He is! I like him a lot. I think he knows everything about the NFL Football after being the host for so many years! Football seems so slow! An entire game only has about 11 minutes of actual live play!


Wow! That must mean a lot of commercials and penalties go on during a game!  Football has been around a long time though. The first playoff was in 1932.


Wow, that is a long time! But football is loved by many! I didn't know that Football players don't really make as much money as you would think, an engineer makes more in a lifetime than an NFL player!


I guess that means that Matt Patricia likes the game then more than money considering he was an aeronautical engineer before becoming a coach.


What? That's amazing! He must love the game a lot! Even back in the 60's pro bowlers made more than top football players! Twice as much....


That is so bizarre to think that bowlers make more than football players!  Especially with the Superbowl coming up on the first Sunday in February!


I know, it blows my mind! The game has been a favorite of sports fans forever. The superbowl is the best, I do watch that for sure! Those players are like animals on the field when it comes to the Superbowl!


I have to admit I do like watching the best of the nfc and afc compete against each other!  Speaking of animals, did you know there is a lawyer in Switzerland that represents them in court?


Represents animals? I guess since there are 20 quintillion animals out there this lawyer has his work cut out for him!


I bet he does at that!  I wonder if he would need a translator for some.  Some animals from distant areas speak different dialects or languages.


True, lol....I guess some animals are protected already like the loch ness monster. I guess Germany was the 1st to give animals guaranteed legal rights. That is so interesting!


That is interesting!  Have you heard about the netherlands building natural bridges for wildlife so they won't get hit by cars on the roads?


No! Wow, that's awesome! Very smart and kind of them. I love animals more than a lot of people lol!


It is a great thing they did! i wish the U.S. would do that!


I do too, we have so many animals going extinct it would probably help a lot. They deserve to thrive and be safe too.


They do indeed.  I like that they have their own scientific kingdom called Animalia.


Haha did you watch the Jeopardy episode with the NFL category? It was on recently


I did not, it must have been funny though, what happened during it?


Apparently they were reading a lot of Clues but no one on the panel even buzzed in because they had no idea what the answers were lol


I bet not, it's a pretty niche subject to know all that knowledge. They've got more important things to learn lol. That does suck about Alex Trebek though.


Yes I agree his diagnosis was sad. Speaking of the NFL, do you watch the games a lot? I only watch important games like the superbowl myself


For sure, hope he can have a peaceful rest of his life. I watch a few, there's only 11 minutes a game of actual play, I wonder how they calculated that stat.


Yeah game seem so much longer than that, it must be the commercials though. What do you think about the fact that engineers make more in their lifetime than the average NFL or MLB player?


That's pretty crazy, I could see that though. It's the long game for the engineers, it's a lot more stable of a job.


Haha yes I think you're right. But I don't like them it's how the Saints treat their cheerleaders, I think that a cheerleader should not have to leave the restaurant if a player is already there, that seems very sexist


For sure, people should be able to go eat where they want, I don't like how they can tell the cheerleaders what to do or what not to do. You a big animal person?


yes I love dogs! and its crazy to me that there are a total of 20 quintillion animals on earth but im sure most are bugs haha


For sure, that's a ton of organisms. I love dogs too, they are so awesome. Do you have a dog?


Yes we have a husky actually and she's super awesome! It's crazy that Germany is the first country to give animals constitutional rights, I wonder what those are


That's awesome, I love Husky's! Animals should definitely have rights, my dog is awesome too! He's an Australian Shepard Terrier mix, I love him.


That's great what's his name! What's interesting to me is that animals will apparently develop a white patch on their forehead if they are domesticated, I wonder why


His name is Rogue, what about yours? That's interesting about the white patch, I'd be curious to dig deeper into that!


Yes her name is Tetra! And she's very cute haha. What do you think about the fact that hiccups are actually and evolutionary thing that are relics of when land animals had lungs and gills?


That's interesting, the evolutionary things are so cool, I get the hiccups a lot too.


Haha I think I have the right now. I'm just glad though that Scotland passed a lot to protect the Loch Ness monster back in 1912 just in case it exists lol


That's funny, I'd definitely be a lawyer in Switzerland to represent the animals, love them!


Yep animals are awesome! It's so funny to that they can be millions of a meter to multiple meters long lol I love animals of all shapes and sizes


I am great. How are you doing this morning? You good?


All good on my end! Do you like watching football?


I like watching it when it's on! Can you believe there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay?


I can. they do so much standing around and waiting. it feels like they try to run down the clock. i wouldnt buy a ticket. too expensive.


It really is! Maybe that's why they get paid the big bucks these days, unlike in the 60s.


the 60s were not a great time for players. i dont think they had a union, and the league revenue was pretty low.


I agree, even bowlers made double what they made!


The bowlers were living in a golden age. never again will they see that kind of money and attention. LOL


I agree! They are lucky to make it on ESPN 12 lol. Do you think there will ever be a woman that tries out for a team?


I don't know enough about women's bodies to say. There aren't many women who play in high school or college though.


I agree, but there is a small chance someday! Did you know ESPN won an emmy for their yellow first down line?


I heard that. i guess they were the first to create superimposed graphics. now they are everywhere.


I agree that is crazy! I think the University of Iowa should get one for their pink locker rooms!


Yeah, the pink locker room. does that trick even work? I wonder. if it did, everyone would do it.


I doubt it, because the hawkeyes don't do so well at home haha.


That makes sense. can they make the locker room even more pink?LOL


Maybe a splash of hot pink will do the trick! Anyways, great chatting with you!


Hello there, yeah I am a fan, but mostly of my local team.  How about you?


Not too much but I enjoy the parties that come with watching those games


Yeah football parties are usually fun, especially super bowl parties.


Did you know that the NFL does not have any rules about which gender can participate in the game?


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


Yeah that would. I hear that they do not make that much money though, except for the popular players of course


Strange fact, new orleans cheerleaders are not allowed to dine in the same restaurant as the nfl players


That is strange, you figure rules like that are phased out by now, but I guess not.


Yeah, go figure. And they seem to really need to know a lot about their players considering they user tracking chips inside their shoulder pads.


Yeah I think they put them in helmets for measuring impact of hits to make things safer as well.


Very interesting with all this technology nowadays. How about other types of football, like soccer, do you watch it at all?


Yeah that is probably my favorite, but I only really follow the english and european leagues. How about you?


Yeah me too, I am a fan of soccer especially around the world cup. Do you have a favorite team?


Yeah the world cup is always a blast to watch.  I follow Liverpool from england, how about yourself?


Nice. I have been a fan of Real Madrid for a long time.


Ok you have seen a lot of success recently.  You beat us in the final last season specifically, I hope we can see you there again.


hahaha, it is just so much fun, the game itself and all the cheering and the fans. How about the animal world, do you take much interest there?


Yeah I am a big fan of animals and nature, how about you?


Most definitely, I love science in general. Crazy to think we share the planet with 20 quintillion other species of animals


Yeah it is crazy to think of that.  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.


Hello,  no I do not follow the NFL really.  Do you?  I recently learned that snoop dogg wrote a fight song for his sons high school team lol


Not really, I prefer soccer but football is an interesting game as well, interesting fact but in the 60s top bowlers made more money than football players.


That is pretty crazy considering that the football players are more prone to injuries lol I guess it was good to be a bowler back then!


I agree and theres also all that brain damage, I think its a risky sport but now you will earn a lot of money for doing so.


Yeah football players do make a ridiculous amount of money!


I agree especially players like Benjarvus Green Ellis, the guy never fumbled the ball in his entire carreer, that is an awesome stat to hold.


that is really impressive!  I wonder why that guy isnt more known lol There is a rocket scientist that was a football coach,  Matt Patricia.


Wow I bet he was a pretty good coach, expensive to hire as well.


Yeah I agree, so do you also like soccer? its a sport that moves a lot of money


I have watched soccer on occassion,  but I do not keep up with it.  Do like soccer?


I do like soccer, there is a German player that donated his winning bonus to 23 Brazilian children


Yeah he has a big heart for sure, not many players would do that even dough they make a lot of money, interesting fact but soccer makes more money than almost every other sport combined


Wow that is awesome!  Good they are making good money,  seems like they get injured a lot also.


Yeah in soccer injuries are quite common, there are over 250 million players so imagine how  many broken legs that figure represents.


Yikes,  Id rather not thanks lol I hear soccer players run an average of 7 miles per game!


That is a long distance, 7 miles per game,  it must be really exhausting.


I recently learned that Greenland cant join FIFA because there's not enough grass there lol can't they use fake grass?


I agree lol, with all the tech they could definetly install a soccer court with fake grass, some pro teams have them,


Yes I did Snoop Dogg wrote a song for his son's football team once


Wow nice. Bowlers used to make more than football players in the 60s


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


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


Hmm I am not so sure, it is a big difference?


It sure is, 222-0 Georgia Tech versus Cumberland


WOw that a score. Did you know more than half of major stadiums are in the US?


Really? Wow. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


For the superimposed yellow line. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Did not know that. They are using chips to track the players in the field


Nice. WHat are they tracking, anything specific?


Yes they track for velocity and rotation and balls speed and a bunch of stuff


Nice I wonder if that can be used in any way to make the game safer


Good point. Did you know a coach used to be a rocket scientist?


REally that is a huge jump in career who is that?


That is Matt Patricia and you are right about the career jump for sure


I do like it. Do you know players run 7 miles per game?


Any team other than New England. I do prefer the Eagles though.


Though I'm glad the playoffs are here, I'm sad the season is coming to an end.


It will make Sundays a little more boring without football to watch.


I hope to see a woman player in the NFL soon, maybe as a kicker at least.


I just hate the fact the actual live gameplay is so short.


I do too. It is actually ridiculous that it is only 11 minutes. There are too many commercials.


With as many commercials, you would think the players would be paid better than engineers.


Most people think that they are paid these huge salaries, so they won't have to worry about their futures, but most cannot play for too long, so yes an engineer can make more money.


Maybe the endorsements help to make up the gap for some of the more recognizable players.


Most likely. They probably make more over their lifetimes in endorsements than just from salary alone.


Did you know the Saints cheerleaders have to leave the restaurant if players come in


I just learned that. I don't get that. That is the dumbest thing in the world. I have no idea what the reason for that is. Maybe the football players shouldn't be permitted to eat at the restaurant if the cheerleaders were there first.


Makes the league and team look hypocritical of women


Absolutely. Talk about degrading as well. But they also use tracking chips in shoulder pads to record every player move on a field, so the league has some issues.


I wonder what kind of stats are collected and they are used


I couldn't imagine. They can just rewatch games to see what had happened. They don't need chips. Very creepy.


Great! Hope you're doing well! So do you follow association football aka soccer? Hard to believe it makes more money than golf, tennis, football, basketball, baseball and hockey combined!


I watch a little soccer.  I didn't realize it made so much money.


It's crazy, isn't it? I guess that's why Mesut Ozil donated his entire world cup victory bonus to pay for the surgery of 23 children in Brazil. Must have been pocket change considering!


I guess if you take into consideration it's played by 250 million people worldwide in over 200 countries, it is alot of money.  That was such a great act that Mesut did for those kids.  Kudos to him.


Agreed! Hopefully others follow in his footsteps. So do you follow regular football aka gridiron ball like the NFL? I do and always wondered why there are no females when the NFL has no rules against them joining as long as they meet the requirements!


I watch a little football.  I've wondered myself about the females, as well.


I mean, there's only 11 minutes of live game play anyway. So you'd think at least one or two would have been drafted or picked up by a team, right?


True, that's alot of standing around time on the sidelines, for sure.  You would think at least a kicker would be a female.


Agreed. Maybe they'd rather enter engineering since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL/MLB player. It'd be a much wiser decision, I suppose!


That's so true.  I find it interesting that the top bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much as the top football stars.  That's wild.


No kidding! What's even wilder (or sadder actually) is knowing Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat in the same restaurant as Saints players and if one walks in after, they have to leave. That is just wrong!


I know.  I'd like to know the incident that prompted that rule.  I bet it's very juicy.


Exactly. I wonder what happened! Still that could classify as discrimination in this day and age, I suppose. But is that truly as bad as Georgia Tech once beating a team 222-0? Ha! The highest score ever in the game of football!


Yeah, I think that game was played way back in 1916, nowadays that just doesn't happen, anymore.  Look at the recent superbowl, lowest scoring superbowl game ever.


So true! But when you have players in the league like Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbling the ball, I can see why!


That's a pretty awesome feat for him to accomplish.  Imagine the pressure of never fumbling the ball.  It would be too much for me.


Same here. I'd probably fumble as soon as it's handed to me. Ha! Wonder what his mindset would be if he was forced to visit the visitor's lockerroom at Iowa before a game, where the massage pink? Talk about demeaning! That's crazy!


An all pink locker room would be very intimidating for any visiting team, for sure.  Getting back to soccer, I was shocked to learn that Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player.


Wow! That is shocking! I tell you what surprised me was learning there is actually a soccer variation where 3 teams face each other at the exact same time! It's like, how does that happen?


That's pretty wild, I'd like to watch a game of that being played.  Well, it's been nice chatting with you this morning.  I need to get to work, I'll talk to you later, friend.


Hi, I do like football as in NFL football, although I am a fan of association football as well.


Me too. I like the NFL but I do also watch other leagues of football as well on occasion. Did you hear that Winston Churchill High is doing very well?


Is that high school football? Can't say I have watched that, at least not since I was in high school. Sometimes I watch Canadian football which is a little different then NFL.


That is high school football and Winston Churchill High hired a former NFL corner back to lead the football team there.


Oh right. Now that you mention it I think I did see something about this on ESPN. Willie Williams is running the team right?


That is correct. They also hired Chris Samuels and he played offensive tackle for the Redskins.


It's interesting these guys want to coach high school football after being pros. You'd think they would have made more then enough money in the NFL to set them for life.


I think that they did it to give back to the community because they did make their money in the NFL and this is a way for the them to give back.


That's probably right. Then again maybe playing in the NFL doesn't set you for life. Association football players (soccer) make more money.


Way back in the 60s the best football players made less than the top bowlers at that time.


That's crazy. I wonder if back then there was more action in NFL games? Don't get me wrong I enjoy it but the average game has just 11 minutes of actual game play.


That was insane indeed. I didn't know that but going back to your previous point soccer players make more money than any other sport out there.


Since they make more money they can be more generous Mesuit Ozil donated his 300 000 euro world cup bonus to pay for children's surgeries. I've never heard of an NFL player donating his super bowl bonus.


Neither do I. That was a very generous donation by Mesut Ozil and he is a fantastic soccer player is he German?


Yes. The surgeries for for children in Brazil. The host country of that world cup. Such a nice story.


It's funny that we even call association football soccer here. Did you know "soccer" is a slang term? That's how it originally caught on.


I didn't know that soccer is slang term and its kind of weird that is called association football here.


Almost as weird as 3 team soccer have you seen that before? All 3 teams play at once!


That is crazy. I'm not sure what the actual rules for this type of game are.


I only saw it once and it was really hard to follow. Anyways I've got to get going.


Me too. Thanks for chatting with me today. Have a nice day.


Yes, I watch football sometimes but I'm more of a basketball fan. How about you ?


I also watch basketball, and it is one of my favorite sports.


im actually watching the lakers vs warriors right now


Me too.  Hopefully nothing wrong with Lebron


im not a lebron fan !!! im hoping something is a little wrong with him haha


whatever.  Btw, do you watch football games this season


no havent watched any, did you know Soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined.?


I think it makes sense to me because soccer is the most popular sport i the world.


Im not a soccer fan so im not to sure what they make


I think soccer players make less money than a basketball player.  But as a whole soccer is watched by a lot of people more in comparison to basketball.  That is just my opinion


Yea basketball players are making upwards of 50 million a year thats crazy. I know overseas soccer is a huge sport. In There exists a variation of soccer where 3 teams face each other at the same time.


I never heard of such thing.  How 3 teams can play on the field at the same time is a mind blowing.  Hahaha


Im sure that would cause a lot of confusion on the field !


Both to the players and the viewers.  Did you know that Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player in college and in for the US in the Pan American Maccabi games?


I had no idea, Im a huge jon stewart fan, speaking of football In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars


I am very surprised that a top bowler made more than a top football player.  What happened to the sport of bowling?  Bowling popularity has drastically decreased


I love bowling, i play all the time. Tried taking my little brother he said it was "boring" and that "fortnite" was more fun.


I agree with your brother there.  But we have different hobbies and interests, right?


agreed, as long as everyone tries different things with an open mind then thats all we can ask for


Your Warrior will go down today, hahaha. Btw, nice chatting with you. Enjoy the game


I have a friend who is considering engineering, and I should tell her that she'll make more in her lifetime than the average NFL or MLB player


It is true, sometimes it really does pay to be smart


Of course, if she worked hard enough to meet the eligibility requirements, she could technically join the NFL


Ive never heard of a female player in the NFL, but plenty who play "association football" or soccer as most people say it.


Soccer was actually a slang term that Americans use. But it's slang for the official name


It is a wildly popular sport.  The super bowl, is smaller than soccer's third biggest event.


That's not surprising considering over 200 countries play the sport


The only country that definitely cant join is greenland.  Not enough grass grows there for a soccer field.


Even without their involvement, soccer still makes more money than the other popular sports combined


It does, and it has some major activists too.  There was an Ivory Coast player who single handedly stopped a civil war.


That's impressive. A German player paid for surgeries for children in Brazil using his World Cup victory bonus


So many players have contributed so positively to society.  That is one thing I really like about the soccer community.


Jon Stewart was part of that community during his college days and played at the Pan American Maccabi Games


I didnt know that.  Thats pretty cool.  Snoop Dog actually wrote his son's high school fight song


I wonder if they still use that every year. It still doesn't get used as much as the superimposed yellow first down line that ESPN created for American football. They even have an Emmy for that invention


I know, that is an important one.  My mother was surprised it wasnt there when she watched my brother play live in high school.


It definitely helps in keeping track of the game. I wonder who had to keep track of the score them Georgia beat Cumberland in 1916. 220 points is a lot!


Wow, how bad must one team be to not score, AND get that many points scored on them.  I wonder how many turnovers there were in that game.


Too many! It's still the highest score to occur in a football game


14 of the 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams.


I wonder if players from those teams who get drafted to the NFL are used to the atmosphere of large stadiums


I think I know a bit more about American football. I know in the NFL there are 32 teams that make up the league.


That is true. Do you have a favorite team?


I do. I am a Packers fan. A lot of football players have done really great though! Did you know that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?


I heard there is not a rule against woman playing football. Seems accurate... by the way i'm a bears fan!


Oh, that's funny! Hard to believe the average lifetime salary of an engineer is more than an average NFL player.


Agreed. The Saints cheerleaders have to leave any restaurant a player walks into. Seems sexist.


Seems sexist to me!! Did you know the NFL uses tracking devices?


They use chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field.


I like to embed chips in my belly, especially doritos! Soccer makes more than football though so I will push my kids that way.


I did not know that soccer players make more!  I know Americans call it soccer because it is slang for association football.


have you ever seen the game with 3 teams playing? I haven't but wonder how that would work.


Which sport are we talking about? Football or soccer?


Soccer, sorry! WOuld it be on a triangle field?


I seriously wonder?! Did you know former NFL'er Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the football in his career?


That's imppressive since he played for 2 teams over 6 years. And one was the patriots! He would have been benched if he did fumble!


I would say so. Hard to believe, but the top bowlers in the 1960's made 2x as much as top FB stars.


The highest score in a football game happened in 1916, 222-0!!!!


Wow! That is a big score! Who were the teams?


Georgia Tech and Cumberland! Nice chatting with you!


How's it going? Did you know football is a family of sports involving kicking a ball to score?


Yes, and there are many types of football across the world!


Yea, there's even Canadian and Australian rules football!


And dont forget soccer, which is also known as association football.


Yea, football is also pretty popular college sport, in 1916 Georgia Tech won a game scoring 222 points!


That seems a bit much.  They probably should not have run the score of that high.


Maybe Georigia Tech really dislike Cumberland


Maybe.  ESPN won an emmy for the yellow 1st down line on football games.  It is hard to imagine watching a game now without that line


Yea, the superimposed yellow firstdown marker is a godsend


I sometimes forget the players themselves cant actually see the line when they are playing


It's pretty crazy how many injures football has when there is only an average of 11 min of live gameplays


Yes, well players are getting stronger and faster all the time, with that comes injuries.


Yea, must be one of the reasons why the nfl embeds tracking chips into the players' equipment


Well, a 17 week regular season, plus lenghty playoffs can lead to a lot of injuries due to wear and tear


Yea, the game is so grueling I wonder if there will ever be a female player despite being no rules banning it


As long as she meets the requirements, it is possible


I suppose so but there still needs some changes to be made like having the Saints get rid of the rule requiring cheerleaders not to be in the same places as the players


Yeah, they have to leave the table if players show up at the restaurant.  I guess they do not want any hanky panky with the players


The saints rule sound antiquated and sexist to me, they're all adults


I agree, I just think they might want to avoid any legal problems so they are being overly cautious.


Well I have to go, nice chatting with you


Yes I do. DO you know how many people in the world play it/.


Yes around 250 million of us in 200 countries


Yeah. There was a team once who scored a goal to their own to advance further


Wow. THe sport makes more than some other sports combined


Wow. Drogba once stopped a civil war in his country


WOw amazing. Even Jon Steward used to be a soccer player


Nice a tv host and a soccer player, lots of talent there


Yes he represented the US in the panamerican games in Brazil


Wow cool. Did you know that superbowl is very small compared to soccer events?


Wow, I guess since so many people around the works like the sport


Yeah true. Did you know Greenland cannot join FIFA?


because they do not have enough grass for a soccer field. Did you know SNoop Dog wrote a song for his son's team?


I sure do. Did you know Snoop Dog wrote a song for his son's team?


Cool. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


I wonder if it is supposed to have some impact on the other team


I wonder too. Doid you know ESPN won an EMmy once?


Did not know that. WHat did they win it for?


The superimposed yellow line. It was nice chatting with you.


Hello! I hope today we can have a good discussion about football and religion, and how in some cases they have merged.


I think Brady is looking for a way to stay relevant and this spirituality through football is a bit ridiculous.


Honestly, same. When Daniel Wann said "sports might bring people together better than religion" I honestly scoffed at how absurd that statement is.


If anything I think that the idea of sports tends to make people more divisive. It is crazy how bitter and competitive people get about teams.


Same, if I would agree with anyone from these articles I would agree with Bob Ryan because he's skeptical about it - as he should be!


I wonder if people would be as apt to follow brady if he was losing more than he was winning.


I doubt it, which is funny seeing as when it's about religion, people will follow through almost anything.


I wonder if he is setting it up to have some sort of cult or MLM stuff once he is finally too old play anymore.


To be honest that would be pretty cool. I enjoy learning about cults, they're interesting. I was surprised when I read the NFL has no rule against female players!


That sure is suprising considering how male dominated the sport is.


Honestly, yeah. Did you see about girls being allowed into Boy Scouts? Gets me pretty riled up lol. Did you see that it used to be required to read from a bible in the U.S?


I know that it was commonly used as reading curriculum. It was an easily accessible book and quite a challenging read.


I wish they still had classes in high school at least! Not forced, but optional.. Did you read that Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely pink??? That cracked me up.


That does seem like something Iowa would do. They are quite into razzing other players from opposite teams.


Really? I don't know much about them honestly... What do you know?


There is a huge rivalry between the two teams from the main Iowa colleges. Either you are a hawkeye fan or an UN of I fan. They are as bad as packers and vikings fans


Ahh... It's like that down here in Alabama!! Did you see the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live game-play?


The rest of the time must be spent on huddles and waiting for the snap. I wonder if other forms of football have more action time.


Yeah, that seems kinda silly to me to waste all that time..


It really does. I wonder if there was more time to the cumberland game where they set the high score record.


What was that all about? The cumberland game?


Cumberland completely whupped Georgia back at the beginning of the century. It was 222-0. I mean at some point you just need to give up.


D a n g that's crazy. Well thanks for the great conversation!


Do you like Football and Avocado Ice cream? Well not together or in that order but Avocado Ice cream is a good with almonds. It's also  of Bradys things. He is amazing.


Ah. The renowned Tom Brady. Did you know that to Tom Brady, football has become a religion? I was very fascinated by that!


He truly is amazing, Yes, I heard something about that. He has become more spiritual and even has some best selling book called "athletes bible" He is on a spiritual quest.


Well if he looks to football as a religion, I am not very surprised. According to Chris Beneke, football fans also have a near-religious devotion to the sport. I guess it is not just Tom Brady.


Thats interesting! Im actually going to check out the series Tom VS Time - He is interested in finding the why's of life.


Speaking of football, I recently learned that the locker room for visiting football teams in the University of Iowa is painted pink. Imagine that!


That hilarious to see the visiting teams face when they see that locker room haha!


I agree, it must be demoralizing to walk into a room painted pink!


I think everyone should wear pink! but i can see from a "macho" stand point thinking pink is "offensive" its mostly as a joke, Speaking of schools Georgia tech had the highest score recorded ever 222-0 when they defeated cumberland


We cannot talk about football without mentioning the NFL. Did you know that average NFL game has only 11 minutes of live gameplay? Only 11 minutes of the broadcast is actual running around!


I couldn't believe it when I found out about that, had no idea and how about that superimposed yellow line? Someone won an Emmy for that!


That's fascinating! The lifetime earnings of engineers are higher than NFL players. It is probably because NFL players can only play football for so many years.


Thats true! Although Football in other Countries is known as Soccer which Soccer pays way more than MLB and NFL and there are so many variations of football which as known as football codes


Yes, in Australia's version of football is rugby football. All of these variations of football is confusing me.


Me too! also makes sense football players dont make as much since a regular season is 17 weeks running from September to December.I should know by now since my father and law and husband are nuts over it


Continuing off your point, top bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much as football stars! And I thought that professional athletes made a lot.


I know! Thats crazy to think about. I wonder how much Brady makes especially since he has won 6 Superbowls! He is known as a Messiah Figure for a lot of Patriot fans


And then you remember that Engineers make more than Tom Brady in their lifetimes and if this  was half a century ago, a bowler would make twice as much as Tom Brady!


Yes! at least he doesn't have to worry about it since his mega super model Gisele Bundchen more than doubles his salary.


The NFL is probably the most gender inclusive sport. They are allowed to play in the NFL if they meet the league's skill requirements.


Indeed, It would be cool to see other females play but honestly I would be scared for my little body with all those big though and rough players... id be happy if they carry me places but not sandwich me in a fast field...nooo but awesome if one of us makes it out there I will sure be cheering!Fun chat! Good night!


I agree, with all of the concussions gained from football it would be a challenge for a female to play it professionally. Good night to you too!


agree, but will keep fingers crossed. Good night, XO


Tom Brady created a new lifestyle routine called the TB12 Method. Basically it includes everything from dieting and personal training to encouragement and lifestyle mantras


I heard about that, it's his book right?


Yes, basically Tom Brady is trying to start a new kind of spiritualism based off of how he sees the game of football. What do you think about it?


I think it's great, whatever works for him to be the best he can be. I also heard he has a documentary series.


yes, the doco series pretty much follows how he came up with this philosophy. It talks about his journey to self discovery


I watched the first two episodes that came out January 25th. It focused on his physical and mental preparation. I thought it was very good.


Oh ok. I have always wondered how much the physical preparation takes a toll on ones mental state over time, especially for professional sports. Do they talk about that in the doco series?


Yeah they do, it really gives you a different outlook on his life.


Thats cool. Some people have said that Belichick( the coach) doesn't seem to have the same type of charisma and charm that Brady has, even though they may have the same spirit for the game Do you agree with this statement?


I do agree with the statement. Although he might not have the same charisma, fans really do have faith in Belichick. So much they have their own creed "In Bill We Trust".


I agree too, ultimately the coach can make or break a team. Some have complained about the religious devotion to the Patriots that fans often have, but I don't think this is anything new.  Do you think the devotion is well balanced, or a little much in your opinion?


I feel like it's more with the patriots just because of how much they have accomplished.


Same, I dont really see the same kind of devotion for  a lot of other teams out there in football, there isnt anything quite like it. I feel like its ok to be so devoted to ones team, especially since they are a very good team. I dont know how I feel about it being talked about in church, but to each their own


I don't think so either, it feels a bit much. I agree with the now retired columnist Bob Ryan, he feels like promoting good nutrition and fitness is fine, but don't feel as if Brady is a spiritual figure.


I wonder if people see him as a spiritual leader because of his great comeback at the Super Bowl, when the Patriots were down 28 to 3 and he brought it back somehow. However, I dont think its really fair to credit just Brady, seeing as it takes a whole team to do that sort of thing.


For example, the highest score in football was in 1916 when Georgia Tech defeated cumberland 222-0. Now thats team work!


Absolutely! Either that or the other team was just really bad. Maybe they intimidated them by painting their locker room pink like university of Iowa did.


Maybe. Of course if they never had a fumble that could help too. RB Benjarvus has never had a fumble in his entire career playing for the Patriots, which seems almost impossible.


Wow, that does seem impossible. I wonder how much bowlers made in the 1960's, it was more than football players.


Yep, about twice as much. Of course, we have to take into account the word football talks about so many other games other then just American football, such as soccer.


Yep, football is a game with a lot of meaning and history behind it.


hey would you read a book by Tom Brady? I want to read his new one The TB12 method


I find it unlikely. What is his new book about?


its basically his strategy for how he became successful, I think its worth a read, can't believe hes 40 and is tied for the superbowl record


That is pretty amazing. Are you a fan of football?


ya I think football is ok, I like the big games but don't follow a team or anything, you?


I am. I'm a Bears fan. Were you aware that ESPN won an Emmy for creating the yellow line that marks the first down position? I can't imagine watching a game without that.


no that was a great inventino! definitely worth it, I also love how a team painted the other sides locker room pink, I wonder if their record improved after that


I had heard about that. What a mind game. Was that the University of Iowa?


haha ya it was, I wonder if they have a player that has never fubmled the ball like benjarvus Green-ellis


I was not aware that a player had never fumbled a ball. That's amazing! I don't recognize the name. What team did he play for?


ya it was the patriots, he's super good, did you know that bowling was super popular in the 60s?


I did not. I remember it being more popular than it is now but I did not know that it was actually popular.


yup they even made twice as much as football players back then, thats nuts!


Wow! That would never happen now. Did you know that there are no written rules against female players in the NFL?


no thats interesting, I think we coul dhave a female kicker or something, I just don't know if they could run quick enough, women do have lower muscle mass


I think kicker would be good. I think they could run fast enough. They would still have to pass requirements and with those men being so huge I don't think they would be able to play any other position.


ya if they cna pass the requirements then I dont see any problems, I jsut know that, for instance, top womens tennis players were beaten by high school students, that is why olympic games separate the mens and womens divisions


I did not know that. Did you know that there are tracking chips in players shoulder pads and in the footballs in the NFL?


ya I did know about that, it can track all kinds of stats like speed, directino, acceleration and rotation, I hope they can use that information to help prevent concussions


I hope so too. I wonder why they are not using that data to help make calls rather than just relying on reviews?


ya I agree, I think refs should be more impartial and use the chips to track that stuff, what do you think about the bible btw?


I do not have any real opinion one or another. I see good and bad in it.


Do you like football? I'm not a huge Tom Brady fan, but apparently following him is like a religion for some people.


It seems that way now. DId you know he is a book author as well now?


Yeah, and he calls it "The Athlete's Bible". I feel like that's offensive to the Bible.


It might just be. And have you heard about that documentary series, Tom vs Time?


Yeah. It looks like he takes football really serious, so much so that it's spiritual for him.


Seems that way, his religion he said. Did you know women can play in the NFL


That's pretty cool, but it's a pretty sexist organization so I'm not sure how enjoyable it would be to be in the league. If you're a Saints cheerleader, you have to leave the restaurant if a player comes into where you're eating.


That rule is outdated and really needs to go now. So strange. Did you hear they are using tracking chips on the players?


Yeah, technology has grown in the game quite a but. ESPN won an Emmy for that little yellow, first down line.


Yes that is true and I am glad they came up with that line because it makes watching the game much easier


Definitely. Can you believe the former Patriots running back never fumbled the football his entire career?


That is so amazing. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


Yeah, it was 222 during a college game in 1916.


Yeah Georgia Tech really went all out on theta game against Cumberland.


Yeah, just like Iowa does for their guests! Their visiting team locker room is painted pink!


I wonder why that is. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


Only that it used to be required for students to read in school before 1963, which is nuts to think about.


Yes it is and I am glad that is not the case anymore. It is still one of the most influential books in history though


Not influential enough for Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams; neither of them used a bible for their swearing in.


Good point. And also Jefferson created his own version because he did not like the supernatural stuff in it


That's silly to carve out the stuff about miracles and resurrections... It relates to the story, ultimately. They must've included it for a reason.


Yes I am, are you, if you are what is your favorite team?


I am a pittsburgh steelers fans, the bears did pretty good the past season.


Yes they did. All came down to a stupid kick ha ha. Anyway, did you know that in the 60's top bowlers made more than top football players?


No I didn't know that, I always hear that most sports make more than nfl, which I think it's unfair.


I'm positive it's not the case now. Do you know what the highest score in a football game ever was?


Yes it was 222-0, I wonder what college they played or sounds more like a high school football team.


It was Georgia Tech against Cumberland. How is it even possible to score that many points in one game?


It is possible, because I am also a college football fan more than nfl and now a college team scores almost 80 points in a game if they are laying low rank team.


Wow! I only watch pro football so I was not aware that that happened. Speaking of college football did you hear what the University of Iowa did to the visiting team's locker room?


Yes, painted the guest locker room pink, I guess they trying to say their opponents are girls.


I suppose so. What a strange thing to do. Do you remember the RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?


I don't remember him, but I read about he never fumbled the football in his nfl career.


That's right. He played for the Patriots. That's a pretty impressive stat.


Yes it was, I wonder why no one give the rams any credit during the superbowl, they did played well with an impressive record.


They had a very impressive season. I really thought they were going to go to the Superbowl. Did you also know that ESPN created the yellow line we see on TV that marks the first down? Can you imagine watching a game without that?


No, I can't, but I wonder what they were using at the beginning of football, before espn came up the line.


That's a good question. It seems like it would have been difficult as a viewer regardless. Have you heard that the average amount of live gameplay is 11 minutes?!


I was thinking about that, I can't see how is that possible, divide into four quarters.


I love the NFL.  My team is the Buffalo Bills, so I'm not much of a Patriots fan.  You?


I used to an NFL fan, but I live in a city they recent;y abandoned so I'm not into it at all anymore.  I hate the Patriots, though


That makes two of us.  You can't argue with Tom Brady's success, though.  Are you familiar with his TB12 method?


I had never heard of it before. Have you seen the documentary about it?


I haven't, but I'd be curious to watch.  As I understand it, Brady describes the method as his "bible."


I agree it would be an interesting watch.  I hate him, but I give him credit for still being good this late in his career.  Gotta be something to that method.


Yep, to be 40 years old and still winning is pretty impressive.  It's crazy the technology that's available these days.  Did you know they put tracking chips in the players uniforms to keep track of them on the field?


Yeah, that's nuts.  They are using it to track the footballs too.   I wonder what they are going to do with the data?


I wonder if they'll use it like the AAFL is using it (the new league that lets you track the players movements via an app).  That would be an interesting new feature.  Kind of like when they added the yellow first down marker to the telecast.


Yeah, that would be interesting, and would make the game more interactive for the fans.  Maybe that'll help keep them interested since there are only 11 minutes of action in a game


It's crazy to think of that, and compare it to another sport like soccer where there's "action" throughout the entire game.  Although I still much prefer football.  They never score enough in soccer.  There'd be no chance of anyone ever hitting 222 points in a soccer game (which is the record for most points in a football game).


Yeah, soccer is constant but boring beyond belief lol.  I can't imagine a score that high.  You'd think they would have cut off the game at a certain point.


Yep.  It's impressive how far the league has come.   In the 1960s, bowlers were making more than football players, which would be unheard of today.


Yeah, its changed.  Engineers still earn more in their lives than the average football or MLB player.  Guess I should go back to school lol


Yep.  Of course, you probably wouldn't do much Bible study if you went back for engineering.  They used to incorporate the book as part of regular education, but that stopped in 1963.


Yeah, they could teach Thomas Jefferson's version.  He cut out all the parts he didn't like with a razor


Interesting approach by Mr. Jefferson, although he was sworn in on the Bible.  Only Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams were sworn in on something other than the Bible.


I didn't even know that was an option! I also didn't know that Malus means both apple and evil


Learn something new every day.  Perhaps that's how Tom Brady keeps going.  I wouldn't mind if he hung it up and allowed some of the other teams to get a chance at winning one or two Super Bowls.


I agree.  He's 40.  Time to step aside old man!


I am a pretty big fan.  It's tough that it's over, but at least there is a new AAF league.  What about you?


Yeah I watch it from time to time. Did you know women can play too?


Interesting.  While it might be tough for them to compete physically like that, there isn't a rule against it I guess?  I wonder how the New Orleans Saints would deal with that, because their cheerleaders can't even be in the same restaurant as the players!


I think that rule needs to get out of there. the worst part is that they have to leave mid meal if a player walks in


I wonder what caused it, but there must have been a time when that fraternization was frowned upon. As much as they invest in these players, maybe it makes sense?  After all they have created chips that track almost every on-field movement, maybe they need one for off-field too?


Maybe so. I hope the data they are collecting in the field though can somehow be used to make the game a little bit safer


Amazing that a game which averages just over 10 minutes of actual gameplay can be so damaging to players.


Great point. Do you know what the highest score recorded in a game was?


I'd be really curious to know, what was it?


It was 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland


Wow!  No wonder I never heard of Cumberland before.  Maybe they should have painted their locker room pink like Iowa does now, just to give them any psychological edge.


Yeah that is a good point there. Did you know they are using tracking chips on the players now?


I was aware of that and mentioned it a little earlier.  I guess they need to track everything.  Football players have short careers.  Despite what they make, it's interesting that engineers make more over a career than someone playing in the NFL.


Yeah I think that explains that. On another topic do you know much about the Bible?


I know a fair amount, but I've never been much for memorizing chapter and verse like some people.  I guess I was born a little too late and reading the bible was no longer part of elementary school.


Yeah, interesting that is used to be part of elementary education up until '63. That is pretty late


I am sure President Thomas Jefferson knew it well, but he also made his own Bible.  I guess he didn't agree with what he considered supernatural, and cut all those things out of his version.


Yeah, he certainly did not seem to believe in resurrection and the miracles that are within the Bible


I wonder if he was sworn in using his personal version or the standard one?  Two US presidents, Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams, didn't use a bible when they were sworn in though.


Yeah good point, I bet you he used his own version. Seems the Tower of Babel is likely based in a place that exists now


Any idea where that is located?  Maybe somewhere in the Middle East?


Yes it seems it is located in the modern day Iraq and it is known as the eremenanki


Interesting.  I know that there are things we taken for granted with the Bible as well.  For example, "apple" wasn't in the Bible until it was translated into Latin.


Yeah from the word malus which coincidentally also translated to evil


So Tom Brady wants to equate football with religion?


Yeah, That is quite strange, don't you think ?


Probably as much about promoting his book, The TB12 Method, as anything else.  Nothing like a bit of self promotion.


Yes, but it could have been a book just about training, or nutrition, why mix philosophy in it ?


Maybe the whole celebrity thing.  People admire you for one, football in this case, and all of a sudden you think you're an expert on everything.


Yeah, you are probably right, but some really like this approach, and see this as an unifying thing for the US. That I think it is too much.


Isn't there that concept, the God Complex, where you have an inflated opinion of yourself.  Still, he is good at what he does.  I know little about football, but I know Tom Brady is very good.


When they won the Super Bowl when they were down 28 to 3, is nothing short of a miracle. Maybe it started there.


Good point.  Do you watch much Football?  I come from a city with a comically bad team, it's difficult to get into it when they are that bad.


As long it is not Cumberland when they lost 0-222 to Georgia Tech, it is OK.


Not a good score to have on your resume.  I think if were on the losing team I'd give up football and take up Bible studies.


Which version, the supernatural-free of Thomas Jefferson, or the old-ones where the apple is not mentioned ?


I once read a book which talked about how the Bible has changed over the years because sometimes they are translations of translations of translations, each time it changed slightly but the number of times made big alterations from the original.


Yeah, it makes you think what is right about the bible, maybe that's why Thomas Jefferson cut all the miraculous parts of the bible.


I wonder why those two presidents, Roosevelt and Adams didn't use the Bible to wear in?  There would be uproar if someone did that now.


At these time freedom meant freedom, not "you are free to think the way I think", I wonder what they used at the swearing ceremony.


I'd be curious to see Jefferson's Bible after he finished going at it with a razor?


It was probably a very thick bible with 1-side pages, because if it was 2-sided, he would have cut words on the side of the page.  But it would have still looked strange.


Maybe if I ever get a copy of "The TB12 Method", I'll use a razor to cut out all the parts that mention football and religion.


There would not much left, but maybe I'll buy it, I have a few pounds to lose.


I'm going to go and look it up on Amazon, have a good day.  Goodbye.


Did you know Tom Brady has his own bible, the "Athletes Bible"?


There seems to be a sort of spiritual element to the Pat's.  The say "In Bill We Trust," referring to coach Belichick.


Belichick is good. But I am not a big fan of the Patriots, being I am a packer fan.


Chiefs fan myself... The Pat's player Matthew Slater is actually an evangelist off the field, adding to their spirituality thing.


They do seem like they have a lot of luck. Maybe its spiritual


Not with the Rams apparently.  Even so, Brady shows no sign of quitting football for now.


Yeah.  At least the NFL is making way more than pro bowlers now unlike in the 1960's.


That was bad pay base for players back then


Yep. My alma mater beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916. I'm not sure I'm proud of that.


I guess tech wanted to make sure they stayed down


The coaches must have hated each other. Speaking of the Pat's, former RB Benjarvus Ellis never fumbled in his NFL career.


Yes indeed... I didn't realize that the NFL's average gameplay is only 11 minutes.  That seems way low.


Have you heard that the NFL has no written rule that prohibits women from playing?


They would have to get a little religion like students back in 1963.  It wasn't uncommon for them to have to read from the Bible in school.


yes. the Bible is considered the best selling book of all time


Yes and that doesn't count all the free ones.  Thanks for the chat!


Nope don't plan to. apparently it's his plan for life. i wonder if other quarterbacks will read it.


I don't it has much to do with quarterbacking.  It's more about his physical and mental awareness and prep.  I don't think it is a football book per se.


Well according to Chopra Tom is after something greater than football.


Probably a zen type of book, trying to find the meaning of life or some kind of spiritual journey.


Well football is the meaning for him in one statement and in another he requires more. I think i'll just watch him keep playing football, lol!


So do you like the NFL?  My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC.  One day they will reach the Super Bowl again.


Mine is still the Green Bay Packers out of the 32 teams.


Nice, I watch those games for over 3 hours yet there is only like 10 minutes of actual gameplay.  But still it's my favorite sport.


I know right, we have to be watching a lot of commercials then. There are going to start putting tracking chips in the players padding.


I think its a good idea, maybe they can help with the concussion issues they have and help quarterbacking by tracking rotation and ball speed etc.


Yeah that a good reason, but i tell you the way technology is going who know what will will see when were old. Do you read the bible?


No, I have read it though.  It is the most best-selling book in existence after all.


Your right 5 billion copies and the most influential of all time. You Thomas Jefferson used a razor to remove all the supernatural as aspects like the resurrection and miracles.


I did not know that, I do know that Teddy Roosevelt would not swear on a bible to be inaugurated as President.  So it is not required by law apparently.


Yeah i heard that neither did John Quincy Adams. I'm also aware that the tower of babel is probably a real building in modern day Iraq.


It would make sense, much of the Bible was written in and about that region.


True. the bible is considered to be the inspired word of God.


Who knows maybe in 200 years people will treat Tom Brady's book as reverently as the Bible.  There is even a documentary called "Tom vs Time" made about it,


Hey i'll be long gone my friend but you right who knows. His book could be the center of civilization. nice chatting with you.


Religion and football, do you think they have similarities?


I think if you look hard enough you find similarity in everything. You?


Not really, but I guess I respect Bradys opinion on the matter, he is a great player and takes his job seriously


Yeah apparently Bravado ice cream is a secret of his. You ever had it?


No, but I might start, maybe that will boost my athletic capabilities and I can become a great QB


You never know. As far as religion goes Brady has made football his.


Well he does breathe football, eat football and sleep football. He has a strong will and determination. His success with the Patriots is proof of that.


I agree you can't take anything away from his accomplishments but the Messiah.


It does seem exaggerated, but many fans look at him that way, I wonder what are their views on Bill Belichick


I don't know but Brady appears to be on another level. I wonder if it has anything to do with his friend. you know the son of Deepak Chopra.


I have no clue about that, but I find interesting how ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow first down line


I love that line, haha! Hey did you know that Jefferson created his own version of the Bible?


I didnt know that, was it similar to the original one?


I don't know but apparently he cut with a razor all the parts about Miracles, the resurrection and supernatural events.


I wonder why he did that, maybe he didnt agree with that part of the bible,


Well those are the most important parts, kind of weird he should have just bought a non-fiction book instead.


Yeah seems like a better way, reading a non fiction book and leaving that poor bible alone, if you dont agree with a book you shouldnt take it out on it


Right, to funny! Hey you know there were to presidents that did not use the bible at their swearing in?


No, who were those presidents? I bet they werent religious and also that it cost them votes later


Well it was Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams. I wonder if they used anything else or just made a promise to do right by the constitution.


Hi, how are you? Do you know much about the Bible?


Yes, I do. Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for American students to be required to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education?


Yes, I did!  Do you like the Patriots? Tom Brady?


Don't know much about the Patriots or Tom Brady. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible, cutting out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection?


Yes, I wonder why he did that? Teddy Roosevelt and John Adams only two who did not use the bible for swearing in ceremonies?


Jefferson wanted to see religion in humanist terms. I think TR and JA swore on the Constitution. They felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.


Interesting, I didn't know the word apple in latin is malus?


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


That's great! There should a team entirely of women!


That would be interesting to watch! With only 11 minutes of live game play on average, gives time to eat footall treats or standing in line at the stadium. lol


I figure the best way to watch the game is to look at highlights. Did you know that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player?


That is surprising. Makes sense with the average player. Do you watch the New Orleans Saints?


No, I don't really watch their games. Are they any good?


Yes, thinking their cheerleaders might have a problem having to leave the restaurant if a player comes in.


That's true. That sexist thinking is out of date.


Very, Having tracking chips in balls and shoulder pads is a great idea!


Benjarvus Green-Ellis is a great player, never to fumble the ball!


He is a great player. He should get an award or a bonus for that!


I agree, Something to be recognized!! Great chat!!


I love Tom Brady, his the best player of the NFL histoy in my opinion


He plays football like it is his religion. He even has a book called "athlete's Bible."


I would like to eat that book, he says that part of his success is due to eating avocado ice cream, sounds a bit disgusting


That is gross. He is very focused on the whys of life.


Yeah well he must be doing something right, he is 40 and his still on top of his game,


Brady is a kind of messiah figure for patriots fans.


I can see why, he was lead them to various Superbowls, I think that 4 or 5 of them or even more


Brady's commitment to the TB12 Method is sincere. He works hard.


He does work hard, the success of the Patiots isnt due to good luck, so do you have a favorite team?


I'm married to a Broncos fan.  Did you know the former patriots RB green-ellis has never fumbled in his NFL career.


I didnt, I loved to watch him play but didnt know he holded that record, he must nbe the only RB in the history of the NFL


makes sense. I read that the average game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


only 11 minutes of game play? that doesn't seem like a lot, I guess ads take too much of the time


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


That seems about right, engineers tend to work for a longer time, football players have shorter carreers


That is what I was thinking and NO cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restrausnt as any NFL player


That is an aweful rule but I guess there must be a good reason behind that.


Hey yes very much so. Do you have a favorite team ?


Oh yeah I love Tom Brady the guys is a legend. How about you?


Agreed, same here. Did you know he is a book author now as well?


I have yet to hear it but it is that book The TB12 Method, the Athlete's Bible.


Yeah I want to read it too. I heard they are also doing a documentary featuring him too


That should be interesting. He has a favorite ice cream flavor, do you know what it is?


I think it is avocado. I guess it makes sense since he is so healthy.


Yeah for sure. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yeah as long as they meet the requirements. I wonder if anyone has tried


I wonder too actually. Did you know over their lifetime engineers make more?


Yeah apparently I guess it makes sense since they have a longer career too


Exactly. I heard NFL is implanting chips on the player's pads now


Yes it seems they are collecting stuff like velocity and rotation and such.


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


Yup he is amazing , he never fumbled the ball in his career


Oh he was amazing. Do you know the score in the game that went down in hsitory as the highest one?


Yeah that was Gerogia Tech crushing Cumberland 222-0


Yup. ESPN won an Emmy once, do you know what for?


Yeah for the superimposed yellow line, pretty cool


It is for sure. Do you know much about the Bible?


Not a ton but I know that it has sold over 5 billion copies Wow


Yeah it is one of the most influential books in history


Yeah i love it. what do you think of tom brady?


No denying his brilliance on the field of play or many accomplishments.


Yeah he apparently has book called the Athletes bible.


Have you read it? I hear it is his method of pursuing high performance.


No i haven't but some people say it kind of cultist. He has some fans that call him the messiah


Probably half of Boston... I think he has a good head on his shoulders and his game play shows he is a serious person, dedicated to performing at the highest level possible. I would imagine his book is a legitimate exercise in sharing what he believes are keys to helping him stay in top form.


Yeah i agree he subscribes to avocado ice cream have you evre had it?


No,, but I'm interested!  I once read a quote from Brady which read, "If you're going ot compete against me, you better be willing ot give up your life because I'm giving up mine"   You know, whatever you believe you were made to do, yo have to admire someone who is dedicated so much of himself to do what he thinks is his mission.


Yeah that's is dedication. Apparently his plan for his life is all part of the TB12 Method.


That is living intentionally. It does seem bizaar that someone might dedicate himself to a game that only has an average of 11 minutes of playing time each week. That's a lot of preparation for such a small amount of time.


Well i'm sure it a lot to do with the pay. Tom has made it his religion according to Chopra.


Well, he is focused on his game and shows no sign of quitting anytime soon. WHo knows, maybe he will be the first QB to reach 7 NFL Championships?


If anyone can it's him. Have you seen tom vs. time?


No. I heard of it, but I have not. I wonder if it is on YouTube?


I think it's on Facebook some how. He said he want to know the why's of life.


Don't we all!  Like, why did the Univ of Iowa paint the visitor locker room pink?


I guess the coach thought he take ever advantage. kind of sad really or maybe it was a joke. Did you know the highest scored game was 220-0?


If an average game is only 11 minutes, that means the one team scored 20 points per minute!  Good heavens!


Yeah that ridiculous. Georgia tech and Cumberland were the teams back in 1916.


I love to watch football but don't get to as much anymore. You?


Same, I cut cable a while ago, so I dont see as much.  But I hear Tom Brady has really been dominating lately.


Yeah i think this is his 5th ring. Apparently he has some regiment called TB12 Method that includes Avocado ice cream.


Avocado Ice Cream sounds like something someone would either love or hate.    But something has to be working because he is 40 and still going.


Yeah i guess your right. Did you know that once upon a time bowler made twice as much as top nfl players?


That is crazy!  I wonder what the pay was then?  I think it is kinda high now, especially when you look at the fact that there is only 11 minutes of game play during any given game.


Right, i think all sports player are over paid. They need to use some of that money to pay for universal health care in my opinion.


I agree.  Though the earnings of an engineer over their life time are higher that the earnings of a football player.  That makes me feel a little better.


Until you think about retirement age. I'll take ten and out with millions over forty plus and out with millions. lol. What about you?


Same here.  I would rather a few years to make my millions.


Iowa States visiting locker room is painted pink.


Nice intimidation tactic.  I guess that wold be shocking the first time you see it.


Yeah and after words maybe on a subconscious level. You know the highest scoring game of all time?


Yeah Georgia Tech was not playing around. I would have hated to be on the bus ride home to Cumberland.


Agreed, or have my name associated with that team.  That must have been a rough game for the,.


I do.  I have done more reading from the ones in apps recently though.  It is interesting that Thomas Jefferson used a razor to make his own version cutting out the supernatural parts.  Well I have to go.  Nice Chat


You too! Yes that is weird should have just bought a fiction book.


Who knew Brady was so Spiritual, Did you know not only is he a famous football player he has been successful in writing and now in a deep spiritual quest. I Love him :)


I think he is certainly a dominant force in football.  He is hard to beat.


Yes! He is unbelievable! Brady and The Patriots are favored to win in the Super Bowl LII. I can see it... also, have you tried avocado Ice cream?! Its one of Bradys fav flavors ha,ha its not bad ive tried it.. Have you?


I haven't but I think I would like to, I like avocado and guac so I think it would be pretty good.


Its good, just make sure it has almonds! it makes it better.


I'll have to do it.  Have you read his book?


athlete's bible I think its called. Ive never read it but Id be interested in taking a lot inside of that beautiful mind. lol


I think he calls his methods the TB12 method.


I didn't know he was 40! I definitely want to know his secrets. Goes to show you money is not everything. He has it all yet he is still looking for a meaning to life. Successfull career, a Beautiful Top Model Wife, Money, loads of it, kids a house, materials everything but still looking for a meaning... its Beautiful that we can all relate even if our lives are completely different. We are all One.


I know!  He is still playing at a tip top level, and winning.


It would be interesting to see his tracking numbers. since the NFL has a chip embedded in the footballs and in the shoulder of the players to measure speed and distance.


It would, and the ball to see exactly how fast he can fling it.


Yes! and who knew that the average nfl game has only 11 minutes of live game play! my father and law and husband make it feel like eternal haha


That is because it is an eternity.  I mean 4 hours for 11 minutes of play?  Not the quickest game in the world.


Just like Monopoly! I couldnt do it, Im too impatient and not that strong for football. Im afraid Ill break something these days. Even though it would be interesting to see a female in the NFL, hopefully someday we see it, there are currently no written rule against female players


As long as they are treated better than the cheerleaders I think it could be a good thing.  They dont treat cheerleaders too well.


Oh true! thats what I heard! especially in the New Orleans Saints, apparantly cheerleaders cant be in the same restaurant as the players. If they are they must leave... thats terrible. I wonder why


I dont know what kind of incident could have prompted a rule like that.  It is a little overboard in my opinion.


Your right, something must of happened. Times sure have changed, for starters back in the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars!


That is crazy, I wonder how good the pay was. I mean if bowlers were getting the same pay it couldnt have been great.  Nothing like what engineers made at the time.


You are right! I couldn't believe it. The average engineers is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an nfl player and mlb. Soccer is the highest paid however.


Hi, how are you? Do you know much about the Bible?


Hello, I'm doing well! I know a little bit, I think it's interesting how religious books are similar, like the Old Testament overlaps with the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint.


They are all in the Abrahamic tradition. The ideas date back very far. Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for American students to be required to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education?


I did not know that! But thinking about it, it makes sense. We really have it ingrained so much in society. I think Teddy Roosevelt is one of the only presidents who didn't swear in on the Bible


The other is John Quincy Adams. They swore on the Constitution because they felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.


Ahh ok, that's interesting. It's good for people in power to have choice like that. Thomas Jefferson had his own version of the Bible, after he cut out parts using a razor.


He was a practical guy and wanted to see religion in humanist terms.


It's interesting how the Bible draws from real life as well. I was shocked to find out the tower of Babel was likely based off of the real life building, the Etemenanki.


The Bible has a lot of connections to the real world. Linguistically too. An apple only became known as an "apple" when the Bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century. The reason: the word "mauls" means both apple and evil.


That's interesting! I think it's surprising the disagreements people have over the Bible, I always thought of it as straight forward! But I guess some people disagree what parts of it should be included in the canon.


I think there are political motivations behind that, like in the case of Jefferson. Leaders want certain beliefs to be followed.


I think that's fair. Regardless it's clear many, many people have considered it interesting enough to buy. It's technically the best-selling book of all time with 5 billion copies.


They might not know the controversy behind what got chosen to go into the book. So much has been left out.


Yeah that's very true. Speaking of controversy, did you know in the NFL, if cheerleaders are eating in a restaurant and players come in after, the cheerleaders still have to leave? That's terrible.


The women in the NFL get treated like second class citizens. It's shameful.


Definitely, but at the same time that makes it even more surprising female players are technically allowed!


They would be better off as engineers in the long run. No concussions!


That's true, and more than that, don't engineers make more? I think on average they have higher lifetime earnings than NFL players, and even MLB players also!


I'm not surprised. NFL players have short careers, due to injury and age. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you!


Definitely, but it's also surprising considering there's only 11 minutes of actual live play every game.


True. Only 11 minutes stretched over hours. Not what you'd think.


But definitely nice chatting with you as well, have a good night!


Hello. Do you like avocado ice cream? Tom Brady does.


Its what is keeping him on the top of his game


I think I would have to pass, as it sounds disgusting. I didn't realize he and Depak Chopra's son were friends. Also weird that Depak would name his son Gotham.


Yes he did. I would love to read his book "athlete's bible"


I'm not reading anything from an NFL player, until they demand that the Saints stop that insane rule that their cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in.


That is so wrong. That makes me mad just thinking about it. at least Women can play in the NFL


As long as they meet the eligibility requirements, and I'm sure many do.


I did not know the ESPN created the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line


They won an emmy for it. That must have been an awful year, if that is what won.


Im sorry I hit enter before finishing. I was saying that if I were cumberland I would have quit playing that game after the 1st 100 points


Oh. The Georgia Tech game! Why didn't the coaches stop that? They do in high school games.


I would have wanted to be a bowler instead of a player  in the 60's


Even engineers make more money than a player. I don't think i could have watched pro bowling though.


I never knew that green-ellis has never fumbled the ball. I wonder if he is the only one


Probably, as those tracking chips in the balls register everything.


So Thomas jefferson did not believe in miracles and the resurrection.


A lot of people don't. Maybe Brady should be given a copy of his bible.


Yes because the bible is the best selling book ever.


Yes I do a lot and you? Do you have a favorite team or player


I love the Patriots and Brady, he is such a good and dedicated player. And you?


Yes he sure is and I like him a lot. Do you know what his favorite ice cream flavor is?


I think it is ice cream which fits in really well with his healthy diet


Exactly. And now he is a book author as well, he wrote a book on the sport


Yes he wrote the Athelete's Bible, The TB12 Method. Have you read it?


I have not actually but I would like to. I would also like to watch the documentary series Tom vs. Time


Yeah that sounds cool too. Did you know U of Iowa painted their visitor locker room pink?


Yeah heard about that, wonder if it works in any way. Do you know what the highest college football score is?


Yeah it was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0. What a defeat.


Exactly what a defeat. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


Yes for the superimposed yellow line. I am glad they did that.


Yes me too. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Yeah he ir the rb for the Patriots who never fumbled the ball in his career


Yeah what a legend. Did you hear about that New Orleans cheerleader rule?


Yeah that is so wrong in every level. Why can't they eat in the same place?


I have no idea I just hate the fact they have to also leave mid meal if the players walk in.


So strange. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I know that it is one of the most influential books and has sold 5 billion copies


Yeah that is pretty powerful and it was part of the education system until 1963.


Hi there for sure, do you have a favorite team or player?


I do I like the Patriots and Brady is my favorite player. ANd you?


Me tooo. He is a book author now as well, did you know that?


Yeah the wrote the Athlete's Bible, the TB12 Method Have you read it?


Yeah and there is also that documentary on Facebook starring him


Oh yeah Tom versus Time I want to watch it too. Do you know what his favorite ice cream flavor is?


With a guy like him, avocado makes sense because he is very dedicated to his health


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


Oh year as long as they make the cut. Do you know if any of them have tried?


I am not sure actually. Maybe more of them are becoming engineers, that is a better professon


Well engineers make more money because their careers are longer so I would opt for that too


Yeah I think that plays a lot into that. Did you hear about tracking chips on the players?


They are using them to track rotations and velocity and a bunch of other stuff during the ganes


Yeah exactly. Do you know who benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


The guy is a legend, he has ever fumbled the ball in his career


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


Yes I feel bad for Cumberland to lose 222-0 from Georgia Tech


Yeah what a game. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy?


Oh for the yellow line and I am happy because it makes game watching much easier


Yeah me too. On another topic do you know much about the Bible?


Some stuff as it is one of the most influential books in history


Yeah it has sold over 5 billion copies, that says a lot about it


It sure does. Nice chatting with you today.


Yes, I like to watch nfl games, do you like the games also?


Yes me too. Did you know the U of Iowa visitor locker room is pink?


Yes I read about it, I guess they are trying to make a statement to the visiting teams.


Seems like it. DO you know what the highest score in a game was?


Yes if I am right, it was 222-0 georgia Tech vs Cumberland, have you heard of Cumberland before?


I have actually not and that is quite the score. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


Yes for creation of the yellow line representing the first down for football.


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


Do you think they should? 250-300 lbs men hitting smaller women would certainly make things different.


Yeah that is a good point. Maybe they should stick to engineering there is more money there


Yes I agree, I think wnba is great and maybe women should get a all women pro team called wnfl and see how that work out for them.


Yeah that would be great. Did you know they are using trackers in the players now?


Yes, is that used to keep track of nfl players, I wonder why, this should be like invading their private lives, that's just my opinion.


It is only used in the field to track their velocity and rotation and such. Hopefully they can use that to make the game safer too


Yes, you are right, this is good for their safety, do you agree that the average nfl games last 11 minutes?


It seems that they are pretty short yeah but we have to be glued to the tv for hours until that ends


But don't you think that's a little too short to be divided into 4 quarter, quarterback plays, running back plays, kicks field goals that's too much for 11 minutes.


I think the 11 minutes take into account only the time they are running around and not when they get into position and such. Not sure but I think that us that it is


It got to be something like that, maybe, It average take me eleven minutes just eat, hahahaha.


On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


Are you an NFL fan?  Back in the 60s, pro bowlers actually made more money than pro football players! Crazy huh?


That is crazy. I think they all are paid pretty well today.


Yeah, especially QB's like Brady.  He has a book out entitled "The Athlete's Bible".


In my opinion Religion and sports dont mix. Its just a way for him to make some more money.


I'm not sure it's all about religion. I think it's more about mental preparation and even one's physical health (e.g., nutrition).


Well that makes a little bit more sense, I still think its all about the money he will get from it though.


His, wife as a model, actually makes more than him. I  also not so sure he's doing it for money.  He may be.  There are really religious people on his team like Matt Slater.  He's an evangelist off the field.


Its nice to know some of those guys are still good maral characters. With all the off the field trouble you hear about of athletes.


True.  Some of the fans treat them like deities. They say "In Bill we trust" about the coach and some see Brady as a messiah.


In my opinion there is only one mesiah. He certainly isnt a football player. Dont get me wrong I love football. I just dont go that deep with it.


No one should.  It's a game.  BTW, a short game.  They say there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay  in an NFL game.  I find that hard to believe.


I believe it. Most of the game is getting ready for the next play, and then most plays last like 7 seconds.


I played in HS and there was a lot of standing around.  Speaking of the Pats, former RB Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball in his NFL career.  Good hands!


Yeah thats pretty amazing considering how physical the game is.


I'm also amazed that the U. of Iowa has a pink locker room for visitors.


Yeah that seems like they are going to some pretty good lengths to get into the head of the opponents.


Yeah, that's what Brady's book i supposed to be about.  I just learned that Teddy Roosevelt and Jon Q. Adams are the only presidents that didn't use a Bible to get sworn in.  I wonder what they used?


I dont think they used anything. I wonder if they were athiests or why they didnt swear in on the bible.


I can't see that but maybe.  Isn't it wild that they think they found the actual Tower of Babel in Iraq?


In the end, everyone does their own thing.  Jefferson cut out "supernatural" (e.g., miracles) in his own Bible.


Oh yeah.To each his own I guess. I like my bible the way it was written. good chat


Yeah, he's smart, I believe his method that involves lots of avocado ice cream to help him stay at the top of his game is brilliant!


Yeah if you like Avocado ice cream, lol! I think he calls it the TB12 Method.


Yeah, Tom Brady, that is.  He is surprisingly spiritual.


I did not know that about him. He's got like 5 rings now right?


I believe so.  It's crazy to think, on average football games have 11 minutes of actual playing, yet there is so much excitement with watching them.


Right! Hey i guess the Iowa coach thought painting the visiting locker room pink was a good strategy.


Many strange things have happened.  Decades ago bowlers made more than football players.


Yeah i hear twice as much and that Georgia tech Cumberland game was played in 1916.


That's great. Did you know that espn won an award.


Yes!  It is so interesting to learn the history behind things such as the symbols representing first down lines in American football games.


I haven't heard about those. I do know they are going to add tracking chips in the padding of the players.


Yeah, that is a good idea to make oversight of the game and making calls more accurate.


Pretty soon will be watching drones, lol! You know the nfl only produced one left handed quarterbacks?


Yeah, and furthermore, maybe we'll see women in the NFL, since there is no written rule forbidding them from joining.


If so make a all women's team like the WNBA


Yeah, if women do enter the NFL, I'm sure issues of fairness between players will arise.


Right it will change the game forever. Apparently the lifetime earnings of a nfl players doesn't compare to that of an engineer.


With that in mind, maybe being an engineer would be a better idea.


Well only for the long run. Give me a professional 10 year career as a player and then retirement any day.


You too! Don't forget to try the avocado ice cream


Yeah i don't get to watch it much anymore though. I hear bowlers used to make more than top nfl players in the 60's


Thats amazing to learn. I think that has changed just a little.


Yeah as for Tom Brady he swears by Avocado ice cream.


I think I read that somewhere. i never actually tried it though. Is it good.


I can't imagine...but i guess if you add enough sugar to it, haha! He calls it TB12 Method.


Lol. To each his own I guess. Maybe I will try it out.


I do like Avocados. It's amazing to think that those bowlers made twice as much as top performers.


Yeah I have never been much of a bowler. My uncle bowled a perfect game though. He is pretty good.


Wow that's awesome. I got a turkey once. The patriot produced a RB that never fumbled the ball in his entire career.


Yeah that's right. That's quite a accomplishment. Kind of like the college game that scored 220-0


Yeah that is a lot of scoring. I think I would have called benjarvis, double double. Cause dude has two first names and two last name. Lol.


I know make a choice already. Georgia Tech was not playing around with Cumberland, i would not have wanted to be on that bus ride home.


Me either. Bet they avoided playing them for awhile.


Did you hear about the Emmy that ESPN won?


Yeah for the yellow first down line. Genius in my opinion.


Mine too made it a lot easier. You know theres no written rule that keeps women from playing in the nfl?


I think it's more the status quo of the sport that keeps them out. Maybe they could be kicker or punter.


Yeah i don't discriminate but i do think it's just habit to think of football as a males-only sport


I totally agree with you there. Well Im gonna have to get off here Good chat. TTYL.


How's it going, are you a football fan? Tom Brady recently released his best selling TB12 Method


I don't really know much about football, or Tom brady. What is this book of his?


It's a book that details Brady's diet and training regiment which he credits with being able to still play football at 40


That sounds like an impressive achievement! Is it a popular book? Is it for people like me and you?


It's popular with a lot of people, I guess a lot of people view it as a mix of sports and religion


I guess Tom has followers then, like a religious leader.


Yea I guess Boston fans see the Patriots as a religion and Tom Brady as an apostle of the team


Then the team must have other apostles? Or other religious figures?


They do have a slogan "In Bill We Trust" that refers to the patriots' coach


I guess it sounds like a religion. Or a cult. The book must be a best seller. People follow the guidance in the book? Make it part of their lives?


Well Tom Brady does and a lot of his teammates, I guess most non athletes who read it are just fans


How many copies has it sold? It can't nearly so many as the Bible.


I'm not sure but some people think Brady is only motivated by moeny


He probably has a lot of money as a football star. I wonder how much he can make from a book.


hmm I don't know. I guess he could always try another sport after football. The top bowlers in the 1960s made more that the top football stars


That was probably the golden age of bowling. Many leagues formed, and people tried the sport. Probably not ever going to be as popular again.


Well Brady could become an engineer, the average engineer makes more than a football player in their lifetime


That sounds like a plan. The world can always use more engineers.


Yea football players do make a lot of money for only 11 mins of actual gameplay


They do get paid for standing around a lot. I guess they feel that they have worked hard to get there.


Can't say I'm a fan, I could tell you some basic well know facts, but not much else.


Same, I also only have a passing knowledge in football.


Tom Brady I've heard of, very accomplished and successful.  I guess he's branching out from football.


Well he is considered among the best quarterbacks in history


Maybe it will be worth my time buying his new book and watching his show then.


The TB12 Method.  some kind of athletes bible, tells you how to be healthy, physically and spiritually.


By spiritually does he mean the mental component?


No, he's starting to conflate sport with religion, I don't really get it myself.  Probably just a gimmick to sell some books.


In any case, I think he is quite the expert in regards to health and the physical body given his achievements


You can't deny his achievements.  Often these books are not even written by the person they are supposed to be done by.  A ghost writers does the work and a famous person adds their name to the cover.


I can see how that could be true, but without proof, I don't want to diminish a persons efforts


It's kind of an open secret, there's always a clue in the legal page at the front.  Will you be watching his documentary Tom vs Time?


I barely watch TV anymore, the kids usually have access to it.  Most of my evening is also taken up driving kids to their various sporting activities, not Football though.


Well perhaps you can find a short version that only shows the live gameplay. Each game is only a dozen or so minutes long of real gameplay


That's another reason why I don't watch football, three hours in front of the television for just 12 minutes of actual action.  I could just grab my Bible instead.


Not really.  I'm some times curious when I hear people quote from it.  I used to have to do it in school when I was a kid.


I agree. In any case, thanks for chatting.


I like football but not enough to think that Tom Brady wrote the athlete bible ya know.


I am not a Patriots fan or a Fan of Brady


I don't understand why the NFL has been using tracking chips in the players shoulder pads.


They track everything today by tech looking for an edge


That is crazy. Like, everything in the world doesn't need tracking, at least in my opinion.


Yes its getting nuts. Tracking velocity and even rotation


They are even using  a lot of tech in baseball these days


The cell industry is definitely taking over the world.


Did you know that Thomas Jefferson had created his own version of the bible so he could remove the supernatural parts. Thats wild.


Yes, definitely, and also the biblical tower of babel is based on a real building in present day iraq.


Tom Brady is a great player and a football legend, do you agree?


I agree loved his Tom vs Tom documentary.  Have you seen it?


I did, I also loved it, football has become like a religion to Brady, I have to agree on that


Yes.  Did you read his book "The TB12 Method"?


No, I didnt read that one, did you read it?


I haven't read it.  He credits it though with helping him to stay at the top of his game.


I might pick that book up sounds interesting, maybe I can learn a thing or two from it, he must have a lot of healthy habits, success like that isnt achieved without discipline


True.  Did you know that the University of Iowa's visiting players locker room is painted pink?  I wonder why they did that?


Sounds really funny lol, I wonder why they did that as well and I also wonder the faces of the visiting players, it must be confusing


lol  right?  In the 1960's it paid more to be a bowler than an NFL player.  Bowler's made twice as much as the top football stars from back then.


Oh I see, thats odd considering how much money football players make


Yes.  Another surprising money fact is that the lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the lifetime earnings of an NFL or MLB player.


Engineers also make a lot of money, they work for more years so it does make sense


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


That must have been a boring game, 222 points of difference!!! I bet the other team was playing a totally different sport


lol yes!  Former RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball once during his career.  That's amazing.


That is amazing, I bet he is one of the few players with that impressive record


Probably.  I would imagine.  Do you ever read the bible?


no not really, I dont believe in God, but I guess many people enjoy reading it, do you read it?


Not really.  I find it interesting that it's the highest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold!


Theres a lot of religious people around the world and its also one of the oldest books,


I am fine. Do you read the book The Bible?


I have read parts of it. I dont read it very often and I have never read it word for word.


I think that it is a very popular book. Many people have read it and tried to understand its secrets.


I dont know. I dont always take it really literally. I mainly use it as a good set of rules to live by to be a good person.


That is a good guide. There are many lessons buried deep within the scriptures that are hard to fathom. It is a good guide to look to one's conscience.


Yeah thats so true. Did you know that the bible has sold over 5 billion copies. I wonder who has the copyrithg on it.


I don't know. I guess the money must go to someone who uses it to help the church.


Yeah that was kind of a joke. Maybe it was in the wrong time. Lol. Sorry.


I understand. The copyright on the Bible is of course held by a higher power, one not beholden to man's laws. It was a funny joke. I did not see, but now I do. Thank you.


So I wonder if the companies who print and sell the bible, feel the same about that or if they make sure they make a profit off of it.


They cannot profit and remain pure in the eyes of the one who wrote it. They would do well to consider the contents of the very book that they print.


Yeah. I think you have a little more faith in humanity than I do.


Possibly. The Bible has been used by many people for many things, not all of them good. The book is not the laiety.


That is true. Many people have been persecuted in the name of god and the bible.


The Bible is but one book of many. Truth can be unearthed outside of books. The world holds many secrets, but you probably have the most inside of you.


Well aid. I just try to be a good person everyday. I believe in god. I even believe in the bible. I just know that it has be rewritten o many times that who knows xactly what was said in the original. I think the overall message is what is important, and I dont think that has changed.


The original is not the truest, nor is the newest the truest. You will know the truest from your own understanding of truth. Have a good evening, and may your studies take you forward.


Thank you. This has been a great conversation. Hope you have a good one as well.


I do, I think its a great sport and I am a big fan, do you like it?


Yeah I do, I love watching the playoffs.


I like the Patriots too, I live in New England and I also like winning teams lol.


That is cool. Brady said his book "athletes bible" has really helped him stay at the top of his game at age 40.


I hear he loves avocado icecream, not sure if  I like it, theres a lot of flavors better than that one


I know right, icecream plus avocado doesnt seem like a very good combination, but it does the trick for Brady so thank God for avocado icecream lol


Haha yeah! A former patriot running back Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never once fumbled the football in his career!


Thats crazy, the level of skill that guy had, not fumbling a ball and being a RB, thats a hard thing to accomplish


Definitely. The locker room in the University of Iowa is painted pink for visiting football teams.


Thats really funny, I bet thats how you win 222-0 intimidating the other team


I guess it would work. Can you believe top bowlers made twice as much as football players in 1960? That is insane! You never hear about professional bowling anymore.


Its not as popular as it used to be or maybe its because football is a lot more popular than back then


Yeah probably. At least the technology has come a long way, the nfl uses tracking chips in the footballs and the player's shoulder pads.


I heard about that, must be pretty expensive there are 32 teams and a lot of players per rooster.


Not including all the balls they probably go through. I can't believe an average game is only 11 minutes!


That seems like an unreal stat, a game lasts for 2 to 3 hours each quarter 15 minutes without ads,


Apparently it's calculated on live gameplay, who know? haha. It was great talking to you but I have to get dinner now. Bye!


Hello, are you particularly interested in football?


Sure! I think it's interesting that the NFL has no rule against female players.


Yeah I do too! Especially because they seem sexist, the way cheerleaders have to leave if football players were there first.


The NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player’s moves on the field. Maybe they could track players off the field and avoid these situations.


That's a good point! They definitely could come up with some technological innovation, like the first down line, that was absolutely innovative.
