Are you a fan of the NFL?

A little bit.

I do enjoy watching some playoff games and the Super Bowl, but I don't follow any team closely.

What about you?

I follow the Redskins.

I'm sorry for you then hehe!
Who's the current QB of your team?

I don't know to be honest.
We've won a few super bowls in my time.
I can't complain.

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

His team lost all games, but his coach refused to put him on field?

Yeah, I knew that.
He doesn't get injured much.
I think that is why he is so good.

He's won yet again this year.

And it looks like he has no plan to retire soon.

He will be known as the greatest of all time when all is said and done

That is probably true.

I wonder what he will do after football?

He doesn't have to do anything.

He already has all the money in the world.

Maybe coaching?

NFL season's are only 17 weeks long...

I'm not sure he'd be a good coach.
Maybe he will just be like Elway?

What does Elway do now?

I think he is the owner of the Broncos.

That's a possibility.

I'm not sure that Robert Kraft will sell his team though.

There's only 32 teams in the league and they're worth quite a bit right now.

Robert Kraft is in a bunch of trouble right now.

I don't think it matters too much.

Football, the American kind, is such a big business that he will be get a tiny slap on the wrist and get sent home

Yeah, that is true.

I didn't know that ESPN won an emmy for that First Down marker, pretty cool if you ask me.

I didn't either.

I don't think I could watch a football game ever again without these.

They help so much in following the action

That they are.
I couldn't imagine a game without it.
Well, nice chatting!

Same here.
Have a great day

You too!


Hello?

Hi.
Do you watch football?

I do, it is one of my favorites.

Same here.

Did you know the first NFL playoff game was in 1932?

No, serious?

Apparently it was played on an 80 yard field in Chicago.

Awesome, was it snowing?

Hopefully not, because they played on a dirt field, so that would get really muddy.

Who is your favorite quaterback?

I liked Nick Foles last year!

Did you know Russell Wilson also has a contract as a professional baseball player?

No, I didn't know that.
I would do that instead.

Well, he hasn't played since 2011, so he must be better at football.

Did you know the huddle was made in order to hide hand signals?

Really?
Do you know who made it?

It was Paul Hubbard.

Very cool.

There is a high school stadium in Texas that cost 60 million to make!

I would be interested to see what makes it so expensive.

WHOLLY MOLLY!
Are you serious?

Yeah.

It's in Allen, Texas and has 18,000 seats!

Interesting.
Everything is big in Texas!

Very true!

Like those big American flags that they use at football games which weigh 1100 pounds!

OMG, are you serious?
That can't be true

And apparently they cost $50,000?!
Who knew!
Thanks for chatting.
Have a nice weekend!


Hello there.

Are you an NFL fan?

I wanted to become an NFL player once but it looks like it's more financially smart to become an engineer.

I love the NFL.

Interesting that engineers make more than football stars over the course of their lifetime.

Yes it is.

I am still waiting for the first female football player.

The NFL has no written rule against female players.

I bet it will be a kicker position.
What do you think?

Yeah I agree I don't think another position would be suiting.

There are so many injuries even though live gameplay only lasts 11 minutes.

Hard to believe that stat.

Green-Ellis never fumbled the football his entire NFL career.

Yeah that is very impressive.

I wonder if the NFL tracked him when he played by using a chip in the shoulder pad?

I read they use the chips to track ball speed, rotation, velocity, and location.

Yeah I wonder what they do with that information?

Maybe they use it to help improve the quarterback position?

I bet Kellen Moore has some interesting football tracking stats because he is the only left-handed quarterback.

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

I didn't realize that about Kellan Moore.

Yeah kind of interesting.

Another interesting fact is the circle huddle used in today's football was created by a deaf quarterback so the other team could not read his hand signals.

That is interesting!

Yes it is.

Baker Mayfield want to consider quitting football to pursue full-time competitive gaming.

That would've been quite the career change.

I heard he liked Halo 3.

Yet sounds like you could be anyone at the University of Oklahoma in a one on one game.

Of halo three that is.

Do you like Alex Smith?

Yeah he seems so smart.

Taking all those AP classes must have been challenging.

I agree.

Hard to believe he was a junior when he started college.

Yeah and becoming the first overall pick in 2005 is also no easy feat.

It was great talking with you today.

I agree.
Who's your favorite QB?

My favorite QB is Russel Wilson!

He is a great guy.

Thanks again for the conversation and have a good day!


Hey, Tom Brady is 41.
How about that?
Are you ready to play in the NFL.

Not at this point.
I think I'll stick to engineering.
Better career longevity.
But good for Tom!
He's in the SB again.
Getting a bit repetitive.

Wow.

Engineering.

Care to guess the highest ever scoring football game?

It was in 1916.

I would guess that some powerhouse school played a puny academic institution.

I wonder what the spread on the game was, and if the bookies took any bets.

I do not know what the betting was like.

Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0.

I would have been bored watching that.

I wonder whether Georgia Tech put in their second and third string.

The person scheduling that game must have been sacked.

I'm surprised a Cumberland player didn't get killed!

1916 was a long time ago.

Today, there are 32 teams in the NFL and a game has only 11 minutes of live game play.

Thats a lot of commercials, timeouts and flag waving.

The game really is slow.

It's punctuated with a lot of violent action, but it doesn't have the flow of basketball.

Yes.

I agree.

I know that the life time earnings of an engineer is greater than the lifetime earnings of a NFL player.

I assume the violence makes for shorter earnings potential.

I figure the concussions alone preclude a career as an engineer after the NFL.

I am surprised that there is only one left-handed QB in the NFL.

I guess I expected more, since each team has three QBs or so.

Only one left handed QB.

That is a fascinating bit of trivia.

Another fascinating bit of trivia is .. no rule against female players.

Think how wild the game would be.

I think female players could certainly handle non-contact positions such as kicker or punter.

I don't know whether they could take the serious contact of the line of scrimmage.

Art and grace in running with a ball has a place.

Or something like that.

Tom Brady is playing the first Sunday in February.

the super bowl is on.

Who is the left handed QB?

Kellan Moore is the only leftie out there.

Brad Johnson has an interesting claim to fame: he is a QB, but he threw a TD to himself.

I didn't know that was legal, but I guess the passer and receiver can be the same player.

That is an interesting thing.

I guess as a kid we all threw the ball in the air on a high arc to step forward and catch it again.

Guess what color the U of Iowa painted the visiting team locker room?

Either something really sinister or something feminine.

In it entirely painted pink.

I wonder if it makes a difference.

It is funny how many different games are kind of not football but called foot ball around the world.

Soccer, rugby and more.

I guess they could have painted it black, just like the Rolling Stones said.

Might have put the opposition in a dire mood.

Football is such a generic term.

Could mean almost anything.

I am sure kids have fun with a ball no mater what.

Australian rules foot ball must be different than rugby.

I have never seen Gaelic football, but I bet its a tough game.

Violence is the key.

I think the presence of the ball is incidental.

Just there as an excuse to pummel the other team.

Texas seems to be obsessed with high school football.

Violence or a high speed chess game?


Do you like football?

Hi!

I love football and the NFL, even though I hate the 17 week regular season that lasts from the beginning of September all the way to late December.

I wish it was longer.

What about you?

I love it , 32 teams 2 divisions and then after a long wait the Superbowl

And it is a long wait.

Ha!

It's bad enough the average game is only 11 minutes long in terms of live gameplay.

Then we have to wait a long time for the season to start again after the Super Bowl ends.

All season only to watch 11 minutes of live gameplay, seems really unfair, do you have a favorite NFL team?

I really like them all, honestly, although I don't like that silly misogynistic rule the Saints have in place that forbids cheerleaders from dining in the same restaurant as the football players.

I can't believe no lawsuits have been filed over that rule yet!

I know right, its a terrible rule and should be abolished so unfair and also so sexist

There have not been any female players drafted yet.

Yeah maybe the interested ones didn't met the eligibility requirement but it would be great to watch a woman play some day

Indeed it would.

But honestly, if they do it simply for the money, they should just enter the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players anyway.

Looks like engineers have it great they make more money and they don't risk the injuries football players do.

So true.

You know what's sad is even the top bowlers made more than the top football players back in the 1960s.

And football is a much tougher sport.

I feel for the players from that era.

They did?

I guess football wasn't a popular game back then I don't think bowlers make much money these days

It's sad especially when you have athletes like Benjarvus Green-Ellis who's never fumbled the football in his entire pro career!

They definitely deserve top pay!

Sad how many players still end up with financial problems or even bankrupt and then also with brain damage or a serious injury

I know, it is sad!

But you know, they're sticking these tracking chips in the players' shoulder pads now to record their every move so hopefully they can use it to study how to prevent serious injuries!

I think that's great, we must protect our players and make the game safer that must be like our #1 priority

That is so true.

Well since we're on the subject, are you a fan of QBs?

I like Kellan Moore because he's the only left handed QB in the NFL, which is surprising.

Its my favorite position in football and I think his retired by now haven't heard his name in a while

Yeah it's my favorite position as well because he touches the ball on nearly every single offensive play and he's the leader of the offense!

It's such a fascinating position!

I know right, calling the play in the huddle must be really exiting, being the decisive player on the team, but anyways its been great chatting with you

I bet it is tough.

That's why you need geniuses to play the position like Alex Smith who entered college as a junior.

He even received his bachelor's in two years.

That's fascinating!

Well it was great chatting with you as well!

I hope you have a great evening, friend!

He is a role model to many, proof that you can do both if you set your mind to it, hope you have a great night, thanks for all the cool facts and the conversation


hello

Good morning.

I hope you're doing well this fine Monday morning.

Do you like NFL football?

I love it.
You

I do too.

My favorite team is the New England Patriots.

How about you?

I like The Steelers.

You a Big Ben fan, then.
Cool, I like Pittsburgh.

Did you know that top bowlers made more than nfl stars in the 60s?

That's hard to believe, isn't it.

But then again the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is more than the lifetime earnings of your average NFL player.

I should say the average nfl player has a pretty awesome job though.

True, but they do get banged up pretty hard sometimes, too.

So, I guess it's a tradeoff.

I guess.

I think I would rather be in the nfl myself though.

That's cool, what position would you play, quarterback?

Or Rb.

I want the ball.

Hopefully I could go a whole career without fumbling.

Like benjarvis green ellis.

Yeah, that must have been tremendous pressure on him to never have fumbled the ball his whole career.

I sure wouldn't have been able to do it.

lol

Me either.
Wonder how many years he played.

I'm not sure, but it's still an impressive feat!

Did you watch the last Superbowl?

Yeah I watched most of it.

I just wanted the patriots to lose to be honest.

Oh, no.

You pulled against my team?

Shame on you!

Lol.

I tell you I was wore out from watching it, though.

Seemed like it lasted 3 hours.

I think it did.
Lol.

That's depressing and a lot of wasted time, considering the average NFL game has only 11 minutes of actual live game play!

Im with you there they should speed the game up a little.

Have a good one.


HI there.

I wasn't aare that new orleans saint cheerleaders aren't allowed to eat in the same restaurant as any nfl player.

The National Football League and its teams have a lot of rules!

Many variations of football too.

True, and American football is much less popular globally than soccer.

I actually like soccer better.

Maybe because I have played that as a female.

Although that can get brutal too I guess.

There is actually no rule against female players in the NFL.

No.

Iowa's locker room for visiting reams is pink  LOL

I doubt that color was chosen due to gender!

Maybe for the better, since an average engineer earns more than an average pro athelete.

I was surprised to see that top blowers in the 60's were paid more than football stars.

Things certainly have changed.

Still, quarterbacks have always made money.

Maybe because they are considered the "leader" of the offensive team?

Perhaps so.

When a deaf quarterback played, the team created the modern circular huddle.

Interesting.

And ESPN created that yellow line for the first down.

Added amenities for football.

The players are also interesting.

Alex Smith was smart enough to enter college as a junior!

Wonder if he was going to be an engineer?

I think he was always planning on playing football.

Baker Mayfield on the other hand considered full-time competitive gaming.

He's quite confident too, claiming to be able to beat anyone one-on-one in halo 3.

At Oklahoma that is.

Good thing he is not left-handed, as Kellan Moore is the only lefty qb in the NFL.

It seems like they are always playing bt there are only 16 games per season.

True, but that is over 17 weeks.

Add in four playoff rounds and four preseason, that is nearly half the year!

Nice chatting with you.
Has been informative.

No problem.

Remember that even Tom Brady could not get in a game while in JV football!


Hi, how are you?

good how are you?

I am well, do you like the NFL at all?

yes i love it Play Off Time

Apparently women are technically allowed to play in the NFL!

I did not know that but it would be interesting if she could take a couple hits

Yeah, she might be okay, the average nfl game has 11 minutes of game time!

wow I would think that number would be way higher.

yeah, but we need more commercials!

Hell no we dont lol.

They need to limit that or make the game longer so we see action not replays

I agree, there are some odd aspects.

cheerleaders for the saints cant even eat where the players go to eat!

I guess it's to prevent fraternizing.

I guess so, but still, seems like an odd rule.

Apparently Engineers make more than football players!

thats not fair all

I don't think so either, they are actually underpaid considering what teams make!

Yes that is how this life works

I suppose so, poor guys take a beating in all senses, like imagine Cody Parkey right now

I know right not fair at all

Nope, but they don't make the rules

I hear that.

The university of iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely painted pink, what you think about that

That is hilarious.
It must make them feel silly I bet.

I know kill the spirit.

did you know baker mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue full-time competitive gaming, and claims to be able to beat anyone at the university of oklahoma one-on-one in halo 3.

That is crazy, I bet the browns are glad he did not!


I am a big fan of the National Football League, even if my favorite team, the Redskins, are often one of the worst of the 32 teams

I love the NFL, my team are the vikings!

It is curious how the games last several hours when there is only an average of 11 minutes of actual game play during the event

For sure, if only they could speed up the commericals, it would make it a better watch.

Did you know woman could play in the NFL

I do though none ever have!

I wanted to be a wide receiver when I was a kid but alas it was not to be.

For sure me too lol!
Are you an Alex Smith fan then?

I am - he is definitely a smart guy - working on his masters when he was drafted

For sure and getting a degree his sophomore year of college then becoming the #1 pick.

He has done it all i guess

Yes.

He is good but not as good as Tom Brady - he has won 4 super bowls!

I think Tom Brady has won 6, he is really good!

Yes but his high school coach did not think so - he was never even allowed to play!

I know and he was draft in the 6th round of the draft, not too many people had high hopes for the guy

Yes but he is amazing.

Did you know that there is only one left handed qb in the nfl ?

That surprises me

I think it is Kellen Moore.
Vick is my favorite lefty of all time!

Yes - there was even a deaf quarterback once did you know that?

I guess the crowds would be less distracting

I didn't know that, I wonder if he had anything to do with the huddles?

yes they were invented to hide his hand signals from the other team

That is smart, and look it still exists!

Do you know benjarvus green ellis?

Does he play for the Patriots?

yep and played for the bengals.

He never fumbled once in his whole career.

That is amazing !

That is crazy amazing!

He must not have ever played for Cumberland - they once lost to GT 222-0!

I would have quit!
Good chatting with you!


i don't thik the Jets every landed Kirk Cousins since he is in Minnesota now.

The Jets had a horrible year.

Maybe landing Kirk Cousins would have helped them?

I think so.

Darnold is not the answer in NY in my opinion.

Some seem curious as to why the Jets did not want to fork over the money for a sure thing since they had the funds.

agree.

especially seeing how much Garoppolo got for only 7 NFL starts.

seems the Browns have made more progress in getting a good QB in the draft.

Minnesota was predicted to be themost appealing destination for Cousins.

yeah he went there and had an average year.

They missed the playoffs.

Cousins implied that he wasn't necessarily going for the money but he was going for the best situation.

i believe that.

the Jets are a bad situation.

he probably could have gotten $150M guaranteed which is unheard of.

This according to Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk.

CBS Sport's Jason La Canfora thought the Jets and Broncos would be finalists in getting cousins as he thought New York would bemore appealing to the quarterback.

yeah, i'm glad the Redskins did not place the franchise tag on Cousins again.

that would have been bad for everyone involved.

I see.
What is a franchise tag?

Franchise tag is when the player get the average of the top 3 salaries at your position in the league.

guaranteed money but only for one year.

players usually do not like it because it is not a long term deal and they could get hurt.

Oh, interesting.

Thanks for the explanation.

I wonder why there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL?

thats interesting.

never thought about that.

kelen moore but not sure who he plays for.

I don't know too much about football so I appreciate your comments.

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

Maybe that's why I'm not too into it.

it is crazy to think of it like that for such a fast sport.

I find it interesting how much technology there is in football these days.

i know tracking chips in helmets and pads to record moves.

probably to protect them better in the future.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.

I also find it interesing that ESPN won an Emmy for that superimposed yellow line.

i hope they just use that line to measure first downs instead of those stupid chains!

Yes, I believe it's a first down line.


Hello.

Are you aware that the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders must leave a restaurant, if a player walks in?

Even if they aren't done eating?

How archaic is that?

As someone from Louisiana and a Saints fan, I am a bit surprised at having such a arcane rule.

To me, if the cheerleaders were there first, then they should be allowed to finish the meal they paid for.

But football does have its oddities, like the University of Iowa painting the visitors locker room pink!

That's easier to deal with, though I do wonder if the Saints would give a female an opportunity to start if she met the eligibility requirements.

Well, we just broke the glass ceiling on refs with a female ref officiating in an NFL playoff game.

So maybe a female player might not be too far off if they meet the requirements.

Perhaps a punter or kicker (i.e.

a lower physical impact position) first.

Maybe.

Living in Brown's country, I'm so glad Baker Mayfield didn't give up football to become a professional gamer.

Cleveland is a team my heart goes out too.

For the longest time the Saints did not have a Super Bowl.

Now its Cleveland's turn to make it to the top.

What do you think of tech in football?

It seems like they have tracking chips in shoulder pads and balls?

I don't really know how I feel about that.

I guess it's okay,if it keeps them safe.

I wonder if they would be willing to share the technology with car manufacturers?

Maybe, but since a car moves more than 100 yards, it will need to be at a different scale.

I read somewhere that Kellan Moore is the only lefthanded quarterback in the NFL.

I know lefthanders have certain advantages in baseball (e.g.

first baseman) but do you think it is an advantage as a quarterback?

I don't know, I don't follow football very closely.

i know the games are too long on t.v., since there is only 11 minutes of live play.

I agree; too many commercials and too much armchair quarterbacking from the broadcast booth.

An innovation I liked was when ESPN created the yellow line overlay so that TV viewers can comprehend how long a drive is needed to get a first down.

Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy for the superimposed 1st down yellow line?

Yes, that must have been a slow year.

I find it impressive that Alex Smith entered college as a junior, due to taking so many AP classes.

Wish my kids were that dedicated.

He has to be one of the few that completed their education.

So many enter the NFL draft before graduating college.

That, in part might explain the lifetime earnings of an engineer exceed the lifetime earnings of an average NFL player.

I don't know.

I know a lot of them continue their education in the off season.

I know bowlers in the 60's made more than football players, that's weird too

That is a bit beyond comprehension.

In my opinion, watch in bowling on TV is a bit like watching paint dry!

I recently found out that many years ago, the NFL had a deaf quarterback.

He created the circular huddle so the opposing team could not steal his play signs!

That's fascinating.

There is a former running back for the Patriots who has never fumbled.

That's an amazing feat.

I agree.

Have you been following the Bronco's quarterback situation since the retirement of Peyton Manning?

I have not.

I barely pay attention to football, only when my son has it on.

I only know about Baker Mayfield's competitiveness on Halo 3, because of him.

I don't follow it much either.

But it seems that the Bronco have struggled putting together an offence.

They picked Case Keenum who is a bit of a unknown quantity; it seems he has been traded a lot of times.

Is Elway the one they call the "Football Czar"?

Yes, and he's Denvers GM.

So, he trying to get a good mix so they can get back to the Super Bowl.

The question is this a short term trial run with Keenum or a longer game plan?

It seems like Keenum has a short contract so he might be a placeholder until Elway finds the one he wants.

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

You to.

We have our 1st Mardi Gras parade tonight.

Hopefully the rain will hold off!


Hey there who is your favorite quarterback?

I know that I like Tom Brady, even though he's never eaten a strawberry LOL

Personally, I like Eli Manning the best.

I do find it odd that Brady has never tried a strawberry lol

I know right!

I always wonder why he hasn't tried on before LOL.

I like Eli Manning too.

What do you think about Alex Smith?

He's seems very educated.

I heard he took so many AP tests in high school that he entered university as a junior.

Smart guy

It sounds like he's a smart guy yes.

And he passed his bachelor's degree in only about 2 years, and was working on his master's before he got into the NFL, definitely a genius

I agree, it's good to be educated.

I wanted to be an NFL player but decided to stick to Engineering.

The average engineer makes more than most NFL players

That's interesting.

And yes I've heard that before.

I guess if you are an NFL player, you have to be smart with your money so that you'd lasts over your lifetime.

What do you think about the circular huddle?

Did you ever do that when you were playing

Yes I did do that a few times.

Fun fact, it was actually created by a deaf quarterback!

That is really cool, and I'm sure that he used it so that other people couldn't see his hand signs.

I wonder how good he was at football, I don't think we've had a deaf quarterback in the NFL, do you know?

I'm actually not sure.

But I do know that Kellan Moore the only left handed quarterback in the NFL.

Seems odd, you'd think lefties would be more common

You would think so yes.

I wonder if it gives him an advantage or not, do you know?

I also think it's interesting that one player almost became a professional video game player, imagine that is such a difference LOL

That is quite the difference lol!

I think you're talking about Baker Mayfield.. apparently he can beat anyone at Halo 3

Yep that's who I was referring to.

I used to play Halo 3 back in the day.

Did you ever play any of the Halo games?

I wish I could have played him LOL

I did play Halo but I wasn't very good at it.

He could definitely beat me one-on-one!

Lol

Haha yes I bet he could beat us both actually.

Do you watch bowling at all?

Apparently top Bowlers in the 60s made more than top football players back in that day

Wow!

Makes sense because Bowling was a lot more popular back then.

Also technology has come so far, the NFL uses tracking chips now to record a player's every move

Wow that's interesting.

How did those work by the way?

I wonder if anyone ever put tracking chips in bowling balls lol,

They embed them in the shoulder pads and it basically tracks velocity, ball speed, location, etc.

It's pretty cool.

Tracking chips in bowling balls would be interesting lol

LOL I agree with you.

You ever watch football on TV by the way?

Did you know that  ESPN won an emmy?

it was for developing that yellow line that you see on TV, you know the one that designates the first down

I did hear that, that's pretty neat that that they could superimpose something like that

Yes I bet that was very advanced technology back in the day haha.

I also like that the Patriots have a player that has never fumbled the ball before.

That is an insane record to me, I would hand that guy the ball all the time


so I love the fact that women can be possibly eligible for the NFL

yes...
Very much.

what do you think about them chipping the players moves?

Discover the nine best chipping tips, that will make you chipping motion dead solid.

i don't know what that means, however it is a good thing statiscally

yes... this good for us.

i love the fact about tom brady not being used as a back up qb and how he turned out..

I don't know much about football, so that is a great fun fact, what is your favorite thing about football?

I'll be honest, my favorite thing about football is a nasty, soul jarring, hit.

I love that in football you can always point at a couple teams

oh fun, that is much more exciting than the dances they do in the endzone!

very much exciting

im glad I dont watch it though.. with that statistic of only 11 min of live play, what are people watching then?

On average, American adults are watching five hours and four minutes of television per day.

The bulk of that is about four and a half hours of it is live television, which is television watched when originally broadcast.

Do you watch the Super bowl for the game or the commercials?

yes.

lol..

I don't even know who is good.

Who do you think is going to the SuperBowl?

Super Bowl LIII, the 53rd Super Bowl and the 49th modern-era National Football League (NFL) championship game, will decide the league champion for the 2018 NFL season.

The game is scheduled to be played on February 3, 2019, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

ok.. that didn't answer my question.
Do you like other types of football?
I think rugby is super fun to watch!

no. soccer

well that is considered football in other countries.. do you have a favorite player?

Neymar

thank you


Hi, how are you/

Well thanks.
What do you think of Pat Mahomes?

I think he's great!

He just won the MVP and it's only his first year starting and second overall.

He's got a bright future...

The youngest player to throw 6 tds in a game.

Thats pretty good

Yeah.

He is a really good athlete.

His team asked him to stop playing basketball because he was too good and may hurt himself...

Thats really understandable but he's young guy.

What do you expect him to do?

Especially when a lot of young guys end up in bars and clubs drunk and then in bad situations.

I think he's a good dude, by all accounts.

I heard last year he didnt do any endorsements to stay out of the spotlight because he was still the backup

I think a lot of young guys do that coming into the league.

Andrew Luck did that too.

It was interesting to see him, the number 1 pick, and the 2nd pick and how they went about their careers.

It helps that the chiefs have very talented players on offense.

Its really hard to cover all of them

Yeah.

Their weapons are really talented.

They had to cut their running back due to assualting a woman.

Not ok!

Im glad the chiefs did something.

Most teams would've tried to sweep it under the rug

Once the video gets out there, they have to respond.

The Ravens and NFL failed on the Ray Rice domestic violence issue so now everyone has to respond by cutting the player when the video gets out.

The NFL doesnt have a rule against female players.

How hard do you think it would be for them

I do not think the American public has the stomach to see a small female compete with huge dudes.

Although there might not be a rule, it would not be a good look.

Yeah as talented as you may be.

It would be really hard when the other person can weigh 3x as much as you

The physicality of the game is crazy.

The average person wouldn't be able to compete.

It would look like when Georgia tech beat cumberland 222-0.

Which is the highest score ever.

No one needs to see that

HA!
Yes.
Like that!
Good reference and transition!
ESPN won an emmy for that yellow line?

it is crazy to think how much that line has changed football viewing.

Nice chatting with you!


Hi, how are you today?

Im great, do you like foorball?
do you follow the NFL?

Sometimes.

There is no rule against women playing.

I wonder if women will ever appear in the league.

I dont think so, though I think it's interesting that there's no written rule

Women would be good at engineering.

They could make more money, and not have to deal with so many concussions.

The brain is the center of intelligence, even in NFL players.

I agree brain damage is a real danger for players, it can really play a number on them and I guess an engineer does make more money in his life time and with less risks

Plus engineers are important to the game.

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

and theres also chips on the footballs, they are used to track velocity of the ball, the rotation, spin and also the location

Better for women to be engineers than NFL cheerleaders, that's for sure.

I agree, theres an unfair rule against cheerleaders.

Yes, that's true.

Do you follow the college game?

The highest score in a football game took place in 1916 when the mighty Georgia Tech defeated lowly Cumberland 222-0.

One thing is for sure they couldnt perform worse than a team that is losing by 222 points, thats an epic loss, humiliating for sure

I would love to know the spread on that game.In the 60's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

I guess that pro football leagues were not well developed then.

Yeah it seems that way since football players earn a ton of money now, do you have a favorite team?

No, don't really have a favorite.

Some teams I dislike though.

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

I guess they think they're going to psych out the other team.

Have they won more games at home because of that locker room?

Do other teams do the same thing?

I dont think so, its the first time I hear about a football team having pink locker rooms, football seems like a scam though, only 11 minutes of live gameplay per match

Yeah, especially since the tix are so expensive!

Yeah do you follow the ESPN channel?

No, don't really follow ESPN.
Anyway, nice chatting with you!
TTYL.

I see well when you watch the channel remember this cool fact, they created the first down line,  and won an Emmy because of it

thanks!


hi how are you doing there today?
are you good?

I'm good, a little peeved at Jameis Winston saying has to teach his son to respect women when he was suspended for groping a woman

why do guys do this?

do they think that they are going to get away with it?

now?!

not likely.

I don't know, Winston was also accused of rape in 2012 when he was still in College

some people can control themselves and need to be supervised or punished.

It's ridiculous that he's engage and still acted so horribly

NFL has had a lot of problems with player behavior.

i think the league needs to take a stronger stand.

The teams too, the Buccaneers still stood by Winston despite his character history

Yes, there should be a team level punishment to drive the point home.

BEHAVE.

you are a public figure.

Yea, the only thing the Bucs did was start Ryan Fitzpatrick, but at the end of the season Winston was the starter again

the money is the thing.

you get them to pay cash and they will start to pay attention.

I guess so.

It's funny is cheerleaders are held to a more strict standard than the players, they are forced to leave if a nfl player comes into a restaurant they are in

that is sexism and misogyny.
what is that rule still around?

I have no idea.

I wonder what the discipline would look like if there were female players, there are no rules barring them

I think that women could play.

Really I twould be better to start the sport at the high school level.

Only if you have good coaches.

Tom Brady's jv coach never started him despite the team not winning a game

the man was an idiot not to see that talent.

TB was a talent in waiting.

just needed his opportunity.

So was Cumberland's coach in 1916, they lost to Georgia Tech 222-0

Why would any coach do that to a team?
it seems cruel.
Anyway, great chat!

I don't know, I wonder why Kellan Moore was the only left handed qb in the nfl

I don't know either.
Maybe coaches don't like lefties?
Have a good day!

you too


Hi!

My favorite part of the Superbowl are the commercials.

How about you?

Yes I agree with you on that!

Games are so boring, especially since they only averaged about 11 minutes of actual gameplay

I can't believe that!

Technology... it changes the world.

Consider the tracking chips in their shoulder pads...guess Big Brother is always watching!

Yeah that would scare me.

I hope that they take those tracking chips off when they leave the field, would you ever wear those outside of sports?

Not if I could help it.

I mean- with my luck, I'd be tracked worse than a Saints Cheerleader avoiding a player in a restaurant.

Yeah I don't like how they can't go to a restaurant if a player is inside.

Or if the player enters them they have to leave, that seems really unfair

It really is.

Funny how the world changes.

I can't wait for our first female NFL player!

Yes there's no rule against it!

I could see you there being a kicker soon, what do you think the first position would be?

Quarterback?

Maybe that's me dreaming big.

Then again... they had a deaf quarterback once.

Things happen!

I think that death quarterback actually invented the circular huddle, which we still use today which is awesome!

It is!

I can't believe Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback- you'd think we had more!

Yes and I wonder if it gives him an advantage as well?

You would think that Alex Smith would have a huge Advantage as a quarterback to because he was so smart back in college

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Baker Mayfield.

From quarterback to professional gamer... sign me up!

Yes absolutely!

He definitely made the right choice going into the NFL, do you know how ESPN won an Emmy though?

No!

That's awesome.

I like the fact bowlers once made twice as much as NFL players.

Can it go back to that?

I like bowling.

Yes I like bowling two, I have a better chance of being a professional bowler than being an NFL star haha.

Same!

I wouldn't be RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis who's never fumbled the football in his career.

I want him on my team!

But I also love the Patriots so am with Tom Brady would probably be so unfair haha

They need to score like Georgia Tech vs Cumberland- 222 to 0!

That game was such a blow out!

I wish that we had video cameras to record it back then, or at least ESPN could have put the yellow line for the first down marker when they were recording that game, maybe it would have helped Cumberland to win haha

Maybe an all-pink locker room (Just like The University of Iowa has!)

would have been their good luck charm?

Yeah that's possible!

Do you think that they won more games or lost more games after that happened?

I would have played a lot better if I were in a pink locker room personally lol


Good afternoon.

I think Alex Smith is a great fit for the Redskins.

What are your thoughts?

hi how are you?

I dont know much about smith or the redskins.

why do you think that?

Well I think they need to stay ahead in games.

Smith isn't the kind of quarterback who excels in a shoot outs, it goes against the style of play.

what is a shoot out in football?
lots of passing?

Yes exactly.

Like when the Redskins play the Saints they were down by three scores and people sometimes refer to a comeback like that a shootout.

Ok. so he is not big at comebacks.

he is quite a bright guy, right?

finished college in like 10 minutes or something?

Ha ha yeah basically that fast.

He received his bachelors degree in two years.

that is quite fast.
he must be a good student.
is he still playing in the NFL?

Yes that is very fast.

It usually takes four years.

I believe you still playing.

He did a lot of AP classes in high school so that's how he finished college so fast.

he is still playing.

ok. i heard that he sustained an injury.

That is a lot of AP tests!

I believe he is set to play next season but I'm not sure.

He is right-handed but Kellen Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL.

why is there only one?
that seems odd.
Do coaches not like lefties?

I'm not sure maybe the plays aren't designed for them?

Another smart quarterback is Baker Mayfield.

But he almost became a full-time competitive gamer.

I guess that could be a good way to make money.

i dont how many pros there are in gaming.

I think there's good money but probably not as good as football.

It seems like his game was Halo 3.

I have never played Halo.

i guess it must be pretty challenging.

he probably did the right thing going into football.

Yes it is a lot of fun to play I recommended.

I agree though football is the better choice.

The high score ever in a football game was 222 to 0!

I wonder what the winning coach was thinking.

that kind of score seems cruel.

Yeah I don't know what Georgia Tech was thinking that is not a good gesture.

Poor Cumberland.

Well it was nice chatting with you thanks again.

Yes, i enjoyed chatting!

Have a good one!


Do you like football?

Good evening, yes I do.
How about you?

I'm a big fan!
Do you have a favorite team?
I'm an Eagles fan myself.

Yes, don't hate me, but my favorite team is the Patriots!

That's ok.

I like them too.

In fact I'm a big Brady fan.

My one grandmother came from the Boston area there and I still have cousins there.

So I root for them.

Cool, I didn't realize how many people actually LOATHE the New England Patriots and the GOAT Tom Brady.

I actually watched his Tom vs Time documentary and I love the work ethic he puts into the game.

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

Yeah, I had heard that stat and I couldn't begin to imagine the pressure he felt to remain perfect throughout his career.

WoW!

I know right?

lol  I read that ESPN won an Emmy award for creating the superimposed yellow first down line.

Never knew they had an Emmy award for something like that.

Me either, good for them, though.

It's such a part of watching the game, it deserved that award!

I agree.

I go back and watch old games on youtube from like the 70s and 80s when I was a kid and it's just crazy how the graphics have changed since then.

Big difference between then and now, for sure.

Did you watch the last Superbowl?

I did and I was rooting for the Patriots.

I was rooting for them too last year when they lost.

Glad to hear that.

lol I swear that game seemed it lasted three hours!

lol it did.

Even towards the end.

I liked watching Belechik on the sidelines towards the end when they were figuring out what was going on with the gameclock.

He looked like he was giving the sideline judge an earfull.

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

Oh man, I knew there was alot of wasted time, but didn't think it was all that much, though.

Kind of makes me mad, now.

lol

Short isn't it?

So true!

Wonder why a woman hasn't played in the NFL, yet?

Good question.

Do you know who Kellan Moore is?

I'm not familiar with him but I see where it says he is the only left handed QB in the NFL.

Yeah, that must be an advantage of some kind?

I'm not sure if it would or wouldn't be.

lol  It's been fun chatting with you!

Have a good night and go Pats!


hello do you like football?

It doesn't really catch my attention.

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

Yeah thats disappointing lol

I also have trouble following the game.
The yellow line has helped a bit.
ESPN won an emmy for creating that.

Yes I think that is really helpful!

I hear the NFL uses tracking chips on the players and inside the football

Wow, it's amazing how much technology for football has changed over the years.

A while back people didn't seem to care that much about football.

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

That must have been a good time to be a bowler!

Right?

And I don't think any college football teams these days would lose as bad as Cumberland did.

They lost 222 to 0 to Georgia Tech back in 1916.

wow thats embarrassing.

Yeah, haha.

Speaking of embarrassing, Tom Brady's high school coach never started him even though the team was having a historically bad season.

They had not won a game or scored a touchdown that season.

Oh right I read that lol Wow did they miss that opportunity,  they probably couldve won their season lol

Yeah, I would feel bad if I were his coach since now he has won the Super Bowl several times.

Yeah probably kicking himself while watching him play every sunday lol

Ha, true!

What do you think about the $12.5 million judgement where the Rams have to pay Reggie Bush $12.5 million dollars?

Do you think the Rams are kicking themselves too?

lol yes.

Reggie Bush slipped and fell on the at Edwards Jones Dome.

He also included the stadium in his lawsuit, though they were dismissed as the judge said the Rams had control of the facility on game days.

Yeah I read.

Thats kinda like companies getting sued because someone injured themselves on their property though,  I guess its whatever.

The Rams lawyer said that Reggie Bush is one of the most talented running backs and should have avoided the concrete.

yeah I guess he wasnt paying attention

On the other hand Reggie argued that the injury cost him $10 to 15 million in future NFL earnings.

well didnt he win the 12 mil?

wouldnt that somewhat compensate for his "injuries" lol Its been great chatting.


hey do you know anything about football?

No, not a thing.

I think it is neat the way football means american football, soccer or rugby, depending on where you are.

ya I don't watch, but I do know that I like the Patriots and they have a rb who has never dropped the ball

A running back that has never dropped the ball?

So, this implies american NFL football.

It is a dull game to watch, with only 11 minutes of live game play per game.

yup I agree, also weird there are no rules against female players, would you watch that?

I think like the gorgeous ladies of wrestling, it has been done.

But I would watch some of that.

Not sure a 17 week season would be fun.

ya we would have to see, did you know engineers make more than nfl players over their lifetime?

I believe the word average is very important there.

Some players never make it big, while most engineers pull money.

I wonder why cheerleaders can not be in the same restaurant as a new Orleans saint?

ya I don't like that, they shouldn't have to leave, that just sounds outdated, what bout you?

An out dated and wrong thing.

I be some engineers use chips in players pads to track and record players movement.

Those engineers get paid more than the player.

those tracking chips scare me, I wouldn't want someone to know my every move, hopefully they just keep those on the field

On the field and the one in the ball.

To bad the balls from Tom Brandies deflate gate were not monitored for air pressure.

The ball measures velocity, rotation and location.

do you have a favorite quarterback?

and did you know Kellan Moore was left handed

I have no favorite.

I would think left handed would be an advantage.

Most players would expect the ball to be in a certain location.

Kellan would be a little off that.

The offensive team leader that touches the ball the most.

yup I think it gives an advantage being left handed, did you hear about the deaf quarterback who invented the circular huddle

Such a important innovation.

Now everyone does it.

Or maybe stadium is so loud no one can hear.

There was a QB who wanted to be a pro gambler.

Oklahoma player I think.

good thing he chose football, Baker Mayfield was going to be a professional gamer and play Halo 3

There are many things bout the game that seem like video games.

Take the line for the first down.

we expect it.

ESPN won an Emmy for its creation.

that was a great creation for sure, very useful, also I never knew Alex Smith was a genius he got his degree in only 2 years

Good for Alex.

I wonder if he picked a useful major like engineering.

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

I wonder if engineers make more than bowlers?

they do actually!

a lot more over the course of their lifetimes which is crazy!


Hey how often do you watch the NFL?

I know I watch football from time to time on TV

I watch one in a while.

I find the games boring sometimes.

They only play an average of 11 minutes per game!

Yep you're right about that!

That probably explains why the Super Bowl was a little bit boring this year haha.

Do you think that women should play in the NFL by the way?

I know there's no rule saying they can't, so I guess if they can meet the requirements, they should probably be allowed.

Yeah I can see that.

I think we could see a female player in our lifetime, it's the only fair thing, as long as they're good enough to play they should be allowed to play I think

Yeah, they might as well get a fair shot.

Some of the rules of the NFL are still sexist.

Like how some cheerleaders can't eat at a restaurant where players are eating

Yeah I don't like that rule.

I think it's really stupid and not appropriate in this day and age.

I just don't get how that one has been sued yet about it LOL, have you heard about the tracking chips that they use too

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Some things like that are so high tech.

Like the yellow first down line that ESPN won an Emmy for!

That's really genius by the way.

I'm glad they won an Emmy for that, it's definitely necessary for enjoying games on the TV I think.

But yes the tracking chips can track players movements and speed, I think that's pretty useful

I agree!

They are in the footballs and shoulder pads!

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

I don't.

What was it?

I do know that back in the sixties the top Bowlers made more than the top football players of the time.

Now that is totally reversed today.

Haha!

That's amazing!
The highest score was 222-0!
But it was a college game.

Wow that's crazy!

What year did happen?

I would have loved to see that game haha.

Do you think that the losing team had their locker room painted pink perhaps lol.

I guess the University of Iowa's football team did that to the opposing players

It was way back in 1916.

That's pretty funny, actually.

I wonder what the visiting teams thought of that.

Yeah I wonder that too, what do you think about the Patriots by the way?

Did you know that they have a player who's never fumbled the ball?

His name is BenJarvus Green-Ellis

I am kind of sick of them being in the Super Bowl every year, it's boring!

He must feel a lot of pressure never to get his first fumble!

Yeah I agree.

I would feel so stressed every time I played haha.

what do you think about Alex Smith by the way?

Man is so smart, he got his bachelor's degree in only 2 years and then went to play for the NFL

That's pretty cool.

He was the first pick in the 2005 draft, too!

Oh that's cool!

I really like the story behind the circular Huddle, it was created by a deaf quarterback in order to block the other team from seeing his hand signs, that's really cool

That's brilliant, actually!

There is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL.

I think that's Kellen Moore right?

Also there's only one quarterback who is almost going to be a professional video game player, and that was Baker Mayfield, I think he made the right decision haha.


Good morning.

Good morning!
Do you like football?

Yes, I love football.
Do you?

I've never really watched it.

Although it seems the QB here is pretty smart.

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

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

Wow, that's cool.

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

Trauma!

The circular huddle used in todays american football was created by paul d. hubbard, a deaf quarterback, so the other team could not read his hand signals.

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

isn't that crazy?

Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl

That is hard to believe.
Wow.

I know!

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

That's crazy.

An average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay

I know!

and it last about 2.5 hours!

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

New orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any nfl player and if they are already dining at a restaurant and an nfl player comes in after, the cheerleaders are required to leave.

Isn't that crazy?

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

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

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

I always wondered how they knew how fast the ball was flying!

Yeah, technology has really helped them.

a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in the first Sunday in February, and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

wOW, THAT'S NEAT.

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

Sports commonly called football in certain places include association football (known as soccer in some countries)

Thanks for the information.
I enjoyed.

me too!
Have a good day!

You as well

Can you click done?

yes, i think so.


Hello do you like football?

I do!
I'm a big fan!

Oh good,  yeah football is very entertaining.

Yes it is!

The University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room pink.

Wonder why they did that?

I think its a mental tactic,  like to make them feel calm or something

That would make sense.

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

I'm sure that's not like that any longer.

Yeah I doubt it also,  bowling isnt what it used to be.

Football players get paid a ton lol

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

Talk about a blowout!

Ouch,  thats embarassing!
Thats a huge loss!

No doubt!

ESPN won an emmy for creating the yellow superimposed first down line you see on tv while watching games.

I didn't even know they gave out emmy's for something like that.

Honestly me either lol But good for them that digital line has been really helpful on screens and tvs.

Yes!

lol Former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball in his NFL career.

Impressive!

Thats crazy,  how does someone not fumble for their whole career,  thats great.

There is also only one left handed quarter back in the nfl weird huh

I'm not sure.

lol  That is amazing that there is only 1 left handed QB.

The huddle was invented by a deaf quarterback

What was his name?
I can't remember it.

paul d hubbard

Nice!

The NFL has no written rule against female players.

Wonder if we will see one ever?

maybe,  but there's too much injury in football

True.

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

Relatively short compared to how long they stretch the games out.

It's been fun chatting!

Great chatting,  have a good one.


Hello there, are you a fan of the NFL?

I am actually, its wild that an NFL game only has about 11 mins of gameplay on average

Isn't that crazy, I think you notice all the stops and stuff more when you attend a live game.

ya I haven't been to a live game in years, what do you think of the way the Saints cheerleaders have to act when outside of the field?

I think that rule is a bit outdated.

I think they should have standard rules within normal laws that everyone else follows.

ya I agree, it's so dumb they have to leave a restaurant if a player walks in for instance

Exactly.

Did you read that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average NFL players?

that is crazy, but NFL players also don't play their whole lives they retire early, so who knows

I think that is what it is, is that the engineer's career is far longer than the average NFL career.

yup exactly, also crazy is the NFL could one day have female players

I think that would be so cool if a female player did make a pro roster.

I think it would huge for young sports fans.

ya, I think a female could become a kicker or maybe a quarterback, we shall definitely see

That would be cool to see a female quarterback one day.

haha ya maybe she'd paint her locker room pink like the Iowa team did for opposing players haha

That is so funny, I wonder who was in charge over there that gave the final ok for it, or if they just did it as a prank and then officials left it that way.

haha ya I do wonder that, I also wonder how a team can lose in football 222-0!

That is just insane.

I wonder if they just scored a touchdown on every single play?

ya I don't know, but it would suck to be a Cumberland fan on that day and get destroyed like that haha

Yeah I wonder how many fans were actually still there when the 222 point was scored?

oh ya, if I were a Georgia Tech fan even I would have left when it reached 100 to 0 haha

Right lol.

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


Are you a fan of the Ravens?

Not a huge ravens fan, you?

I like football though and luckily there are 32 teams so plenty of variation.

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

That is surprising I don't even know of him.

But I do know Baker Mayfield, and he sounds like he was a big gamer.

Interesting, is this the guy that was going to be a video game pro?

Yeah he apparently loved to play Halo 3!

Interesting, is that for PS4 or Xbox?

I have neither but was interested in getting one of them.

Xbox I believe.

He claims he could have beaten anyone at the University of Oklahoma.

Interesting, did he get paid for doing this?

I don't believe he did.

Another smart quarterback was Alex Smith!

He took a lot of AP classes.

I think he was working on his masters degree before being drafted.

Very impressive.

He was the first overall pick in the 2005 draft!

yeah, that seems pretty cool.

The average NFL game only has 11 minutes of gameplay.

So many ads for all that?
Also girls are legally allowed to play!

They are.

And they also put chips in the players shoulderpads.

No wonder they get such accurate stats and info about players movements on the field.

Yeah, apparently there are chips in the balls as well.

Pretty crazy if you ask me.

Oh wow.

And they can track velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location.

Cool.

Yeah, it is pretty cool.

Although I'm not entirely sure what you would do with all that information.

Well, it was nice chatting with you!

Yeah I would like to know that too.

Knowing the NFL they use it to make more money!

You as well there partner.

Exactly, probably some type of advertising gimmic.

Take it easy!


Hi there, do you watch the NFL much?

Hey!

I love the NFL, but sadly don't get to follow it much, how about you?

Yeah same here , but I do watch some of the games.

DO you know who Baker Mayfield is?

Isn't he the quarterback who almost quit football to have a career in competitive gaming?

Yup that is him.

ANd he still says that he can beat anyone at U of Oklahoma in Halo 3

Wow, I have heard about that, lol...pretty cool!

But being a quarterback has probably been the better choice for him.

Do you know who Kellan Moore is?

Yeah , isn't he the guy who is the only QB in the NFL that is left-handed?

Yep, pretty rare!

Kinda rare like Patriots R.B Benjarvus Green Ellis who never fumbled a football ever in his entire NFL career!

What a talent.

DO you like Brady too?

Heard he was a backup QB in high school and they never started him.

I am a huge Tom Brady fan.

That is crazy!

Big mistake on their part by not letting him play.

He is an amazing QB.

Exactly, he has come a long way for sure.

How about Alex Smith?

He is talented and super smart it seems

Exactly, he is very smart.

Kinda like the huddle that was created by that deaf quarterback!

Yeah that is so cool, what a way to communicate with your team while others have no clue what you are saying.

Right!

genius.

Football has come so far, it is crazy how pro bowlers used to make more money than top football stars.

Crazy!

I k now, things have changed so much now for sure.

Did you know women can play in the NFL?

I have heard that because the NFL allows them to play if they meet their requirements which I can't imagine a female wanting to go up against such huge men lol...could happen though.

I think it's awful that the cheerleaders are not allowed to eat in the same place as the New Orleans Saints....

That rule is so wrong and the worst part about it is the fact that they have to leave mid-meal if the players walk in

I know!

Not right, makes you wonder why... that surely can't be how it is in today's times, but you never know what rules are hidden within the NFL ...

Yeah I am not sure either, I just hope it goes away soon.

On a happier note, they are putting tracking chips on the players now to record a variety of things

I have heard that the NFL is doing that, to track the players moves and the Football velocity and rotation...very clever!

Yeah, hope they can use that to reduce concussions and such too.

Nice chatting with you.


Do you think that tie games in the NFL are good, bad or are you indifferent?

Indifferent.
A lot of people think it is fine.

I really don't like sudden death types of dealing with it.

There should be a clear winner.

Why do you think so?

Some people think that a tie should not be seen as less satisfying.

I was referring to a sudden death victory.

I wasn't clear - there should be more time on the clock.

A tie is OK with me.

I am not an expert.
However, I admire some NFL teams.

I prefer college when it comes to American football.

The excitement in things like "going for it" is the same.

I prefer college footballs better - no money is involved in it.

Do you know that NFL has no rule against female players?

Agree.

I did.

I wonder if the NCAA does.

It's probably more of a university-by-university rule.

Probably.

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

What do you think about it?

I played football in HS and there's a lot of standing around so I believe it.

What I can't believe is that the U. of Iowa has a pink locker room for visitors.

I heard about it.
Why do they do that?
Why pink?

I heard there are colors that calm and subdue like pink.

Some jails are that color.

Causes for design... Huddle are circular since a QB named Hubbard was deaf.

It makes sense for me if one isn't deaf.

I read about it.

He did not want the other team to read his hand signals.

Makes sense... What doesn't make sense is that Georgia Tech, my alma mater, ran up the score 222-0 against Cumberland.

Not too proud of that...

Are you serious?
But Georgia Tech won though.
Shouldn't you be proud?

Maybe if it were Alabama but to humiliate poor Cumberland isn't too cool.

Like not letting Saints cheerleaders dine around Saints players doesn't seem too cool.

You are funny.
Cumberland humiliated themselves.

So your not one for chivalry -- it seems to be dying like masculinity.

Things change...

In the 60's, top bowlers made more than top football stars.

I read about it?

Now bowlers make pennies compared to football players.

That makes sense.

Bowlers don't have to stare down a 330 lbs.

guard.

Nor do they have to constantly reach ESPN's yellow line.

Do you want to continue?

I'm good.
It was nice chatting with you.
Talk to you again next time.


Hi do you follow the NFL?

Yea, the Giants are my favorite team but I keep up with all 32 teams

Nice!

I'm a Steelers fan.

How about Odell being traded to the Browns?

He's an awesome player but becomes a liability due to his temperament, the Giants aren't gonna be doing too well even if they kept him I just wish they got better picks for him

I agree.

That trade caught me off guard when I saw it last night.

Now on to some facts..lol  The University of Iowa painted their visitors locker room comlpetely pink.

No idea why!

Maybe Iowa thinks the pink locker room will cause the visiting team to play worse

lol  Maybe.

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

Way different now I'm sure.

Yea I never even thought bowlers made much money, let alone more than football stars

I know!

I think bowling was really popular back then along with horse racing, boxing, and baseball.

All 3 of those sports have changed in fan attraction over the decades.

Yea, sports are constantly evolving, like the invention of the circular huddle by Paul D Hubbard

Was he the deaf QB who invented it so the other team couldn't read his hand signals?

Yea, I wonder if the only left handed QB Kellan Moore invented any special techniques

You would think he would have something different in his delivery of the ball.

Yea, I wonder if Alex Smith has different mechanics considering he's really smart, he started college as a junior

That's a great story of his!

Once in he completed and graduated with a bachelor's deegree in only 2 years!

Yea he's a smart dude but I'm not so sure about Baker Mayfield, he considered playing games professionally instead of playing football

I know that sounds crazy.

How about former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis.

He never fumbled the ball in his nfl career.

That's pretty cool, I wonder if playing for Bill Belichick had any thing to do with Green-Ellis never fumbling

Might have.

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

it was nice chatting by the way.

I know Georgia Tech scored 222 point back in 1916, I wonder if they cheated at all

Haha maybe they did.
What a blowout!
Sorry I have to run.
Have a good day!


Hi!
Do you follow football?

Hi, somewhat.
Do you?

A little here and there.

I enjoy it more when my team is doing well.

I hear that.

No fun to watch a bad team.

I guess the Chargers are doing pretty well.

I agree.

Their last victory over Arizona sure was dominant!

Yeah, 45-10 is no joke!

Not as big a victory as Georgia Tech over Cumberland in 1916.

Did you see that score?

Yeah,  I am not sure how that is even possible!

Its like they were scoring the whole game!

When you break it down they probably had to score like a touchdown a minute or something?

Guess Cumberland's Defense didn't show up that day!

Yeah, nor their offense.

Probably a lot of defensive points scored too.

True.

If they were playing at Iowa I would blame their performance on the color of the visitor's locker room.

Pink!

I wonder what shade of pink it is?
More powdery, neon, magenta like?

Good question.

My guess would be whichever messes with their opponents heads the most.

Speaking of colors, did you know ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow line?

No, I didn't know that.

It has completely changed watching a game on TV.

Makes it easier anyway.

It certainly does.

When my mom when to my brothers first live HS game she didnt understand at first why the line wasnt there.

That's funny!

I can't believe benjarvus gree-ellis never fumbled.

That seems impossible!

It does.

I wonder how many carries he had in the game.

Even some of the greats fumbled a bit.

That's another good question.

It'd be WAY less impressive if he only had a couple of touches a game.

Or per a short career.

Very true.

Hard to believe Tom Brady sat on the bench in high school!

It is, they definitely didnt recognize the talent and potential in front of them!

No doubt, I bet they feel like fools now!

It's been fun.

Have a great day!


Are you a fan of the NFL?

I am, especially the Vikings!
How about you?

I like the Redskins, but I'm from that area.

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

That is crazy to believe because there have been so many great left handed quarterbacks in the league!

Yeah, there has been.

I wonder if it is a function of setting up the offense?

Maybe its because a lot of plays go to the right?

I would be curious to see with all the technology they have!

Yeah, that would be pretty cool.

Apparently there are chips in the shoulder pads.

Is that so?

Is it to track player movement on the field?

I think it is, but I'm not sure.
They also have chips in the ball.

That is awesome!

I heard that it tracks velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location!

Interesting.
Is the data shared with both teams?

I'm sure it's for the league haha.

Maybe ESPN uses it too.

You know they won an emmy for the yellow line?

For the first down marker?
That's pretty cool!

It is!

Did you ever hear about the Georgia Tech and Cumberland game that was 222-0?

That would be sad to see haha.

WOW!
That is a crazy score, is that real?

It did!

in 1916 lol.

They must have been psyched out with their locker room being pink like the Iowa Hawkeyes do to their opponents.

Hilarious, you would think that would make the other team angry though.

I bet!

Would you rather been a football player or bowler in the 1960's when bowlers made twice as much as football players?

That would be pretty crazy, I'm actually not a bad bowler.

Well, nice chatting with you!

I'm a terrible bowler haha.

Nice chatting with you as well, have a great day!

You too!
Have a good one!


Hello, how are you?

Good, how about yourself ?

Pretty good, do you know anything about football?

Yes, I do..

So, I am trying to understand what's going on with article section 1.

Whatever Galette has caused, he slowly ranked lower...

I heard Junior Galette from Washinton might be a free agent next year.

Interesting,... agent for one of the players?

He going to see if a new team wants to sign him next year.

He probably won't garner much interest, because he's very injury prone..

True, since he injured his achilles.

Plus his sack numbers were down.

He use to be good when he played for the New Orleans Saints, but I think his best days are behind him.

Well, he seemed overwhelmed from the start.

His current team really cut his playing time, which according to him, limits his opportunity to sack the quarterback.

And his fans are rooting for him to go back to the Redskins, however, that is not easy.

Junior Galette  has had a slew off trouble off the field.

He was even accused of domestic violence.

I think from there, he slowly went downhill.

Plus, there are a lot better young players on the Redskins, namely Ryan Anderson.

That is true, but it is sad for Galette to see the reality of his consequences that were caused from his past.

Hopefully if he stays with the Redskins he can return to his former glory.

He did rank third on the team in quarterback pressures.

He needs to step up his game.
Get more training and keep his head up.

There is a loyal fan base in Washington, I'm sure everyone wants to see him do better next season.

I agree.

Hopefully, he browses through this to keep his spirits up.

This will remind him how much his fans believes in him.

I'll be rooting for him.


What do you think about the Baltimore Ravens?

They just drafted Lamar Jackson

I'm not a huge fan because I'm a Bengals fan lol.

Same division.

I'm surprised they got rid of Flacco.

Yeah I'm surprised too.

who is your favorite quarterback by the way?

I always loved Tom Brady haha

My favorite is probably Patrick Mahomes.

Yeah he's good too.

I also like Baker Mayfield a lot, especially because he used to play Halo 3 which is one of my favorite games

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

No I didn't know that, I wonder if it gives him an advantage though?

I do know about Alex Smith, he's actually really smart and almost got his master's degree, he even got his bachelor's and only two years before he was drafted

Alex Smith is an awesome guy.

Did you know Russell Wilson is still under an MLB contract?

No I didn't know that, how do you think that works?

Would they actually try to use him?

I like football a lot more than MLB anyway

Not too sure how that works.

I don't think they would actually use him.

Well that's good.

I wonder if the NFL would ever use a female player?

Do you think that will happen in our lifetime

I saw they don't have a written rule against it.

I bet we will see a female kicker before long.

Yes I could see that.

I just don't know that an NFL game only lasts 11 minutes of Live gameplay, you'd think that it would last longer because it can take up to two hours on TV

That is crazy it is only 11 minutes of gameplay.

Well that is crazy.

But also crazy is the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player, it's lower than the average earnings of a engineer.

Now that is crazy haha

That is very crazy.
I would have never guessed that.

I would have not guessed that cheerleaders would have to leave a restaurant if an actual player from their team came in.

Did you hear about the New Orleans Saints?

And the cheerleaders for them?

That's interesting.

I heard many teams have rules around players and cheerleaders.

Rules seem unnecessary but I also don't play football haha, I wonder if there's a rule against painting a locker room pink for instance

LOL I wonder if that works?

I wonder that too!

I wonder if the University of Iowa's record improved or got worse after they painted the opposing team's locker room pink


Hello!
Are you interested in football?

hi how are you?

I have talked about football quite a bit recently.

I guess i am still interested.

LOL

Agreed!

I watch frequently too though.

I did not know that the average game has only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay.

those players have a pretty sweet job!

standing and waiting then they get to beat each other up.

sweet!

Not sure how I would handle the same job.

They have tracking chips ni their pads to know their speed for a reason.

yes, i hope that helps prevent injury and concussion.

the game takes a toll on the body.

i would rather be an engineer.

Yea, its a hard game to play.
Why an engineer?

they make good money over the long haul.

plus fewer concussions.

LOL

Exactly!
I can run, but couldnt take a hit!
Do you have a favorite team

at the moment, no.

I usually just root for the underdog in the superbowl.

i like to see upsets.

Me too.

I wish I could have seen the RAms win this year.

The Rams had a great team, but it is hard to beat Tom, Bill and the gang.

It was a boring game because both teams played defense quite well.

yeah, a defensive battle is not a crowd pleaser.

people want touchdowns.

Yea, like when Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222-0 for the highest score recorded in a game.

what was going through the coachs head then?

that is a horrible thing to do to another team?

Might not be completely intentional.

Happened in a game here in the upper Midwest - like 80+ points for one team.

Happens when one team gets all the right bounces.

true, but the coach should put in the third string or something.

even the cheerleaders maybe.

Could be fun to watch for some.

The NFL does that with second/third string

yeah, its only fair.

if your team is winning by that much, you should ease up.

it is a sport, not a war.

anyway, great chat!

You too!
Have a great day!


did you know there is a university team whose visiting locker room is painted pink?

Yes.
I did know that.
It is Iowa.
I think that is great competition.

Ya I would like to see some stats to see if that, on average, affects the players, I bet it does, also crazy that in the 60's bowlers made more money that football players back then

True.

It is value based on audience.

The NFL has the eyeballs now.

I do love that yellow line that ESPN added to football broadcasts.

ya that's interesting, I also like that the huddle was invented by a deaf quarterback, I wonder how he would call an audible if he was deaf though?

He would call the audible by talking.
Only he would not hear it.
ESPN got an Emmy for that yellow line.

ah that makes sense I guess, I don't like the nfl personally, it doesn't surprise me that there are only about 11 minutes of actual gameply in the average game, I think it is pretty boring

I agree.

I greatly prefer college ball with many more plays.

The global family of games called football all have some way to score involving kicking.

It is pretty minor in US football I think.

Yes that is true, also surprising is that in the nfl there is no written rule against female football players, and that women could play if they met the league's requirements

Wouldn't you be embarrassed to be the coach of a JV team.

never win, never score, have Tom Brady as you back-up QB and never let him play?

yeah that would be embarrassing, also its crazy that on average an engineer makes more in his lifetime than the average nfl player, I wonder if its because of the injuries they can get

It is just a short career.

The average running back lasts 4 years.

The QBs today make a lot though.

Imagine if Baker Mayfield had quit football to be a gamer.

He would not have been cashing the big checks that he does today.

Ah interesting, that is true, I saw that Baker was the Halo 3 champion of his college, I was really good at halo 1 and 2 I won a lot of tournaments when I was younger, did you ever play games?

Never played Halo, but I went to Oklahoma University so I watched every college game he played.

Alex Smith took so many AP tests that he entered college as a junior.

My grandson is taking a lot which will save his parents money.

ah that is good, I took 4 ap tests when I went to college and passed all of them, so I saved money, still have some student loans but it is more managable than it otherwise would be haha

Do you play NFL fantasy football.

You play 17 weeks from Sept to Dec even though each team only plays 16 games.

no I don't play that, I have friends who do and they always lose money haha.

I did see that there is political fantasy that you can play, on whether each side passes certain bills and such, that's probably more to my liking because I follow politics more than football

It is hard to be an optimist when one follows politics closely.

We are so polarized.

I would not mind giving political fantasy a try.

Yes I agree, it is bad because it can make you depressed but unfortunately it interests me and has an actual affect on my life, so I pay attention to it, do you play fantasy football?

No.

But my grown son plays in 5 leagues and makes between $500 and $800 each year.

well that is impressive, I know there is luck but apparently skill if he can win that consistently, anyway great talking with you!


Hi, how are you?

I'm good.

But just frustrated with the Buccaneers for losing so horribly to the Bears!

I don't know much about football, though I've heard some things.

Are you a big fan?

I watch it from time to time.

Do you know what a quarterback  (often referred to as a QB) is?

Yeah, that is the most important position on the team, right?

Touches the ball on every play?

Exactly.

But you see, the main quarterback for the Buccaneers didn't get much chance to play against the Bears, and that led to their disaster!

Makes me so upset.

That's too bad.

Who are the big name QBs in the league now?

I'd say the best has to be Tom Brady.

But did you know that his high school team never even let him play!

What?

That's strange.

How did he get to play in college then?

I thought you had to be a star to do that.

I have no idea.

But I think the Buccaneers' defensive coordinator Mike Smith needs to go back to college!

He let Tampa score six touchdowns against them!

So dumb!

Well, that should be the end of his job.

There are plenty of high school jobs out there I'm sure.

Maybe he could coach a girl's team.

Ha ha, true.

And oops, I meant he let the Bears score six touchdowns, my bad.

My anger got me flustered there ha ha.

The nfl has no written rule against female players.

Do you think we'll ever see women players?

We could!

Maybe one or two in the future.

If they ever play against the university of Iowa then I'm sure they'll appreciate the pink locker room there!

I guess maybe the Bucs defensive guy would suffer from Pink lockerroom syndrome or something.

Some kind of syndrome, that's for sure.

They've got a lot of issues.

One of their players, Winston, was even accused of groping a woman a few years back.

Sad state they're in.

I don't understand the need for that behavior.

Maybe that's why NO Saints have a rule about cheerleaders with players.

Yeah, maybe that's why that weird rule exists ha ha!

Do you think they actually force the cheerleaders to leave when a player walks in the restaurant?

I have to wonder what the consequences are.

The players might get fined, or the cheerleaders fired, or something.

I don't know.

It seems sexist.

Very sexist, indeed.

I think they need to use one of their bye weeks to think over that rule and update it to meet modern standards.

True.
Anyway, great chat!

Same to you.

Hope you have a better day than those Buccaneers had.

Bye!


Do you like football?

I do.

I am a fan of the Ravens and Lamar Jackson.

You?

I like the patriots who are like the lannisters of football

I have never heard of the Lannisters.

I do know that the Ravens are implementing the pro-style offense after watching Philadelphia tear apart the Patriots defense with it.

Oh lannister is a reference to games of thrones

Gotcha.

We have a great center named Bozeman  - he was on Alabama when they won the national championship.

Which position do you follow?

I like watching all of the players - sometimes the quarterback hands it off to the running back, other times he does a pass to a receiver.

I also like how the quarterback is the core of any offensive

Yes the quarterback makes the decision about what to do depending on what the defense is doing.

He is in charge.

I wonder how hard it is for kellan moore as a lefty

Yes he is the only left handed quarterback.

Alex Smith is a quarterback who was working on his masters degree when he got drafted!

he is smart!

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

Yes so they could hide their signals from the other team!

That is brilliant I think!

I wonder what paul hubbard's performance was like though

I am not sure.

Probably better than the other quarterback in Tom Brady's high school.

His coach would never even start Tom!

Either he hated tom or just wanted to spare him the humiliation since the team was having the worst season in history

Yes that is pretty crazy - especially since Tom went on to win 4 Super Bowls

Wasn't he like the biggest steal in nfl history?

Without a doubt - the Super Bowl is the ultimate championship in the NFL and he has won it 4 times

Indeed.
In any case, thanks for chatting.
I hope you have a wonderful day.


Did you watch the playoffs this weekend for the NFL?

I didn't, you?
Did the panthers win?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

The Saints and Patriots won.

The Washington Redskins had been humiliated by the Saints in a prior week

Did you see this game?

The Green Bay Packers got trounced by the Detroit Lions.

I watched the Eagles get beat by the Saints...too bad.

The Redskins coach Jay Gruden told Les Carpenter the team has a "cloud looming over our head with issues we have to clean up."

I don't think they cleaned them up because I didn't see the Redskins in the playoffs.

Did you?

No, I don't watch Football myself.

I do see this too.

Josh Norman, the highest paid player at the position, is "in love with being a celebrity right now and not necessarily being a football player."

With that much money and attention, that must be what one aims for.

New England had the seventh-worst pass rush in the NFL this season but still made it to the play-offs

Apparently the patriots have trouble getting a passer.

Thats got to really affect the game they play.

Maybe they need some pink in their locker rooms like the University of Iowa visiting football locker rooms.

That way the bright colors can waken them up.

They need it!

The patriots also have the 7th worst pass rush in the NFL.

Yes, that's what I said previously.

I like how I know when the team will get a first down because of the yellow line superimposed on the field.

Did you hear that ESPN invented that and got an Emmy for it?

I'm sorry, I didn't see that earlier.

I did hear that about ESPN.

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

Must be a fantastic player.

I'm surprised I haven't heard more about him.

The circle huddle was created by Paul D. Hubbard a deaf quarterback so other teams couldn't get his hand signals.

Great idea, huh?

Very good idea!

Totally remade football.

Glad he gets the credit for it.

Did you see the female football ref?

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

She is huge.

I bet she could play football.

No, I didn't know that.

That is cool.

Did you hear about the highest score ever football game that was 220-0 with Georgia Tech winning.

That had to be in the very beginning of football since An average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

Top bowlers in the 60's made twice as much as top football stars.

Did you know that Tom Brady went to  junipero serra high school?

Yes, that is correct.

I heard they didn't even start him at quarterback and now he's a 4 time super bowl champ!

I wonder if it hurt his confidence back then?

Alex smith sure is smart too.

It must have made him work harder.

You're not kidding!

Smith took so many AP tests and entered university as a junior.

What a hard-working individual.


Good morning!
Do you watch football?

Morning!

I do!

I try to watch it every week during the regular season.

How about you?

Same here!
Do you watch college football?

nah not really, thats a little bit too much for me to follow and the teams are always changing around

Oh that's too bad.

Those games can get really good!

Speaking of, the highest scoring football game ever was a college game.

Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916.

holy cow!

I wonder how that happened haha thats such a huge amount of points scored

It really is!

I wish there was a video record of it to see just what happened.

I can only guess that Cumberland had no defense whatsoever.

I know Id like to watch that game and see what happened.

Did you know Snoop Dogg wrote the fight song for his high school team?

haha it must have been a good song

I didn't know that!
That's pretty cool!

and apparently the highest paid people in the US defense dept are all football coaches from the service branch teams.

That seems unnecessary to me

You know, it does to me too.

In the defense dept the highest paid people should be the people defending the country.

Back in the '60s bowlers made twice as much as football players.

I wonder how much bowlers were paid?

or how little a football player was paid.

it is definitely the opposite today

That's for sure.

Now football is so popular that like you said, coaches in the defense dept are high paid and tv stations can win emmys for making yellow lines.

well the yellow line ESPN made IS revolutionary and changed the televised game forever for the better

True and I love it too.

It makes the game much more exciting to know just how far a team has to go to get that first down.

It's just, an emmy?

eh I dunno!

they give out some strange awards apparently haha

I guess they do at that!

Oh hey, have you heard about the university of iowa's locker room for visiting teams?

yea I heard it was painted pink, must be some kind of psychological warfare!

I think so too!

It's kind of funny in a way also.

I like that they are so blatantly obvious with their warfare.

I know right?

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

No!

I had no idea!

Honestly though, I guess I just don't pay attention to what hand they throw from.

Sounds like I may need to.

Well, it's time for me to go now.

It's been great chatting with you!

Have a great day!


Hey do you think the Rams will go undefeated this year?

hi how are you?
Um, I dont know.
how did they do last year?

I think they played pretty well last year, but right now they are at 8 and 0, and it is halfway through the year so they have a chance to go undefeated

Well, i guess they could.

i dont follow NFL too much until late in the season.

Well let me ask you this who is your favorite quarterback?

I like Kellen Moore because he's left-handed haha just like me

is he still in the league?
i wonder why there is only one lefty.

Yes I wonder that too.

And I think he is but I'm not 100% sure, what do you think about Alex Smith by the way?

Is he the QB that did college in like 10 minutes or something?

Haha well he passed a lot of AP tests and was working on his master's degree before he was drafted so he's definitely a genius

Wow.

the guy has the kind of mind you need for QB.

is he still playing?

I think he is.

But I don't watch a lot of football so I'm not one hundred percent sure.

do you know how the circular huddle was invented by the way?

I figured it was just a basic part of the game.

No it was actually invented by a deaf quarterback, he would use the Huddle to block the other team from seeing his hand signs

Oh, i guess that makes sense.
i am amazed that he could play.
he must have been quite good.

Yes he probably was.

It's interesting though that women are actually allowed to play in the NFL if they qualify, there is no rule against them playing

I can't imagine a women who meet the physical requirements to deal with the contact positions.

maybe kicker?

Yeah I think a kicker could be possible.

It's crazy though that they use tracking chips on players and the balls now, that way they can track the location and speed of the players on the field, hopefully they use this to help prevent injuries

I think the data could be used for many purposes.

Maybe it could help with safety at the college and high school level too.

Yes I hope so.

Did you hear about how cheerleaders are treated in the NFL?

Apparently they can't even dine in the same restaurant as a player without having to leave

No eating with players?
odd outdated sexist rule.
Anyway, great chat!

Yes it was a great chat!

And keep an eye out for BenJarvus Green-Ellis on the Patriots!

He's never fumble the football and I hope he never does!


Hey there how often do you watch the NFL?

You watched on TV or do you go to games

Both.
i go to games occasionally.
not as often as snoop dog, but i go

Haha I agree with you.

I do go to games but it's very rare.

I mostly watched them on TV.

Did you know that the average NFL game only lasts about 11 minutes if you are counting the live gameplay?

That seems so short

whoa.

i want a refund.

but these days even a high school stadium cost 60 million bucks..so im not holding my breath

Yep I wouldn't hold my breath I there haha.

Do you know any engineers btw?

apparently an engineer will make more, over his or her lifetime, then an NFL player.

That's because NFL players get injured and definitely don't work their entire lives

Plus, there isn't risk of injury like there is in football.

Perhaps the engineers can tweak those chips embedded in the players uniforms to measure brain injuries

That's a good point!

I wish that all those brain injuries weren't the case, but it is good that they use those tracking chips to measure things like speed and acceleration of the players.

I just hope that they take those off after they leave so that they're not tracked in their normal lives

yeah...dont want the wife to know where ur going.

Haha that's a good point.

Did you hear about the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders though?

Definitely a weird thing in my opinion, how they have to leave restaurants if players are there

i wonder if they got chips in them too.

then they can be warned before entering the restaurant

Haha I guess they should do that.

Then they could be sure that the two are never in the same room.

Who is your favorite quarterback by the way?

well I like the way Sam Donald recovered from his first pass...but Russell Wilson's so versatile he could play baseball

Yep that's a good point.

Do you Baker Mayfield by the way?

He was a big-time gamer and almost went pro, but at the last minute he changed over to playing football

wow.

almost as impressive as throwing a td pass to yourself

That sounds incredible!

Who did that!

I want to watch a video of it.

Also sounding incredible, is Alex Smith, he actually finished his bachelor's in two years and was going for his master's before he got drafted

Brad Johnson did it.
Won a Super Bowl.

Oh that's cool.

Have you ever bowled or watch bowling on TV before?

Apparently top Bowlers in the 60s made twice as much as top football players, there's a complete reversal

wow.

alex smith should give it a try.

he's smart enough to learn anything fast

Yep I agree with you.

I'm sure he was smart enough to use the circular huddle, by the way that was invented by a deaf quarterback!

interesting.

smarter than a circular firing squad no doubt.

its not rocket science but there has only been one rocket scientist coaching in the nfl

That is interesting.

I wonder if he's the best coach or not LOL.

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

Maybe that was the rocket scientist coach LOL


Hello there, do you watch the NFL

Hey!

Yes I do.

sad the season is over.

I watched the super bowl, it was just ok this year.

How about you?

I am actually from Seattle so I love the Seahawks but unfortunately they didn't live up to the hype!

Nice, yeah I watch the games sometimes.
DId you know women can play too?

Yeah I didn't know that was allowed to be honest.

I think they are smart by not playing-it is a brutal game.

I think they should be qb if anything because they are the most protected.

Yeah I guess.

Would be interesting to see them in the game.

I mean it only lasted for 11 minutes

True.

And I hope they wouldn't do it for the money because the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than a nfl player-just too many injuries I think.

Especially if there were girls, they just aren't built the same.

Yeah I guess a career in engineering is a smarter choice.

Did you hear about that rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?

Yeah I guess they don't want their players being distracted?

Interesting tactic for sure.

They sure are protective of their players.

The nfl even puts tracking chips in shoulder pads!

Yeah I hope they can use those statistics like velocity, rotation and such to improve the game and reduce concussions

Yeah me too.

They really need to do something.

I like high scoring games but the highest ever reported football game was 222-0.

I couldn't believe that.

Seems unsportsmanlike.

I know.

I bet you Georgia Tech still brag about that.

What a game that must have been

Yeah I am sure.

Another crazy college football fact is that University of Iowa's locker room for visiting teams is painted pink.

Wow, that does not sound nice.
Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?

Yeah for creating that yellow first line marker!

I think they deserve it that was a great creation and changed the way the game is watched for sure.

Yeah that is true for sure.
Do you know Benjarvus Green-ellis is?

Oh yeah the Patriots running back who never fumbled the football!

That is truly amazing.

That is for sure.

What a guy.

And did you know Kellan Moore is the only QB that is left handed?

That's surprising.

I would think there would be more.

The player Alex Smith took so many AP tests in high school that he entered college as a junior.

What a smart guy.

I know, must have planned his life pretty well.

Good for him.

DO you know who invented the circular huddle?

Very interesting.

Yes Paul Hubbard apparently because he was deaf and needed a better way to hear.

And they even now use it to this day.

Just became a tradition I guess, funny how that works!

I know, what a smart guy.
It was really nice chatting with you.
