Hello, Do you like football?

Not really.

I watch it because my kids do.

I was not impressed that ESPN won an emmy for those superimposed lines.

Oh really, I know my family loves football and goes to the games.

I didn't realize there is only 11 minutes of live game play.

But it makes sense.

I think its hilarious that the top bowlers in the 60's made more than football players.

I know, right!

Thinking the visiting teams don't like the pink locker rooms at the University of Iowa.

That is just dumb, lol.

Is it true that the highest score ever was 222-0?

Makes you wonder why the coaches didn't stop the game.

I was thinking the same.

Why sit there that long never getting ahead.

But that was 1916.

Was that Georgia Tech?

Yeah, They need to change that rule that the cheerleaders have to leave the restaurant if a NFL player comes in.

I agree.

Baker Mayfield almost didn't become a Brown's player.

He wanted to become a competitive player.

Really, They must feel there's too much togetherness in the same restaurant.

lol

I think it's archaic and insulting.

Especially since they have to get up and leave, even if they haven't finished their meal.

Omg!

yes....At least have a plan before you got to the restaurant to prevent it.

Alex Smith entered college as a Junior.

That's awesome he was able to take so many AP tests in high school.

Agree, he's smart too!

Didn't know a deaf quarterback created the circular huddle.

Those hand signals.

That is interesting.

What do you think of the tracking chips in the balls?

Seriously, those should have been used on "deflate gate".

You're right!

and the shoulder pads.

Great for tracking.

I thought there was more than just one left handed quarterback.

I wouldn't know.

I only follow Baker Mayfield, as I too am good at Halo 3

lol, really!
Yeah, understand that!
Have a nice night!
Good chat!
!

Thanks, you too

Enjoy playing Halo!
!


hey there, do you like the nfl?

Hey, I like and pay some attention.
How about you?
Do you watch NFL?

yeah from time to time mainly superbowl.

i mean it is only 11 minutes of actual game

It's very surprising about 11 minutes.
Have you ever been on stadium?

No I just watch it from the tv.
how about you?

I also just watch.

Did you know that the NFL has no any written restrictions against female players, but they have to meet some requirements.

I'm wondering what kind of requirements it could be

I tihink as long as they can pass the test like male players do they can play.

I am not sure though

I also know that NFL player makes less that an engineer if we check lifelong time.

It's something I also didn't know.

Yeah you think they get paid a lot but they do not really

It's just surprising, because there lot of money in this industry.

Really really a lot

yeah .

did you know about that rule of cheerleaders for the saints not being able to eat in the same restaurant as the players?

It sounds really weird.

What if they already here with friends, family, etc?

Just stupid rule.

It doesn't make sense for me.

me either so strange.

did you know university of iowa locker room is pink?

No, I didn't know.

I didn't know that the highest score in history of football was 222-0, but long time ago.

Did you know that?

No that must have been a really terrible loss.

who was playing?

Georgia Tech against Cumberland.
Georgia won

wow good for them what a win.

do you have a favorite player position in the nfl?

Not really.

I guess every position has some interesting aspects.

But I know a lot of people like quarterback

yeah that is for sure.
do you know alex smith?

Yes, I know something, but not a lot.

Do you know something interesting about him?

he graduated in two years from college.
it was nice chatting with you


Hello!

Are you getting as excited for the NFL playoffs as I am?

I am, who are you a fan of?

I know that a lot of people don't like them, but probably the New England Patriots.

Speaking of the Pats, Tom Brady wasn't even put in as QB on his JV team in HS that lost all of their games!

That is kinda crazy, Alex Smith entered college as a junior and got his bachelors in 2 years, made his college qb career short.

That is pretty amazing.

I think he still had some eligibility, but to think of graduating in two years!

Or you could be like Baker Mayfield who almost became a full-time gamer!

Makes you think some people are just good at everything.

Did you know that there was once a deaf quarterback?

There was a deaf defensive lineman at Nebraska, but didn't know about a quarterback.

How did he communicate with his teammates?

He used hand signals, that is where the huddle originated, to prevent others from seeing his signals.

That is really interesting.

As the leader of the team, I bet that really helped get everyone in sync!

Right!

Interesting fact, there has only been one left handed QB in the NFL, Kellan Moore.

I wonder why that is.

I think he is the only one right now.

I am pretty sure there were others, but maybe there just aren't a lot of great ones coming out of college?

That would make more sense.

Soeaking of college football, here in Iowa we have the visiting teams locker room painted pink.

I am actually in Nebraska so I knew about our rivals' pink locker room.

It's amazing what teams will due to get an edge.

Isn't it.

Hey you mentioned liking the Patriots, I can't believe that Green-Ellis has never fumbled the ball in his entire career, that is amazing.

It's pretty much unheard of.

To think if it was the 1960s these players would be making less than top bowlers.

Bowlers make nothing compared to NFL players.

But their careers are usually so short and they certainly make the teams money.

They really invest in these players, but you are correct.

The average earnings of an engineer over his life is more than an NFL player.

Really weird to think of it that way.

I think Antonio Brown may have shortened his career a lot after this weekend.

He's an elite player, but obviously has some real issues with Tomlin and the Steelers.

You know your football.

I hope that he finds a home where he is comfortable.

Steelers are out now anyhow, guess I'll watch hockey.

Hockey is fun too and I usually wish I watched it more.

Have a good one!


Do you pay attention to the NFL playoffs at all?

Yes I do.

Which of the teams were you rooting for this year?

I watched a few of the games, and there was a lot of potential in a lot of the teams that makes me want to keep my eye out for them next season

I thought the Rams were a good contender and also the Kansas City Chiefs.

I think it all boils down to what quarterback has a good passer rating.

True!

It definitely would have been interesting had it been the Chiefs against the Rams.

The QB is key in those games though

I know what you mean.

Take Andrew Luck for example.

He's the quarterback for the Colts and he's the 10th most valuable passer of the year.

I wonder if the fact that Kellan Moore is the only lefty NFL QB affects how the team has been doing the past few years

Could be, then again perhaps not.

There has been a deaf quarterback back in the day.

He's the whole reason the teams get into huddles.

I wonder how well that team did overall.

He seems like the kind of guy who could adjust well to the circumstances around him

Yes he does and the team with him.

They figured out that by huddling they could keep opponents from reading his hand signals.

Some football players are smart like that.

For instance, Alex Smith was working on his master's degree by the time he was in the NFL draft because he started college as a junior

He started college as a junior?

I guess he was really working in high school not just on football but on education too.

I guess if you take all the AP classes while in high school, college can be shortened by two years.

He must have been a good player too to be the first overall pick in 2005

Speaking of good players, have you heard of baker mayfield?

Not only is he a great quarterback but also a great gamer.

He thought about going professional on video game competitions.

Football probably pays more though, and gaming is a good Plan B if the NFL route doesn't work out

That's true.

Football pays good now but in the 1960s bowlers made more than players.

Do professional bowlers still make money nowadays?

It seems that ESPN has changed the popularity of football, especially with that first down line they invented that made it easier to viewers to keep track of the game

It definitely does.

I think it adds to the excitement too because you know just how far they have to go to get their first down.

It was a good enough invention to win an Emmy.

Sometimes it's the simple things that make a difference

That's true lol!
Do you watch any college football?
They had the highest scoring game ever.

I don't, but wasn't it back when Georgia Tech played Cumberland in 1916?

It was, georgia tech scored 222 unanswered points!

I feel bad for the guys on Cumberland's team.

At some point they must have given up


Good Evening!

Good evening, I can not believe that the Bengal line backer has not been suspended for the late hit on Antonio Brown during the Pitsburgh's win Sunday!

Strange that the Super Bowl is now over and the Burfict issue comes out again.

He played college ball out here and was just as volatile as he is now - probably will get kicked out of the league soon.

Yeah, I agree it is too bad that the Burfit issue is arising again.

It was a little childish of him to lie and accuse Smith Schuster of spitting on them

He's a menace and a liability for the NFL who are trying the move away from the dirty players and appeal more to Mom's who don't want their kids to play because it's too violent

Yeah I agree, it is too bad that it is appealing more to mom's who do not want their children to play football due to the violent nature of the sport that is promoted on social media.

It is interesting to note that there has been discussion about how the NFL should possible consider increasing rules about hitting players that are not quarterbacks.

Yeah, they're stuck in a tight spot and if you make the game safer and less violent, they may lose fans.

But if you don't have kids playing football anymore, they wont grow up to be NFL players - their talent pool dries up!

I agree, we need kids to playing football and they need good role modles to teach them how good sportsmanship!

I would also love to see more females players on the football team because technicallywomen are allowed to play on the team as long as they meet the league's eligibility requirements.

Interesting point about women, I didn't think about that angle.

I know some women have been college kickers and had aspirations to play professionally

Yeah, I think it is really too bad that they are not considering female athletes who are just as capable as men in the sport.

Young female youth need more female athletes as their role models that they can aspire to be like.

Totally agree, I have two daughters and love the role models they have in Soccer and Basketball now.

It would blow their minds to see a woman on the football field.

I think it's great that they have female refs/officials in the NFL & NBA

I agree, having female refs/officials in NFL & NBA is a great start, but I definitely would love to see more athletes.

Another interesting fact is that the Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is painted pink.

What?

That's pretty sexist and demeaning  regardless the sport.

I would think that will be repainted soon in today's climate - I don't like it!

Really?

I kind of disagree, because I think it is a smart strategy that they use in order to give themselves an advantage during the game.

Therefore, from a game point perspective painting your opposing team's locker room pink is a great move!

Interesting point - any advantage a home team can get over their opponent.

I was thinking it may be antiquated in today's PC climate.

That is a very good point, it would really be interesting to see data about how the opposing team is impacted.

For example, maybe they could analyze the tracking chips found on the shoulder pads to record a player's every move on the field.

Ii would think there would need to be a psychological measurement of the affect of the pink walls.

I've heard about the chips in the padding and I wonder why they don't put chips in the ball to indicate if a ball breaks the plain of the endzone or sideline?

Apparently they do use the tracking devices inside footballs to track the ball's velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.

I guess they do not advertise that as much during official games though.

Fascinating how technologically advanced the game is in some aspects, but antiquated in officiating where they missed 3 penalties on one play in that Saints-Rams game!

Yeah I can't believe that they missed that even though the technology has become so advanced.

You would expect them to track all this data especially when there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay.

That stat has always baffled me - 11 min of action.

So much downtime and wasted time!

I agree, that would explain why the Superbowl commercials are so popular.

It is because most of the game is just watching advertisements, with only 11 minutes of real live action.

Super bowl commercials were so-so this year.

The Burger King / Andy Warhol one was the most memorable one for the wrong reasons!

I did not watch the super bowl commercials this year, but heard that they were very boring.

A lot of my friends told me it sucked this year and was a waste of time to watch

Overall your friends are correct.

I wasn't a fan of either team and watched it with friends, beers, food, good times - terrible game!

That's disappointing to hear, hopefully next year it will be a better game!

Maybe - but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Patriots again... winning... boring as it might be

Yeah, they are a tough team to beat.

Maybe one player will decide to quit like Baker Mayfield did in order to pursue a full-time competitive career in gaming.

That may give he other teams a chance to make it to the super bowl!

I had no idea that Mayfield wanted to quit football and be a pro gamer - where would the Browns be without him!?!?

I agree, in fact Mayfield even boasts that he can beat anyone at the game of Halo 3 if they played against him in 1 on 1 game

That's crazy, even though I have not idea about Halo 3, he's a pretty good QB

Yeah, I agree, he has been a great quarterback since he was at the university of Oklahoma.

He's great.

Hey, it's been awesome chatting with you!

Yeah, he is, I would also love to see more left anded quarterbacks.

I fins it fascinating that Kellan Moore is the only one on the NFL who is left handed

I'm not sure I know who Kellan Moore plays for!?!?


Good afternoon.
Do you like the NFL?

hi how are you?
i sometimes watch the NFL.
You?

Yes I usually watch every Sunday although I didn't watch all 17 regular season games this year.

I didnt get a chance to watch this year.

i heard the game was a bit slow.

Yes it was.

The Super Bowl that is.

Did you know there's only actually 11 minutes of life gameplay?

i heard that.

it seems too little for so much money.

i guess there is alot of time for commercials.

Yes I very much dislike commercials.

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

I cant imagine a woman playing in a game with such big guys.

seems dangerous.

Yes it seems very dangerous.

Cheerleading isn't dangerous though.

Although the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can't eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player.

that rules is outdated and sexist.
it must be from long ago.

Yes it really is.

It needs to be changed!

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

I would feel more comfortable if women had careers with  less physical risk, like engineering.

Less chance for concussions as well.

Yes absolutely.

It is a tough game.

I'm glad they get paid so much but in the past professional bowlers made twice as much!

That was a golden age for bowling.
that will never return.
i guess i was born late LOL

You a big bowler?

I think it's a fun sport.

Former NFL running back Green-Ellis never once fumbled the football!

I wonder if he is good at bowling?

He probably would have trouble letting go of the ball!

LOL

Ha ha yes good point.
You know that circular huddle?
That was started by a deaf quarterback.

a deaf quarterback?
why would he need a circular huddle?

Good question.

So the other team cannot read his hand signals.

It was really lovely chatting with you today.

That makes sense.
I guess he would need to do that.
I enjoyed chatting too.

Have a good one!


hi, do you watch football?

Yes I do, I follow the NFL closely what about you?

from time to time.
did you ewatch the superbowl?

I did watched the Superbowl my favorite team was playing, did you watch it?

did anything special for the game?

we had a party so that was enjoyable.
did you know women can play?

They can play?

thats new for me, you know players have chips in their shoulders!

yeah that is so cool, can collect lots of statistics

I agree, it is cool, cool how tech can be implemented to a game, footballs also have tracking chips and you can learn all kinds of interesting stats out of them.

yeah.

did you know engineers earn more than football players

I didnt, football players earn a lot of money so thats hard to believe I guess engineers also make a lot of money

yeah they do and I find that really fair actually

I think its fair as well afterall engineers study for a long time, its fair like ESPN winning an emmy for the yellow line that represents first down on football

yeah I guess.

do you know the highest score of a football game?

I dont, whats the highest score in a football game?

222-0, that was a crazy win and loss for the other team

Wow, that is a ridiculous win 222-0, what team was bad enough to lose by that score?

georgia tech beat the cumberlands, what a win

I agree, did Cumberland retire from football after that defeat?

I know I would lol

must have, I have no idea really?

I see, well did you ever watched Benjarvus Green Ellis play?

no but i know he never fumbled a football.

nice chat


hey there, do you watch the nfl?

I do.

Some call it the National Football League.

I call it the Never Football League, since they only actually play a few minutes in each game.

I know only 11 minutes of play time yet we are glued to the tv for so long watching those 11 minutes

Over 17 weeks, that means one team only plays 189 minutes per year.

And if you are a punter, maybe 3 minutes?

something like that.

did you know women can actually play if they want

Like any sane woman would want that?

You know they televise the players age and weight every week?

I think it is more about the violence in the sport.

It is a dangerous sport really

Yes it is.

They put tracking chips in the helmets so that they can tell the spouses the precise velocity of the helmet that caused the concussion.

yeah the technology even for sports has come a really long way now

Yeah, they monitor the speed of the football, the location of every player, and whether cheerleaders are in the same retaurant as the players...a no-no if you are a Saint!

I find that really strange and they even have to leave mid-meal if the players walk in

I hope they at least get a doggie bag!

Bowlers don't have to put up with such rules!

You know, back in the day, bowlers made more money than NFL players, but that was years ago...

yeah that is interesting too.

speaking of football, espn won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line

A virtual line.

That means they got an Emmy for nothing.

The players do all the work and they get recognized for imaginary lines.

I know right?

do you have a favorite player position in nfl?

Depends on the team.

32 teams and they all play the game a little diferent.

On a running-centric team, I admire the tailback and fullback positions, as well as the offensive linemen.

On a throwing team, the QB is often the most admired.

How about you?

yeah i am going to go witht he quarterback too.

did you know brady was never put in the game in high school

Wow.

Epic fail for that coach.

You know, Brady's fellow teammate, Ellis-Green, never fumbled the ball even once during his entire career as a running back with the Patriots?

That is admirable!

I know that is.
do you know alex smith?

Smart dude!

He had earned so many AP credits in HS that the college took him as a Junior.

Now he uses his brain in the huddle as QB in the NFL...

Good for him talent and brains.
nice chatting with you


Hello there, are you an NFL fan?

I am!

I like how Ben Roethlisberger has the most franchise wins for the Browns and he plays for the Steelers lol.

Are you?

Yeah big Ben sure has dominated the Browns his whole career.

I am a fan yeah but mostly of my fav team.

Who is your favorite team?
Mine is the Vikings!

Nice!

Mine is the Packers so we have had our fair share of good games.

I agree!

I remember when Brad Johnson played for the Vikings.

He is the only quarterback to throw a touchdown pass to himself!

Yeah I remember that!

I was a big Brett Favre fan myself, he had some good games for your Vikings.

Even better days with the Packers haha.

I do like watching college too.

Can you believe 14 of the world's 25 biggest stadiums are for college teams?

That is pretty crazy, did you know the visitors locker room at Iowa is pink?

Yes I've actually been in it!

Very cool and funny at the same time.

It's not as cool as that high school stadium in Allen Texas that cost 60 million dollars to build!

Holy crap that is just insane!

I don't think other colleges or high schools around the world have such big stadiums.

Makes you wonder if they could have spent it elsewhere, or even if they are good haha.

I can't believe Matt Patricia was a rocket scientist before the NFL!

Wow that is very interesting, rocket scientist to football, what a switch!

You would think he would get bored coaching at that point haha.

I also can't believe there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL.

That is a crazy fact about the NFL, do you know the story behind the invention of the huddle?

Wasn't it formed because of a deaf quarterback?

I forget his name though!

Paul d. Hubbard, yeah good call!

I think that is probably the coolest fact about football.

I wonder if they ran around to each player to give them the play back then haha.

Do you know how they stretch the flag across the field every game?

Yeah thats a good question lol.
I'm not sure, do you know?

With a lot of people haha.

It weights 1100 pounds and cost 50000 to make!

Holy crap!

Well it's been fun and interesting talking with you, I hope you have a good day.


hi, do you watch football?

Yes I do, what about you?
do you like it?
follow it?

sometimes.
did you know women can play?

I didn't but I guess I'm not suprised because it makes sense that people might be concerned for a woman's safety in football.

It's amazing how much we spend on stadiums

that is true.

do you know how much game play there is in a game?

I dont know, maybe 40 minutes I guess 5 minutes arent really gameplay but ads.

yeah that is for sure, lots of downtime there

Yeah, there is a lot of wasted time in games, its unbelievable how much the flags at football stadiums weight!

for sure.

do you know abot that rule for new orleans cheerleaders?

No, what rule do they have concerning cheerleaders?

they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the players

That is really unfair, that rule should be eliminated and the team should receive a fine for even having a rule like that, it makes me so angry!

me too it is so sexist.

the worst is they have to leave mid meal too

I agree, so do you know who Kellan Moore is?

is that the only quarterback that is left handed?

He is, the only left handed of the league, Brad Johson is another curious character, how did he manage to give himself a touchdown pass lol

I would really like to see that, how he did i

I wonder if the video is available at YouTube, another interesting fact is that only two african american quarterbacks have actually won the Superbowl

yeah that is curious for sure.
there are so many players of color

Yeah Dough Williams and Rrussel Wilson apparently both of them played against The Broncos, theres another interesting fact about Rusell, want to know more about him?

sure what else do you know?

Ok so he is still under a MLB contract even though he has not played in regular season since 2011 and even got traded in 2018


Do you like football?

hey there, yes I do I like Kellan Moore espeically

I hear he is the only left handed QB in the NFL.

yup thats true, I think it give him an advantage, do you know the history of the circular huddle?

No, what is it?

it was a deaf quarterback, he'd use it to cover up his signing from teh opposite team

Interesting, so they had to hide the hand signals?

yup exactly, did you hear that Baker Mayfield was almost a professinoal gamer instead of a quarterback?

No, I wonder how much he would have made?

It can pay fairly well.

ya I agree, did you know how popular bowling was in the 60's?

It was so popular that bowlers made more than football players.

yup twice as much, do you like the patriots?

they have a player who has never fumbled

I'm not a fan, I don't hate them, but they aren't my team.

what do you think about the highest scoring football game of all time?

the score was 222-0 thats crazy

I can't believe it, given that the average game only has 11 minutes of gameplay.

thats true, that seems so low though, kind of like the lifetime earnings of an nfl player compared to an engineer

I'm not surprised, engineers can make a lot and bad football players make very little.

that is true, what do you think of the strange rules with the Saints cheerleaders and players?

I think that rule, while strange is pretty common, they have it for my home team too.

oh

Well nice chatting with you!


Well, hello there!
How's it going?
Ready to chat?
Do you like that there football?

Hi there, yes I do like football.
Did you know women can play in NFL too?

I've heard as much.
But will the day ever come?

I am not sure actually, we will have to see.

I mean all they have to do is play for 11 minutes

11 minutes of action.

Years of training.

Maybe women could be kickers or something.

Maybe men could be cheerleaders too.

Yeah why not.

Did you know engineers actually earn more over the lifetime than football players?

Engineers are in demand!

Women should become engineers, not football players!

Fewer concussions.

Yeah and better pay it seems.

I guess it makes sense since the career of a football player is shorter too

The career is short and dangerous.

Hard to be an engineer when your brain is broke.

What do you think of U of Iowa's little trick?

Hm curious about it.

I know pink can be distracting so I wonder if that was the reason

Pink was meant to calm them down, turn them in pacifists!

It didn't work as far as I can see.

they didn't win no Emmy for a pink locker room.

True.

What do you think about ESPN winning an Emmy though for the superimposed yellow line?

That is the highlight of ESPN's career.

They will never exceed that achievement.

In fact, TV will never get better than that.

A yellow line!

Imagine!

I know.

I find it kind of strange but as well, good for them.

DO you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?

Is he a football player or something?

Yeah he played for the Patriots and is the only guy to have never fumbled the ball in his career

I hope that he got a bonus for such outstanding play!

Must have been tough.

Everybody probably tried to get him to fumble.

Yeah, that is true.

Did you know bowlers used to make more than football players?

Bowlers have the ideal athletic build, that's why.

Beer and pizzas and big shiny ones.

That's all you needed back in the 1960s.

I guess that explains it.

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

No I don't, what is it?

It was pretty high for sure, 222-0, that is insane.

Nice chat


Do you like Football?

I have never been fond of sports in general.

Are you referring to gridiron foot ball, like we have in

Yes, I am.

I'm not such a fan of football either.

Football has gained so much popularity in the last few decades.

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

A current NFL player makes less in a lifetime than an engineer, But an NFL player probably works alot less years.

That's true.

The football players have to learn to manage their money well for the rest of their lives.

I assume that's difficult for many.

that is probably true for most sports, The engineer makes more than a MLB in their liftimes.

Following everything that goes on on the field in football is hard for me when I watch.

Sometimes I wonder how scoring can be objective.

It's interesting to know that players and footballs have tracking chips.

Having the yellow line for the first down makes it easier to watch.

Yes, you're right about that.

It's interesting that ESPN won an emmy for creating that!

The technology makes it more fun and easier to follow.

I wonder what they use the the chips in foot balls and shoulderpads to do.

The shoulder pad chips record the players every move and the footballs have tracking for velocity, ball speed, rotation and location.

Technology is neat!

they spend lots of effort to track stuff in the 11 minute or so of live game play.

Right, it is crazy how little game play there actually is.

Maybe that's part of the reason I do not like football.

The quarterback touches the football for most offensive plays, but that doesn't mean the other players have much contact with the ball in the 11 minutes.

There is a lot of pressure on being a quarterback.

I guess that's why they are paid more.

It was a deaf quarterback who invented the circular huddle, so the other team couldnt read his signals.

That's interesting to know and cool that they continue to use this method.

Most quarterbacks are right handed, there is only one leftie currently in the NFL.

Interesting.

I wonder why that is.

Do you think that pep talks help lead into victory?

Swearinger of the Redskins certainly does.

His teammates say he is a fire starter and a maniac but it seems to help them win.

Usuaal calling a person "Crazy" and a "Fire starter" are not compliments but his teammate used those phrases as a compliment.

Right.

It's fun to see how passionate some NFL players are about their game.


Are you a football fan?

Some what but i don't get to watch it anymore like i use to.

I hear that.

Out of the 32 teams do you have a favorite?

I'm a Steelers fan.

I was Green bay when i watched.

They have 16 weeks of game play and each team gets a week off.

Nice.

I like how Green Bay is owned by the community.

The NFL has no written rule against female players.

Maybe one day we'll see one on the field.

Maybe as a kicker?

That's possible although im surprised we haven't already.

Personally i think they should have their own league like the wnba.

They did at one time.

I used to watch it a few years ago but it seemed like it was more for show.

They wore shoulder pads but at the same time they were wearing shorts to show off their legs.

Can't remember the league name.

Did you know that there is only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay in an average NFL game?

I did know that and it is hard to believe.

The tracking chips are also in the footballs as well as the shoulder pads.

Seems like they are getting way too deep analyzing the game.

Did you know that ESPN won an emmy for creating the superimposed yellow first down line?

I did and that line brought me great joy, lol.

The super bowl is usually played the first week of February.

Yes.

I look forward to the Super bowl every year.

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

I do not.
Was it a college or pro game?

It was a college game in 1916.
Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0.
Talk about a blowout.

Wow, i would have not wanted to be on that bus ride home and sure it was the longest ride ever.

You know that the Iowa universities visiting locker room is painted pink?

lol yes.

They must have did that to try to mess with the opponants.

How about Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?

He has never fumbled the ball once during his career!

Now that is an achievement!

Do you know if he is in the hall of fame for that?

I don't know.

Curious to find out though.

There is only one left handed QB in the NFL and that is Kellan Moore.

I'm not familiar with him.

Me either.

did you know at one point bowlers made twice as much as top nfl players?

I didn't.

I wonder what the pay difference is now?

Did you know that the circular huddle was created by Paul Hubbard who was deaf so the other team could not read his hand signals?

Oh ok that makes sense.

It was in the 60's that top bowler made twice as much.

I doubt that they make any where as much as them now.

I bet they are nowhere close.

lol  Baker Mayfield almost quit football to pursue a full time career in competitive video game playing.

That would have been crazy.

It was nice chatting with you.


hello do you watch football?

Hey there I watch football from time to time.

I watch the Super Bowl for instance.

What about you.

What do you like to watch?

I dont really follow football, but I watch the 49ers sometimes.

Yeah I'm in Michigan so I mostly watched the Lions.

Although they suck haha.

I do like Tom Brady though.

Apparently there are different variations of football.

Did you know that?

Different variations?
what do you mean?

There are other variations of football such as Australian Rules, Rugby Football, or Gaelic football.

I don't know how those work but they are different versions for sure

OOOh I see.
I thought u meant in american football

Haha nope.

I must have misspoke maybe haha.

Do you like Snoop Dogg?

He made a fight song for his son's football team

I used to like some of his music, That is pretty cool of him to do that.

Yeah it is.

Would you go to a football stadium that cost $60 million to build?

Even if it was for a high school?

Yeah probably just to see what it looked like.

Football generates so much money.

Yep it does.

It's also crazy that 14 of the 25 largest stadiums in the world are all American football team stadiums

That is impressive.

Although,  football is not popular all over the world so I guess that makes sense.

No you're right.

Do you know the Department of Defense?

The top three most high salary employees are all football coaches somehow

Football coaches are part of the department of defense?

since when?

Yeah I know right.

That's definitely a lot of taxpayer money.

What about quarterbacks.

Do you like any of them?

I dont know many current quarterbacks except tom brady and eli manning.

Yep I like Tom Brady a lot.

I also know there's a quarterback named Kellen Moore and he's left-handed.

The only left-handed player in the league

wow thats pretty weird stat.

I cant believe theres only one left handed qb in the whole nfl.

I know right.

I wonder if it gives him an advantage or not.

Also weird stat, only two black quarterbacks have ever won the Super Bowl.

I wonder why that is what do you think

Its been good chatting.


Hello are you a fan of the NFL?

Not really.

Football seems overly complicated to me and it doesn't seem like there's even that much playing going on in a typical game

No.

That's becasue there's only 11 minutes of actual gameplay during a game.

Who do you think makes more over their careers..an engineer or an average NFL or MLB player?

If I had to guess, I'd say an engineer.

They provide valuable services to our society and sports players are trained athletes but their jobs are really to entertain us

You're right!

They make more over a lifetime.

Did you know that the NFL has no written rule prefenting female players from playing?

I wonder if we'll see one any time soon?

Really?

I always assumed they did, like MLB.

That's why women can only play softball -.-

I'm thinking that maybe we'll see one get in there as a kicker.

Did you know that they put tracking chips in the footballs to record data like velocity, rotation, etc?

I didn't know that, but it makes sense after "deflate-gate."

I don't think we'll see a woman playing anytime soon, though.

Maybe they would like to play at the University of Iowa where they visiting locker room is painted pink.

Wonder why they did that?

Maybe to sike them out.

Although maybe that backfired - if it's hot pink, that's a very stimulating color, and pale pink is very relaxing.

Should have painted it orange which is off-putting

True.

I was thinking maybe for breast cancer awareness.

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

I guess people had better attention spans then and wanted to watch a slower-moving sport.

People back in the day weren't too smart, though.

A high school football team had a terrible season and never even thought to use their second string players - and one of those was THE Tom Brady.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

Speaking of something terrible....Cumberland must have felt like that after Georgia Tech beat them 222-0 in 1916.

I think that's called a shut-out, right?

Hopefully they've recovered in the 100+ years since then lol

lol Benjarvus Green-Ellis must have been pretty good.

The former Patriots running back never fumbled the ball once during his career.

That seems impressive.

Even more impressive: ESPN won an emmy just for superimposing a yellow line on their broadcast.

Must've been the early days of special effects

Yes.

Amazing how far tv graphics have come.

QB Baker Mayfield almost quit football to pursue competitive gaming full time.

That wouldn't have been a smart move.

Competitive gaming?
Like video games?

Yes.
Isn't that crazy?

It is.

I mean, he would've sustained less brain damage had he gone that route.

Long term issues from head injuries in NFL players is a huge issue

Yes.

They seem like they are taking steps to address it.

I have to get running.

Loved chatting with you!

Have a great day!


Hello, do you like football?

Yea but I don't know if Alex Smith is a better qb than Kirk Cousins like coach Gruden said

hmmm I'm not sure,  I dont know kirk cousins.

He was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, Cousins didn't really have a good season

Oh I see.

I hear alex smith took so many ap tests in high school he entered a university as a jounior.

Yea Alex Smith is really smart, before he was drafted he started a master's degree

Thats impressive.

Tom Brady is a pretty smart qb too, it's a shame he never got to start for his JV high school team

yeah their loss,  they might have won that season lol

Or at least score a touchdown, hopefully Jinipero Serra High fired that coach

Apparently,  there is only one left handed qb in the nfl

Yea, Kellan Moore, I actually saw him on one of the football show on espn not too long ago

Oh nice!
Does he still play?

I really don't know if Kellan Moore still plays, I think he's just espn's only left handed football analyst

Thats cool.

Did you know in the 60's top bowlers made almost twice as much as football players?

Nope, I knew in the 60s football players weren't paid much but I didn't know bowlers made more

Kinda crazy,  considering football players pretty much risk their health every game.

Yea and an nfl game only averages 11 minutes of live gameplay, Boxers go longer than that

Yeah 11 min over a span of 3 hours, thats really long.

Yea, I wonder if they will ever have females player in the NFL since there are no rules against it

That would be something.

I guess if she is qualified I say let her play.

Its been great chatting,  I learned a lot.


Do you like American football?

Oh yeah, I am a huge fan!

I am a Packers fan so Aaron Rogers is my quarterback.

Nice.

Quarterbacks seem to tend to have a higher IQ than a lot of other positions, which makes sense since they are in a leadership role for the offensive team.

Yeah, that is a good point.

They have to learn all of the plays for the entire team.

The QB is the one guy who knows everything going on or at least is suppose to know it all.

Totally.

They're responsible for calling the whole play in the huddle.

Yes, they have a lot of pressure.

Ya know the NFL doesn't have a rule against female players.

Yeah, I love that.

Though it's a pretty sexist industry, given the rule the Saints have with the cheerleaders.

Yeah, they can not be together or seen together.

For instance if the players are somewhere that the cheerleaders are at then the cheerleaders must leave the location.

That's offensive.

It sounds like women are better off becoming engineers, as they make more money over a lifetime than a professional football player.

Wow, yeah the money part of the game is wild.

I know that Alex Smith is one of the great QB's who is really smart and makes a lot of money.

Does he?

I would think since he got all the way to his master's degree before entering the draft, he would've lost out on some money.

Ya know, if he had just entered after high school.

Yeah, that is a really good point.

I agree with you.

He was the overall 2005 draft pick.

Baker Mayfield was the overall pick from OU last year.

We love the college OU team, too.

Can you believe Mayfield once considered quitting altogether to pursue a gaming career?

What?

That is crazy.

I can't even imagine what his parents would have said to him.

I guess college kids all like gaming.

Right?

Yeah, he says he can beat anyone at his college in Halo 3.

Not sure how you can make much of a career with that!

Yea, I agree with that statement!

lol.

The University of Iowa painted its visitors locker room pink, another type of game, I guess.

Just another example of the sexism in collegiate and professional football, I guess.

Can you believe bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much money as top football stars did?

That is a shame for sure.

Not fair at all.

Salary was not fair for the toll it took on the players bodies.

I don't think bowling was too hard on the bowlers in  comparison.

I'm not sure.

It would be an interesting study.

I know tennis players have a lot of wear and tear in their bodies from the repetitive motion...

I wonder what happened to bowlers bodies over the course of 15-20 years swinging a 10 pound bowl back-and-forth.

Hmmm, good point.

The NFl has put chips into the gear in order to track things like impact and force of the hits taken.

So progress is being made.

Yeah, technology is crazy.


Hi, how are you?

Pretty good, how are you?

I am well.
Do you enjoy football?

I do was a little disappointed with the superbowl though.

Really?
Why?
Who were you rooting for?

Well i was rooting for the rams but i would have liked to have seen a better game.

That makes sense.
Who is your favorite team?

well if i had to pick between the redskins or bucks i would probably go with the skins.

You?

I am from Chicago so I love the bears.
Do you watch football a lot?

I never get the chance to as i am always busy.

I heard that the only left handed quarterback is Kellan Moore.

That is true, although I find it hard to believe.

So if not sports, what do you do in your spare time?

Don't really have any at the moment.

Did you know that there is a former patriot that has never fumbled the ball.

That's crazy.

Or that the University of Iowa's visitor's locker room is painted pink.

I guess that's a psychological thing.
every bit helps i guess.

GA tech beat cumberland 222-0.

I wonder if they have a pink locker room?

Wow that game was bake in 1916 right?

ESPN won an award for the superimposed yellow line representing the first down.

Seems like a low bar to win an emmy.

NFL games only have 11 minutes of action.

Now that was hard to believe.

almost as hard as the fact that bowler in the 60's made more than NFL players.

yeah.

Or that the NFL uses chips to track player movement.

I think that's taking it way to far.

kind of like new Orleans cheerleaders having to leave a restaurant if a player comes in.

Nice chatting with you!


Is it true Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL?

I think so!

I always get him mixed up with Kellylanne Conway when I hear the name, though.

Do you think NFL is watched over there at the White House?

Kellyanne Conway haha that's funny.

Oh Jeez!

Probably!

I guess the Cowboys are one happy NFL team now after the Amari Cooper trade.

Have you heard about it?

I have not heard of that I've been Netflix binging lately.

I had no idea alex smith was such an educated guy.

Well, it's not really big news.

I guess the Cowboys are happy because the Redskins were leading but then they overtook them.

I wonder if it was an epic football game?

It would be nice to see the cowboys win a championship again.

I like the history behind the huddle being to help a deaf quarterback.

Yes, I remember learning about how the huddle started in school!

Very smart!

I was reading that the Cowboys have so much confidence lately in the NFL that they think their defense is unstoppable.

Those are some big words thinking they are unstoppable.

Can you ever imagine a game score reaching anywhere near 222-0 like the georgia tech v cumberland?

I can't imagine!

The losing team must have been very embarrassed.

I don't think I've ever seen an NFL or any other sports game at all with a score even close to that.

Have you?

No that would be ridiculous.

Everyone in management would have to be replaced.

I think one of the most famous NFL quarterbacks is Tom Brady?

I remember something about a football family comprised of a Dad and two sons that's super famous, too.

I think it's the Mannings.

oh yes the manning another great football name.

those guys were awesome.

I think one of the brothers still plays.

I remember now, one of the brothers is Eli short for Elisha Manning.

Unique name.

I think quite a few football players have unique names such as Jake Butt of the Broncos.

Yeah at least those were their given names and not something like Chad Ocho Cinco because of his number.

That's true!

I think Amari Cooper has had many injuries in his NFL career.

I'm surprised the Cowboys are so happy about that wide receiver; the risk of re injury seems high in football games.

Yeah the sport has sped up a lot and coming back from an injury always puts you at a higher risk of it happening again.

I think Cooper came from the Raiders to the Cowboys?

Yes I think thats how it worked out.

So is there really chips inside players shoulder pads?

I think so!

The NFL even has those chips in the actual footballs.

I wish I could have thought of that idea!

Who knows how advanced football with be in a few decades, right?

No joke.

Can you imagine if helmets were still just made of leather.

Collissions could become lethal.

That would be terribly dangerous!

I think I've heard the NFL doing education courses as to how to still make contact but avoid injury.

Strategic, almost like martial arts.

Hope they teach young football players, too!


Hello, How are you today, do you have time to chat for a bit?

Did your NFL team start 0-2 this year?

Unfortunately it has

They have less than a 5 percent chance of making it to the playoffs then

Well it's good that I'm not a huge fan of NFL

You must be watching the uninspiring Broncos Oakland game right now?

Yes but just on in the background with the tv muted

The Seattle offfense have really been proving themselves the past couple weeks.

Don't you think?

Somewhat, they're doing somethings well and slacking on more of the basics.

J.J Watt has a real chance at winning Defensive Player of the Year again this year

I agree and the Bill's performance lately shows it.

If you are busy watching the Raiders and Broncos game I can let you go

Yeah if you don't mind I can't keep my eye off the Raiders strong defense and sacks

Russell Wilson was sacked five times in yesterdays game

I was watching and it was glorious

Seattle has the 2nd best offense in the league this year

There run-blocking is horrible though so I don't see them having much of a chance this year

Deshaun Watson is having another MVP like year

It appears his ankle is finally getting better I just hope it can hold up through the season

He has help from JJ Watt if all else fails

True, I just wish the run-blocking was on par with the rest

NY has a worse defense than Buffalo or Arizona


Hello there, do you know who Tommy McDonald was?

He was a terrific football player who helped my team the Eagles to the NFL championship in '60.

Yeah that is right, good call!

Well you certainly had a wild season last year!

Close on this year too!

I wish McDonald would have been around to help, but he unfortunately died at the age of 84.

He was a Hall of Famer.

Yeah I was sad to hear about him passing.

I was glad he made it into the hall though.

He started out as a two-time All American in Oklahoma and played 12 seasons for the NFL making the Pro Bowl 6 times.

He was quite a player for his small figure at 5 foot 7 inches.

Yeah that is so cool, I love it when those tiny guys make it big.

I was a big fan of muggsy bouges and earl boykins in the NBA.

Are you a big football fan in general?

Not particularly, but I like the Super Bowls.

If women started playing, that would be fun to watch.

The NFL has no rule against it.

I would cheer them on.

Yeah I think that is so cool and I definitely hope to see a women playing in the NFL sometime soon!

I do like bowling though.

Are you a bowler?

In the 60's they made two times more than football players.

Yeah I like to bowl and really!?

That is so crazy to think about, I would like to see a graph that shows how they overlapped as time when by.

Perhaps if Rb Benjarvus Green-Ellis were around then, the football players may have made more money with his impressive no fumbles in his NFL career.

Wow, I didn't know that, super impressive.

I wonder how many total carries he had during his career.

I'm not sure but with only 11 minutes of live gameplay in the average game it still is impressive.

Yeah I think I have read that before, you mean like not counting all the breaks right?

That seems like so little!

The balls and players are constantly tracked though.

All this technology adds to the game an extra tactic not used back in Tommy McDonalds time.

I bet no tracking chips were used then.

Yeah I don't think they had that kind of technology then.

I know they use trackers in helmets for safety intelligence.

Do you listen to games on the radio?

If you do, you can also hear Jupiter's radio storms on the am stations.

I do when I have to, I really like the local radio station we have here, they play lots of oldies.

Wow, that is a crazy fact!

Jupiter is so far away!

Sure is and it sounds like soldiers who also were probably far away from home made radios out of just a razorblade and pencil diode.

That was very inventive.

That is an awesome fact, never knew that one as well.

It was nice chatting with you, I hope you have a good night.


hello, do you like football?

Hello there, I do like football, did you watch the Super Bowl recently?

I did actually.

What I did not know was that there were only 11 minutes of game play

Yeah thats about the average actual gameplay during a regular game.

There are lots of stops and reviews and all.

yeah and all the ads.
Did you know women can play?

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

Yeah I hope that we see that at some point in the future, would make the game more fun

It would, and it would give young girls something to motivate them to achieve all sorts of goals.

That is very true.

Did you hear about that rule that applies to New Orleans cheerleaders?

Yeah I read about that, it seems a bit silly and outdated if you ask me.

I think it is really messed up and not sure how it is still around

Yeah I agree, did you know about the average lifetime earnings?

Yeah they make less then engineers, but then again their career is shorter

That is what I figure it is, that the average career of a pro sports player is so much shorter.

Yeah.

Did you know now they are using chips to track the players in the field?

Yeah I read about that, I think it helps them develop better safety features as well.

Yes that makes sense.

How about the radio, do you listen to it?

Yeah I do, I found a good local station that I really like.

How about yourself?

Yes me too.

If you listen on the am, you might catch Jupiter's storms

Yeah isn't that so cool!
Very interesting.

Yeah for sure.
Nice chatting with you :)


did you know that Jupiter's storms are so strong that you cna pick them up on your AM radio!

Hello there, no that is so cool though!
Are you a big fan of astronomy?

I know a little bit about it, what aobut you?

Yeah I like it quite a bit, I'm a fan of the radio as well, I really enjoy my local stations.

ya did you know that you can make a radio out of a pencil and razorblade?

I guess they did that in wwii

That is such a cool fact.

Another interesting thing about the radio is that in Canada, 40% of the music played over the radio has to be Canadian.

that is interesting, I don't know how good that sounds though, only a few Canadian bands that I know and I can't say I like them that much haha

Yeah thats what I thought too, I bet a lot of people don't think thats a very good law lol.

haha but it does sound better than the Finnish radio station that does a weekly news program completely in Latin, that sounds worse haha

Holy cow that sounds awful.

Did you know there is a website where you can listen to old radio dramas for free?

no I didn't know that, I would check that out I bet there's some gems on there, are you watching the superbowl later?

Yeah I think that is so cool.

Yeah I'm going to be watching who do you think will win?

well I hope the patriots win personally, what is shocking is that the average game only has about 11 mins of live gameplay haha

I think they will win as well.

And that is so crazy to think about.

I do know you notice it much more when attending live games.

ya I haven't been to a live game in years, and I didn't know that women could technically play for the nfl which would be interesting

I think that would be so cool if we did get a female player in the league.

I think that would be awesome for young girls around the world that are interested in sports.

ya I think it would add a new dimension, I hope the game later doesn't have a blowout score like the highest score in any football game ever, 222-0 haha

Holy crap, I think I read about that before, wasn't it a college game?

They would have to score a touchdown on every play basically lol.

haha ya when the score got to be 100-0 I think I would just leave, cumberland must have felt horrible after that loss haha

Yeah, I wonder what the halftime talk by the coach was lol.

haha ya like, all right guys we have no chance just go to sleep now haha


hi, do you watch football?

I watched parts of the last superbowl.

I have a passing knowledge and passing interest in football so I am on and off

Nice.

did you know university of iowa has oainted the visitor locker room pink

Do you know why?

I have no idea, maybe discourage them in some way

Indeed, perhaps it is a mental thing to catch them off guard.

So are you familiar with the nfl?

yeah with some of it.

i know football players used to make less than bowlers back in the day

I couldn't believe that the average nfl game is only 11 minutes

I know yet we are glue to the tv for hours on end

I admit a lot and I mean a lot of action goes on in those few minutes.

I mean the nfl is even putting chips in the ball and shoulder pads to get better data

yeah that must come  in handy.
espn won an award , an emmy

I admit their yellow line which they got an emmy for definitely made the game much more digestible for the audience

seems that way.

do you know what the highest score in history is?

I'm not sure but it must have been at least a difference of 150

it was 222-0, georgia tech beat the cumberlands

I wonder if georgia tech was just that good, cumberlands was that bad, or perhaps a bit of both

I think it was a combination of both

That does sound most plausible.

Georgia tech must have had talents like tom brady or green ellis

Not sure who played in their team but must have been boring to watch too

True.

Perhaps surprising until 50 pts, entertaining until 100 pts, and dull until 222 points

Yeah I guess.
nice chat


Good evening.

Are you a football fan?

Did you know there is actually a new league starting tonight?

No, I did not know that.

I don't watch a lot of football, but I do know some intereesting bits of trivia about it.

Honestly, playing the game was more my brother's gig.

He got a football scholarship in college.

Did you know for instance, the highest score ever in a football game was 222-0?

Can you imagine been beat THAT badly?

Yikes!

I can't even imagine a score like that!

If you (or your brother) are curious, it's called the Alliance of American Football and it's actually connected to the NFL now.

I did hear they were also trying to revive the XFL, that's the football league run by the WWE wrestling organization.

Never caught it the first time around, so I can't say if bringing it back is a good idea or not...

I think that is scheduled for 2020 so the spring will be interesting.

Did you happen to catch the Super Bowl?

It seems like it's one of the rare single-elimination finales in our US sports.

No I didn't see it, heard it wasn't the greatest though.

They even griped about the group performing at Half Time (Maroon 5) although I understand they had a hard time even gettting anyone to perform.

Wonder if the commercials were any good this year though...

It was a defensive struggle, Maroon 5 was really just Adam Levine showing off, and the commercials were rather bland.

It's crazy to think that in terms of actual gameplay, the halftime show was longer as an average NFL game just has about 11 minutes of live action.

11 minutes?

It's hard to believe there's so little actual action in a game!

Wonder if any of the teams played any tricks on each other, like how University of Iowa has their visiting team's locker room painted pink!

Hehe...

Being from Nebraska I know all about Iowa's ploy to gain any psychological advantage!

Yeah, it's kind of interesting... they've done studies and found color's really do effect people psychologically.

REad about an experiment where they painted a weight room pink and they found the lifters couldn't lift as much as they normally could.

Crazy, huh?

Yep!

Another crazy thing to me is that bowlers used to make more than football players!

Oh yeah, that was back when bowling was a HUGE thing  They'd even have celebrity bowling TV shows and stuff.

Seems grossly unfair though, given how injury prone football players are.

Absolutely.

Especially when you factor in that despite all football players seem to make, an engineer makes more over a lifetime.

Neat little facto.. there's actually NO rule against women being football players in the NFL.

If they met the league's eligibility requirements, they could sign right up.

Not sure if that'll happen though...

It does seem like a stretch due to the physical differences.

It is interesting that apparently a woman can play for the NFL, but a Saints cheerleader has to leave a restaurant if a Saints player comes in.

Oh, wow, guess they're serious about the two not fraternizing.

They must be!

I wonder which group it protects?

They definitely invest in their players.

Did you know they have made chips to track about every movement on the field a player makes?

Yeah, I heard about that... they've got a chip in the ball as well... probably makes it easier to go statistics and whatnot.

Especially since it can keep track of velocity, rotation and speed.

Amazing how far it's come.

I bet there was a time just getting a radio broadcast of the game was huge!

I remember back when all they had was Madden using the white "chalk" lines and now they've got all these cool graphics and stuff to help everyone keep track of what's going on... it's pretty amazing.

Thanks for the chat!
It's time for some football!

Hey, you too!
Have a great evening!

You too!


Hello - how are you doing today?

I am good.

Just missing football season.

I can't wait for the 32 teams to get back out on the field in the fall!

I love football too.
Who is your team?

I am from florida so I root for the dolphins even though they are terrible!

The dolphins lose most of their 16 games a season.How about you?

Haha I'm from Ohio so I root for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hard to believe NFL football has been played since 1932.

The field was 80 yards back then.

That's crazy.

There's no written rule against female players in the NFL.

I would like to see some female players.

I bet they would be very strategic.

It would be interesting.

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

Have you ever seen snoop dogg's son play?

he's pretty good!

Snoop wrote a song for the high school team his son was on.

I heard he's really good, but have never seen him play.

I enjoy listening to games on the radio.

The use of air waves and electromagnetic energy waves is a great way to consume football.

I love listening games on the radio as well.

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

Engineers are the creators of the tracking chips the NFL uses to measure player moves on the field.

That's a cool technology.

Maybe it can help out with concussions and other injuries through data.

That would be amazing!

A brilliant engineer that now coaches in the NFL is named Matt Patricia.

That's cool.

The highest ever football score was 222-0.

Humiliating score for the losing team!

They probably did not make it to the super bowl on the first Sunday in February.

Former Patriots Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his NFL career

That is impressive!

He deserves a nice stadium like the Allen, Texas one that cost 60 million.

It was great talking to you!


Hi, how are you doing tonight?

Great.
Are you in one of the 32 NFL cities?

At the moment, no.
But I grew up near some.
How about you?

I am in Phoenix, one of the 16 NFC cities.

Unfortunately, we have the number one draft choice which means the worst record.

Well, it's a rebuilding year.
Happens to many teams.
Who do you think you'll get?

I would hope Kyler Murray but the defensive guy from Ohio State is most likely.

The season is 17 weeks even though each team only plays 16 games.

Does anyone care about the sexual preferences of the players in the NFL these days?

I have heard a little rumbling, but I thought it was about gender rather than homosexuality.

What have you heard?

Haven't heard.

I know that there is no rule against women.

What's the story?

I think that some teams just worry about PR challenges.

It takes a team chemistry to win.

I expect to see a woman kicker someday.

No rule against women in the NFL.

Yeah, a woman kicker makes sense.
Could come over from soccer.

Great point.

Imagine the income that players get from only 11 minutes of action in each game.

If you play defense or offense, that is 5.5 minutes for you.

That's a pretty good per-minute salary.

It's quite different from basketball and soccer.

True.

I started my career as an engineer and made about $4 million so far.

My neighbor was a running back for the Cardinals and he made $7 million in his last season.

But on average, engineers make more than NFL players over a career.

Maybe your neighbor could become an engineer later in life after he retires from football.

The earnings of an engineer are good.

Women should go into that instead of football.

There is a push for women in STEM.

He coaches running backs for another NFL team now, so he is doing okay.

Brand new Porche in his driveway this week.

In New Orleans, the cheerleaders cannot dine in the same restaurant as a player.

The cheerleader has to leave if a player comes in.

I think that's an outdated sexist system.

Parents, don't let your daughters grow up to be cheerleaders!

Teach 'em engineering!

Those NFL salaries took a while to grow.

In the 1960's, top bowlers earned more than NFL players.

Top bowlers were lucky that the professional leagues didn't have their act together.

College ball was big, and TV hadn't grown enough.

You are right.

Also, the NFL has to pay a lot more players than the 10 or 12 top bowlers.

That ESPN yellow line that marks the line to gain for a first down has been a nice improvement for TV watchers.

It has been an improvement, but does it deserve an award?

Nice chat!


I did not know that Jupiter had radio systems.

Now, I know that Earth is not the only planet with radios.

I didn't know that Jupiter had radio system either.

Do you think that life on Jupiter?

Well, I am imagining it right now, but on Jupiter it would be dark cuz the sun is so far away.

Yes, that's what I learn I wonder for years did man actually visit these planets.

If they did man may had place items on these planets.

Well, maybe NASA had a certain technique and system to bring astronauts to space.

Yes i pretty sure they do.
Have you ever heard of sun's music?
I have any idea what is sun's music.

I bet that is a lot of money for NASA to use in making machines and satellites over there.

No I have not.

That's true, I wonder why DC resident called the NFL Eagles the America's team.

That is interesting.

I don't recall.

I think they won the Super Bowl last year against the Patriots.

What did you think about Sunday's Super Bowl games?

do you think the entire game was exciting?

I think it was excited when they were tied 3-3.

Once I saw 4th quarter, I already knew it was a win for the Patriots.

I like the Halftime show.

Yes, I like the halftime show and commercials.

I agree I knew who will win also Rams is a rather young team.

I am so happy that Adam Levine had some special guests.

Rams can win another year.

They should feel lucky to actually be in the Super Bowl.

Yes they should, but they came from such a long ways to lose against a team that already won five Super Bowl championships.

This gives them more time to practice and develop strength and ability.

It's never too late.

When was the last time they won a Super Bowl game?

I am not sure the exact year, but I think the Rams lost also.

They play several games against New England and lost.

Wow, against the Patriots.

Once the rams know the patriots are against them, they either know that they will lose or they will have a chance to win.

True, what team is your favorite team, or you don't have a favorite team?

Pittsburgh is my favorite team.

I think I mentioned earlier that the 49ers are my favorite team.

No, according to my knowledge this is the first time that question by me.

I like them.

All right, I will go now.


Hey!
Do you like football at all....

Love it and sad it is over for the year.

It seems like the season goes so fast.

You know the season is only 17 weeks with one bye week.

Not enough football for me.

Right!

I love Football but rarely get to follow it.

I sometimes listen to the games on the radio lol...always busy....

Did you know that Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an am radio.

I wonder what that sounds like!

Really?

I really need to try and tune in so I can hear that, an A.M radio station huh?

I will check it out!

There is a website that plays old classic radio dramas for free.

I love some talk radio so that channel may be fun to listen to!

In Canada the music on their radios have to be at least 40% must be canadian.

Wow, I bet so the canadians can get good radio air time.

I get that.

I was listening to a talk radio show and they were saying an NFL game on average only has a mere 11 minutes of actual live play....that's crazy!

I know...you think that football players get paid the big bucks but I heard in the long run you are better off being an engineer.

They tend to have higher than average lifetime earnings of both a NFL and MLB player!

No way!

I never would have thought that at all....very interesting.

I like the fact that the NFL has no written rules against women playing football, as long as they meet their requirements.

Better than being a cheerleader...the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as any nfl player and they even have to leave if one comes in to eat.

Talk about double standards!

That is just wrong, I wonder if that is true to this day or something of the past....just like the locker room being painted all pink in the University of Iowa's locker room for the visiting team lol

That is sure to annoy the visiting team!

Did you know that in the 60s top bowlers made more money than football stars.

Crazy!

Doesn't sound right!

That is truly crazy!

I bet that is not the case in present times lol.

I wonder if they still use the tracking chips put into players pads to record their every move....and inside footballs to track velocity and rotation, speed very interesting!

Thank goodness no one is tracking how slow I am!

You know the game football means different sports to different people.

Like soccer in some countries is called football in others.

So confusing!

Haha, me too!

That is interesting and makes sense!

I wonder if they tracked the game that was won 222-0 back in 1916....that is awesome, what a score!

Wow!
I feel sorry for the team that lost.
Wasn't it Cumberland?

Yes!

It was actually.

They played against Georgia tech.

Pretty amazing, just like how former Patriots rb never fumbled a ball ever, in his NFL career!

Patriots are an amazing team...love or hate them they have the talent.

Did you watch the Super Bowl this year?

It is usually held the first sunday of february.

I didn't get to see the Superbowl this year, but I heard it was an awesome game.

The Patriots are definitely a great team.

Would have loved to have seen the game!

Me too!

Well maybe next year with the season starts in September you can make it to a game.

Right?

I will definitely make it to a football game this year.

I hope so!
It was nice talking to you.
Have a good day!

It has been great!
You have a great day too!


DO you like football?

Yes I do.

U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink

I wonder if that is supposed to have some effect on the players

I wonder too.

Bowlers make more money than them though in the 60s

I guess football was not that popular back in the day either though

True.

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

Yes that is Georgia Tech beating CUmberland 222-0

Yeah and that was way back in 1916 and is still a record

Yeah.
Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?

Yes that was for the superimposed yellow line

Yeah.

Did you know Banjarvus Green-ELlis never fumbled the ball?

Wow, what a guy.
Do you listen to the radio?

Yes I do.

You can listen to Jupiter's storms in am radio

Nice.
Do you ever listen to Canadian radios?

Yes sometimes but they play a lot of music from canadian artists

Yes they are required to do that by law, 40% of it has to be canadian

True.

Do you now how soldiers made foxhole radios during WWII?

Yes they used pencils and razorblades to make those

Yes.
Do you listen to radio dramas?

Yes there is a free website where you can listen to them too

Yes that is so convenient.
Nice chatting with you.


Hello, do you watch a lot of football?

I do sometimes.
How about you?

Actually, I don't.

Only for big games like the Super Bowl etc.

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

I know isn't that crazy as long as a game lasts.

Did you know in the 60's bowlers made twice as much as the top football players.

Now that is pretty awesome.

I like bowling.

Think it takes as much skill as football.

I didn't realize girls could play in the NFL if they met the eligibility requirements.

I think guys would give them a hard time but it's cool.

And if they are on the University of Iowa visiting team they get a pink locker room

That would be great.

Can't say I like the rules about the MO Saints' cheerleaders.

Apparently they are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player already in the restaurant.

Plus if a player comes in after, the cheerleaders have to leave.

Unbelievable!

I think that is crazy.

If they are at away game what are the chances of them running into a player at a restaurant.

I wonder if they enforce it.

I wonder why it is a rule.

Something must have happened to cause them to come up with that one!

That is true.

And I think it is interesting that NFL uses tracking chips in their players shoulder pads

All in all, I think football is pretty scientific with all the plays and strategies they come up with.

Those chips track all their moves and helps the coaches design their moves.

Pretty genius.

True.

Can you believe there was a game of a score of 222-0.

How is that even possible.

Either GA Tech was really good or Cumberland was really bad.

How about Patriots' running back Benjarvus who never fumbled the ball in his entire career?

That is a great accomplishment.

Did you know ESPN won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line.

That is pretty cool.

I need all the TV explanations that go on during the games.

Otherwise I would be so lost sometimes.

ESPN is the channel we watch for all sports.

I like ESPN for some things.

I got ESPN 2 for UFC events and it has not been a good experience.

That's too bad.

Did you hear that the Cardinals' Adrian Peterson is buying his linemen mattresses because they did so well in the last game.

I guess they were pretty horrible before.

He wants to make sure they sleep well.

That is nice of him to do.

NFL players make a lot of money but it's interesting that Engineers make more money than NFL players

They use a lot of brain power!

BTW, I meant to say the Redskins not Cardinals.

Do you like to listen to the radio?

Yes I do.

I have a long commute to work so the radio keeps me sane!

Hey nice chatting.

Have a great rest of the day!


hi how are you?
Do you like radio?

Still like to listen, but fav.

local station switched to "talk" radio, no music, sev.

yrs.

ago.

Do you have a fav.

radio show?

I dont but i try to catch up on the news.

I used to listen to a lot of music on the radio when i was younger.

Do you listen to podcasts today?

Any particular sports broadcasts you follow?

I dont listen to sports stuff.
I usually try to listen to news.
Do you listen to sports podcasts?

Not regularly.

Occasionally learn something interesting, though: Did you know Redskins RB, Adrian Peterson stated recently that he's buying king mattresses for his offensive line because "...having these guys up front creates holes" for Peterson to run through.

That was fun to listen to.

LOL.

that is great!

maybe i should take a listen to some of this stuff.

It sounds great!

Peterson was quoted on Pro Football Talk podcast.

Do you have a fav.

pro team?

At the moment, no.
I used to follow the 49ers.

San Francisco!

That is, if that city still hosts that team...they keep switching!

Did you see Feb. Super Bowl?

Yeah, they moved the stadium to another city.

I did not.

i usually try to watch.

did not have a chance this time.

did you watch?

Yes (sigh).

Brady & the Patriots got 6th win.

A bit tired of that franchise, though Tom Brady is a legendary QB.

Beat the LA Rams.

You didn't miss much.

HS football is more fun, I think.

Do you follow/see local teams?

i dont.

i am concerned that the sport can cause a lot of problems.

the concussions could be a problem for HS players.

i like the game, but player safety is key.

Well said, and because of fan's valid concerns, game is changing.

But my dad, who coached hs football for 41 yrs., used to say is biggest concern was boys who would not report injuries to him...Less of an issue today, do you think?

i dont know.

the problem is that injuries are expected but kids want to play.

i did not play football because of my concern about injuries.

i figured other sports were safer.

You figured right.
Do you suppose soccer is safer?
Sure is popular worldwide...

soccer is safer, but the guys are wimps.

they fake fouls.

the women are tougher.

I see.

College football is huge in my region.

Did you know that 14 of the world's 25 biggest stadiums are college stadiums - like our Beaver Stadium (Penn State).

I figure that the stadiums  have become places of worship.

I enjoy sports, but they should not overshadow the mission of the university.

Anyway, great chat!

Agree.
Very well said.
Cheers!

Have a good day!

thanks.


hi how are you?
do you listen to the radio?

Yeah.
I love listening to the radio.

I dont listen to it much now.
i used to listen a lot as a kid.

I listened to it more when I was a kid for sure.

Thats all we used to have.

Lol.

I sound old.

I used to listen for music, then for news.

Now i go to youtube.

You tube is awesome.

Did you know that bill murray used to voice the fantastic four radio show.

I did nto know that.

that must have been a long time ago, before his film career.

Yeah it was.

In 1948 Bing crosby records filled more than half of the radio time for recorded music.

He was pretty popular.

He was the voice of radio.

then sinatra came along.

he probably got a lot of radio play too.

I would say so.

You still him every once in awhile now a days.

Old blue eyes.

Isnt that hat they called him.

yes, he was quite slender in the old days.

they said you had to tie a knot in his arm to give him an elbow.

I did not know that about him.

Imagine a ventriloquist being the most popular act on a radio show.

Yes, people really can seem simple sometimes.

but i bet the lines were funny.

They most have been.

I bet a lot of kids listened to it.

I can picture all the kids gathering around a radio every sunday for the new show.

Yeah, there probably was not much else to do for entertainment.

watch the grass grow?

They could play with there ball hooked to a paddle.

Lol.

Yeah, that silly old game.
Or hoola-hoops!
Yeah!

So are you a football fan?

I sometimes watch.
i guess the super bowl is good.
i didnt watch it this year.
You?

I didnt watch it either.

Did you know that snoop dog wrote the fight song to his sons ootball team.

Snoop!
probably keep it g rated.
Anyway, great chat!

Lol.
Have a great day.


hi, do you watch football?

Not very much.

I did watch my Saints in the playoffs; the final play-off game was painful.

But, I do have season tickets to LSU football!

nice.
did you know women can play too?

I figured as much, considering we had a woman ref in the NFL playoffs.

I just don't know when they will break thru that glass ceiling.

What I find interesting is the use of tech in football, like tracking chips to record hit "G" forces.

yea that is nice.

and they can track so many more statistics with those chips

Football (and other sports) have odd traditions and superstitions.

Did you know Saint's cheerleaders cannot be in the same restaurant with any NFL player?

i find that very sexist.

the worst is that they have to leave even mid-meal

I agree.

It seems like what is off field should remain off field.

It caries over to college football as well.

The University of Iowa painted the visiting football teams  locker PINK.

I do not know if it was in humor, intimidation, or a bit of both?

I think pink is a color that causes distraction so maybe it was to help their own team

Probably a carryover in machoism.

But, you can say technology has really changed the game.

We have tracking chips in the uniforms and the ball and 2-way radio in the QBs helmet.

It sure has changed a lot from the days of hand signals between the QB and the coach on the sideline!

for sure.

did you now bowlers used to make more than football players back in the day?

I did not know that.

We often here about  the mega contracts the star players get but not the contracts of the average and 2nd string players.

I recently learned that because of the short career in pro football, the average lifetime earnings of a typical NFL player is less than the lifetime earnings and an engineer.

Unfortunately, too many football players don't invest well for their after football days.

i guess not.

i mean they still get paid more nowadays but a lot of them take on secondary jobs to make ends meet

True.

There are just not that many positions in sports TV and radio for retired NFL players.

ESPN has a good suite of NFL retires and has made tech work for them.

Did you know ESPN won an Emmy for the superimposed yellow line to show the first down location for their viewers?

yeah that is quite the achievement for them to win an award for that

I grew up in a very rural area where TV reception was poor; so we listened to the games on the AM radio.

Do you still listen to live radio or have you migrated over to internet streaming and podcasts?

yeah I do from time to time.

curious to know if I can catch Jupiter's storms in there

That would be interesting.

I wonder if astronomers can predict / time them so that we can know when and how to tune it.

Its interesting that in Canada, in an effort to preserve local culture, all radio stations are required by law to play 40% Canadian music.

I hope they have many other performers and not Justin Bieber (LOL)!

haha one would hope because just justin would be boring.

but good for them for supporting Canadian talent

True.

We do the same thing down in Louisiana.

Not by law but in the interest of retaining our Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco musical heritage.

With respect to heritage and history, did you know that a Finnish radio station as a entire weekly news program in classical latin.

I wonder how many listeners follow and understand the centuries old dead language?

I really wonder about that too but if they are still in business that must mean they have plenty of listeners

True.

Well its about time to go.

The dogs are starting to go off when they want their supper.

They are pretty good at Nerf football with respect to recovering fumbles.

If I could just get them to stay inbounds!

well have a good one.
nice chat


Do you watch or play football?

Yes I do.

My favorite team is the Eagles.

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

Really?

It's amazing how much popularity football has gained since then.

Now we even have a superimposed yellow line that ESPN won an Emmy for.

I didn't know about the superimposed yellow line.

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

Wow, I wonder what happened!

I'm not really into football as there are only 11 minutes live gameplay on average in a game but that seems like it would have been an interesting game to watch.

Yes it does.

The NFL has no written rule against female players.

I find that interesting.

I hope a woman will be able to meet the eligibility requirements one day!

So do I.
Do you listen to the radio?

Not that much.

Did you know that you can hear Jupiter's storms on the AM radio?

No I did not

There is also a finnish radio station that broadcasts a weekly program in Classical Latin.

I wonder how many people can understand it!

That is very cool.

In Canada, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music to be played to be Candian.

I haven't heard that much Canadian music, I didn't know there was that much.

Would you listen to a website with thousands of classic radio dramas?

I know Avril Lavigne came from Canada and her music was played there.

No I would not listen to a website with classic radio dramas.

It is free, which is neat.

I'd love to learn how to make a foxhole radio

How do you do that?

I have never heard of a foxhole radio.

Since 1989 a Finnish radio station has broadcasted a weekly news program conducted in classical latin.

I am not sure but soldiers in WWII used to make them with a razorblade and pencil.

That is cool.

Do you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders aren't allowed to eat in the same resturant as an NFL player?

Yeah, and not only that, but I heard that if the cheerleaders are already eating there and the players come in,, that the cheerleaders have to leave.

I find that ridiculous.

Cheerleaders have very low wages to begin with which is unfair.

Thanks for chatting with me!

Yeah, I wonder how they can get away with that.

Nice chatting with you.


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

Hello!
Yes big fan here!
How about you?

I love the NFL as well.

Did you know they have no written rule against females playing?

I would like to see a girl play.

Be nice.

The university of Iowa painted their visitors locker rooms pink.

Must have been to mess with the other team.

That would be cool.

I wonder if the pink locker room actually affected the team at all?

I doubt it.

lol  In the 1960's someone would have been better off to be a top bowler rather than a top football star of the day because bowlers made twice as much money as the footballers did.

Wow that's pretty amazing.

I would have never guessed that.

I bet bowlers don't make a whole lot these days.

I bet nowhere near as much as the players.

However, the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are more than the earnings of an average football player.

That's interesting.

I guess because NFL careers are usually pretty short.

That would be my guess.

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

I saw it was 222-0.
That is just insane!

Talk about a blowout!

I was surprised to find out that there is actually only 11 minutes of live gameplay per an average NFL game.

I thought it would have been a little more than that.

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

I would have never guessed  that.

Must be all of the huddles and play calling.

Yes and tv timeouts.

lol  How about RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis.

The former Patriots running back never fumbled the ball once in his NFL career.

That's pretty amazing to never fumble your entire career.

I know.

I wonder how many carries he had?

Did you know that ESPN won an emmy for the superimposed yellow first down line you see while watching games?

I have no idea.
Do you listen to the radio?

I love listening to the radio!
How about you?

I do too.

Especially in my commute into work.

Did you know Jupiter has radio storms so strong they can be heard on Earth?

Same here.

I actually listen to a lot of sports talk radio.

I didn't know that about Jupiter.

How cool is that?

It was good talking to you!


hey there, do you listen to the radio?

Actually, no, I don't listen very often anymore.

I think I got turned off by all the advertisements.

Still, the way it works is fascinating in how it's transformed in its original form

Yeah for sure.

You can even catch Jupiter's storm in the AM .

I guess it's a large planet that can still reach us here on Earth.

There are websites now that let you listen to classic radio dramas.

That is so nice and it is free.
Do you know much latin?

Most consider it a dead language, but apparently in Finland, some still know it enough for there to be a news program in classical Latin

I really wonder how many listeners they have considering latin is a dead language.

I know a school that still teaches it, so maybe not as dead as we are told.

In Canada, at least 40% of the music you'll hear is Canadian since it's a law there

That is one way to support local and national artists.

In the earlier times soldiers used to make radios using razorblades and pencils

I wonder what kind of information they could pick up.

The radio definitely isn't as popular as it used to be.

Back in the day, people would use it to listen to sports events like that of the MLB and NFL

Yeah, I would like to know that too.
Do you watch football now on TV?

I typically only watch a handful of playoff games and the Super Bowl.

What's cool is how they use embedded chips in the shoulder pads and footballs to track speed and all that.

It makes sense

Yeah they might be able to use that info for so many things.

At the end of it, in a game of nfl the game time is only 11 minutes.

Which isn't very long when you think about it.

Some people make a big deal about how much money they make, but the average engineer will earn more in a lifetime

Yeah, I heard a player teaches in the off season to makes ends meet.

Wow.

I guess the season only lasts 17 weeks of games.

Apart from training, they have a lot of time off

and sometimes they have strange rules.

new orleans cheerleaders cannot eat in the same restaurant as the nfl players.

Maybe the wives requested that one.

Usually the rules exist due to prior problems.

There's no rule against women playing, but I'm not sure if any have tried

Yeah I wonder about that.

At least f they want, they can try for it

Sounds like a risk of injury.

The playoffs in the NFL are much quicker than that of the MLB since it's single elimination

That is true.
It was nice chatting with you.


do you like football?

I do.

SNoop Dog once wrote a song for his son's team

Nice.

U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink

I wonder if that is supposed to have some effect on them

Me too.

Bowlers made more than football players in the 60s

WOw.

Coaches of football are really well paid nowadays though

Yeah true.

Do you know the highest score in college football?

I have no idea, have not heard of that

It is 222-0 when Cumberland lost to Georgia Tech in 1916

Wow what a score.

A stadium in Texas can sit 18 000 people

Wow that is huge, how much did that cost?

It was about $60 million and it is for a high school

Wow.
Did you know women can play in the NFL?

Did not know that but heard they are using tracking chips on the players now

Yes if they meet the requirements they can play.

They are?

Yes they are tracking velocity and speed and such

Nice I wonder if they can use that to make the game safer

Good point.

Did you know Matt Patricia used to be a rocket scientist?

Wow that is such a huge career jump

Indeed it is.
Nice chat today

Same here


I wonder if the athletes wouldn't have already had their own king sized mattressess before being gifted them, haha.

Can you ever really have too many though?

Then again I guess maybe the coach is wealthy enough to afford fancier mattresses since his team is performing so well.

This is true.

We might find out on the next "Redskins Talk" podcast.

Good dudes, free beer and king size mattresses for days.

Is that a podcast operated by players on the team?

It sure is.

It's on SiriusXM NFL radio.

It's where we can hear about Adrian Peterson's 96 yards against the Cards on Sunday.

Oh, that's interesting, I typically like listening to radio dramas myself which is lucky for me because there are websites where you can listen to tons of episodes of them for free.

You make a good point.

I didn't know until today that Bill Murray was the voice of the Human Torch on the Fantastic Four radio show.

Aw jeeze, ain't radio great.

I didn't know that either.

Radio is great, and also so mysterious!

I never realized that planets like Jupiter have strong radio storms happening on them that you can actually listen to through an AM radio.

That's actually pretty cool.

Seriously.

I think they should put more NFL games on the radio.

It would be a good chance to listen to the Patriots getting crushed on.

The fact that you can even make your own radio using simple items like razor blades and pencils would also make that a dream situation for a football fan who is handy with electronics!

That would be pretty great.

I would build my own radio just to listen to that song that Snoop Dogg wrote for his son's high school football team

Wow, I never heard about that!

That sounds like a lot more fun than just having your locker room painted pink like the university of iowa had

At least it's.... okay, okay, pink is pretty bad, but the high school stadium in Allen, Texas cost $60 mil.

That would buy a lot of pink paint.

It's amazing that for how much they put into the locker rooms football players make much less than say engineers for example!

Ha!

that's true.

But coaches make bank.

The Army, Navy and Air Force football coaches are the highest paid people in the Department of Defense.

Well that's good for them!

Even the people at ESPN who design graphics like the yellow first down line have won emmys so they probably are paid a lot too

That's a good point.

It's too bad "Redskins Talk" podcast can't win an Emmy.

Ah well, at least they gave one to Rick and Morty.

I guess for football players it's the superbowl that feels like their own emmy

This is true.

Hopefully it will be the Redskins turn at the big game this year.

I guess we'll see after the regular season is done and they all play in the playoffs!


Do you watch football?

From time to time.
How about you?

I used to watch it a lot more, but apparently the average NFL game has only 11 minutes of gameplay.

COme to think about it, that is so strange, there is so much in between.

And the game has advanced so much.

Now the players carry chips in their paddings

Yeah, when I watch it, it seems like I'm just watching people stand around all day.

SO much down time.

There is an astronaut turned coach that serves in one of the teams

Interesting, I wonder what he studied in school.

RPI.

have you heard about the curiosity sorrounding that school?

No I haven't.
What is that about?

they have fight song that includes a sin, cosine and a tangent and six digits of pi

Interesting.

Did you know that Jupiter storms can be heard on the radio?

Yeah on the AM.

Maybe I should switch from time to time to see if I can catch it

Me too, but I'm not sure what station.

Me either.

there was a song by hanson that became the most played in a chicage radio because the djs would not reveal the band

I wonder if he is canadian?

I am not sure actually.

In 1948 bing crosby filled something like more than half of the radio time allocated to recorded music

I like Bing Crosby, do you listen to him much?

Not really.

Have you heard
of Bill Murray?

Yeah, he's a great actor.
I really like his movies.

He was the voice of Human Torch in fantastic four in 1930s in radio

Interesting.
I saw him in groundhog day.


The NFL is a professional american football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the NFC and AFC

Hi, how are you?
Are you a football fan?
Do you follow the NFL?
Which of the 32 teams do you like?

Chicago is my favourite team.
What about you >

I usually root for the underdog in the Superbowl.

:) Did you know that there's only 11 minutes of live gameplay in an NFL game?

That's a great salary on a per-minute basis.

New orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player, the cheerleader are required to leave.

I guess that to prevent relationships between players and cheerleaders.

They must have had problems in the past.

The players want to focus on the game, I think is the good rules.

True.

Speaking of women, I wonder when women will play in the NFL.

There's no rule against it.

Now, Radio is hear by only few peoples.
You listen to radio ?

I used to listen to the radio when I was a kid.

Now I use the Internet, which is much more convenient.

Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an am radio.

I don't know that I would want to listen.

Probalby not as good as Top 40.

Do you play football ?

Not really a football player.

Heard that back in the 60s, top bowlers made more than pro football players.

Things certainly have changed.

There different variations of football are known as football codes.

I don't know the rules for the other forms of football.

Seems to be a universal sport.

I wonder if any of those teams paints their visiting team's locker room pink.

Its the most lovable sports by many people.

Its has so much fans.

Are you going to watch the Super Bowl this weekend?

Which of the teams is your favorite?

Yes, Yellow line representing the first down line for american football games.

ESPN won an award for that feature in the televised games!

It makes it easier for viewers to understand the game.

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

I wonder what generation listens to those programs.

Youngsters don't want to hear those shows.

Hearing and thinking are the most two important event in brain.

It makes brain activity.

Well, it's been fun chatting!

Yes, have a great day.

Bye!


hi how are you?

Good, how about you?
Are you a football fan?

if there is money in it, i am.
i like to watch the game for gambling.
you?

I play fantasy, which is partially gambling, and I bet on the super bowl.

who would have bet the highest score for a football game was georgia tech defeating cumberland 222-0?

that was a blow out.

i figure that GT had something to prove to cumberland.

i dont know what, but they proved it.

Lots of fumbles, interceptions, etc.

that must have been a lot of fun for the teams.

good experience.

a learning experience for everyone involved.

i envy them

Probably sad for Cumberland lol, but yea they can learn from it

They can learn that football is not their sport.

lol yes, I didnt realize the average nfl game has only 11 minutes of actual gameplay

the players union has ensured that work time is minimal.

the fans are steamed about it but what can they do?

put in other players?

I dunno, to be honest, I dont know that players would take much more than 11 minutes of high speed contact.

with the chips in their pads, we can monitor them until it is too much, then put in other players.

technology allows us to maximize gameplay.

Yup.
Also makes for good explanations on TV

yes, i figure that the fans deserve to know the exact time and place that each concussion happens.

they paid a lot of money so the data should be there.

For medical reasons, too.
And to show the speed of athletes.

i guess the athletes are in danger on the field.

they should be protected.

i think that genetic engineering is a good way to build stronger players.

the nfl should start an engineering firm to build the better player.

Be ready for the first sub 4.0 40 yard dash

that is just a matter of time and engineering.

i know that we will have the first supersprinter in the world.

anyway, great chat!

keep on running!

Imagine a 250 pound guy running 4 second 40.

Kinda scary.

i imagine a 500 pound guy running that speed.

the possibilities are endless.

the fans will be in awe.

have a good day!

You too!
