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!


Not that much. Did you know that you can hear Jupiter's storms on the AM radio?


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!  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?


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.


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?


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 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 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.


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.


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.


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!


Good Morning!! Sweet....Football, NFL, and radio...I'm good to talk about any of them...your choice on this blustery winter day!


It is really getting cold here! What a great conversation starter! You like football?


I love football here in Cleveland Ohio! But, I  wish the Saints would've made it in.


Hi! I'm in SE Ohio. I do too. Do you follow the eagles at all?


I know about the Eagles. My brother doesn't live too far from there...he's in Lancaster. I don't know about that QB Carson Wentz though...guy can't stay healthy.


Thats true. Always getting hurt. I'm more Appalachia then Columbus. Could you imagine a football score of 220 now? That would be impossible!


LOL....not playing against the Browns it wouldn't for the last 20 years. That's an awful lot of Football scoring! What city you live in?


I remember how big Lebron James was when he came home to cleveland. We thought he was going to make Cleveland big. Around Cambridge.


Oh, heck. My brother used to live in Coshocton...you're not far from me at all. Yes, Lebron was huge! And we were big for a year at least. Not really caring for the National Football League and their refs this year...I feel like the Super Bowl was rigged in the teams they got.


I agree. Seems really strange. Do you remember when they started using those yellow lines on the TV for football? ESPN won an emmy for that!


No kidding? I never knew it won an Emmy.  It makes it easier seeing the first down though.


It does. I have family Cuyahoga Falls. Green- Ellis has neve fumbled a ball!


I think you just jinxed him...LOL. Cuyahoga Falls isn't a bad town. I'm thinking on moving there. And I might listen to the Super Bowl on the radio if I can't get my TV to work.


That a good idea. There is a lot of train traffic though, so you may have to turn the radio or TV up a bit! Would you watch a female NFL league?


perhaps? Football I think is rough for anyone to be playing. Though, I've known some women in my life that could definitely play.


:) An NFL game only has 11 minutes of live play. I think women could do it.


Yes, I've heard about that only 11 minutes of gameplay thing. Odd...it usually takes me a 6-pack of beer to watch all 11 minutes of live football!


I figure it takes that for a lot of people! Do you think your radio will work in Cuyahoga Falls? Radio waves will have to go thru a lot of metal around there.


I didn't realize Cuyahoga Falls had that bad of a problem. My radio would probably pick up Cleveland stations. Hey! I'm glad we had this talk! Have a really Great day!


Welp, back to the frigid weather. The radio said it's going down to -4 tomorrow


I know it. I'm already dressed in layers for today!


Good evening!  Planning to watch any football this weekend?


I love football. I am a Steelers fan. How about you?


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


No I didn't. Do you know what team it was?


Yeah it was georgia tech vs cumberland. Geeorgia tech stomped them on that day in 1916.


Hilarious. I didn't even know Georgia Tech was around back then. Go figure.


Well in the 1960s football players made a lot less money. In fact top bowlers actually made more money.


Interesting. Have you seen that movie Kingpin with Bill Murray?


I dont think I have saw that one. Is it good?


Well it is about bowlers in the 60s and how they are semi celebrities.


I might have to check that one out. Did you hear about ESPN winning the award for the yello line that shows first down marker?


I did, I wonder if they won awards for the thing that follows the hockey puck in hockey?


I dont watch hockey so Im not even sure what your talking about to be honest with you.


LOL, no worries. Do you listen to the radio?


I was just listening to jupiters radio storms on Am radio last night.


I just remember that t was on am radio. I listen to that when I get tired of listening to all the classical radio dramas. There is a website for that.


Interesting. Did you know you can make a radio out of a razorblade and pencil?


Yeah I would love to try to build one. You know just to see if I can.


That would be cool. Well, nice chatting with you!


Nice chatting with you as well. Have a great day.


I'm great! Have you heard of the sport called football?


Yes! I live in America and just watched the super bowl! what about you?


Sometimes I watch the SB.  I think it's funny that n the 60's bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.


Also find that funny. Are you from the US?


I am. I grew up there. Many of my friends are American. Are you from the US?


Yes I am. crazy that there are no written rules against female players


I think that women would add class to the game. They could be punters, kickers, place holders. They are a bunch of jobs that women could do!


Female soccer players should be punters.


Or kickers. That would be great! Little girls would dream of becoming football players! Then again, they should probably dream of being engineers. The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an nfl player and an average mlb player.


I am guessing that is because their career lengths are longer.


That's true. Plus you gotta be real smart, and I am certainly not that. An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay. That's pretty good pay on a per minute basis.


Haha radios in Canada are requires 40 percent of music played to be Canadian.


Canadians want equality! They want to make sure that their own artists get airplay.


Seriously! Guess it is not the worst idea.


I think the storms on Jupiter probably sound better than most of the Top 40 on the radio these days.


I definitely agree with that. Crazy that radios can pick up the storms in Jupiter.


There are many crazy things on the radio these days, A Finnish radio station has broadcast 'nuntii latini' - a weekly news program conducted entirely in classical latin


I know! Isn't it? Anyhows, nice chatting with youse!


Hi! I LOVE watching football. My favorite team is the Green Bay Packers. How about  you?


oh I love the Patriots, I love watching the games but its sad but true theres only 11 mins of gameplay on average in the whole game


That's crazy once you think about it! The games last for about 3 hours and they only play for 3. Makes me wonder how in shape they truly are then lol


haha good question!, what are your thoughts on the chips that the NFL uses to track players?


I never knew about that until now and I don't like it! There's already replay allowed, I don't need every player tracked to tell me more info.  What do you think of it?


ya it is scary, its good for stats because it shows velocity and rotation and stuff, I just want to keep it on the field ya know


Very true! What do you think about the highest scoring game as coming from college? Crazy high too!


ya that score is insane! 222-0 CUmberland must have felt horrible


I'm surprised Georgia Tech even kept trying...at that point I think you'd give pity.  Do you prefer to watch games on tv or listen to them on the radio?


well I like to watch games, I dont use the radio much, do you?


I prefer to watch the games. It's difficult when they're talking about players numbers and position on the field to envision it all at once.


right I agree with you, good thing ESPN created the yellow line, it makes it easier to follow the games on tv


I love the yellow line! What do you think about "football" in other countries...aka soccer or rugby?


well I don't like it myself, I like football, but yes I'm glad ESPN won an emmy for that!


I enjoy watching soccer during the world cup or in olympics, but that's about it.  Funny what an emmy can be won for!


thats true, do you ever watch bowling on tv?


No, I'm not a fan of watching bowling, but I do enjoy going bowling at times. What do you think about the Saints cheerleaders having to leave a restaurant if a player comes in?


ya I think thats really dumb and outdated, I'm shocked they don't sue or sometihing over that, everyone is so sue happy these days


Yes. It's bad enough that they can't be in the same restaurant, but to have to leave when you were there first...barbaric!


I agree with you on that, they should use the radio to warn each other where they will be at all times haha


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


Hey there I do listen to the radio sometimes, I didn't know that you could create a radio out of a razor blade in a pencil though, did you know that?


i did not know that. i wonder how good that radio is though. what can it pick up?


Yes I have no idea how it works. But I do know that they used it in World War II


That is quite inventive in any case. I dont listen to radio much now. i did when i was younger.


Yes I agree. I mostly just listen to YouTube when I'm in the car. Do you ever listen to Canadian radio by the way?


I have listened to canadian radio. it is mostly like american radio.


The one thing that is different is that it is required to have 40% Canadian conent, so that means that 40% of the radio time is made up of Canadian artists


Yeah, i remember hearing a lot of rush, neil young, loverboy. That makes sense.


Yeah and there's probably some Justin Bieber being played too haha. Would you ever listen to a Jupiter radio storm on your radio by the way?


I cant imagine listening to a storm on Jupiter. maybe the solar activity on the Sun?


Yeah that might be interesting, it also might be interesting to listen to a new station that is red in classical Latin because I would not understand any of it LOL


How many people actually listen to broadcast, i wonder. It is an odd taste, thats for sure.


Yes I wonder how many people can understand classical Latin these days, and apparently there is a online radio station that will play thousands of episodes of radio dramas, and they are completely free, I wonder if they are any good


I would rather listen to those old radio shows. they sound more intereesting. i dont think the kids are interested though.


No I think you're right unfortunately. on a separate note though, do you ever listen to football on the radio? apparently women are allowed to play for the NFL if they are good enough


I dont listen to football on the radio. i used to listen to baseball on the radio. Women in the NFL? i wonder if that will ever happen.


Yeah I don't know. But I also don't know how an average NFL game only has about 10 minutes of Live gameplay, especially since it seems to take hours to watch on TV LOL


Yeah, the spectacle draws a lot of interest, but really it is short lived. i just watch the highlights. that is enough. Anyway, great chat!


Yes great chat. And next time you're watching again look out for the tracking chips that the NFL puts in the player shoulder pads, they can tell all kinds of stats just from how those chips are moving like velocity and rotation!


Thank you you too! And keep in mind that the NFL was created 1920, it's so long ago so that probably explains their crazy rules


I know its a league consisting of 32 teams. :-)  I watch some, grew up with it in the house.


I don't know too much, I do know that Iowa's visitor's locker is painted pink!


That's crazy. Women players are allowed, there's no written rule against them.


An average game only has 11 actual minutes of gameplay! Those games take hours, I can't believe how little of it is actually athletic.


Wow! They seem so much longer. The players seem to make a lot of money, but over a lifetime, engineers will ,make more.


No way! That's one of those crazy hard to believe facts.  Like that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in to eat while they are there.


What? that's insane? But there are no rules against them playing?


I've heard it from a reliable source :-) They still have to meet eligibility requirements, just like the men have to.


funny. I heard that the highest score in a game was 222-0! Must have been a great game to watch!


Only if you were on the winning side. Imagine how awful the losing team felt.


Ha! I know, it must be horrible to live with that for the rest of your life!!


Well at least it happened in 1916, no one heard about it like they would in today's world.


Very true! Speaking of a while ago, you know that top bowlers made 2x more than top football player in the 60's?


Bowlers were definitely top tier in the 60's. How funny is that?


I know, but you think of how much football players make now, its crazy!


All professional athletes are paid a lot.  Like a ridiculous amount really.  It's crazy to think about.


I know that's why I was happy to see that engineers make more over a lifetime. Even though many professions should.


That is definitely true. My ex is an engineer and he pulls in bank.


I guess a lot comes with being a football player. The nfl actually uses tracking chips to record their movements on the field.


I do. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


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


I wonder too. Bowlers made more than them in the 60s too


yeah. Do you know the highest score in college football?


Yes it was 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland


Yeah and still holds. Did you know ESPN won and EMmy once?


Yes that was for the superimposed yellow line


I am glad they did that, it has made game watching easier


True. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Yes the guy that never fumbled the ball. Do you watch tv?


I sure do. There is an episode where Bart does not appear


I liked it but it really flopped in the UK


Yes after just 10 episodes because it was remade verbatim


Yes I have seen only some of the 750 episodes that are out there


Hi, how are you? Are you following the Colin Kaepernick/Eric Reid drama?


Reid, 26 year old pick out of LSU, played some linebacker out of necessity in 2017


Yes he did. He is in the middle of a lawsuit against the NFL for collusion. SInce he is a top safety, I think he has a good case...


He tweet " people who know football know who can play. people who know me, know my character".


Yeah, he's really talented and shouldn't have been out of the league at all. For a simple protest not to kil African Americans at a disproportional rate compared to whites.


Football is a family of team sports that involve, but we become one nation to achieve for the nation.


Although some find him cowardly, I find Kaepernick extremely brave for giving up football to take a stand against police killing his people. What are your thoughts.


He is best player but the football missed him very much.


Yeah. I get sad when people bang on him but I find him strong and able to start the movement. I find more white people unwilling to learn about him and the movement, which makes it tough to argue with them...


Television sometimes shortened to tele is a great communication medium.


Yes, it is. Is there a favorite communication meidum that you like?


Very much. Television is a mass medium for advertising.


That's interesteding. I really like to watch sports on tv. Do you?


For watching football only i buy the TV. What your favourate team ?


I am from Chicago and move the bears. What about you?


Sorry, love the Chciago Bears. I do enjoy tennis. You? Are you watching the Australian open on tv?


Some time i watch it.  Wimbledon is my favourite tournament.


Nice... I want to eventually go and watch that tournament. I think it would be fun. But I also think I would be soooo hot in the stands. Is tennnis your favorite sport?


yes, Its one man show. Strong body and mental required for it.


I didn't know that there is only 1 episode of "The Simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned


Well, I much less, I find out. And I see that program, I like it


Did you know that the highest score in football game was 222-0, but it was really while ago. It's surprising fact.


Yes, I had read something in particular about it, it's something surprising. They should have played alone in the field, that team weighed the other


I was always surprised that there isn't any written rule against female players in NFL. And still don't understand why women don't play


It's a very strange thing, there are many women capable for these types of sports, but good.


I agree. Well, maybe with average NFL game only 11 minutes of live gameplay, it's not interesting for ladies.


There will come a time when the first will be encouraged and so will the others


did you know that New orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player


How curious is that? Well, I have some thought of some because of it, but. What do you think?


I think it's kind of stupid and old style rule. It doesn't make any sense.


Well, I suppose it's because of creating bonds in the middle of all this, it's not good for players to have their head in something else


:) it could be true. However, to require to leave a place when NFL player comes... well,I'm not sure in that...


We are not sure of anything, they are pure speculations ... But we must not remove the possibility


true. Did you know that locker room for visiting team in the University of Iowa is completely painted pink?


Or yes, yes ... Also today something about this, it is rumored that it is for the visiting team to know that they are better and this feels less


some people may call it as sort of pressure, but I'm not sure.


To me that could cause me rather desire to cover their mouths and beat them to learn. But hey, all this is part of the show


Well of course. What is worth there is the best performance, the better the teams, the better the matches


Yes! My pleasure to talk with you. Have a good day!


Hello hows it going? Do you like football?  I didn't know women can play in the NFL.


I watch far too much TV. Are you a fan of television?


Yea, I like watching SNL, their longest running skit is Weekend Update


I love that skit. Are you a fan of The Simpsons?


Yea, I love Homer. In the first 400 episodes he held 188 jobs!


Wow! That's an insane amount of jobs. Did you know there is only one episode where Bart does not appear and is not mentioned?


No, that's crazy considering how many episode there are. They recently had Daniel Radcliffe do a voice on Treehouse of Horror XXI


I did not know that. I missed it. Did you see the Family Guy episode of South Park where they pointed out that Family Guy ripped off The Simpsons format?


Yea, those South Park episodes were fun to watch on tv


I agree. After that episode aired The Simpsons crew sent the South Park crew flowers ha ha.


Nice. Have you ever watched Shark Tank? It turns out most deals on the show are never enacted


I am aware of it and how it works but I've never seen an episode.


Quite deceptive. Apparently Shakespare's The Two Noble Kinsmen has never been adapted for tv or film


I would have thought they were all adapted by now. Are you aware of the show Thomas the Tank Engine?


Yea, I've seen a few episode on the telly as a kid


Did you know that Ringo Starr, Alec Baldwin, and George Carlin have all narrated for the show?


No, that's pretty crazy. Did you know the player in football games have tracking chips embedded in their equipment?


I did hear that it was on their person and also on the football.  I wonder what they use that data for?


I know they use the chips to track the footballs velocity, speed, rotation, and location


I wonder why they don't use that data to help make calls then instead of just relying on reviews?


The NFL should also use the data from the chips to help with players safety


Sure, I'm a big Cowboys fan, personally. How about you?


I dont really follow football too much,  but I watch it once in awhile,  I like the 49ers.


Yeah, I find it hard to avoid after awhile. Considering the regular season runs practically four months, then has several months of post-season, it can get a little "in your face" on television.


Absolutely,  sometimes I dont even realize Im watching it,  like on Thanksgiving or something lol


And then finally, the first Sunday in February when everything shuts down for the Super Bowl.


Yeah,  I hear ya lol Did you know the NFl uses tracking chips?


Yeah, on both the players and the balls? They want to be able to track everything, I guess.


Yeah I guess stats mean a lot in that sport.  Its kinda sad that there is only 11 min of game play yet the event probably takes about 3 hours.


That must be one of the many reasons engineers make more money over a lifetime than a football player.


Yeah and the injuries!  You hardly hear about an engineer getting injured affecting his career.


Haha. Yeah, you rarely hear about an engineer only have a fifteen year career because his body finally gave out on him.


Right!  Maybe they would get a sprained wrist from being at the computer so much,  but usually nothing serious.  lol


They're too busy getting paid and making the tracking chips that go in footballs to worry about it. Did you know back in the 60s, bowlers actually made more than football players?


That is really amazing,  real good time to be a bowler!


Definitely. Did you know there's no written rule preventing women from playing in the NFL?


I did,  I had no idea before I read it.  I wonder why we dont see more women playing football.


Probably because it's an incredibly sexist industry, and would be a very hostile working environment.


Well there are very masculine women who train and build up to play those types of sports. I've seen them at the gym.  I met a woman who played rugby before!


Oh, definitely! I'm not saying women aren't capable of playing. I'm saying the league is very unfair toward women. They look away from the wife-beating and sexual harassment scandals. In fact, a Saints cheerleader has to get up from the restaurant where she is eating if a player walks in.


Yeah that is very rude.  Why not come up with an itinerary so cheerleaders know not to go there instead of that happening where they might have to leave mid meal.. anyways been great chatting!


I do actually, Did you know that women can play too?


Yes there is not rule that prevents them from playing


Yes as long as they can meet the requirements they are good to play


Yeah. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of gameplay?


yeah and yet we are glued to the tv for hours


Yeah. Did you know engineers make more money though over the lifetime?


Well they do have longer careers too though so that makes sense


Yeah they have more time to make money if you think it that way


Yeah. Did you hear of that rule for Saints cheerleaders?


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


Yes and worst, they also have to leave mid meal when they walk in


Yeah it is sexist and it needs to go really


I agree. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


WOw I wonder if that is supposed to have some impact on them


I wonder too. Bowlers made more money in the 60s that football players


Wow I guess it was a much more popular sport back in the day than football


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


Yes it is 222-0 and Georgia Tech beat Cumberland


Yeah what a score that must have been even for 1916


Yeah that is crazy good. Nice chatting with you.


What do you think about Eric Reid? You think people are not signing him because he's bad or because he won't stand for the national anthem


I would think that would be a reason why teams weren't signing the 2013 first round pick out of LSU.


Yep I think so. Him and Colin Kaepernick definitely got the short end of the straw after they started their activism


Yes they did.  They first did it before a game in Sept. of 2016 and have had nothing but problems since then.


Yep it's interesting that he had an 8.4 million dollar contract and he essentially threw it away by refusing to stand


Wow.  I didn't now how much it cost him.  I do know though that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher compared to that of the lifetime earnings of an average NFL or MLB player.


Yep you're right about that. Also the average NFL game only last for about 10 minutes of actual gameplay, the rest is just referees and standing around LOL


LOL For that short amount of time, they do a good job of dragging it out to 3 hours.  Did you know there's no written rule against female players?  I wonder if we'll see on at some point...maybe a kicker?


That's what I'm thinking, we could probably see a kicker, I just hope that she can attend a restaurant with other players, unlike cheerleaders, they're not allowed and they have to leave if a football player enters the restaurant


That is the strangest rule.  What do you think of the tracking chips they are using to record data in players shoulder pads and footballs?  Seems like they're are really getting technical.


I think it's interesting that they can track the stats like rotation and speed, I just hope they can turn the tracking off once the players leave the field


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


Yes it was between Georgia Tech and Cumberland right? Wasn't the score like 222 to 0 or something crazy


Holy smokes!  That's a blowout.  In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars of that era.  Times have changed since then.


Yep it's definitely the reverse these days. Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy? They did it when they created the yellow line it shows first downs on TV broadcasts of football games


I didn't know they won one for that.  I love that line.  Changed the way we watch football.  Do you watch a lot of television?


Yes I watch television from time to time, I really like watching Pokemon because it reminds me of my childhood, they're almost 800 episodes now


Wow.  My kids were really into it (and even now they are in their 20s they still love it haha).  Did you ever watch that 70s show?


Yes I used to watch that show a lot. What I don't like is that they try to recreate it in the UK Market. It actually flopped over there LOL


LOL I heard about that.  They called it Days Like These.  Did you know that in the Simpsons there is only 1 episode that Bart isn't in and isn't mentioned?


That's what I heard but I never saw that episode, do you think they just forgot about him? What do you think about the episode of Southpark where they made fun of Family Guy? Afterwards The Simpsons Creator sent the South Park creators a set of flowers


Hello.  Did you watch the Super Bowl?  It was held on the first Sunday in February, right on schedule.


Yes I did. The AFC champion Patriots won the game


Yup... again....  I'm a Raven's fan.  Tony Romo did a nice job.  I wonder how Jason Witten would have done, but he's affiliated with ESPN so I'm not sure how that would have worked.


ESPN and the booger mobile are awful! They lost their sports brodcasting background awhile ago. Now its just social media and advertising


Yup, I used to watch Sports Center religiously, now I might put it on once or twice a year.  They really focus on the NFL, and would really be interested if they ever got a female player.  After all, there is no written rule against it.


Would she feel weird if she got drafted by the Saints. Where the players and cheerleaders are not allowed to eat at the same place?


Yeah, that would be awkward.  She would walk in and the cheerleaders would have to leave.


Jason Witten was a very good player but still needs some work in the booth. Maybe he can win ESPN another emmy


Maybe some day.  I liked him during his 15 year career, and drafted him on my fantasy football team several times.


He is second in rec and yards as a TE. Thats good fantasy production


For sure.  He and Dez Bryant back in the day made quite the pair.  Plus catching balls from Troy Aikman wasn't too shabby either.


If the average NFL game only has 11 mins of live gameplay. I wonder how much time Witten was actually used


Good point.  I still like watching it on TV though.  Never seen any of the over 750 episodes of pokemon though.


Thats 16 years worth! I dont think I would be able to stand the ads


I don't I'd be able to stand the show.  50 a year?  I couldn't even get through one I bet.


What about trying to find the 1 episode of the simpsons where Bart is neither mentioned or appears


At least I used to like that show.  Haven't seen it in years though.  I tend to use TV as a mass medium for news.  Even though you need to take it in with a healthy bit of skepticism.


I feel llike if it wasnt for news or sports tv wouldnt survive


Probably not.  Most of the shows are crap now a days.


Yeah a show called "days like these" only lasted 10 episodes in he UK


Yes, I heard that somewhere before.  Well, it's been nice chatting with you.


hey there, ya I love the Patriots, what about you?


Oh wow then you have been quite spoiled the last decade or so!


haha I have! but not spoiled in once sense, nfl games only have about 11 minutes of gameplay haha


That is crazy when you think about it.  I know you notice all the stops much more when you go to a live game.


ya thats true, I haven't been to a live game in a while, what game did you go to


Oh I have been to Packer games before and I just know you notice it more when going to the games.


ah I see, whats crazy is theres no rule against female players, would you watch females in the NFL?


I think that would be awesome, they should allow girls in all pro sports, it should be the best players possible.


yup, if they are the best then they should be allowed to play I think


Exactly, and it would give young girls who are sports fans all kinds of hope and motivation.


well they shouldn't be too enthused about the salary, do you know an engineer will make more than a pro nfl player?


Yeah I read that, I think it is because the average NFL career is not that long vs. an engineer has a lifetime of working.


ya that makes sense, doesn't make sense though the rules about the Saints cheerleaders, did you hear about those?


Yeah I read about those as well, that seems pretty outdated but who knows.


ya, like having to get up and leave if a player walks into a bar or restaurant, it seems absurd


Right, it is a public place, as long as they're not breaking any actual laws that should be ok.


what do you think of the chips the NFL usees to track the ball and also players?


I think its smart, they need to make the game as safe as possible, the hits to the head are dangerous.


thats true, I just worry about those chips being used outside the game, thats scary stuff


That is, well its been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good night.


I sure do. Did you know that women can play too?


Yes there are no rules that prevent them from playing


Right, as long as they qualify for the game they can play


Yeah. The average game play is only 11 minutes anyways


Exactly and yet we are glued to the tv forever


I know. Did you know engineers earn more than the players though


Yes I guess their careers are also longer so that makes sense


True. Did you hear of that Saint cheerleaders rule?


The one that they are not allowed to eat in the same place as the players?


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


it is so sexist and it really need to go by now


I agree. They are also using tracking chips on the players now


yes they collect info on velocity and rotation and a bunch of stuff


I hope they can use that to make the game safer too


Good point. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


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


Yeah me too. Bowlers made more than football players in the 60s


That blows my mind how things have changed now


Hey how are you, do you watch football much?


Cool,  me too. Can you believe bowlers got paid more in the 60s than did the NFL players?


That is crazy.  Did you know espn invented the yellow line?


I did, I think they won an emmy for it too didn't they? Who is your favorite team?


RaiderNation here and Antonio Brown!!!  Maybe we can score 222 points like georgia tech now.


Haha, score a few more points than Cumberland did. AB84 to the Raiders is pretty cool, he seems like  a Raider for sure.


I knew as of Friday.  A bunch of Raider fans who are also Warrior fans saw him at the Warriors game.  He got Currys jersey from him!


That's cool, it is always nuts to remember that the Warriors play in Oakland, they seem like 2 very different teams.


Not as of next Season.  They will be next to the SF Giants lol.  I bet Lebron could play in NFL haha.  Probably not fumble like benjavus green-ellis!


LeBron would be unstoppable as a TE for sure, he'd never fumble either. What do you mean by the SF Giants will be close to them?


They are moving to a new Arena.  It is almost done.


Ah I gotcha, the Raiders are going to Las Vegas the year after next right?


Yeah, good thing there is only 11 minutes of actual play.  It might be hot there lol.


It'll be getting really hot there. Do you watch a lot of TV?


No worries.  It is inside.  I was kidding.  Yes I watch tv but I stream more.


Yah, TV channels and stations are kind of rip offs now, you have to pay a ton of money each month and still watch a ton of commercials, not a very good deal. You ever watch any of the 750 episodes that were made of the show Pokemon?


It will take me 16 years if I watched one a week


That's a really long time for sure. I was rather surprised to hear that there are only two types of TVs still, black and white and colored TV. Pretty soon there'll be VR TV lol.


I can watch Netflix already with my VR headset!  I want to find that UK knock off of the 70's show lol.


That would be pretty cool, what if we're already in VR now though? Kind of freaky. I'm going to go for a walk though, it was great to chat with you, hope you have a great rest of the day!


Good evening!  Are you a football fan or at least looking forward to the Super Bowl tomorrow?


I am looking forward to the Super Bowl tomorrow. Most likely, I look forward to the halftime show. Do you know who's performing?


I heard it is Maroon 5.  I'm sure there set will be about 15 to 20 minutes long, which might actually be longer than the actual live gameplay of the game itself!


Then, I will definitely be looking forward to them. I hope they perform the old songs and Maps! However, I will be watching the whole game and the commercials.


When it is actual game time, look out for the superimposed yellow first down line, which ESPN won an emmy for.


I remember that! This is getting more exciting by every message I see. They deserve it!


I'm glad that ESPN doesn't get the game though. Have you heard any of their issues since taking over Monday Night Football a while back?


What do you mean that they don't get the game? Well, there are a few people considering the job.


CBS hosts the game.  Obviously ESPN will be part of it, but I hope that the game is always on "free" tv.  Plus ESPN just hasn't done that great with the actual NFL games.


Now, it makes sense. Is that sarcasm because it is never free? NFL is good overall.


I meant for the people watching since NBC, CBS, or Fox usually host the game and those don't cost consumers (beyond the television and possibly an antenna), whereas ESPN requires additional pay to watch.


That is true. Speaking of television, "Shark Tank" never enacted most deals. Seems reasonable because the products that consumers create seem ridiculous to make it a reality.


That is interesting and I never knew that!  It's hard for me not to see "Tank" and not think of Thomas the Tank Engine.  Did you know some famous stars like Alec Baldwin, Ringo Starr, and George Carlin have all narrated the show?


I remembered watching the episodes when I was little. And I heard about that! That makes me want to do back and identify their voices.


They all have such distinct voices too!  It's crazy to think in the relatively early days of television that bowlers made more than football stars.


Actors make more money than bowlers and football players. However, I heard of that as well. I wish bowling was easy though.


I think all sports tend to be tough because some people just really have a knack.  While I think it might be difficult, maybe someday a woman will suit up and play in a Super Bowl since it is technically not against NFL rules.


Well, they have practices every other day to develop strength and stability. I believe so. Look at high school football. Coaches are welcoming of both genders to condition into football.


Yet despite all of that, New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can't even eat in the same restaurant as the players.  If a player walks in the cheerleader has to leave.


I don't know the reason for the rule unless they just think it is a bad image?  Great chat, enjoy the game and halftime show tomorrow!


did you know that Trump wouldn't make the list of top 3 most wealthy presidents?


No, but this is just his first term in office.. Who knows what the future holds? He might make a blockbuster pop album (like the President of Indonesia) which might put him over the top!


haha that is true we can't count that out! not just 1 but he could make 3 or more albums if he wants to top that president of Indonesia!


Who knows. He's friends with Kanye West these days. It could happen! I wonder if Kanye stayed at the President's guest house when he came to Washington recently. After all, the guest house is bigger than the White house!


ya that is wild, you would think it'd be the opposite, can you imagine if we had the old rules where the runner up became VP? Hillary as VP and Trump as President!


I would love to hear Trump say to Hillary, "You're Fired!"  I can't imagine the types of things the fake media would focus on then. With all the bizarre reporting, at least they don't call him President Banana, which is what they called the first President of Zimbabwe


haha ya I would love for him to have her come into his office and then tell her she's FIRED, do you watch football at all? I guess there is no rule against women playing for the NFL so we will probably see that in our lifetime if they are good enough


That is true in the NFL, but I am not sure if it is true in other forms of football, like rugby, canadian football, Gaelic football, etc. Does that mean we would see male Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders too?


To be honest nothing would surprise me anymore, weren't they talking about making cheerleaders more equivalent and having men as cheerleaders? Like I am pretty sure that is a thing they're working on.


College football has male cheerleaders on the squads. I remember seeing them at a University of Iowa game. I also heard that their visitors locker room was pink.


lol, that is funny, ya I saw that is in Iowa's away team locker room, I'm frankly shocked the team wasn't arrested for intolerance or gender discrimination given today's overreactions and political climate


I think political correctness has gone too far lately.


ya now that sounds like a complete opposite of today, what is shocking to me is that there is only about 11 mins of actual live gameplay during an average football game, seems like that is low


And most of that is hang time for punts!  Lots of surprising trivia about football. Did you know Patriots running back, Green-Ellis, has never fumbled the ball? I wonder if he still plays for the Pats and if so, if he will play this weekend.


I did not know that, I hope that the Pats win the Superbowl again this year, Tom Brady is a great American


Well, I hope he stays healthy and can play a few more seasons. I'm sure he needs the cash An average lifetime earnings for an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings for an NFL player. And Brady has a model wife he has to feed!


haha that is true! I did read that his wife actually makes more money then he does. I don't know what she does but I found that to be really wild!


I hope the score of the superbowl game is high. Not as high as that historic  222-0 Georgia Tech romp  over Cumberland!


that is true that's a crazy score! I think once it hit 100 to 0, I would just turn the game off and know which side was the winning team haha


But if you turned the TV off, you would miss those Emmy award winning virtual yellow lines ESPN puts on the field. That is worth the price of admission!


yes and I'd also miss the male cheerleads! What would I ever do without both those things! haha


I sure do. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


really? That is too funny! I bet the visitors love that! Do you like the Cowboys football team at all?


To be honest I do not have a favorite team, just enjoy watching the games


Oh, I am the same way. I was reading an article about the Cowboys player Dak Prescott and his stance on protests during a football games national anthem. He says he feels at peace at games and won't protest with some other players , pretty interesting.


I see that is interesting. Did you know that bowlers used to make more than football players  in the 60s?


They did? That is odd lol, you would never think that! Just like I couldn't believe the football game that was won with a score of 222-0 that had to be a crazy game!


I know Georgia Tech made history by beating Cumberland back in 1916


Exactly! I like the fact that the NFL has no written rules against a female becoming a player, as long as they meet all eligibility requirements. I wonder if there has ever been a female football player.


I wonder too. ANd I mean there are only 11 minutes of game play so maybe it is not that bad after all


True, but I wouldn't want to get tackled by a 250 pound man either lol, players can get as many as 60 hits per game....no way lol, that's a lot. I would rather be an engineer and make more money than an NFL player does lol.


Yeah I guess it makes more sense since engineers have longer careers as well


Yep, but they keep their body and brain intact for sure. Football is a rough sport. I wouldn't even want to be a Saints Nfl cheerleader, they can't even eat at the same restaurant as the players...


Yes and the worst part is that they are required to leave mid meal too if the players walk in


That is a ridiculous rule, I wonder if that is still true or if the NFL has changed that rule. I hope so.


I hope so too because otherwise it is just so sexist and wrong


I definitely agree. I think the NFL is probably better at treating the cheerleaders better than that in current times. They need to concentrate on keeping track of the players skills by using the tracking chips in their shoulder pads, and in the football.


I know. Maybe they can use the info to make the game safer


Exactly! Anything to make football safer is a good thing!


Yeah. On another topic do you know much about presidents?


I don't really. I just do my duty and vote for whoever I think is best for our country, that's about it. I care but politics gets so crazy.


I know too much sometimes. Nice chatting with you


Yes I do. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


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


I wonder too. Bowlers used to make more than football players in the 60s


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


Yes it is Georgia Tech versus Cumberland, 222-0


Yeah I know. Did you know ESPN won an EMmy?


Yes they won it for the superimposed yellow line


Yes I am glad they did because makes watching the game on tv easier


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


Yes if they qualify and meet the requirements of the game


Yeah. THe average game is only 11 minutes of active participation


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


True. Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?


Yeah about them not being able to eat in the same place as the players.


Yeah that is so sexist and really has to go by now


I know and the worst is that they have to leave mid meal too if they walk in


Yeah true. DO you know much about the presidents?


I sure do. Do you know who the top three wealthiest ones are?


Yes that us Washington, JFK and Jefferson
