Yes, I do.

I'm mad that New Orlean Saitns cheerleaders are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player.

They have to leave if a player comes in to the same restaurant.

It's discrimination.

I agree such old fashion rules are a shame.

At least the nfl has no written rule against female players

That's good.

When do you think we will see female players?

That I am not sure.

Even though an average game only has 11 minutes of real gameplay, football is still among the most dangerous sports so the requirements are quite up there as well

I think you are right.

Apparently, NFL uses tracking chips to keep track players' every move on the field.

It must be for more data.

It is hard to catch all the action in those few minutes.

That why ESPN won an emmy for the yellow first down line because it helps digest the information much easily

I'm sure coaches use the data from these chips to make various strategy in addition to watching video replays.

I wonder if the nfl provides the data to individual coaches

I don't know.

Thank you for telling me that  ESPN won an emmy for the creation of the yellow first down line.

It's an interesting fact.

Do you follow teams, positions, or players?

I used to like 49ers since I lived in SF for 30 years but now I follow the Patriots.

I used to follow green ellis on the patriots since he still has never fumbled in his entire career

It was amazing that Ellis has never fumbled the football in his NFL career, how about Brady?

Well he is better known as an amazing quarterback, having won 4 super bowls.

He probably isn't in a position to fumble balls, but he sure can throw

Do you know that Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL?

Yes.

It is definitely impressive since being left handed is more a disadvantage than advantage in football unlike in other sports

Do you think Brady is the best QB in the entire history of NFL?

Given his performance, despite not being given the chance in highschool, I think he probably is the best QB in history

You are probably right.

No one has won many Superbowl championship like he did.

5 times?

Something like that.
Anyway, I enjoyed our pleasant chat.


Do you watch football?

Yes.

I watch it all season long and even have been watching the Alliance league.

I watch it too.

Did you know Kellan Moore is the only lefty?

I didn't know that.

Come to think of it I can't recall any lefties.

Former Patriots running back Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball once during his career.

Impressive.

Interesting, was he the best running back then?

I would say that would go to Jim Brown.

Espn won an emmy award of creating the superimposed first down line.

Nice.

That is probably worth it.
That line is super cool.

I agree.

In the 1960s top bowlers made two times as much as the top football stars of that era.

WOW!

That is pretty cool, gives me hope then!

LOL  Do you know what the highest score ever was for a football game at the college level?

No, what was it?

Georgia tech beat Cumberland in 1916.

WOW!

That is a lot.

Did you know that university of Iowa paints their guest locker room pink?

lol That's funny!

They must do that to get in the heads of who they are playing.

I think so, but honestly you have to wonder if it just makes the other team angry.

I don't think they probably really care.

Do you know who Alex Smith is?

Not really, is he a football player?

Yes.

He's a QB.

He was the first pick in the 2005 draft by the 49er's.

What's impressive about him is that he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2 years!

Interesting.
Is he left handed too?

No.

He's a righty.

I'm surprised that there's only 11 minutes of live gameplay per an average NFL game.

That figures, every time I watch a game it is people standing around on the sidelines.


Hello, do you know much about quarterbacks?

I do!

I know that Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB in the NFL.

That's interesting.
What about Vick?

He's retired.

But, he's coaching one of the teams in the new American Alliance of Football league.

Do you have a favorite QB?

Mine is Baker Mayfield.

I did not know that.

I would say Mahomes is my favorite right now.

I also like Andy Dalton.

Mahomes is good and I like Dalton.

Be curious to see what Mahomes does next year.

See if teams can adjust to him.

Baker Mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue a full time competitive gaming career.

Yikes!

That sounds too risky.

I agree.

Did you know Alex Smith took so many AP classes in high school that he was a junior when he entered college?

I didn't know that.

That's pretty impressive!

The circular huddle was created by a deaf QB named Paul Hubbard so the other team could not read his hand signals.

That's pretty interesting.
I had no idea.
Do you like the NFL in general?

I do.

I've been an NFL fan my whole life.

Probably more so though before big money changed the game.

Me too.

Did you know the NFL has no written rule against females playing in the league?

I did know that.
I wonder if we'll see one soon.
Maybe a kicker?

I bet it will be a kicker too.

Did you know that there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay per game?

I did not know that, but that is pretty amazing.

I would have never guessed that.

Short time considering they stretch out a game to 3 hours.

lol  What do you think of the tracking chips they put in the players shoulder pads and footballs to track data?

I agree.

Yes, I heard they do that to track rotation, ball speed, location, and velocity.

I've wondered if they could be attracted to other chips?

Like would the chips in the balls be programmed to be attracted to the chips in the wide receivers shoulder pads?

I'm not too sure how that works, but curious to know.

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

What a blowout!

It was good talking to you!


Hi, do you like the NFL?

It's pretty entertaining.

Can you believe the very first playoff game was in 1932?

That was a long time ago!
Like when georgia tech beat cumberland!

Yeah, on an 80-yard long dirt field that was the home of an NHL team!

Wait, what?
What was the field?
The cumberland game?
Tell me more!

The field of the first playoff game in 1932 was actually on a dirt field inside the Chicago stadium which was where the Blackhawks played their games at the time.

That's crazy!
Im in chicago and I did not know that!
I did love the old stadium though!

Nice.

Did you know there was a football coach in the NFL who is also literally a rocket scientist?

I did!
But I am also a huge football junkie.
Matt Patricia!
He is the lions head coach.

That's cool.

The Lions have a pretty good quarterback.

I agree.
Although he is long in the tooth.
As a bears fan, I hope they do poorly!

I can't believe there is only one left-handed quarterback in the league.

Is it Byran Leftwich?

No, it's Kellan Moore.

Wow, I thought it was byron leftwich.
He was good too!
Do you have a favorite NFL team?

I don't, I'm more of a baseball fan.
Though Russell Wilson plays both!

I love baseball too.
I am a cubs fam though.
Big fan.
Watching MLB network now!

Cool.

Yeah, Wilson is technically still under an MLB contract even though he hasn't played since 2011.

He has been to a few spring trainings though.

Rnagers an Yankees.

Yeah, the Rangers traded him to the Yankees last year.

Nice chatting with you!

You, too!
Have a good one!


Hello, did you happen to watch the Superbowl yesterday?

Yes I did.
Did you?

I did, I thought it was a good game, both teams had strong defenses I think Tom Brady did a good job even though he finished as the third most valuable qb

Both defenses did play good.

Who were the two QBs more valuable than Tom Brady?

Im not sure but if had to gues I would say Aaron Roders and Drew Brees.

I see.

Are you talking about the super bowl or the entire season?

Im talking about the entire season, I think he might go up to second or first with his performance last night, he threw a great pass for the only touchdown

But there were not passing touch downs last night.

I know, but the pass that was almost a touchdown, thats the one im refering to.

I see.
Yes that was a very good pass.
Not many QBs could make that throw.

Yeah, too bad it wasnt a touchdown though, so close just a few more yards, so what is your favorite NFL team?

The Dallas Cowboys.

I've been watching them since I was a little kid.

How about you?

My favorite team is the Patriots so I had a pretty good time last night, how did the Cowboys do this season?

That's awesome.

It's always nice when your favorite team wins the championship.

The Cowboys won their division but lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs this year.

Thats too bad, maybe next year they will make it, you know the saints have this unfair rule and if a cheerleader is at a restaurant and a player goes to the same place she must then leave

Really?

That's a pretty crazy rule that I  have never hard of.

Did you also know that Brad Johnson is the only QB to ever throw  touchdown pass to himself?

How is that possible lol, I might have to look for that strange fact in YouTube later, I wonder how the pass went

It was near the goal line and when he threw the ball it was deflected by a lineman but went right back to him.

He caught it and ran it in.

Was pretty crazy.

It must have been great and really usual since he is the only one to have done that, I dont know were the fact of the 11 minutes of gameplay comes from, it sure seems like a game is a lot longer and the clock is always paused.

Yeah it would seem like a lot longer than 11 minutes to me as well.

Yeah, football sure is a beautifull game too bad the season is now over.


Do you follow football much?

Hello there I do watch it, how about you?

I love watching it.
Do you watch both college and NFL?
Who are your teams?

I follow the Packers, how about you?

Me too, I love Aaron Rodgers.

I am an Iowa Hawkeye fan, did you hear that they paint their locker room for the other team pink

I heard about that, that is too funny, and I guess it's proven to help the other team relax.

right, I think it has worked, they have beat quality teams at home.

Did you know there is no rule against females playing in the league

I think I heard that, I think it would be very cool to see a female player make a roster and play.

Right, I heard there may be a female kicker going to play college football somewhere, that would be neat

Yeah it sure would be, even if it was just kicker to start.

for sure, that would open up a lot of opportunities.

Did you hear about the Saints cheerleader rule?

I think so, the one where they would have to leave a place if members of the team show?

yea that is pretty sexist in my opinion.

That makes the female potential in the nfl take a step back, my opinion

Yeah I would have to agree with you there, seems dumb to me to be honest.

for sure i agree, do you watch college

Yeah I watch some college but not very closely, always seems like the same schools, how about you?

same, just the Hawkeyes mostly.

Did you hear about the game in 1916 that ended 222-0

I heard about that wow!

I wonder how many of the fans of the opposing team were still in the stands at the end?

I wonder if they still had a football program after that lol!

I would have quit once the score got to be like 100-0

Yeah they just cancel the whole program lol, and how did they even score that many?

You can't even score that much in Tecmo Super Bowl.

Right lol, that is so crazy.

I feel there should have been a mercy rule created after that game lol.

It was very nice chatting with you!


Hi, I read somewhere that the average NFL game has only 11 minutes of actual game play, that's hard to believe isn't it?

yes,Anyone who has ever tuned into an NFL broadcast knows that plenty of air time is spent showing players huddling, coaches yelling, and fans cheering

Yeah, it seems like alot of wasted time.

I do not like that

Ok, when do you think the NFL will get its first female player?

I do not know that.
It would be nice if it happened.

I don't understand, but I would think they are people sitting around and betting on the date the first woman player will be admitted to the NFL.

sorry i do not know that details.

ok, that's fine.

Do you know that the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is painted pink?

yes i think,College Football ...

Visiting locker rooms are often cramped places that aren't meant to be .

for a home team's opponents, but the Hawkeyes take things up a notch

I'd say so too.

Do you know NFL payers have tracking chips embedded in their shoulder pads to record their every move on the field?

yes i know little bit, Sep 7, 2017 - Last season, Zebra Technologies brought next-gen stats to the NFL by implementing their RFID chips in NFL players' pads to track speed,

That's cool, I wonder who's the fastest player?

I think,Ten running backs were faster, and wide receiver John Ross set the combine record at 4.22.

But it's Fournette, the 240-pound bruiser

Does Fournette play for the Jacksonville Jaguars?

Sorry i don't know that details please explain.

I was just wondering what NFL team he played for.

What is your favorite football team?

I like, The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Oh cool, the Packers are good.

I like the Dallas Cowboys, America's team.

okay, that nice.
which player you mostly like?

I like the great Tom Brady.
It's been nice talking with you.


Hello, do you know much about the quarterback position?

I do!

I know that the NFL only has one left handed quarterback now, do you?

That's interesting.
I did not know that.
I know Vick was a lefty.

and the great Steve Young haha.

Can you believe bowlers once earned more money than football players?

I find that hard to believe.

Bowling has really gone downhill since then.

It really has, or has football gone up?

Maybe just football has gone up.

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

I wonder if he is still great at Halo 3?

I'm surprised Alex Smith is still playing, given he's basically a genius!

I have no idea if he is.
That's pretty amazing about Alex Smith.
He must be very smart.

Oh for sure.

I love watching football games, but hate that there is only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay.

That's very surprising.

Did you know the NFL has no written rule against women playing?

I didn't know that, I wonder if any have tried out for teams!

I hate that the New Orleans Saints kick cheerleaders out of restaurants if a player comes in though!

I think many teams have rules about players interacting with cheerleaders.

Maybe it is needed for the players?

Could you imagine being at that college game where the score was 222-0?

I can't imagine losing by that much.
I would be very sad.

I think the whole team would just quit after that haha.

that was in 1916 though so it might have gotten better!

Iowa painted their opposing team locker room pink.

I thought that was always interesting, I wonder if it actually did affect other teams?

Not too sure.

I don't see how that would really work all that well.

Maybe they should get an emmy like ESPN did for their yellow line during gameplay?

That's pretty awesome.

Well, it was really good chatting with you today.


Do you know what AFC stands for?

I have no Idea is it American Football Champions?

I think so.
It makes sense.

Haahahaaaa, ok thats awesome i hope so too, why is it called football anyways?

They play it with their hands.

I dont get it some times.

Yes, football should be for soccer games since soccer players play using their feet.

you got that right lol, i feel the same way too, I love soccer, and i love watching the Players brawl in American football though, so talented I just Hope no one dies in the field one day they are talented and strong though, did you know that Kellan moore is the only left handed QB in the NFL?

I GUESS RIGHT HANDED PEOPLE ARE JUST MORE FIT TO BE qbS.

I did not know that.

Are you watching football games this season?

Not in perticular I am forced to follow them though because of my job, I love talking about sports with my clients

People talk about sports during business conversations but we need to avoid talking about politics.

How do teams choose quaterbacks?

Is it like choosing leaders in a company?

Exactly I agree with you, with sports everything is into play though including race, I dont know how they choose the QB, But I know a fact that Only 2 Black QBs have won the Super bowl

Thanks for the info.

By the way, since we talked about it earlier, AFC stands for american football  conference (I just did some research while talking to you)

Ohhh lol we were not so off then Its Close to American Football Confrence, they have come from far though, for example I read somewhere that The first nfl play off game was played on a dirt field in Chicago, but now look how fancy the fields are too much money lol, do you think players are overpaid?

I just found out that  NFL consists of NFC and AFC

ohhh wow, now I know what NFL and AFC are so what is NFC then?

NFC stands for National Football Conference.

Wow too complicate, I know though that NFL is one of the 4 majoy pro sports leagues in North America.

I think thats pretty boss, and one thing I like is that They play football here in america and it makes enough money to get the Robert Krafts rich literally The Nfl Does not have to sell the sport anywhere else if it does not want to.

NFL owners make so much money - I do not mind if the players are overpaid because they are doing dangerous jobs.

Do you know that there is no rule against female players?

I hear you My friend they have so much money if they can pay the Athlets that much, lol how much do you think they keep??

wait what do you mean no rule against female players?

you mean they can play on a male team?

As long as they meet eligibility requirements.

ohhh wow!

those guys are giants literally, but surprisingly young too, Tom Brady is getting too old for them I think thats why Patriots are not doing very good this year, do you believe women should play on an NFL team?

I agree.
Nice chatting with you.


Are you a fan of the NFL?

Yes, I am a big Packers fan!

Nice!

I like the Packers also, I like Aaron Rodgers.

Do you like the saints at all?

No way, hate them.

What about Demarcus Lawrence not getting the praise like he should?

He is a great pass rusher!

I heard that, I think he will get that big contract though.

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

Yeah, that would suck to be them.

The cheerleaders already don't get paid.

I would be so embarrassed.

for sure, you know who does get paid well, engineers.

They make more than nfl players over their lifetime

What!

Thats crazy and those quarterback better stay in school and not rely on their bodies.

Alex Smith is very smart, ya know?

I heard that and a great player.
Didn't he get his degree super early?

Yeah and did it right.

He can play and get degrees!

Did you know the huddle was created by a deaf man?

I think I heard that!

Wasnt it paul hubbard, he was so good for the browns!

Exactly, he didn't want anyone to see his hand signals.

That is so cool.

For sure!
are you a college football fan at all?

Yes, and Mayfield is my guy!

He is from OU and we would go watch him play all the time.

Ya know he wasn't gonna go for football once in his life?

Nice.

I heard he was a gamer for halo 3.

I could have beat him.

I am an Iowa fan, they paint the locker rooms of the visitors pink!

HA, nice!

I like confidence!

Yeah Mayfield was gonna go become a gaming pro because nobody could beat him, according to him.

Yes a pink room would be embarrassing and deflating for the other team..

Who plays halo 3 anymore lol.

I was playing that like 15 years ago.

I think the pink calms the other team too much

Oh, that is an interesting outlook.

I think I agree.lol Ya know the highest scoring game occured in 1916 when Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222-0.

Can you believe that?

Man I would have quit when the game got to 100-0.

So embarrassing.

Good chatting with you!

Thank you for the new perspective!
Im gonna run with it

Me too, bye!


Hello.
How are you.

Im great, are you a football fan?

Yeah.
What do you think about vontaz burfict.

I think that was a low shot, hitting Antonio Brown like that, what are your thoughts?

I thought it was really low.

He does it all the time too only good part was that it cost his team the game.

It did, I bet his teamates were upset because of this, it was late in the game so yeah, serious consequences

Yeah.
I dont like that dude.

Thats not  sport friendly, there was no flag on the play I dont think a suspension is a likely thinng the Steelers won 28-21

So what do you think will there ever be a womean in the nfl

I dont think so, theres no rule against that but I think its unlikely, what do you think?

Maybe a kicker, but I doubt it.

Yeah I think it's unlikely.

Just think the first time a woman got seriously hurt.

It would not go over to well in the media.

What do you think about the 11 minutes of live gameplay?

I think the game shouldnt last 3 hours with only 11 minutes of gameplay.

I have the same thoughts, seems like an insult for fans and for viewers, too many adds, too many interruptions

Yeah.

I can understand the super bowl taking longer but not regular season games.

I agree, it does take a long time, the NFL uses tracking chips

I know they have them in the players shoulder pads as well as in the footballs.

Yeah the chips in the footballs allows us to tell track, velocity, rotation, ball speed

Its such a good invention.
We get a bunch of new stats from it.

I agree a lot of interesting stats, tech is taking over sports,

Well have a good one.
I gotta get off here.


Hello.
Have you ever heard of Baker Mayfield?

Yes I have!

Did you know he actually came close to quitting football in order to pursue a competitive gaming career?

Glad he didn't as I would guess football is much more lucrative!

I did hear that and I'm glad he didn't too!

It surprises me though in a way to picture him being so good at video games.

In another way I'm not because he is very competitive.

That is true.

But you know what really surprises me?

I can't believe there's only one left handed QB in the NFL and that's Kellan Moore.

I figured there'd be far more left handers!

I've never actually noticed but it just seems like there should be.

Maybe there will be more quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes.

I think he can throw with either hand.

Maybe so!

I wonder if the deaf guy named Paul.

D. Hubbard who created the circular huddles used today to keep opposing teams from reading his hand signals was left handed?

I don't know.

I think it's neat that there used to be a deaf quarterback and I wonder why there's none in current times.

The huddle is a smart way to protect his conversations though!

Indeed it is.

Since we're on the subject of quarterbacks, do you like Tom Brady?

I bet his old JV high team still kicks themselves to this day for refusing to start him when he was a backup despite never winning a game or scoring a touchdown that season.

It's kind of sad, really.

Oh wow!

i bet they do too!

That coach may not even coach anymore after realizing what a mistake he made.

I wonder why he just wouldn't give the backup a chance when clearly the starter was not doing so good.

It's a mystery, isn't it.

But coaches sometimes make back decisions.

I tell you what I often wonder is why we haven't had a female player drafted yet.

Females are allowed to play as long as they meet the eligibility requirements, believe it or not!

I guess they haven't tried or been able to meet requirements.

I've seen a few female players, mostly kickers, on the news and other shows.

I know there is a female ref and I think an assistant coach of some kind now.

Is there really?

I mean, since the average game is only 11 minutes in terms of live gameplay, you'd think we would have at least seen a female kicker by now, right?

The nfl is slow moving on some things.

Just look at the New Orleans Saints.

They have a rule for the cheerleaders that if they are at a restaurant and a player comes in they have to leave.

That is hard to believe and I can't believe lawsuits haven't been filed yet unless it's just some silly voodoo superstition or something?

Either way, in terms of money, women would be better off becoming engineers since they make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players anyway.

Wow, that really surprises me.

I mean, some of these contracts players get are so extreme!

Hey, even crazier, back in the 1960s, the top bowlers made more than the top football players.

That is so depressing considering how rough football is compared to how easy bowling is.

I guess people weren't that into football back then like they are now.

Now ESPN wins an emmy for creating a yellow line to show where the first down is during the game.

That is true and that yellow line is so innovative.

I couldn't watch a game without it today!

But thankfully people are more into football today as I couldn't see a bowler making more than Benjarvus Green-Ellis who's never fumbled the football in his entire pro career.

That would be plain wrong!

That would be wrong and I like that line too.

It makes the game more intense and exciting when you know just how far a team has to go.

Do you watch any college football games?

I do like to watch college football.

But I feel sorry for those teams who play Iowa at their stadium and have to sit in a pink lockerroom.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad for the University of Iowa.

Ha!

What about you?

I love college football!

I think it's better than the NFL actually.

Have you ever heard about the Georgia Tech/Cumberland game of 1916?

If not, check it out when you have time.

I've got to go.

It's been great chatting with you!


Do you know the details of Quarterback?

You mean the position in football?
I know a little

Quarterback is one of the Most Important Position in the National Football League.

The QB certainly has a challenging role.

The game has evolved around the position.

Yes, it's true.
Do you like Football?

I watch it from time to time.

I'm surprised to learn that Tom Brady was overlooked by his JV team in high school.

Junior varsity players are the members of a team who are not the main players in a competition, usually at the high school and college levels in the United States.

I would have expected the coach to recognize talent in the QB that would eventually win 4 Super Bowls.

Have you heard of Alex Smith?

I think Alexander Douglas Smith is an American football quarterback for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.

Is it right?

I think so.

He took a lot of AP tests in high school and started college as a junior.

Smart guy.

Okay, That's nice.

If he doesn't do well in the NFL, I bet he could become an engineer.

They make more on average over their careers.

Okay, Last offseason the Redskins traded for Alex Smith, hoping he would fill that hole for several years.

But when he suffered the compound spiral fracture of his right leg in November, it left his career in doubt and the Redskins needing to plan for life without him.

The Redskins have made it clear that Smith's health, regardless of football, is most important.

It's good to hear that the team is concerned.

I think that he needs to consider other alternatives besides football.

What is your favorite team in National Football League?

Probably the Green Bay Packers.

They are the only non-profit team in the league.

They are worth a ton of money.

I like too.

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

They have sold out every game since 1960.

The Packers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division.

The players make a lot of money, but an average game has about 11 minutes of live gameplay!

Yes, and i think this is one of the most famous game in the world.

Did you know that engineers tend to make more over their lifetimes than NFL players?

I guess it's better to be an engineer.


Hi, how are you?

Im great.
how are you?
are you a football person?

I'm good, thanks for asking.
Yes, I like football.

I don't watch too often.

I usually follow the NFL right around playoffs.

did you watch the super bowl this year?

Yes, I watched my favorite team, the Patriots pull out another win with my man, Tom Brady.

The patriots seem to always win.

werent they called the Lannisters of the NFL?

Yes, they've been called that.
Hey don't hate, appreciate!
LOL

LOL.

Ok. i guess i usually root for the underdog.

didnt the pats win last year too?

They've won a few times the past couple of years.

Um, doesnt brady have like a dozen rings or something?

half a dozen?

Yeah, but he deserves every one of them, he has a very good work ethic.

yes, he also seems to have a unique diet.

strawberry-less.

Don't forget the avocado icecream, he loves so much!

Why avocados?
are they a vegan thing?
he is a vegan right?
is his wife?

I'm not sure about that icecream, it's supposed to be creamy with all the good fats, but it sounds just plain gross.

I ain't eating it!

i guess he sees the results and doesnt mind the taste.

maybe you add salt or something?

salsa?

i wonder.

Uggh!
you're making it worse!

LOL.

sorry.

i got carried away.

I guess i should control myself during the chats or i might disgust my partner.

Sorry.

Lol, he can eat whatever he wants as long as I can eat my chicken wings and drink my beer while watching him play.

I sat for over 3 hours watching that last Superbowl and about ran out of beer before the end.

You flirted with tragedy there my friend.

you need to be better prepared!

does amazon do same-day delivery of beer on sundays?

Plan for success!

I was a little mad, especially when I keep hearing that there are only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay in a game.

WTF?

Yeah, a lot of standing around and waiting waiting waiting.

Anyway, great chat!

Same to you!
Have a good evening.


Hello, do you watch football

Yup.

I assume you are referring to American football, like the NFL, and not to the World Cup football?

Yeah the NFL?

I missed the superbowl this year, did you watch it?

Yup.

Brady did it again!

To think he wasn't even a starter in High School...

I know , they missed on a real talent back then for sure

Another Patriot I admire, former running back Benjavus Green-Ellis...

The dude never once fumbled during his entire pro career!

How amazing is that really.

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

Talk about shooting a man's horse!

I know that is quite something.

Georgia Tech must be still raving about that

Cumberland was scarred for all time!

I bet their players all switched to bowling...

Hahaha could be.

Back in the day they would have made much more money

True.

You know what they say, guys do for the girls, the gold, or the glory!

YOu know, the NFL has no rules against female players?

So the girls could go for the gold and the glory too!

I really wonder if we will see that anytime soon.

I would like to see it, it might make the game more diverse and fun

Yeah.

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

Yeah that is so strange.
Did you know the ESPN won an Emmy once?

Of course!

They made that game-changing superimposable yellow line that tells every armchair quarterback where the first down marker is located.

Only noteworthy thing ESPN has ever done.

I guess, interesting to win an award for that.

Good for them.

Did you know Baker Mayfield considered quitting the sport?

No!

Tell me it isn't so!

Why?

Was he jealous of Alex Smith's stellar academic performance?

hahhaha maybe and also because he wanted to become a professional competitive gamer

Well, he is still just one concussion away from a career as a couch potato, so maybe he should rethink his decision... Alex Smith, who took so many AP courses in high school, he started College as a Junior, and yet he still chose a sport where men twice your size try to kill you every Sunday.

Think again Alex...

Hhaha I know but what a dedication on his behalf go plan that ahead for your career.

Nice chatting with you


Are you a fan of the NFL's Cincinnati's Bengals?

No, I don't follow much the NFL, are they doing good this year ?

I don't know.

I do know that the Bengals have a linebacker in trouble for late hits.

His name is Vontaze Burfict.

Now I remember, I think there getting a lot of penalties these day, don't they ?

I guess.

I didn't even know the Steeler had a problem with Burfict.

He sounds like kind of a dirty player.

Do you think all the chips and sensors they put in the players' equipment will do anything regarding this issue ?

I'm not sure but I could see where it might help officiating the game.

I think it could help QB safety.

It is a rough sport, I hope they will enforce the rules and increase the safety of the players.

Yeah, some of them get brain damage.

I guess with all the bad hits from Burflict, the guy he hit ended up making the game-winning touchdown.

Do you think they have the same problems with the others variation of football like rubgy or Canadian football ?

Probably -- anything that's a contact sport.

It's bad in boxing too... Then again, the average length of real gameplay in the NFL is only 11 minutes.

I knew there was a lot of advertisements and replays but not that much.

Do you think they should do something about that ?

I played in HS and there is a lot of standing around.

Most of it's moving the poles or substitutions.

They could reduce commercials though.

Yes, but it seems that it is still very popular 14 of the biggest stadiums are football stadiums in the US, people seem to like it the way it is.

Yeah I prefer college football.

My alma mater beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916.

Wow, the coach must of have a vendetta...

Yeah, I would you feel if you were on the winning team ?

I think I would feel like a bully.

We did use circular huddles but I didn't know it was invented for a deaf QB.

They would not have need one for the play of the QB who threw a touchdown pass to himself.

I would have liked seeing that.

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

No,  I did not know that, do you think they want women players or they don't want to offend feminists ?

Probably just never thought it would come up.

In today's "victim" society, they are probably keeping it that way for feminists.

Thanks!

You were great.

You too, have a good weekend.


Hello.
Do you watch football?

Yes, what is your favorite team ?

I don't really have a favorite.

I like a few on both sides, the nfc and the afc.

What's your favorite?

I like the Giants, Eli Manning is struggling, but I believe that he will come back.

Maybe, a lot of people say it's all on Eli but I think it's a team thing.

Their offense, not just him, has had trouble performing lately.

He did improve, he made changes in his personal life, but the results are not there....

What kind of changes did he make?

When they played the Saints he made 31 of his 41 passes but they still lost the game.

That just tells me there's problems with other players.

He was benched in 2017, so maybe he had issues with his coach.

Yeah, I remember that.

I wonder if part of the issue is his age.

He is 37 now.

Yeah, He has to get better if he wants to ends his career on a high note, like when Georgia tech won 222-0.

True.

Is that that game from back in the early 1900s?

Yeah, it was a long long time ago, against Cumberland.

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

If I were Cumberland I would feel terrible, demoralized.

Then again, maybe people just really didn't care all that much about football back then.

In the 60s bowlers made twice as much as football players.

I think I would just laugh it off, there is nothing to learn from a 222 point defeat.

You can learn that your defense needs a great deal of work as well as the coaches because whatever game plan the coaches came up with clearly did not work.

Yeah, do you like watching football on TV ?

I do.

Hey, do you think Cumberland should have painted their locker rooms pink like the University of Iowa does?

Maybe, it could not have been worse.

Do you think there is too much advertisement in football, there is only 11 minutes of live game play in a  game.

Yes I do.

It seems like they go to commercial after every down practically.

What do you think about women becoming players?

I think it is a good idea, but is it feasible, they they have the physical strength to compete with men ?

I don't know.

I know there's no rules against them playing if they can meet requirements.


do you like the NFL?

Yes I do.

DO you know that Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB?

WOw cool.
Do you like Brady of the Patriots?

Yes I do, he is a good player, is he your favorite?

One of them yes.

In high school he was a back up QB and never got started

Wow their loss I guess.

Brad Johnson once threw himself a touchdown shot

Wait what?
How is that even possible?

Exactly, that is why he is the only guy in history to have done that

Yeah I guess so.

ALex Smith finished college in two years only

Nice, he must be smart.

Did you know Russell WIlson is still under contract though he is not playing regularly?

Wow that is interesting.

Yes Alex was smart but he also took lots of ap tests in high school and managed to move fast

Great planner too.

Snoop dog once wrote a song for his son's team

Nice.

U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink

I wonder if that is supposed to have some effect on the players

I wonder too.

In the 60s bowlers made more than the football players

I guess football was not that popular back in the day as bowling was

True.

DO you know the highest score in college football is 222-0?

Wow what, when was that and who was playing?

Yes it was Georgia Tech who beat Cumberland in 1916

WOw what a defeat .
Nice chat

Same here, have a great one


Hello - did you know the university of Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is painted pink?

Hi!

Is it the opposing players locker room that's painted pink or the players locker room?

Why would they paint it pink?

It's the opposing players locker room.
It's probably a psychological thing.

Wonder if there's any actual effect or they just want to get in their minds.

I have never followed Canadian football, I would imagine hockey is considered America's favorite sport instead of football.

Don't think hockey is quite as big as it is in Canada?

I think hockey is definitely bigger in Canada.

I think football and baseball are bigger in America than hockey.

Even basketball too especially for March Madness!

Maybe Canada have women playing in their football leagues because there's no official written rule preventing female players from playing, but no one has yet met the physical requirements to my knowledge.

Did you know the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars?

Does that still hold true, I'd imagine not since it seems as if football stars make a lot more than that and they make much more from endorsements too, if a bowler endorsed something, I don't think I would know them.

I bet it doesn't still hold true.

Unless the league factors in that they only average about 11 minutes of live gameplay so maybe it still does

That's crazy it's only 11 minutes of play.

Yes and yet I devote an entire afternoon to watching the games!

The circular huddle that's used in games today was actually created by a deaf quarterback so the opposing team couldn't read his hand signals, he should've trademarked that!

That's a cool stat.

I saw that Green-Ellis has never fumbled the ball in his NFL football career.

That's not an easy feat consider people are literally chasing you when you possess the ball, wonder if he can negotiate a better salary with that stat.

I can't believe he never fumbled.
Never heard that stat before.

Kellan Moore is the only left-handed quarterback, would the opposing team need to adjust their plays to accommodate that dexterity bias?

I'm not sure what the opposing team would need to do to adjust.

If only the superbowl was as entertaining as the 1916 Georgia tech game when they defeated Cumberland by 222-0, actually I think that'd be a pretty boring game as well.

That would be pretty crazy.
This past super bowl was pretty boring.
Probably the most boring one ever.

Yeah, it really was but I still watched the whole thing.

To my knowledge, I don't think the Rams or Patriots cheerleaders are treated like the Saints cheerleaders where they are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as the players.

It was good talking to you - take care!


Hi, how are you?

hey I'm good, do you have a favorite quarterback?

I like Jay Cutler.
Do you?

ya he's good, I also like tom brady, Kellan Moore is interesting because he is left handed and the only quarterback like that

Yeah.

I thought there would have been more leftys but I guess he is the only one.

Do you know who alex smith is?

no I don't, I think hes a quarterback but thats all I know

He took so many AP tests in high school, he entered college as a junior!

I barely passed high school.

What a show off!

wow he sounds really smart!

what is weird is that only 2 black quarterbacks have ever won the superbowl, I wonder why

Racism...
The huddle was created by a deaf QB.
Who knew!

ah interesting!

and ya apparenlty a quarterback threw a touchdown pass to himself, how is that possible?

Was it Baker Mayfield.

He's good at Halo 3!

He claims he can beat anyone at OU in the game.

wow thats impressive, also impressive that over half of the biggest world stadiums are all american football stadiums

There's only one stadium that has a visiting locker room that is pink though, the university of iowa!

ya I bet!

Only 1 team has a snoop dogg song for their anthem, and that is snoop doggs son's team haha

ESPN won an emmy for that yellow line of the field for first downs.

Seems like a low bar for an emmy.

ya it seems obvious but maybe it was a big tech breakthrew at the time, have you seen those huge american flags at football stadiums?

I have.

The ones for the national anthem that is unfurralled?

yup those, they cost 50k and are over 1000 pounds, thats nuts!

I can understnad the cost but 1000 pounds seems really heavy!

For only 11 minutes of play too!

yup it does seem like a waste, did you hear about the tracking chips the nfl uses?

I love chips, especially doritos!
Nice chatting with you!
