No i wasn't able to see that game. He is well deserving of the attention he gets he works very hard at age forty. One of the things he swears by is Avocado ice cream. you ever had it?


Yuck, no! Agree Brady works hard, but I wonder if his TB12 Method and best-selling book are basically ways to say, "Hey, I'm not just a jock." What do you think?


Maybe i guess it's not like he needs the money his wife makes twice as much as he does.


I've heard that. Are you by chance a fan of the any of the other "football" games, or another NFL team?


Not really don't watch as much anymore, just like to see a good game when i do.


Okay. Good as in competitive? Do you have a favorite team, or prefer not to take sides


Depends on who's playing. My favorite team when i could watch was the Packers. Espn won an Emmy award, did you know that?


Yes, ESPN won an Emmy years ago, for inventing the superimposed yellow line we see on the field in televised games. Who knew? The old Packers were  GREAT team...


Yeah Bret was something else. Still they didn't have any one like Benjarvus who never fumbled the ball his entire career.


I remember Favre well. Another QB legend. Americans are dedicated fans. Some say we need our devotion to sports now more than ever. Do you agree? Why?


Well i don't think were in danger of losing sports so i don't see why more than ever. I can think of far more societal needs to focus on more than sports. I think we put way to much emphasis on those things that matter less and not enough on the things that matter most.


Well said. Some sports fans need more balance and less broo-haa! Maybe Tom Brady will reach that conclusion some day. When football doesn't pay anymore?


We can only hope my friend. Based on the fact that tracking chips are about to be implemented and the fact that technology is not slowing down, who knows where the game will be in 10-15 more years.


Agreed . One thing I miss is relatively commercial-free games. Now, with only 11 minutes of play, it seems we're watching 120 minutes of commercials! Do you mute them?


I know right that's ridiculous. You know New Orleans cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in even if they were there first.


Wacky rule. Maybe that's the future of sports. Less logic and emphasis on the sport itself, more tracking technology, but less game passion. Some folks are just natural sports talent; who needs to know every fact about how they do it??


I do! I'm like Tom Brady, football has basically become my religion. In fact, I need to follow Brady's  TB12 method or his "athlete's bible".


Do you need to get in a better physical shape ? I also have a few pounds to lose.


I'd like to get as healthy as Brady is. Ha! So do you follow football as well? I'm also a huge fan of Benjarvus Green-Ellis. It's fascinating ti know he has yet to fumble the football in his entire pro career!


There is so much definition of football, but is like the "american" football, especially the NFL. It is very spectacular, on 16 games in a season, so every win count.


Agreed. I wish I could have seen Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 back in 1916. That's the highest score ever in a football game. I can't imagine what that was like to see it!


you would have blisters in yours hands if your clapped at every touchdown, it is roughly 30 TD or a TD every 2 minutes.


I know, That's crazy isn't it? Wonder what Georgia Tech's mindset would have been had they been in a pink lockerroom such as the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa? Probably would have made them angry. Ha!


What do you think about the fact that there is no rules against women playing in the NFL ? Do you think because they are progressive or they think that a woman playing in the NFL is so ridiculous that is doe not need a rule ?


I think it's probably progressive and I'm surprised we haven't seen a woman yet - at least a female kicker. I think what holds them back is maybe the size difference. We may see a female playing one day. What about you?


You are right the more respect women have they more seriously they train, I would not be surprised to se a woman playing in a few years. Maybe they will have read The TB12 Method.


Ha! Maybe so! I mean, there's only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average so it wouldn't hurt to have a few female players, I wouldn't think!


Maybe there is to many advertisements, what do yo think ? Or if the players played more than 11 minutes, they would get more injuries ?


I think it's primarily the commercials. Crazy to think it's only 11 minutes though! I wonder if the chips they use to track the movement of players only tracks 11 minutes worth?


Maybe it is to track the concussions too, or maybe it is just for TV special effect, like the yellow line for the first down, so good it won an Emmy.


That is true. It was very innovative and I can't imagine a game without the yellow line now! Did you know that engineers actually make more in a lifetime than both MLB and NFL players do?


The career of an engineer is 2 to 4 times longer than football player. And most football players, even pro don't have a multi million contract. It kind of make sense.


Yeah that is true! Also, it's crazy the regular season lasts 17 weeks. It always seems to go by so fast!


As I have said, it makes every games special and counts a lot more than when you have a 80 game season.


Agreed it truly does! During the offseason, maybe we can follow Brady's athlete's Bible to get us by. Speaking of Bibles, did you know Roosevelt and Adams were the only two presidents that didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies? I figured there would have been more!


Me too, but Jefferson had his own modified Bible, so it almost counts.


That's true! I heard he cut out the supernatural parts of it. I also can't believe it was common for school kids to be required to read the Bible for their elementary education. My, how times have changed! Well it was nice chatting with you today!


Yep. Have been all my life. How bout you.


Definitely. Also play fantasy. Fan of Tom Brady/


Not really Im a Steelers fan, so that wouldn't really go well together. Lol


Hah! Point taken. I didn't enjoy him dismantling my Vikings this year, nor winning the super bowl.


Me either on winning the super bowl. I think my steelers actually beat them earlier in the year. It just wasnt our year.


Help if LeVeon came back and AB didnt suddenly go crazy in the off season huh?


So true. I think the AB thing will hurt us more than leveon. Our backup did pretty well and we have a really good O line


By far. He makes Smith-Schuster a less covered target. I see that the average liftime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average NFL player. Short careers.


Yeah thats true, but I think it would just be awesome to get to play a game for a living.


Definitely. It's also a lot of hard work. I also see that the NFL uses tracking chips in players uniforms and ball.


Yeah thats a really cool thing they do. It gives us a whole new perspective on the way they play the game. lets us know every stat possible. I think its great for the game.


Also helps me realize how much faster they are than me! Did you know a game has only 11 minutes of live gameplay?


That sounds about right. Those eleven minutes are usually suspenseful though.


Yup. Especially the last two minutes! I wish the super bowl had a more exciting ending but it had superior defense.


Yeah it wasnt the best super bowl ever. Especially the fact that the Pats won. Now they're tied with my steeelers for Superbowl wins.


Brady has to come crashing down eventually, with Belichick.


Yeah I would say that run is about over. It was a good one though. They dominated for a long time.


They were fun to watch before they were always expected to win


It just gets old hearing at the beginning of the season because they lost a couple game that they are done, and then they end up in the super bowl. Im just sick of it.


nice chatting with you! Go Vikings and Steelers!


Hi! Have you heard of the TB12 Method before?


Hello. I have not. Is it another weird thing Tom Brady does, like avocado ice cream?


That's a part of it. TB12 Method is Brady's best-selling "athlete's Bible" and lifestyle brand. It contains his secrets for using health, nutrition and lifestyle to maximize performance and longevity.


Ah. Yeah. No. I know he's on a spiritual quest, but sometimes I think athletes go too far.


That may be, but I am interested to hear what he has to say. At age 40, winning his six superbowl, and staying at the top of the ultra-competitive NFL, he has likely learned a few things worth considering.


I'm not impressed with any athlete, and I come from LeBron James' territory. I think the NFL treats their cheerleaders horribly, especially the Saints.


I agree with you on that. Imagine any other profession that prevents you from eating in the same restaurant as your higher-paid employees. Even if they were there first, if a player shows up, they have to leave.  Smacks of "get to the back of the bus baby..."


It truly does. I wonder how they would treat a woman player?


Well, the NFL does not prohibit women from being players, but I can't imagine a woman who would really want to to that.


There are a lot who play on high school teams, so if they meet the requirements, why not?


Yeah, but the average earning potential salary of an engineer is higher


lol Bowlers in the 60's made more than football players. THAT is hilarious.


And the NFL puts tracking chips in the players' equipment to track their every move. What woman would want a room full of men telling them that they watched their every mis-step, and they have proof that they were out of place?  No thank you. Tracking the location of a ball, ok. Tracking the women on the field seems like stalking...


Tracking anyone on the field seems like stalking. It's also creepy that ESPN won an emmy for their superimposed yellow line.


What else can they get recognition for, their insightful commentary?  "If you ask me Dan, I think they are trying to score a touchdown.".... Hidden strategy revealed...


Maybe, lol. I love it that U of IA painted their visitor locker room pink.


awesome! How will the team have the energy to get through those 11 minutes of game play time?


High school games last longer than that. Thankfully, they are no longer required to read bible passages in school, like they were in the 60's.


Yeah, but the children on the football team is required to read the Brady Bible...  I don't know about you, but I don't think deifying Brady is moving in the right direction either...


They do the same here, with LeBron James. Maybe someone should send both ballers a copy of Jefferson's bible.


Nice try.  LOL  Patriot fans consider Brady somewhat of a messiah figure. Is that true in LeBron country as well?


Here, it's hit or miss. While we all agree that he does excellent things for our community, some are still salty over him leaving the first time, along with his attitude.


Well, nobody can deny that Brady and Belichick have performed great together and have accomplished much, but many people forget that both of these heroes were also caught cheating and were fined by the NFL.


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


Yes I tried to watch every nfl game. Do you like Tom Brady?


I like him. I guess he is a book author now as well.


Yes, he got a best selling athlete bible that he believe to help him to play top games at the age of 40.


I guess if it works for him that is great. Did you know women can play in the NLF?


Yes, I like women, but I think this is too ambitious. I don't think 250 or 300 lbs. men hitting women would be safe, women's bodies aren't made for that.


I guess not but it would be interesting to see, maybe have more of a mix in the game


Yes but I can see lawsuits and low ratings, because I don't think men are going to hit women the same way they hit men. Some men can't take those hits.


Yeah that is true. What do you think about that cheerleader rule in New Orleans


That's something else, I don't understand the reason, I wonder do they get a refund if that shall happen?


I am not sure but having to leave because a player walks in is just strange and sexist


Yes you're right, that is sexist, I think women should do something about that and be able to keep their jobs.


Yes agreed totally there. Do you know what the highest score in football game is?


Yes I think it was 222-0 georgia Tech vs cumberland, which I never heard of  cumberland, have you?


I have not and I bet you Georgia Tech are bragging about that to this day


Yes and I pretty sure that was cumberland coach last coaching season. I know they got teased for days.


Yeah, pretty sad day for them. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


Yes try to read the bible a lot, my favorite chapter is Psalm. I also learn certain verses. what about you, do you read the bible?


No I do not but I guess it was part of the cirriculum in elementary education prior to 1963


Yes you are right, several members of my family, brothers and sisters preach, though a lot of people don't believe in women preaching.


Oh wow did not know that is the case. Interesting fact there.


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


I do know that, I live in the city and have actually seen it, do you know why it is pink?


I am not sure what their reason behind it is to be honest. Do you have a clue what it might be?


Yes, the coach back in the day was a psychology major, and found pink was calming. Crazy


Wow I did not know that. Cool one. Do you know what the highest score in college football game is?


I heard it was 222-0 back in 1916. I would have quit if I were on the losing team!


Yeah that is a pretty bad beating. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


I did not know that. That is interesting. You think men can play in the WNBA?


I sure would like to see them switch sometimes. They seem to be using tracking chips on the players now. What do you think about those?


I think that is awesome. They are probably created by engineers that make lots of money.


I bet you they were. They track velocity and rotation and such so I wonder if they can be used to make the game safer


Nice! Did you know engineers make more money over time than NFL players do?


I guess that makes sense since their careers are longer too and they have more time to make money


For sure, but I bet NFL players are paid more per hour. Did you know an NFL game has 11 actual minutes of gameplay?


That just seems so short but I can see how that is for sure, lots of downtime in there


For sure, between the commercials, play clock, time outs, etc. Not much action!


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


I am not religious but I do know some facts about it.


hey did you know that the bible has sold over 5 billion copies? Its the most influential book of all time that's crazy


Wow, billion! That's a lot of copies! That must mean it's translated into various different languages around the world right?


yup thats right, interesting that different religions all use the same bible to get their views, like the Jews and then the Chrisitians


Yeah and prior to 1960s, students were required to read the bible as part of their elementary education, do you think that should occur in today's schools?


no probably not, I think school and religion should be kept separate, I would like to read Jeffersons bible though


Jefferson released a bible? The previous president, Thomas Jefferson?


yup that's him, he cut out all the supernatural parts like the resurrection, so I guess its more of just a regular book haha


Roosevelt and Adams were the only two US presidents to not use a bible at their swear in ceremonies, what do you think they used instead?


ya thats a good question, maybe the constitution? I don't know, did you know the tower of babel was based on a real building btw?


Perhaps they used law books or something like what some Supreme Court justices did when they were being sworn in. Which real building was it based off of?


it was the Etemenanki, its a building in Iraq and still exists, I don't know what it looks like though


I have never heard of that and I don't think I'll want to visit any time soon. I do want to watch a live football game some time though, have you ever been to one?


ya it was a long time ago, I personally only like games on tv, much cheaper and easier to see, I'm glad espn invented the yellow first down line on tv haha


Yeah and they even won an emmy or some type of award for it, I wonder what category that invention for that award falls under.


ya I wonder too, I know there are different types of emmy's, would you ever want to be a cheerleader for football games? My friend was one in college


Did you friend like it? Was he/she treated the way the Saints cheerleaders are treated where they can dine in the presence of football players?


no they could all hang out with players, and ya I don't like how the saints dont let players get together with cheerleaders that seems really backwards


Any theories as to why they have a rule like that?


ya I think its so there isn't any drama with like a player cheating on their wife haha, but I think its dumb, do you think we will ever have a female nfl player?


That could be a really good theory and yes it is quite dumb. It's possible there might be a female NFL player since it's not against the rules but maybe females are smart enough to not sacrifice their brains and health to be in such a physical sport.


yup I think so, football is a physical sport and any girl that plays would have to be very muscular, thats for sure


Hey! I love football. Tom Brady is one of my favorite players of all time. In fact, I want to check out the TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible so I can stay at the top of my game like he does. Ha! What about you?


That's amazing! I love football too and Brady is also one of my favorite players. We both graduated from the same school too!


Oh that is so awesome to hear! It's crazy to think Brady started his pro career as a sixth round draft pick and is now one of the greatest of all time. Plus he's great at rebounding from adversity!


Indeed he is! What's your favorite NFL team?


I really like the Patriots. In fact, Benjarvus Green-Ellis was one of my favorite running backs. He was so talented, he actually has never once fumbled the football in his entire pro career. That is unheard of! What about you?


That is quite impressive. I am a fan of the Lions so we never won too many games here haha


Do you also like the Saints? I do but I hate that cheerleaders aren't allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the football players. That's so misogynistic and it's shocking no one has filed a lawsuit over it yet!


I actually do like the Saints. Kinda crappy what happened to them this year in the playoffs with the referees. And yes definitely not a great culture at all for cheerleaders.


Agreed! I wonder if the same rule would apply if they had female football players. After all, there's no rules forbidding females from playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.


Yeah I recently just found that out. Would you say you're pretty religious?


You would think since there's only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay, we'd at least have a female kicker by now, right? But I do like to read the Bible from time to time. What about you?


Right, I can't believe it's so short considering a game is like 3 hours long when watching it. I am not too religious but I do read the Bible from time to time


It's crazy to think over 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold! No wonder it's considered the best selling and most influential book of all time!


Yeah I think almost everyone I know has a copy! Did you know the Iowa Hawkeye's painted their visitor's locker rooms pink?


That must be a nightmare for opposing teams! Wonder if that would have helped Cumberland when Georgia Tech set the highest score record when they beat them 222-0. Ha!


Haha that is true! It's so surprising that an average engineer will make more in his life than an NFL or MLB player


Agreed. I even wonder if engineers made more than the top bowlers of the 1960s since they actually made more than the top football players as well!


I bet they do. I don't think athletes do very well managing their money after all


Sadly you're right. But isn't it crazy there's so many different variations of football, that they're actually known as "football codes"!


I totally agree! There's just so many rules. It was so great talking to you!


So true! Nice chatting with you as well! I'm gonna check out the Bible. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy of Thomas Jefferson's version where he cut out all the supernatural parts of the Bible. Take care!


Tom Brady is one of  the best players in NFL history, do you agree?


Sure.  He is one of the best, he embodies the Patriot Way with his prep and will to win.


I agree, he has changed football and has changed the Patriots, he has many devoted followers and fans


Do you watch the rest of the NFL?  I do even though there is 11 minutes of actual action in a 3 hour broadcast.


I do, games tend to be really long and Im not convinced by that fact, games seem to last a lot longer, gameplay and all, I wonder if its actually true


Well the NFL tracks everything.  They even have chips in shoulder pads and footballs for tracking so I am pretty sure they are accurate.


I think its great that tech is being integrated into the game, cool stats indeed they should make devices to control the brain damage injuries


You would think that an average NFL player who will make less than an average engineer over his lifetime would want to help their own health.  The NFL is violent.


It is a violent sport, I love it still, there's no rule against a female playing.


Do you like college football?  I watch quite a bit of it, though I did not know until recently the Iowa Hawkeyes paint their visitor lockerroom pink!


That is really funny, painting a locker room pink just to tease the other team, priceless, I wonder if that actually worked maybe it backfires


I don't know.  Maybe they stole it from Georgia Tech who destroyed Cumberland 222-0 many years back.   What a beating!


It was a humiliating defeat that is a sure thing, probably the worse beating in the history of football


So who is your favorite NFL team?  Mine is the Dallas Cowboys from the NFC.  Maybe someday they will return to the Super Bowl in my lifetime.


Maybe 2019 is the year of the Cowboys, my favorite team are the Patriots,


Oh well then you must be thrilled.  Pretty much spanked the Rams.  Tom Brady and Bill Belichick just keep on winning Super Bowls.


And I bet they will for at least one more time, Brady is 40 now, he has a strong determination but still


I think that would be 7 out of 9 tries at the Super Bowl.  I do not think that will ever be broken or at least for a long time will not be.


I agree, I think that Brady is an exaple of what a person can do with deremination, many people think htat his commitment is sincere and not just to make more money.


Can't argue with results.  His TB12 Method seems to be working very well for him.  Him and "In Bill We Trust"!


His method seems to be rock solid and yeah the In Bill We Trust method is also another key complement,


NFL? Is that the National Football League? I know very little about it.


Yeah that one. Apparently women can play in it as well


So women would be allowed to play if they met the league's eligibility requirements?


Yes, I hope to see them there at some point. There are only 11 minutes of active game play


Sounds light, but I bet there are better jobs for them. The average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player.


Yeah that is a great career. I guess it makes sense since the football players have a pretty short career


Did you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders cannot eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player? Seems sexist to me.


It sure is sexist. And the worst is that they have to leave mid meal too. Strange and rude


NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player as they move on the field. The league could track the players off the field to help the cheerleaders avoid them.


Yeah they are using them to track velocity and rotation and such. Hope they can use that data to make the game safer too


Safety should be a top priority. Say, do you read the Bible?


I do not but I know some interesting facts about it? How about you?


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 education?


That is interesting but I am glad it does not apply anymore. I think religion should be a choice


Yes, it should be. Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible, cutting out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection. In a way, he made a choice. He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.


Yeah and cannot blame the guy, it was his choice. Did you know Roosevelt and Quincy did not swear in with a Bible?


I believe they got sworn in on the Constitution, because they felt it their duty to serve the nation.


Well it is a good thing that they have the option. Do you know about the Tower of Babel?


The Tower of Babel was where every language known to man was created, according to the story.


Yeah and people think that it is the etemenanki in modern day Iraq.


Hi! Are you a fan of Tom Brady by chance? I want to check out his TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible that he uses to help him stay at the top of his game at 40 years old!


Yes I love Brady too. I am looking forward to that book as well as the documentary series Tom vs. Time


Same here. I can't wait to see it! I love what Brady says in the first episode: "If you're going to compete against me, you better be willing to give up your life because I'm giving up mine!" That is very powerful!


Wow talk about dedication. I wonder if that applies to any potential women who may come on board with the NFL, since they are allowed to


I know, right? And considering there's really only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average each game, you'd think we would have at least had a female kicker by now!


I know so I am not sure why we do not have one yet. Did you hear about that record breaking game between Cumberland and Georgia Tech?


I have heard about it! That's almost unheard of. Do you think Cumberland would have played any better if they were forced to sit in a pink colored lockerroom like the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa?


Hmm good point there. Or maybe they just needed someone like Benjarvus in their team.


Hasn't he played his entire pro career without fumbling the ball one time? That is amazing and takes some serious talent and skill!


It sure does, yes he is that guy. What do you think about the ESPN winning an Emmy?


I think it was well deserved. The yellow line they created that represents the first down line was very innovative and I can't see myself watching a game without it now!


Yes it has made out life easier. I wonder what they are using those stats from the tracking chips they are placing on the players now.


And the chips they're placing in the football as well! Those engineers are brilliant. But I still can't believe they make more money than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players! That surprised me!


I wonder if that can be contributed to the fact that football players have shorter careers than engineers.


That is a good point. But then again, the top bowlers made more than the top football players back in 60s. Wonder if the bowlers back then made more than engineers as well?


Hmm good point, they likely did. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I know quite a bit, actually. It has sold over 5 billion copies which is a big reason why it's considered the best selling and most influential book of all time!


That is mind blowing for sure. And it was part of the education system until 1963 too.


That surprised me, honestly! Did you also know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version by cutting out the supernatural parts? I'd love to read that version one of these days!


Yeah he really did not believe in resurrection and miracles. I wonder if that is the Bible he used to swear in


I wonder that, myself. Speaking of swearing in, did you know the only two presidents that didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies were Adams and Roosevelt? I found that to be interesting! Well it was great chatting with you today! Take care!


I enjoy the getting together with friends part of it but I could take or leave the actual sports events....except when I am watching my children play.  How about you...what's your favorite sport?


That is the favorite sport in my household as well!  Tom Brady is quite the dedicated player both on and off the field, don't you think?


Yes, he is arguably the greatest steal in nfl history


I think a lot of people would agree with you.  I am in awe of his dedication to living his best life!!


I mean he didn't even get to play at all in highschool, but wow he is amazing now


Right!  And to think that he was a sixth round draft pick!!  Do you think if he hadn't been drafted he would've done a career involving nutrition or religion?


Then we wouldn't have the famous brady of today. Good thing he got picked


Someone with commitment like that though perhaps he would've been famous in another career area.  Have you read his book?


Yes, that's what I am referring to.  I've read some mixed reviews and wonder if it's worth the read...


I mean all these self help book I think are a decent read most the time, but what matters is you


I guess if you are going to take self help advice from anyone, Tom Brady would be the guy.  He is definitely leading by example


That is true. But the question is will you act on this advice?


That is a good question.  Would someone read the book looking for self help advice or just merely to get to know Tom a little better?


I guess it would depend on the individual


I agree.  Me personally I think it would be a bit of both....you know, take what you can use and disregard the rest!


I mean that is how I look at religion. There is no reasons to be stuck following only one religion such as following the bible. I think people should learn a basis understanding of all religions first


Good point.  The same could also be said for his diet and life choices.  I think it would be hard for the average person to be as strict as him with those things, but one could definitely benefit from a few of the tips!


Indeed. In any case, thanks for chatting.


Hello, yes I do. DO you have a favorite team and/or player?


I do actually, I love the Patriots and my favorite player is Brady. And you?


Nice same here. They did a great job this season. Did you know Brady has written a book?


Is that the Athlete's Bible? And I hear there is a documentary in production, Tom vs. Time


Yes I am looking forward to that one for sure. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yeah that is pretty cool, I guess they have to meet the requirements but still pretty awesome


Yes it is. And engineers seem to make more than football players in the long run


I guess that makes sense because football players have shorter careers


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


Yes I think it was back in 1916 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0


Yes that one, what a game that must have been. ESPN once won an Emmy, do you know what for?


Oh was that for the superimposed yellow line?


Yes that one, It has certainly made our lives easier watching the game from home.


Oh for sure, no question there. Did you hear about the NFL using tracking chips on the players in the field?


Yeah they are tracking velocity and rotation and speed and all that fun stuff.


Yes, and I hope they can use those stats somehow to make the game safer for the players


Me too. Did you hear about that weird cheerleader rule they have in New Orleans?


About not being able to eat in the same restaurant as the players? So sexist and wrong


Agreed, I hope they get rid of it very soon. Do you know who Benajrvus Green-Ellis is?


I hope so too. Yeah he is the rb who never fumbled a ball in his career.


Yea, I'm a huge fan of the NFL although I don't take it to the level of religion like Tom Brady does


He actually fulfills the whole purpose of his life with football


Yea, I guess sports has a lot of similarties to things in religion such as saints, rituals, and community gatherings


And commitment too .But I do like to follow the 17 week season, I had not realized each team only rests 1 week during the season.


I never knew that engineers on average make more than nfl players in a lifetime, I guess NFL careers are pretty short


Exactly, that is why. An engineer has to work many more years. Did you know about a football match were the highest score was achieved?


Yea Georgia tech scored 222 points on Cumberland in 1916, that's pretty bad


Yeah, more than 100 years ago!! Nothing like that has happened since then!


Yea so much has changed since then, now football is on tv and espn even created a superimposed yellow line to represent the first down line


Correct and they even won an Emmy for that. did you know about a pink locker room?


Yea the University of Iowa painted there visiting locker room pink, I guess they are trying to play mind games with their opponents


Trying to intimidate them, But I think is a pretty funny joke. Do you like any other types of football?


I've watched Australian rules football and Rugby before although they aren't on tv much


They call it football codes. There is also a Gaelic football


Interesting. I mainly watch the NFL even though the games only have an average of 11 minutes of gameplay for each game


That is crazy, but I am sure you enjoy the whole thing. The game stops all the time. But personally , I like it like that


Yea and the nfl collects a lot of stats for the game by embedding tracking chips into shoulder pads and the football


That makes it more interesting. You get to know details as ball seed rotation and more


Yea and maybe one day the nfl will have female players for some positions since there is no rule forbidding them


It would be cool to see. If they meet the requierements, they could play!


Well enough, considering they've been in the Super Bowl so many times. Why do you ask?


He has a book out called the TB12 Method.  Wasn't sure if you were familiar with it or what it was about.


It's a book about creating a healthy lifestyle and he credits it with him staying at the top of his game.  Are you familiar with his documentary called Tom vs. Time?


Oh, the one that Gotham Chopra is working on! Yeah, I've heard of that.


It's pretty good.  After watching it, it changed my view of him.  I believe it's on Facebook Watch.  Are you a fan of the NFL?


I thought it was weird that Deepak's son was working on a sports documentary, but if you say it's good I'll have to check it out. I follow the Cowboys more than anything.


I like the Cowboys.  Did you know the highest scoring game ever was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0?


I did not! I don't follow college ball too closely.


I watch it but mainly the smaller regional schools if I can get them in.  In the 1960's the top bowlers made twice as much as the top football stars of the era.  I'm sure that's not like that anymore.


With so many people watching and so much tech invested in the NFL, I wouldn't doubt it. The payoffs have to be worth the money put in. They even put tracking chips in the balls to analyze.


That's crazy that they are going that high tec into a sport.  Although like you said with all the people watching there is big money involved.


Maybe Tom Brady's onto something with his whole "treat football like a religion" idea. Seems like a lot of fans already do.


Yes!  Speaking of religion did you know that the bible is the biggest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold?


I wonder how that compares to the number of NFL game tickets sold.


Probably crushes the ticket sales I would guess.


There are other Patriots that are very religious, like Matt Slater. I'm sure the overlap between fans and church goers is not insignificant.


I didn't know that.  Former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball once during his career!


It just seems like the team dominates regardless of time or subject!


Yes!  It was a pleasure chatting with you!  Have a good day!


Good morning.  Do you like NFL football?


Yes.  I just learned Tom Brady has a book entitled "The Athlete's Bible".


Not really... I do respect his ability.  He does have an interesting philosophy.


I agree with that.  I do not care of him as a player or person but you can't deny is greatness.


Yes.  There is a sort of spiritual side to the Pat's.  One of their ST players, Matthew Slater actually in an evangelist.


That is interesting.  What about the TB12 method?


I think it's Brady's personal philosophy include diet and health. A columnist named Bob Ryan described it as "cult like" but I have zero faith in news people including those in sports.


I am aware of Bob Ryan, I watch a lot of sports shows he is reputable.


Don't know him but that's quite an accusation.  When I think of football, I don't think of pink locker rooms like those for the visiting team at U or Iowa.


I have heard of that pink locker room as well.  Seems like it would man you down a bit


lol Yeah... Did you know that pro bowlers made more money that pro football players in the 1960's.  Hard to imagine...


That is crazy, boy how the times have changed.


Yeah, one new development I like is the yellow line introduced by ESPN for the 1st down line.  They won a well-deserved Emmy for that.


I don't think anyone can watch football without the yellow line anymore, what an innovation


Yes, it makes me even lazier for the post-Thanksgiving dinner football.  Speaking of lazy, it is said that there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay in an NFL game.


That is crazy, then why does it take 3 hours?  Seems like it should move along faster.


They must be going from snap to whistle but that still seems way low.


I agree with that, it must be all the commercials


I played in HS and there is a lot of standing around waiting be people to do stuff like move the markers.  Oh well, did you hear that the Tower of Babel may be real and located in Iraq?


I agree with that.  It was based on a real building there.


Cool.  I would love to see that.  Thanks for the chat!


Hi, how are you? Are you ready for a fine chat today?


The NFL? The National Football League? Yes, I've heard of it. Is it any good?


Well it is good and a very big deal in the US now. Even women can play if they qualfy


Women? Wow. How do the women do against the men?


I am not sure but I would like to see them play together. I mean there are only 11 minutes of active game play


11 minutes seems like a short game. Don't they have to play longer usually? What about the commercials and stuff?


Yeah that is what keeps us glued to the tv for that long. In the 60s bowlers made more money than football players


The 60s bowlers were the epitome of cool. Everyone wanted to be great like them.


Yeah I guess, things have really changed now though. But still engineers make more than football players now


Engineers are the ones that make everything in life possible. They should be paid more. They should have competitions every Sunday.


Ohh that would be pretty cool, what ideas they come up with. And they are the ones that likely made those tracking chips they put in the players now


They sure are! The game is safe because of engineers. The players should be grateful. The nation should be grateful. Have you read the Bible recently?


I have not but I know some facts about it. How about you?


I have read the Bible and have not found the answers to the questions that I had about football.


Yeah I do not think they are there. They might be in the version that Jefferson created


Jefferson created a bible? How much money did he make on it? I know he was rich.


Yeah he created a version of it and took out all the supernatural stuff because he did not believe in it


There must not have been much left! I guess it was short book. Why did Jefferson do this? Was he angry at God or something?


No he just did not believe in resurrection and the miracles that are in the Bible


That is astounding! He helped create America, and that is a miracle that deserves to be in the Bible!


That is a good point, he was one of the main guys at that time.


I don't follow him very closely.  I know he is a dominant force in football.


He's a very dominant force. He's also in tune with his spiritual side. He's a really deep individual.


That's really cool.  I heard there is a documentary or something coming out about him.  Tom vs Time?


That's what I heard as well. It's supposed to document how came from a 6th round draft pick, to one of the best there's ever been. I'm excited to see it.


He didnt even get a chance to play when he was on JV in high school, they refused to start him as their backup.  Now look where he is, 6 rings.


Coach Belichick helped Brady and company a lot. He really knows how to bring people together for a common goal.


That is why there is that "In Bill We Trust" motto


They mesh really well together for being so different. Brady is larger than life to fans, but you hardly hear about Belichick.


I heard that the fans describe his fashion sense as raggamuffin


I heard it's hard to view him as being charismatic.


I can see that.  Brady on the other hand has those qualities.  That is why they are such a good pair.


It takes a special bond for someone to comeback after being down 28-3.


That is partly why there is the TB12 method.  And so many buy into it


Bob Ryan doesn't believe in it. He said Brady isn't a spiritual figure and he thinks his new book is creepy?


I havent read his book, but I personally dont see him as a spiritual figure, just a good football player.


I think his spiritual side allows him to be more in tune with what is going on around him. If it works for him, it works for him.


Very true.  Everyone has their own path, just because one might differ from mine doesnt make it wrong.


He is a great example of what can happen to someone that is truly committed in what they believe in.


Very true.  Its been great chatting, but I must get going.


Hi! I do! In fact, I've been wanting to follow the TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible that he says helps him stay at the top of his game at 40! What about you?


I watch football. Tell me little bit more about this method. Do you practice any sport? I guess TB12 Method focus in physical activities.


It's Tom Brady's best seller and it appears to really work considering  he's appeared in six super bowl in eight tries!


Ok. Good luck then! Are you fan of any football teams?


I honestly love the NFL in general. Even though the regular season is only 17 weeks long from September to December, which is way too short. Ha! What about you?


I don't have any teams I really like and support. But I also was wondering why this is just 17 weeks long. Any idea?


I honestly don't know! Even though it is followed up with six teams from both conferences moving to the playoffs leading to the Super Bowl. Starting with four division winners and two wild card teams from each conference.


Ok. Do you know that NFL has no written rules against female players? But it looks like they have sort of eligibility requirements.


You would think we'd at least have a female kicker by now, right? Especially when you consider there are only 11 minutes of live NFL gameplay on average per game.


Exactly. But why no? With all movements in the society, I'm wondering why there isn't fight for female players...


To be honest, if they want to do it for the money, they'd be better off entering the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players! That would seem like a wiser financial choice!


Absolutely! Are you surprised about comparison of engineers and players? I was sure players make a lot of money.


Same here! That was surprising. In the 1960s, the top bowlers even made more than the top football players, which I couldn't believe and also found to be very sad, honestly.


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


Really? That is insane? Do you think they were angry because their lockerroom was painted pink like the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa? Ha!


Good joke! Honestly, I'm not sure this is respectful strategy to have painted pink room. I honestly don't think this smart.


It sounds like a bad idea. Ha! But not as bad as forbidding cheerleaders from dining in the same restaurant as the football players like the Saints do. That is plain wrong and misogynistic, in my opinion!


I also surprised why this rule is still here, because it could be not legal from a lot of points of view. But I'm sure nobody follows it. It's like tradition.


Hopefully that's all it is, otherwise there would be some lawsuits I'm sure. I mentioned the athlete's bible earlier, but are you familiar with the regular bible as well? It has sold over 5 million copies, surprisingly, which I guess that's why it's the most influential and best-selling book.


I used to read Bible when I was a child. I honestly didn't know that until 1963 it was quite common for students to read Bible as a part of elementary education.


I didn't either, honestly! Just as I found out recently Jefferson created his own version of the Bible by cutting out the supernatural parts. That was interesting! Well it was great chatting with you today! Take care!


Doing well, I was just reading news about Tom Brady's new athlete bible, have you heard of it?


Yes I believe i have heard about it. Have you read it?


No, but they say Brady is like a "messiah" to patriot fans,  I think some people spend too much time with football, how about you?


Absolutely. Football takes over Thursday night saturdays and all day sundays ughhh


Some people take it too seriously, did you know the Univesity of Iowa's locker room for the opposing team is painted pink?


LOL yes and what gets me is that no female has ever tried to be i the NFL. Thres no rule against them being on a team.


Most women have better things to do with their time than play a game, it is lucritive though, amazing how times change, in the 1960's top bowlers made more than football players.


Yes that is amazing. As well as the average NFL game only has 11 minutes worth of gameplay.


Seems like much longer than 11 minutes.   Do you know an engineer makes more in a lifetime than a football player, and doesn't have to worrry about getting a concussion.


I know I would be unhappy to be a saints cheerleader, they have crazy rules.


Yes they do. LIke the restaurant rule. I mean seriously thats crazy


That would nbe annoying, but I guess that track everything, the even use chips in shoulder pads to track the players movement.


Yes I agree. Do you know how many supposed sales of the bible there have been? Its over 5 billion copies I hear


Wow, I bleive it has been published in many languages, speaking of language, do you know the Tower of Babel was based on a real building in Iraq?


No I did not. That and every president has been sworn in on the bible except 2 of them.


Kids used to have to read the bible in school, after 1963, that only happens in private school, I wonder if our societal slide would be as great if we still exposed kids to the ideas about treating others with respect that are in the Bible?


Thats a good question. Its been good talking to you.


Hi there! Wondering if you like football? Tom Brady says football has become his religion!


I do like it!  Yes...he even wrote a book about how he maintains balance in his life called The TB12 Method.  Have you heard about it?


Yes! I love that he wants to know why we're here and what our purpose is!


Yes!  He credits it with helping him to stay at the top of his game.


He does! I like that he recognizes sports in a polarized nation can actually bring us together.


I agree.  They do tend to bring people together.  Have you seen his Tom vs. Time documentary?


No. Interesting football fact, did you know the NFL has no rules against women playing if they can meet the requirements?


I think I did hear about that.  I wouldn't be surprised if we see a woman make it here within the next few years.  There's quite a few playing at the high school level now.


Yes!  Did you watch the super bowl this year?  It's usually held on the first Sunday in February.


I did! It was great. Crazy that an engineer's average lifetime earnings are higher than an nfl'er.


Yes.  I'm guessing probably because they have a longer career.  In the 1960's top bowlers made more than the top football stars from that era.


I did not know that! Did you know that the Saint's cheerleaders can not eat at the same place at the same time as an nfl player and even have to leave if a player comes in while they're eating?


I didn't know that.  That's a weird rule isn't it?


It is! The NFL also uses tracking chips to track players and footballs. Tech sure has changed the game!


Yes it is.  That seems to be getting a little too technical if you ask me.  lol


So, back to Brady's interest in the bible, did you know prior to 1963 schoolchildren often read from the bible as part of their education?


I didn't know that.  I do know the bible is the highest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold.


I am not surprised at all. I know there were only two presidents, Roosevelt and Adams that did not use a bible at swearing in.


I didn't know that either!  It was nice chatting with you!


Hey, how are you? Have you heard about Tom Brady "The TB12 Method"?


Hi! I have as a matter of fact. It's the athlete's bible. Ha! I heard Brady credits it for being in such great physical shape at the age of 40!


I would love to. Honestly, I'd like to follow it during the off-season just to get me by considering the NFL' s regular season schedule is only 17 weeks long from September to December. It flies by!


Are you NFL fan? I honestly watch sometime, but don't consider myself as fan


I am a big fan honestly. I love the Saints although I don't love that ridiculous misogynistic rule they still have in place that forbids cheerleaders from dining in the same restaurant as the football players. It's like, how has no lawsuits been filed over that one yet?


It looks like old tradition and I'm not sure anyone follows it. Also there is a question about penalty. Ok, a lady decided to stay in a restaurant. What will be penalty for her? It's interesting question.


Agreed. I can't believe in this day and age no one has complained about it yet. Just as I can't believe no women have been signed by any teams yet considering there are no rules preventing them from playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements, ya know?


It could be next stage for #metoo. If any lady try to be NFL player, but will be rejected. I'm sure it will be huge scandal.


So true. You'd  think with there being only 11 minutes of live gameplay, they could at least sign one to be a kicker, right?


I'm not surprised. A lot of commercial. Just a lot. It's really annoying.


You are right about that. But I suppose women would be better off financially by entering the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players. Which is surprising to me!


I'm sure a lot of money go to TV, owners of teams, etc. Just not fair for players! Did you know that the highest score in a football game was 222-0. Can you believe?


That is insane and humiliating. Do you think Georgia Tech was mad because their lockerroom was pink like the visiting football team's locker room at the University of Iowa's are? Ha!


I don't think this is only reason hahahaha. Poor players! I would stay at home for year if I lost game like this. Because everyone will makes jokes about me and this event. Just want to change topic. Do you read Bible?


Tell me about it. I don't know what's worse: that it knowing the top bowlers made more than the top football players back in the 1960s. I read it sometimes. What about you?


I used to read a lot when I was child. I didn't know that apple and evil was the same word in latin "malus" and just in 4th century apple become apple.


Wow! I didn't either! I also didn't know that Adams and Roosevelt were the only two presidents who didn't use a bible for their swearing in ceremonies. I figured there would have been more!


Do you know any reasons why it wasn't used for ceremonies?


I honestly don't know! But speaking of Bibles and presidents, Jefferson actually created his own version by cutting out the supernatural parts. Wonder if that version is called the "King Jefferson" version? Ha!


That's good one! It was nice to chat with you. Have a good day!


Great chatting with you as well! I'm off to research the Etemenanki. They say the biblical tower of Babel was based off it. Have a great day!


I watch here and there but not too much.


ever since the kneeling, I quit watching


Ahh.  I totally disagree with the kneeling thing too.  I just dont have cable so I dont tend to follow too much.


I know. It is like a given at this point.  Im beginning to wonder if Brady is even human


that's great that you cut the cable. I did also. No regrets.


Just some internet and nextflix here.  If I care enough to watch a game, I have friends to go see it with.  And if it is total blow out, like that one 222-0 game, we can just play games and chat instead.


Yeah, not sure how the cable companies are going to stay in business many of us cutting the cord/dish


I think they are going to start offering streaming packages, or lowering prices.  Id be cool with picking a few channels that I like and paying $20.  I do get into some NCAA football.  I do like it better when my team does well though.


Yes, I think you are right about that. That makes sense to offer a package of channels that are actually watched. I would do that too if the price were right. Who's your team?


Florida State.  They have struggled the last few years.  Sent some strong people to the NFL who didnt workout too well recently.


Even college sports is starting to get a bit political with the playoff system and all of that.  Why cant we just play and be proud?  Why do we have to analyze everything?


Yeah, it's tough to watch ESPN anymore. Seems very political. Watching sports to get away from that mess


Very true.  Athletics is like my break from all of that.  ESPN won an Emmy once for the yellow line.  I dont know what category that fits in to for an Emmy, but its pretty neat.


I don't think I've seen the "yellow line" will have to check that out.


It is digitally added where the first down marker is so home viewers can see it a little better.


Ahh ok, yes I have seen that "yellow line". I thought you meant they created a film or documentary called the "yellow line".


Ahh.  That would likely be more worthy of an Emmy than a CGI line on a field.


I think we can go now after 10 turns. That's $2 towards you next cable bill. Ha!


Hello there, do you watch the NFL games?


I watch sometimes, but it's hard to keep up with it all. Do you know much about Tom Brady?


I know he is a great player and like him a lot as one. Apparently his favorite ice cream is avocado one


Not only that, but football has literally become his religion


Yeah it seems so much so that he now has even wrote a book on the aport


There's even documentary about his rituals in preparing for the season


Yeah he is all over now. Did you know women can also play in the NFL


I wonder what the eligibility requirements are though, since none have played so far


Yeah I wonder about that too but would be nice if they played too. Do you know what the highest score in a game has been so far?


Wasn't it a college game between Cumberland and Georgia Tech? 220-0


Yeah it was, what a game that must have been. I bet Georgia Tech still brags about it


It's likely in a hall of fame somewhere, though it wouldn't have been on television


Yeah I guess so. DId you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


For the superimposed first down line? I don't know if I would be able to keep up with the game without it!


Exactly so I think it was a well deserved award and it made our game watching easier


That and the chips used in the footballs and shoulder pads to track all the stats. I think those involve the viewers more


Yeah I really hope they can use the stats from those chips to make the game safer too


Maybe if the 11 minutes of live gameplay becomes safer, women will join the NFL


Yes that is a good point really. Technically they can play is they meet the requirements.


I think many of them are becoming engineers instead. Over their lifetime, they're likely to make more money than the average player without the risk of injury


Yes that is a much better option. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I actually do, and not the version Thomas Jefferson created where he cut out the parts he didn't think were worth keeping


Yeah he must have really not believed about the miracles and the resurrection.


I watch some once in a while.  Always try to catch the play offs


Did you know that in the 1960's that top bowlers were better paid than top football players? Can you imagine that now?


I d work a bit harder on bowling..  lol  That is crazy though.


It is. I would have chose that route also. Much less difficult on the body. Do you know what the highest score ever in football was?


It was 222-0  Almost impossible to believe that even happened.


It is so crazy! How is it even possible to score that many points during one game?!


Im guessing a combo of a really good team vs. a bunch of toddlers or a really bad team.


I can't imagine. They must have been scoring the entire time. Did you also know that ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow line that we see on TV that indicates the first down line? I can't imagine watching football without that.


Me neither, my mom was surprised when she went to one of my brother's live games in HS and it wasn't there.


Ha ha, that's hilarious. It definitely helps you to know what's going on. Were you also aware that there is a RB that never fumbled the ball in his career?


Yeah, he plays for the Patriots too.  Probably contributes to their on going success.


I'm sure it helped. I've also heard that the NFL on average has only 11 minutes of live gameplay per game. I knew there were a lot of commercials but that's surprising.


Well the clock runs sometimes when they are walking to the next play.  Plus all the celebrating makes the game a lot longer too.


I agree. Did you know that the NFL has no written rules against female players?


I heard that. If there was a female player I hope theyd treat them better than the cheerleaders.


Are you referring to the way the Saints treat their cheerleaders?


Yeah.  Its crazy that they have to leave even if a player walks in while they are eating.


I had heard that. It's pretty disgusting. It's one thing to say they can't be in the restaurant together but another to say that if the cheerleader was there first and eating she has to get up and leave if a player enters.


I wonder why people haven't fought that?  It just seems so wrong.


Good question. I did hear that a cheerleader for another team tried to unionize because she was only making minimum wage and she was fired so that may be part of the reason. They do not seem to treat their cheerleaders well.


Maybe one day that will change.  I must get going.  Its been great chatting!


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


I'm good!  I know that it is the biggest selling book of all time.  Do you know how many copies it has sold?


It's got to be more than a billion. I figured almost every person on the planet could have one.


Yes I agree!   It's sold over 5 billion copies!


That's tremendous! Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for American students  to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education?


I didn't know that.  Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible.  Wonder why he did that?


He wanted to out the 'supernatural' parts, such as the miracles and the resurrection. He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.


Interesting!  Speaking of presidents and the bible...Teddy Roosevelt and John Quicny Adams were the only 2 U.S. presidents who didn't use the bible when they were sworn in.


I think they swore on the Constitution. They felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.


That's interesting!  I didn't know that.  Are you a fan of any of the 32 teams that are in the NFL?


I don't follow the NFL much. Do you have a favorite team?


I like the Steelers.  lol  I'm more of a baseball fan.  An engineer will make more in their lifetime than the average careers of an average NFL and MLB player.


That's one good reason to become an engineer. We need more engineers anyway.


Yes I agree.  An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.  Seems short for what's supposed to be 60 minutes of game time.


So much waiting around. I guess it creates anticipation. The tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player's moves must show them standing still most of the time.


Yes lol  Those tracking chips seems like they are going a little too far just for a game.


I guess it helps understand the game for strategy, maybe injury prevention.


That could be.  That didn't cross my mind.


I'm bothered that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can't eat in the same restaurant as any NFL player.


I agree.  That seems like an odd rule they have.  It doesn't make any sense.  Did you know that there's no written rule against a female playing in the NFL?


do you think the female players would have to leave the restaurants as well? Anyway, it's been fun chatting!


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


Hi there! I know a little about the Bible and recently found out that the Tower of Babel was based on a real building in Iraq!


The Bible is full of interesting discoveries! For example, did you know that an apple only became known as an "apple" when the Bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century?


I didn't! Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own Bible version because he didn't like the supernatural parts!


He wanted to see religion in humanist terms. He wanted to understand the morality of Christianity without the miracles.


That's a good explanation! Did you know that Roosevelt and Adams are the only ones who didn't use a bible at their swearing in ceremonies?


I think they were sworn in on the Constitution. They felt that they owed allegiance to the people and the government first.


That's good. I thought maybe they didn't believe in the Bible.  Many football players kneel after games to pray. Do you like football?


I sometimes watch football. It's interesting that the NFL has no rule against female players.


It's very interesting, just like Iowa's pink visiting team locker room.


The pink probably is meant to have a psychological effect. I can't imagine it matters much, or everyone would do it.


Do you think there was much psychological effect when Cumberland was defeated 222-0 by Georgia Tech in 1916?


I think probably the Cumberland guys wondered why that game was scheduled in the first place. Pointless really.


I'm surprised Georgia Tech kept actively scoring points.  I wonder how many points Benjarvus Green-Ellis has scored since he never fumbled in his career.


The guy is a legend. He should get a special bonus for that feat.


Definitely! I wonder how much he really played though because the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay!


True. The action is sparse, but pretty violent. I guess fans love that aspect of the game.


Yes we do! I also love the yellow line on tv...did you know ESPN won an Emmy for that?


I did not know that. I guess it must have been a nice line. Anyway, thanks for the chat! Have a good day!


not so much but i hear Tom brady has one the super bowl and written a book.


Yes, Tom Brady has one it several times. He is thought to be one of the best ever and he's still going strong at 40 years old.


Yeah your right. have you seen tom vs. time?


I haven't. I'm not a Tom Brady fan, but it sounds pretty interesting, especially how he's trying to figure out the "whys" in life.


Yeah he's got a good head on his shoulders. He said that in one of his spiritual episodes.


I also think it's interesting that he feels the football and sports are considered a type of religion to some people. I've never thought of it that way.


Me neither. Like i said there fans are devoted in both him and bill belichick.


I've never heard of the author, Chopra, have you?


Well i think that's deepak chpora's relative.


You're right...I do remember reading that now that you mention it. Changing the subject a little...I was reading an article of some little known football facts. For example, University of Iowa has a pink locker room for visiting team... Do you know any?


Sure the patriots had a former running back who never fumbled the ball in his career. Do you know who that was?


Yes, that was Benjarvus Green-Ellis!! That's pretty awesome! Can you believe ESPN won an award for the creation of the superimposed yellow line? lol


Hey don't knock the line man it change the way we view the game and made life easier, lol!


Good Point!! Lol I had no idea the NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads. How crazy is that!?


Soon all they will be is computer chips, just like that movie. advanced men playing sports, lol.


You're probably right...well maybe games will be cheaper to attend then...they won't have those high salaries to pay the players!


Yeah right you know they'll find a way to stick to us. Did you know that if a player comes into a restaurant to eat and a cheerleader is there the cheerleader has to leave.


No! That seems ridiculous in this day and age!


Right kind of sexist. i understand about fraternization but come on.


Right!!!! But, yet, women can play football. The NFL doesn't have any rules against female players.


Well they should form a WNFL. have a good night nice chatting.


Yes, the NFL is great and it's awesome that there is not written rule against female players.


Yeah I like that fact and hope they play at some point. On the other hand they should get rid of that rule for cheerleaders in New Orleans


Yea, I agree it is ridiculous that cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if players show up.


Yeah that is too sexist. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of game time


That is crazy and I didn't know that. Did you know that engineers lifetime earnings are higher than the average lifetime earnings of an nfl player.


I guess it makes sense because their careers are also longer


That is a very true point, I didn't think about that. Did you know that there are tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record players movements.


Yeah seems like they are collecting lots of stats such as velocity, rotation and such. Hope they can use those to make the game safer


That would be nice. I think it also helps that the NFL is taking concussions more seriously.


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


I do not know has much as I probably should for how much I use to have to go to church, I do know that prior to 1963 it was not uncommon for students in the U.S. to be required to read from the bible as part of their grade school education.


Yeah I am kind of glad that is gone as I believe religion should be a choice and not imposed on anyone


I agree with that. Did you know that Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams are the only two U.S. presidents that did not use a bible at their swearing-in ceremonies.


Did not know that. I know that Jefferson created his own version of the Bible


Jefferson sounds like a very interesting fellow who used a razor to cut out the supernatural parts in the bible.


Yeah he must have really not liked the miracles and the resurrection pat of it


I guess not. I do find it interesting that malus in latin means both apple and evil. That would makes things a little confusing in the bible.


Yeah I think so too. Did you know that people think that the Tower of Babel might actually still exist?


Yea, I guess it is the etemenanki in modern day Iraq.


Yeah, if that is the case I would like to visit such a historic place.


I'm good thanks. Are you a football fan?


Not a die-hard fan but I keep up with it. What about you? I have some trivia about football if you're interested.


I'm about the same. Sure, I'd like to hear it.


Do you know about the tracking chips the NFL uses during the game?


I have heard a little, I'm surprised they are able to use it during the game and not just practice.


No, they use them on every player to track his every movement and also in the ball. In the players, they put the chips in their shoulder pads. The chips inside the football measure location, speed of the ball and rotation of the ball.


Technology is amazing. I can understand why they would be useful. If a player is getting tired they could tell right away.


I bet they can really compare performance between players pretty good with them, too. Did you know Tom Brady has a bestseller?


I have heard something about it. I might get a copy. I think it's something about he keeps healthy at 40.


Yes, it's called The TB12 Method and it's also called the "athlete's bible". He eats avocado ice cream, I didn't even know there was such a thing.


I didn't know about avocado ice cream either. I wonder if he uses a spoon or scoops it with doritos.


LOL. Speaking of Bibles, did you know there were 2 US Presidents that didn't use a Bible when they were sworn into office?


Know I didn't know that. Which ones were they?


Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams. I'm not sure why. I do know that Thomas Jefferson made his own version of the Bible, he cut out all the verses on the resurrection of Christ and on the miracles of Jesus. He used a razor to cut them out and pasted them into his own mini-Bible. He was a believer.


That's interesting. I wonder if Roosevelt and Adams were atheists. I'm going to have to look that up.


I know, I'm wondering the same thing. Well, you know the Bible has sold a few more copies than Tom Brady's book, actually. Over 5 billion copies. I don't think he's going to catch up EVER.


I don't either. It's been nice talking to you. Have a nice evening.


The NFL? You mean the National Football League?


Yes. Do you have a favorite team or player?


Um, no, I don't. I don't know much about football. There are many teams in many places and many players with many faces.


Yeah that is true. Do you know how many teams are there?


There are probably 2 or 3 dozen that are good at football. Good enough to be professional.


32. That makes sense. That's an even number, so it can be divided by two. Are there two leagues or divisions or something?


I am not sure about that. Do you know what the highest score in a game has been?


The highest score in a game? Probably over a hundred points. I don't know. Is that a Tom Brady game?


It was actually 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland. What a agme


That's bogus! Why would they do that? That seems cruel to humiliate that school. I think the other team should have forfeited.


well they stuck to it it seems. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


I think that has something to do with the breast cancer awareness movement or something.


I am not sure actually. I hope that is the reason. Did you know bowlers made more money than football players in the 60s?


Bowling is a sport of kings. Bowlers deserve more money for their elegance and charm.


I guess so. But that has certainly changed now. Still engineers make more over their lifetime than football players.


I think that it would better to be a bowler, but then again I ain't so good with math. I guess engineers have a great future.


Yes it seems. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I've read a bit at the beginning and the end. Not much of a plot. Kinda confusing.


Yeah I have not read it either but it seems to be packed with history.


Do you know Brady? he is a great QB a hall of famer


No, I don't follow football closely. I know the U of IA's visiting locker room is pink. I guess there are worse ways to intimidate a team.


I agree but it is an intersting tactic, intimidate a team by pink, that might slow them down.


Maybe when they first painted it. Not today. I cannot believe that espn won an emmy for that superimposed yellow line. Must have been a bad year for entertainment.


I agree, doesnt seem to be worth an Emmy,


I find it hilarious that bowlers in the 60's made more than football players.


I find that hilarious as well, pro players make so much money not that seems irrational


Well, how else is Brady going to pay for his avocado ice cream?


I hear he eats lots of them, part of his success I wonder if its actually good for his performance


I don't know. It sounds disgusting to me. It's interesting that he is on a spiritual quest, yet looks at football as a religion.


I guess for many it is a kind of religion, that would make Brady one of the saints or angels of the NFL religion?


Who knows. Maybe he will be like Jefferson, and create his own version of the bible.


Maybe he will I might read that, sounds like an interesting book, did you hear about that humiliating defeat Cumberland suffered


I don't keep up with football, sorry. I am unsure how I feel about the tracking chips in the footballs and shoulder pads of players. Sounds very invasive.


It does seem invasive, I agree with the chip in the football we can learn about the game by placing the chip in the ball


Interstingly enough, Teddy Roosevelt and John Q Adams didn't use a bible at their swearing in ceremonies.


I guess they arent religious, they sure lost a lot of votes because of that,


I wouldn't think so, as people back then knew how to separate country and religion. Unlike today.  Weird though, they did include passages from the bible in schools.


I think religion shouldnt be mandatory we all have different views, cultures and they should be respected,


I don't think so either. I do find it ineresting that apple means both fruit and malace.


The name has an interesting origin I agree,


Same here. I like Tom Brady the most probably. Do you have a favorite player?


I do, my favorite player is Brady as well, he is so talented, he was won everything and still has the determination to win more


Yes for sure and now he is even a book author. Did you hear about that?


Yeah two books actually, The TB12 Method and Athletes Bible, so he not only makes money from endorcements but also from books


Yeah talk about talent all around. And he stays healthy by eating avocado ice cream it seems


They were the favorites to win the last Superbowl and it seems Brady had enough avocado icecream do to the trick


There you go. Did you know women can technically play in the NFL?


I didnt know that although its not a suprise they dont play in the NFL, can you imagine that?


I am curious what they would look like. It is good they have the option. Not like New Orleans cheerleaders, did you hear about their rule?


No, what rule do they have concerning cheerleaders?


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


There not? that is a really bad rule did you know that ESPN won an Emmy because of the yellow first down creatioin?


That is pretty cool to win an award for it. But I guess it does help a lot if you are watching the game from home especially


It does, I think its one of the greatest inventions in the game, it keeps the game more organized and also easy to follow


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


No not really, who is Benjarvus Green-Ellis?


He is a former QB who played for the Patriots and never fumbled the ball in his career


Oh I see, he must have been a great QB then, not fumbling, that sounds like a hard thing to do


Yeah he was for sure. It was nice chatting with you.


Yes, I like soccer. It's very popular all over the world.


Are you talking about soccer or American football as in NFL?


Soccer is called soccer in the US and football everywhere else.


I see, well I don't know much about soccer but I am interested in odd facts about sports. Did you know there is a college football team that has painted their visiting teams locker pink?


I would guess that has something to do with breast cancer awareness. I know that many football players suffer from breast cancer in the later years.


I never thought of it that way, that's an interesting perspective. Tell me why you like soccer.


It is a good game for women. I think women fight harder on the pitch than men do.


I have the feeling you are a woman. So you like soccer because they fight?


I think it is a good way to get even on the green. To set things aright. American football would be a better way, but we are not allowed to play.


You're right there is no need to fight in American football because the whole game is one big fight.


True. Men have it easy. They can find reasons to fight and people accept them.


Do you like to fight or do you just like to blow off steam?


I like to blow off stream by fighting through playing a sport. Do you read the Bible?


I have read the Bible, but lately have developed a whole different concept of what God is. How about you?


The Bible tells us to seek righteous vengence upon our enemies on the field of battle. There is no field of battle for women. We must invent one.


Maybe you should join the MMA. Are you familiar with that?


Yeah, it's good, but I'd like to see more examples of it.


Wow, I hope I don't ever get on your bad side.


I hope to meet God some day and challenge her to a cool MMA sport match-up.


Nice. I assume you like Brady then too? He is a obok author now as well.


I am, it's a pretty good book, it's very inspiring.


I have not read it yet and I am also looking forward to the series TOm vs. Time


I think that it will be good. He's done so well staying healthy all these years.


Yes he sure has. I wonder if that is the reason he sticks to healthy ice cream too, avocado


Probably, and he's had a good supporting cast on his team. From his linemen and the staple of good running backs. He had Benjarvus Green-Ellis, he was a stable back. He never fumbled in his career.


That is so impressive that he managed to do that in his career. Did you know women can play too in the NFL?


I did not know that. There's no written rules against it?


Yes there is not but I do not know of any women who have tried for it


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


Was it 222-0? I know Georgia Tech beat Cumberland by that much in the early 1900s.


Yes it is still that record. What a win. On another topic do you know much about the BIble?


I know a little bit. When I went to school it wasn't uncommon for us to be required to read from the bible. Although I went to school way after 1963.


Yesh that seems strange. It has already sold more than 5 billion copies


Did you know that apple only became known as an apple when the bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century?


Yes because it has the same meaning as evil too, from the word malus


That's pretty interesting. I've heard that Teddy Roosevelt didn't use a bible at his swearing-in ceremony. I wonder if there was an outrage back then?


I wonder about that too. Quincy did the same thing as well.


Hi, how are you? How much do you know about the Bible?


yes I do. It the best selling book of all time


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? Times certainly have changed!


My mom told me that. Thomas jefferson did not believe in miracles and the resurrection.


True. He created his own version of the Bible, He wanted to see religion in humanist terms.


Teddy roosevelt and john quincy adams must not have believed as well


They did not use a Bible at their swearing-in ceremonies. I think they swore on the Constitution.


It interesting how the work apple came about


That is an interesting coincidence. The word "malus" means both apple and evil. So Eve actually ate evil.


good point. Tom Brady is a true believer and a very spiritual person


I guess he would be sworn in on a Bible. Maybe his own. LOL.


Haha, he did write his own bible like book called "athlete's bible"


I guess that must be a best seller since he's a champion and all. Have you read it?


I will one day. I would like to see his facebook videos called "Tom vs. Time


That would be interesting. The NFL has a lot of interesting personalities. Did you know that the NFL has no rule against female players? Women would be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.


I never knew that. I do not like the fact that cheerleaders cant eat with the players


Yeah, the cheerleaders are required to leave. That seems sexist. The NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player's moves on the field.  Maybe they could record their movement off the field and avoid these situations.


It cool to know that ESPN created the superimposed yellow line representing the first down


I guess it was innovative for its time. Now it just seems to normal and obvious. Well, I enjoyed chatting!


Me too. I am about to go read Tom Brady's book


Enjoy! Use it for your swearing in ceremony!


Morning! Not sure about you but I really like Tom Brady, health enthusiast and football player. Did you know about his spirituality?


I dont really like the Patriots but Brady is the best I have ever seen, and no, what about his spirituality?


He take a spiritual approach to life and the game. He says he wants to know why we're her e and our purpose. Then he tries to unite people too.


I think thats great, he published two books The TB12 Method and the Athletes Bible.


Yes, that's right! So moving on to football, did you know the highest score ever was georgia tech vs cumberland 222-0?


222-0!!! was the other team blind? that's a humiliating defeat wow


haha-I know! I did not know that the term football covers any sport that involves kicking a ball with the foot, did you?


Yeah thats soccer, its actually my favorite sport


Oh, nice. I also had no idea that the NFL has no rule against female players so long as they can meet eligibility requirements.


I had no idea either, what are your thoughts on this matter? seems like woman are at a disadvantage because of the strength the game needs


I say play if you can! Did you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders can't eat at the same restaurant as a player and have to leave if a player is there?


That is a really unfair rule, did you ever watch the football player Benjarvus Green Ellis play?


Ok so he was a running back for the Patriots, he used to be great, never fumbled a ball, his retired now


Wow! That's impressive. Did you know the NFL uses chips in shoulder pads and balls to track velocity ball speed, rotation and location?


I did not, its crazy how tech is taking over the world, over sports, it has made the game better though, just like the creation of the first down line in football


Yes, agreed. So back to Tom's mention of the bible. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible?


He did, I wonder how its different from the original version, Jefferson was a really smart man


Yes, very smart. It differed in the fact that he took a razor and removed all of the supernatural references. Good talking today!


Thats odd, why take the miracles and supernatural parts out of it I guess he had his reasons.


Hello, my great friend? How are you? Have you thought about football recently?


hello im good and no not since the superbowl im into basketball are you?


Basketball? Is that even a sport? I thought there had to be blood for a sport to be recognized in the Bible.


ha! i guess there would only be football and hockey if that was the case.


True. Blood makes a sport a sport. Women's soccer is a sport, men's soccer is not a sport. I figure that basketball should add helmets, pads and tackling to make it real.


hmm to each his own i guess bible times and modern times differ a lot who knows maybe it would be acceptable now.


In the 60s bowlers made twice as much as top football stars. Bowling isn't technically a sport according to the blood criterion.


you have a wide range of sports knowledge i see how'd you come to learn so much?


I have to say that it was my strict religious upbringing. The athletic catechism that I received gave my holy insight into sports. Football is the holiest, of course.


I don't reckon that my forebears gave it a proper name. They called it The Faith. We kept The Faith. Football and sports were part of The Faith.


Very interesting may i ask what football team your a fan of?


Favoring one particular team is a transgression in The Faith, for all strive to be recognized in the eyes of the Creator. There is no hierarchy among the Saved.


I see, is there a form of church of this religion you speak of?


Not a formal church. The church is wherever members of The Faith gather in congregation to exalt in the name of the Creator.


How would one go about attending one of the services?


We are not a proselytizing religion. The Bible has hints and signs of how to join, but only the Pure can enter The Faith and co-join with the Creator.


I see i live in a big city i have a feeling it would be hard to get into it.


Do not despair. Other have watched football and found way to the Faith.


I won't, I guess I'll just watch more football.


Peace. Prosperity. Faith. Football. Have a blessed day.


Hello, are you by any chance a fan of the New England Patriots football team?


I know some about them.  Mostly stuff about Tom Brady


Great. What do you think of his record as a QB?


He is obviously one of the best.  I heard he is having a documentary made about him called "Tom vs. Time"


Yes. 1st  episode aired on Facebook in January. More to come, I understand. Behind-the-scenes stuff.


They say what is really the important part of it is his devotional love for the game.  It is what gives his life purpose apparently


Agreed. His best-selling book has been dubbed an "athlete's bible". Not so sure I'm comfortable with that term...


Yeah that is different.  He credits a method called "The TB12 Method" with keeping him at the top of his game at age 40


Don't know much about it, but I can say that the recent term, "lifesyle brand", which applies to Brady, disturbs me. There are commercial "brands", sure, but lifestyle brands? What do you think?


It sounds a bit like a cult following to me.  It says that football is his religion.  Strange to me I guess.


Agreed. But then I guess I'm not a superfan. I love sports, but it's entertainment to me, not religion. What's your take?


Definitely just entertainment.  It seems to be his main goal in life though.  Sad. He says to live his spiritual life through sports is a very authentic way to go


Mmm. I'm no expert, but I wonder if Brady's just really trying to say, "Hey, I'm more than just a jock." Which a lot of people already know...


Maybe so.  A Psychology professor, Daniel Wann, says that sports bring people together more than religion.  I agree unfortunately that that is probably true


Good point. But I've been at soccer (football) matches where nasty fights broke out. Sports divides too, doesn't it?


You very right actually.  I saw that the Patriots have their own saying "In Bill We Trust"  I am not sure I like that motto.


Right. Belichick's no god. He is a great coach (when balls are properly inflated), and Brady may be the greatest QB of all time. Did you see the Patriots' Super Bowl game against the Atlanta Falcons?


It is very true but still they are only human right?  They say that the fans have a near religious devotion.


Heard that. When you have a team that can come back from a 28 to 3 deficit and win a Super Bowl in overtime, that ability to rebound from being down radically energizes people, don't you think?


It can for sure but for the fans to describe him as a kind of Messiah.  I just think that is going a bit far.


I agree. That's way off center, and must be offensive to some devout faithful of many religions. Don't think Brady has divine inspiration, just great human inspiration and athletic skills.


They say they'r some players who try to keep the focus on their faith in God rather than the team


Glad to hear it. Hoped they're not mocked too much. Some folks, like Pro Bowler Matthew Slater, have been downright evangelical off the field, but done it quietly, not "for the money", as it were.


Yes, I've seen that.  I read that Slater and other patriots were featured on Football Sunday, a national church based outreach event on Super Bowl Sunday.


Good that they got a sound bite. Alghough lots of us will never really buy Brady's messianic hype, we can always appreciate his football accomplishments, and wonder how many tens of millions of $$$ he's getting in sponsorships. For life!


Yes he started his career as a 6 round draft pick and now he is arguably the best ever at his craft


Absolutely. His name is already carved into millions of memories. Great to talk football with you.


Hi! I love watching football! I enjoy watching on tv and appreciate the yellow line, but don't think it was Emmy worthy for ESPN


Yeah that is quite an award. Do you have a favorite player or team?


I love the Green Bay Packers!  What do you think about tracking chips in the players' shoulder pads?


I like it because they seems to track velocity, rotation and such which I hope can be used to make the game safer


That's true the safety impact could be huge! They need to be a little more concerned about womens rights in New Orleans with their cheerleaders!


I think so too, it is rude and sexist. Why can;t they be at the same place.


Especially when they were there first! Obviously football players aren't as great as everyone thinks because an engineer makes more in their lifetime than our overpaid football players.


Yeah I guess their careers are shorter so they have less opportunity to make money


Yes, just surprising with what they make per year! I wonder how much Benjarvus Green-Ellis made with never fumbling in his career?


Yeah that is pretty amazing, what a talent. Did you know U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink?


I heard that! I wonder if that tactic actually works. Maybe Georgia Tech did too when they defeated Cumberland 222-0 in 1916...


That is such a record, wow. Maybe that is what it was. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of active game play


That's insane with how long the entire game takes! Did you know that bowlers use to make more money than football players?


I cannot really wrap my mind around that. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I know some, but didn't know Roosevelt and Adams didn't swear in on the Bible...I thought presidents had to!


I guess it is optional. I wonder what kind of Bible Jefferson swore on.


I wonder if it was his own with the supernatural parts cut out?


I am not sure but he just did not believe in the miracles and the resurrection part in the Bible


I wonder if he believed in Babel because people think it's based on a real building in Iraq.


Yeah it seems to be the etemenanki I would love to see that.


I do, I  love football, Tom Brady is one of my favorite players.


Apparently he has some exciting ideals about his success.


He is one of the most successful players, he wond the Superbowl with his teammates this year


Yeah i didn't see the game. I hear he owes his success to the Avocado ice cream he eats.


Really avocado ice cream? that doesnt sound like a good food for a player, but who knows maybe it has secret properties


Yeah he says it all part of his tb12 method.


I guess its as good as method as any, Brady must win a lot of money, bowlers used to make more money in the 60s


Yeah i know twice as much can you believe that? The patriots are slighted to win the next superbowl as well.


Yeah, the Patriots are a team with a solid base so yeah, it would make sense to watch them win another Superbowl but football is a game full with suprises, one never knows


That's true i would honestly like to see another team raise to the occasion. Cheerleader are not allowed to stay at a eating place if a player comes in.


Thats a really messed up rule, that is totaly unfair, it should be the players the ones that have to leave, that rule makes me so angry


Yeah it does seem sexist. i do understand that there trying to avoid employee fraternization.


Its really odd, did you know about the tracking chips players have embedded in their shoulders?


I heard about that, soon we will be watching drones and AI players.


I agree, tech is taking over the world, many football players suffer brain damage towards the end of their careers so maybe they can make tech that keeps players protected


They should set a limit to how long a players career is as well. Theres a movie about that brain damage you mentioned.


Really? I havent seen that one, what is it called? I bet many people in the industry disliked the movie


It was called Concussions, Will Smith played the main character. The NFL went to great lengths to keep all this quite


Oh I think I watched that one or at least fragments of the movie,do you think that movie changed things?


Very little but regulation about helmet to helmet and the design of the helmets changed. Nice chatting with you.


I hope things can change in the future, its been nice chatting with you as well.


Ho there, yes I do very much so. DO you have a favorite player?


Yes I sure do , I really like Brady a lot as a player. And you?


Nice me too, I love the guy a lot. Do you know his favorite ice cream flavor?


It is what is super healthy, avocado. He is very dedicated to a healthy diet for sure


Yes he sure is. Did you know he wrote a book also now?


Yes the TB12Methond, the Athlete's Bible. Have you read it yet?


I have not read it yet. And there is also a documentary series Tom vs Time that I would like to eventually watch


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


I wonder why that is though. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


It is 222-0 and it dates back to 1916 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland


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


Yeah they won it for the superimposed yellow line and I am happy about that .


Yes it has made game watching at home much easier for us for sure


Agreed on that. Do you know who Banjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Yeah he is a legend, he only guy in NFL to have never fumbled the ball in his career


What a guy really. Did you know about that weird rule that New Orleans cheerleader shave to abide to?


Yeah about not being able to eat in the same restaurant as the players. What is up with that?


Yeah and they have to leave mid meal. That rule is sexist and has to go


Agreed on that. Do you know much about the Bible?


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


Yeah exactly and it was part of the education system until late, like 1963


Hello, do you watch football, as in the NFL?


I have watched football. Sometimes in between, I read.


Nice. Did you know women can technically play there too?


Women can technically do many things, but shouldn't. I think that men could technically become NFL cheerleaders. Should they? Only the Bible can say.


I guess. Speaking of the Bible, did you know Jefferson make his own version of it?


I guess it could be called a Bible, but it lacks the essence, the crux, the soul of the Bible. Who was Jefferson anyhow?


He was one of the presidents of the US, the early ones. I guess he did not appreciate the supernatural within the Bible that have to do with resurrection and miracles


He failed to see the promise in those miracles. I guess he tried to plot his own course, one not parallel with the Bible. I bet Jefferson would even watch football if he were alive today.


You never know I guess. Do you know why an apple is called as such now?


Well, what else would we call it? We had to have a name for it, and I guess Steve Jobs came up with a good one.


Well it originates from the latin language malus which means both apple and evil


I never thought the fruit was evil, but the company was literally so. Apple. Hm. Never would have guessed there was evil lurking in its skin.


I guess so. In the US up until '63 the Bible was a required read in elementary schools


I figure they would let that Jefferson one in the schools. Too bad.


Yeah I guess not. The Biblical tower of Babel actually is believe to be a real building that exists today.


A real tower? Does it say "Babel" on it? Or TRUMP?


Well, I am not sure what it says in it but it is the Etemenanki in modern day Iraq.


I'm surprised a building of that size has lasted so long


I have no idea, but I am glad it survived. History should not be destroyed. Going back to football, the games apparently last only 11 minutes of active game


I guess the players have other things to attend to. They are pretty busy. Sunday is a work day for them. I hope they are editing the Bible like that Jefferson fellow.


Yeah that is true. It was nice chatting with you.


Hello hello there, do you watch the NFL games at all?


I love watching the NFL games, it is my new sunday religion, how about you?


Nice, I only watch it sometimes. Did you know women can play as well?


Oh there you go. The game lasts only 11 minutes really do anyone should be able to do it


My ex wife could be in the NFL, she is so strong


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


I bet they do, you really only last a few years in the NFL depending on how good you are. Did you know in 1960 the top bowlers made more money than football players?


Yeah that is insane to me. But even now engineers make more than football players over their lifetime


That is so insane also, I want to be an engineer just to make more money.


Yeah I guess it is a good profession for that. Did you hear about NFL using tracking chips on the players?


I did not know that, are they in their shoulder pads?


Yeah they are and they track velocity, rotation and a bunch of other stuff.
