Exactly!  I agree and think there are a lot of people who share that view.  And right!! That was one of the worst blown calls of all time!


I could not believe what I was watching. I think I was just as upset as a Saints fan probably was. I wish they had some recourse to overturn that decision but the NFL would never allow that.


I think they might change the rules to be able to review any flags in the final two minutes of every game.  It will take more time but gotta get the call right.


Yeah I would trade some extra viewing time to make sure my team doesn't ever suffer the same fate as that. I wonder if they would be able to have a real time ref viewing these plays and making calls to help expedite the process.


I think they could, if me and you can see it on tv, and make the call in a matter of a minute or so, then they should be able to do the same real time in games.


With the level of technology we have today, there is no way it's not possible. It was fun chatting NFL with you, enjoy your day!


Hi, are you an Eagles fan?  Nick Foles completed 26 passes for 352 yards in the Eagles win Sunday.


No, I am not.  I am a Cowboys fan.  Foles is good though


Do you think Brady will get a 6th championship ring?


No, I sure hope not.  The nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.


Did you know they use tracking chips that are in players shoulder pads to record players moves on the field


I have heard that.  That's crazy.  The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an nfl player and an average mlb player.


On that note, matt patricia is the only rocket scientist in the nfl.  He was an aeronautical engineer


Wow, that's interesting.  The author of a games of thrones called the new england patriots the lannisters of the nfl


New England Patriot Vollmer is the first german citizen who was drafted into the nfl


Neat.  Buffalo bills are equal to the new england patriots ... in super bowl losses


Interesting fact with numbers is that the patriots under tom brady and bill belichick either won or lost the super bowl by 3 or 4 points all 6 tries


That's a neat fact.  Bill belichick is the winningest coach in nfl postseason football with 21 wins. 20 with the new england patriots and 1 with the cleveland browns.


Wow, not my favorite teams, but impressive.


No, not mine either but they are always competitive.


Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl surpisingly


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


One smart guy.  Did you hear that the Jackson's "victory tour" played a major role in robert kraft buying sullivan stadium and the new england patriots


No, I didn't realize that.  Near the end of super bowl 46, the new england patriots let the new york giants score a touchdown, and the giants tried to avoid scoring a touchdown, both to increase their odds of winning. the giants involuntarily scored a touchdown but won anyway.


that is strange! Did you know that the quarterback with the most wins in the cleveland browns home stadium is Ben Roethlisberger since their reintroduction in 1999


Haha, no I sure didn't.  Probably more than the Browns!


Well with 32 teams in the NFL divided equally between the AFC and NFC they have 17 week regular season games entertaining


Absolutely cool.  Great chat! GO COWBOYS!


Do you think there is too much downtime in a game ?


A study showed that there was 11 minutes of live gameplay in a match, what do you think of that ?


that's because it's so quick. the plays are like bang, bang


Yeah, I like this type of action. You know when it startd and you know when it stops, unlike other sports.


The plays are only a few seconds but they are action packed.


Do you wish there were more games ? 16 is not a lot, more game would bring more rivalries.


yes, but the players would get injured a lot more- you would need 60 man rosters


It is a good point, I never thought about that, that it is why there are so many chips in their equipment too, to monitor concussions.


Even with all the new rules for safety there are a bunch of injuries to key players every year.


And they are not paid that much if you take the lifetime average, an engineer would earn more and less likely to have a concussion.


yes thats surprising, but if you take into account that an engineer can work 40 years and a football player is lucky to make 10, i guess that makes sense.


They should be a program to reinsert retired football players in society, most of them go to university but few of them leave with a useful degree, like Alex Smith.


yes. their former teams should help them with employment.


What do you think of the Patriots ? They seems to be a good team.


Yes. But I dont think that Brady has much left. They will need another QB


They could have Blake Bortles, he does not seems to find success in Jacksonville.


They could, but I think they will look for a QB out of college


I think you are right, it would be the best in the long term, and for financial reasons. But how do you recruit a good quarterback without having a losing season ?


The Patriot Coach is smart. So is the organization. They will find someone, they always find players out  of nowhere.


I sure do. Did you know that women can play in it as well?


Yes there is no written rule that says that they cannot play


Yes , if they qualify they are then good to play like the rest


Yeah. The average gameplay is only 11 minutes after all


Yeah but we are glued to the tv for forever for a game


Yeah. Engineers make more over the lifetime than footballers


Yes they also have longer careers though so maybe that helps there


True good point. Did you hear of that rule for the Saints cheerleaders?


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


Yes and they have to leave mid meal if they walk in somewhere


Yes it is sexist and it needs to go really


Yes I do. Did you know he was a back up QB in high school?


Yes and he never got started although the team was doing really poorly


Their loss I guess. Did you know ALex Smith finished college in two years?


Yes he took lots of ap tests in high school, really planned for it


Yeah and he started his masters before he was even picked in the draft


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


Yes it was Paul Hubbard who was deaf and did not want the other team to understand him.


Yes that was very smart of him. Nice chat


Do you know much about football? I feel like being an american I should know more than I do.


Hi, how are you? Football is a complicated game. Lots of rules, plays, strategy. One of the most important positions is quarterback.


Tom Brady seems to be really good even though a lot of poeple don't like him.


I think they resent his success. Plus NE Patriots have been caught doing some suspicious stuff. The NFL has only one left-handed QB. A bit surprised by that.


I wonder if left handed quarterbacks are more successful like left handed baseball players. Something about them just throws the rhythm off and they can get more plays.


I might require the other players to adjust to the QB. I don't know. There are lot of lefty baseball pitchers, so I would have expected more QBs like that. Only two Africa-Americans have won the Super Bowl.


I think the Patriots are like the Yankees but for football. They are great but everyone loves to hate them.


They have a lot of money now too. Tom Brady has done many things, but he has never thrown a TD to hmself. Only Brad Johnson has done that.


Last night's superbowl with them was a yawn fest to say the least.


The SB gets so much hype.It's pretty hard to live up to. Until last night, the Pats have won or lost Super Bowls by 3 or 4 points.


At least the patriots treat their cheerleaders well


That's true. The cheerleaders in general get poor pay. The job looks glamorous but it's pretty hard. The NO Saints probably use tracking chips to track where cheerleaders are going as well.


If I had a job where someone told me I had to leave simply because a player of the same team came in, I would be so ticked.


I don't know how often that happens though. Probably the team had problems in the past, so they wanted to prevent them. Maybe romantic relationships between players and cheerleaders?


who knows...There is a lot of money going around the NFL for only 11 minutes of game play.


On a per-minute basis, that's a pretty good job.


Very true. If they could stretch their careers out longer they would make bank. Too bad there is such a short shelf life on pro players.


It's probably better to be something like an engineer: educated, plus few injuries. Not many cheerleaders though.


No but not having brain damage from concussion would certainly make up for that.


That's true. The NFL has come a long way. In 1932, the first playoff game was played on an 80-yard dirt field. Now, the giant stadiums are the norm at every level of ball.


It is amazing the money they pour into those stadiums. Our state put one in a while back and the taxes were insane.


The New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles have the best chance of winning the super bowl


Yes they both have a 4 to 1 odds of winning. But we shall see who gets to the Super bowl.


New England has better odds at 26%, and the Eagles starting quarterback suffered a knee injury which puts him out for the season.


I am a Pats fan but Tom Brady is getting old. His passer rating is 81.6 and is his lowest in 6 years.


The Jaguars might have a chance, with Calais Campbell


Yes they have really turned around from last season. They only had 3 wins last year.


The Falcons were ranked 7th in the 2017 season, and only the Patriots and the Saints had more yards gained per offensive drive.


Did you know that the puts tracking chips in players shoulder pads to track their movement on the field.


No, I didn't know that. Did you know that the quarterback touches the ball on almost every offensive play?


Yes except for special teams or some tricky plays.


This seems kind of unrelated, but did you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat at the same restaurant as any NFL players? They are even required to leave the restaurant if a NFL player comes in!


That's weird, I did not know that. It seems old fashioned.I like random facts, did you know that Kellan Moore is the only lefty quarter back.


Here is another random fact: the Buffalo Bills have the same amount of super bowl losses as the New England Patriots.


Did you know that Russell Wilson still has a current MLB contract and hasn't played since 2011.


Did you know that the circular huddle that is used all the time in football today was created by Paul D. Hubbard, who was deaf, so that the other team wouldn't be able to see his hand signals to his teammates.


No I did not know that, that is really interesting. Back to Russell Wilson he is one of the two only African-Americans quarterbacks that have won the Super bowl.


Did you know that women aren't actually not allowed to play in the NFL? There is actually no rule against them playing! They would be allowed in if they could meet the league's pretty difficult eligibility requirements.


Interesting maybe someday. Did you know that the super bowl winning quarterback Brad Johnson, threw a touchdown pass to himself. And he is the only one to do so. I wonder how that play looked.


That would be interesting to watch! Back to the super bowl. It seems like the Patriots have the best chance of winning it, yet again, despite Tom Brady's average going down.


Yay go Patriots!!!! I really hope they win, and wonder if he will retire if they do. I would if I were him. He has had a good run and I would want to go out on a good note! Besides kickers he is one of the oldest players in the game.


I completely agree! Tom Brady should go out on a good note winning the Super Bowl!


I am, what about you? Patrick Mahomes might be the best player ever?


That's going to be a tough call...he might have a tough time beating Brady's super bowl wins.


For sure, he is so fun to watch. He came back from Denver and that 10 point difference which is pretty nuts.


Yes!  I find it funny that the Browns' last playoff win was in 1995 against the Patriots and the winning coach that day was Belichick!  It would be his first playoff win ever and the only playoff win he's had as a head coach outside of the Patriots!!


What a loss by the Browns, would have been crazy to hear about the Browns dynasty lol


lol Yes!  Speaking of the Browns...their QB Baker Mayfield almost quit football to pursue a full time competative gaming career!  That would have been a risky move.


It would have been for sure, I wonder what games he plays, maybe Fortnite?


He claims that he was able to beat anyone at the University of Oklahoma one on one in Halo 3 - so I would guess that's his game of choice.  lol


That's pretty cool, it'll be neat to see all the future stars being so good at games that became popular when I was an adult. He was probably 10 when it came out and played for so long.


True!  I never thought of it that way.  Bill Belichik is the winningest coach in the NFL postseason with 21 wins!


20 with the Patriots and 1 with the Browns! Did you see what happened at the end of Super Bowl 46? That plan backfired for sure.


I've seen so many super bows I can't remember....what happened?  lol


The Patriots were trying to let them score a TD but the Giants did not want to because of the time, but they still ended up winning. I'm not sure if it was the 2007 or 2011 Super Bowl.


Ahhh....I kind of remember now!  Did you know that Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB in the NFL?  I don't even know who he is! LOL


Was he? I thought Steve Young was left handed too? Did you see the reason of the circular huddle?


I think they mean currently....Vick was too...lol  What is the reason for the circular huddle?


Because of Paul Hubbard, he was a deaf quarterback and did not want the other team to see his hand signals.


That's interesting!  The author of the Game of Thrones called the Patriots the Lannisters of the NFL! lol It's been fun chatting with you!


Thanks, it was good to chat with you as well. I hope you have a good rest of the night, take care!


Hello,  do you watch football? Did you know women can play football?  I had no idea!  That is amazing!


Yes i did!  That's really cool, but in the same league they allow the New Orleans saints to make a rule that if a player enters a restaurant, and there is a cheerleader already there, that the cheerleader has to leave.  That's ridiculous!


Yeah that is really rude.  It is not the cheerleader's  fault,  and what if they havent finished their food yet.


Not a clue!  A bit barbaric if you ask me!  Do you like football?  Amazing any of us really like football being there is only 11 minutes of actual game play!


Yes,  I watch some.  yeah it takes like 3-4 hours for the whole game only to see 11 min of game play lol Too much to keep up with though,  so many fouls,  time outs,  breaks...


Yeah that is true... and too many commercials!  I like Quarterbacks, but i don't like tom brady.  See he was on the bench a whole season and the coach never put him despite the team not winning a game or even scoring a point!  Crazy!


That is the reason you dont like tom Brady?  Yeah that is interesting,  they never knew he wouldve been great!


Nooooo...I don't like him because I believe he's on a team that cheats!  Speaking of QBs... I can't believe there is only one left handed QB in the NFL and it's Kellan moore!


I never heard of him what team is he on? The Patriots cheat?  How?  Sorry I am not up to date on football knowledge.


He is on the patriots.  They were allegedly caught deflating the ball for a better grip under the mandatory pressure.  They also had spies at training camps and practices video taping plays.


I meant what team is Kellan Moore on.  Oh wow,  that is crazy I had no idea,  that is scandalous!


oh... I have no clue!  But I do know the patriots play in Gillette Stadium in the greater Boston area


George rr Martin calls the patriots the Lannisters of football lol


No clue what that is.  I do not watch the game of thrones.  The head coach of the Patriots first started with the Cleveland Browns


That is interesting. The patriots are tied with the Bills for super bowl losses.  You dont watch Game Of thrones?  Omg.


LOL... no I do not :) But I do enjoy watching Bill Belichick lose in the super bowl! LOL


Right,  are the Patriots in the Super bowl this year?  That is coming up next weekend I think.


unfortunately yes!  Every-time you turn around they are there!


yup seems like it.  Who are they playing against next sunday?


I guess you would have to be to make it to the super bowl... right?  Bill Belichick has the most playoff wins with 21.  I guess that's why they are always there!


Theres a guy who used to play for the Patriots,  Benjarvus Ellis- Green I think his name is,  he never fumbled the ball in his career!


WOW... that is amazing!  Well... it's been great chatting!  Have a good one!


What do you think about the Jacksonville Jaguars? Apparently Blake Bortles ruined their game recently


he totally has, sounds like he is on his way to the bench and them getting a new QB. Do you watch the NFL?


Yes I watch the NFL sometimes. My favorite quarterback is Tom Brady. What about you?


I like Tom Brady, but my favorite qb is Alex Smith, he got injured though.


Yes, he was also a genius, he almost got his master's degree before he started playing football


For sure! Then became the #1 pick in 2005. What a life!


Yes he's awesome! Also awesome is Kellen Moore oh, he's the only left-handed quarterback in the NFL and I think that gives him an advantage


that is such a good advantage. I like playing as Michael Vick in games because he runs to the left to throw like Moore.


Really good point! Did you ever play as Baker Mayfield? Apparently he was really good at Halo 3, maybe he's even better in video games when you play as him LOL


I was so good at Halo 3, interesting people still play it since he was only in college a few years ago and I was playing it 10 years ago


Yes I used to play it a lot too. Can you believe that the average NFL game only has about 10 or 11 minutes of Life gameplay, that seems so short


that is so crazy to think about. Even crazier is engineers will make more in their lifetime than the average nfl player does. It pays to go to college i guess


Yes that is crazy! Also crazy that females might play for the NFL someday, they just have to be good enough to do so because there's no rule against it


For sure, that would be like obama becoming the first black president, never done before! I support it


It would be interesting for sure. what I don't like is how the Saints treat their cheerleader tho, did you hear that they have to leave the restaurant if a player walks inside?


Yea that is so sexist, I would sue if I were them! I wonder why


Yes I agree. I would also sue if they put tracking chips on me, I know that it's good for stats but I just don't like giving up that amount of information like my position or speed


For sure, they would see amazing data if I had them on. Probably made by those engineers making big bucks


Yep I agree. I would just be scared to wear those all the time. What do you think about the New England Patriots by the way?


They are cheaters, but dominant lol. How about you?


Haha I do like them. I actually really like Tom Brady, it's funny that the author of Game of Thrones says that the Patriots are like the Lannisters, the Lannisters in Game of Thrones are the Bad Guys by the way LOL


I am a huge NFL fan, how about you?I was mad the Patriots won the superbowl this year. I love the NFL because it is the highest professional level of football in the world!


Can't say I'm a huge fan.  I know my local teams but not much more, used to live in DC and now in the Cleveland area.  I'm fully aware of how much the Browns suck.


Oh nice. LOL yes they have definitely had their troubles! Have you ever played football? I never have but I would want to be quarterback because they are the leader of the offensive team.


Never, I played the other football, soccer.  Are you aware of this Derrius Guice player and his injury?


Oh nice, that is a good game as well. Yeah he tore his ACL what a disaster for him. Terrible injury. He hyperextended his knee while being tackled-ouch!


I always hear of players doing their ACL, I never really know what that means.


Yeah it i the ligament that prevents your thigh bone from moving anterior to your leg bone. Very common and very bad-need surgery to correct it. And he had some denial claiming that he could walk after the injury-sad that he didn't want his rookie season to end!


I'm sure he'll get the best treatment.  Did you watch the Super Bowl this year?  Even if you did want the Patriots to lose.


Yes I did. It wasn't a great game-very low scoring. Commercials were good though. Did you watch? The Patriots are like the Lannisters of the NFL (if you watch the game of thrones).


My niece always has birthday party on that weekend and we feel obliged to go since it's family.  My wife loves Game of Thrones so I end up watching with her.  I assume the Lannisters aren't good.


Oh nice. Yeah the Lannisters are the ones who hold power and always want control and power. The Patriots coach, Bill Belichick is the most winningest coach in the nfl post season with 21 wins. Quite respectable.


Wasn't there all that spying stuff with them, and deflate gate?


Yea there was! That was a huge scandal. They did get put on some probation for that but that's about it. Did you know there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL?


I wonder if it makes a difference.  I know in some sports being left handed can be a advantage.  It's funny that Tom Brady couldn't make his high school at times.


Yeah thats a good point. Yes that is hard to believe-now he is considered the greatest of all time. That shows that natural abilities aren't everything! Apparently the football huddle was created by a deaf quarterback. pretty interesting.


I wasn't aware that Belichick had coached the Browns.  That was a long time ago, Cleveland winning a playoff game.


Oh yeah I didn't know that either. They have had a tough go thats for sure. Their last playoff win was back in 1995-wow!


Was that before they moved to Baltimore.  I know there's a lot of bad blood around here because of that.  Is there much difference with Canadian football?


Yeah good question I'm not sure. Yes there are definitely differences with the CFL not sure what exactly though. I know the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) was actually cut from the CFL before he started wrestling!


He looks like a football player.  So who is your favorite NFL team?


My favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks since that is where I'm from. Also thats why I don't like the Patriots-they beat us in the Superbowl a few years back.


I've heard you have a noisy stadium, is that true?


Yeah I have been to a game before and it is deafening! Can't even hear yourself talk. It was a great time but I prefer to watch games on tv-just more comfortable.


Hello, do you know much about quarterbacks?


Yeah a bit, my favorite QB is Brady, what about yours?


I don't really have a favorite to be honest. I'm a Bengals fan so maybe Andy Dalton. I do really like Patrick Mahomes though.


Patrick Mahomes is really skilled, well the only left handed QB on the league used to be Kellan Moore, he is retired now


Im not sure about that, but maybe, do you know who Brad Johnson is?


He is the only QB in history to throw a touchdown pass to himslef


HAHA that' hilarious. I wonder how that worked? Maybe a tipped pass and he caught it.


Thats exactly what happened lol, still, sounds like an impossible event lol,


I think so too lol. Did you know the NFL has no written rules against women playing?


No I didnt know about that rule, maybe we can see female players take over the league one of these days


I bet it will happen eventually. They will probably take of the kicker position for starters.


Yeah I dont see them as offensive or defensive lineups, they can get seriously injured


Did you know the average NFL game is only 11 minutes of life gameplay?


Only 11 minutes wow, where does all the time of the other 3 quarters go!


I think it's huddle time for the most part. The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is actually higher than the average earnings of an NFL player.


That makes sense engineers make a ton of money as well, I bet they design the tracking chips the NFL use


Yes, they make a lot of money. They probably do. I heard they track velocity, ball speed, rotation, and other things.


A lot of interesting data, amazing how tech is advancing and how the game is improving because of it.


Yea, I watch it all the time. I heard DJ Moore might get drafted by the Carolina Panthers


That is exciting to leave Maryland for him!


I hear Norv Turner is pretty impressed with Moore, he would probably be a good fit


I can't believe he had 30 other scouts looking at him!


Yea, Mel Kiper thinks Moore will go to Jacksonville at number 29


I think it is crazy that the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


Yea I can see how theres only 11 minutes of gameplay in the nfl with how much time players take to get ready between plays


I also did not know that the nfl has no written rule against female players.


It will be interesting to see if there is every a female player as a place kicker since they can play by rule


That would be interesting. Did you know engineers have a higher average life long earning?


Yea, I can see how an engineer makes more lifetime than a nfl player since they have longer careers and less injuries


Yes, I wonder the average years an NFL player stays in the league.


Not as long as head coaches, Bill Belichick has been coaching so long he was the last head coach of the Browns to win a playoff game


That is a long time! I wonder his net worth.


I don't know but Belichick must have a lot of money after winning 21 postseason games as a coach


It is funny that the buffalo bills are equal to the patriots in super bowl losses


I find it funny Tom Brady's jv football team never started him despite not winning a game


I don't know but he is pretty smart, probably not as smart as Alex Smith who received his bachelor's degree in 2 years


Wow that is impressive. I wonder if he did it so fast so that he could go pro.


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


hello,  I dont watch much football anymore.  But I like the 49ers.  although,  they havent been good in awhile lol


did you know the nfl has no rule against female players, women can basically play football.


Let's think about this. In high school, coaches accepted girls to condition and play for the team.


I have no idea lol Did you know the new orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden to eat at the same restaurant as the players.  crazy.


In high school during your days, were girls allowed to play football? That is sad. They should allow the cheerleaders to eat with the players.


yes, we actually had a girl on our football team,  she didnt play much though.


I guess they are getting used to a girl being in the team.


Did you know the nfl uses tracking chips embedded in the players football pads.


Yes I did. They had it to record their stats.


cool.  Did you know the author of game of thrones says that the patriots are the lannisters of football lol


I did not know that. I am not a fan of Game of Thrones.


I should try to watch it. Is it on Netflix?


Its on HBO,  you should try n watch it,  it is fantastic.  This april they are releasing the final season.  Perfect time to binge watch it.


Do I have to make an account? You'll never know if it's the last season.


Well,  they have already announced it is the last season though.  It has been confirmed.  I think they are doing a spin off show though,  I hope the spin off is of one of the families in game of thrones.


Aren't there surprises from other series? Is it really a game show?


I am not sure what you mean about surprises from other series.  It is not at all a game show,  it is about different families/ houses trying to be king,  or get on the throne and the journey they take to get there.  But its awesome,  with dragons and white walkers and dire wolves.  its a very complex story line.


You know how movies have that ending before the credits appear? That's when you know that there is another movie.


yes I do . DId you know that women can play too?


Yes as there is no written rule that prevents them from playing


yes so as long as they meet the requirements, they are good


Yes. The average gameplay is 11 minutes anyways


True. THe engineers make more than the players over the lifetime


But they also have longer careers so can make more money


True. Did you hear of the Saints cheerleaders rule?


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


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


Yes it is so sexist and it really needs to go now


I do he is a good player. He was a backup QB in high school


Yeah and he did not get started even when the team was doing really bad


Yes they lost a really good chance to win there with him


Yes he is a great player and also finished college in two years


Yeah he took a lot of AP tests in high school so planned that ahead really well


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


Yes that was Paul Hubbard who was deaf and did not want the other team to understand him


Yeah that was smart. Nice chatting with you


Hi Turker, are you a NFL fan, if yes, did you think the chief should had been in the Superbowl?


The NFL? The National Football League? I do not who the chiefs are. Is that a team?


Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs were one of the top undefeated team in nfl 2018.


Oh, and they were not the champions? I thought undefeated would make them the best. What happened?


I am pretty sure New England Patriots beat them which ever one disagree with the call by the referee.


Oh, ok. I guess the referees made a mistake, a controversial one that helped the Patriots? I guess that happens.


Yes, well I just thought I would get your opinion, but that over with now, what do you think about women in the NFL?


I think that women would not be powerful enought to play in the NFL. Women usually have their own leagues.


Yes, that's my opinion, maybe they should get a WNFL team and see how well that work.


I think that it would be a different game, maybe some rules would change, I don't know. There is a WNBA. I guess it could work.


Yes that's true, but I think their ratings are low, not too many people talk about the wnba.


True. I think that the women's games tend to be slower and not as aggressive.


Yes you are right, I like to see three pointer, slam dump and other complicated shooting, not just regular shooting.


I expect that women will want to join but I don't think the game can be balanced for them.


I wouldn't want to see the tackling if the NFL was co-ed


You are so right, do you believe the average NFL game has 11 minutes of live game play?


I think that 11 minutes is short, yet there are so many injuries. Very dangerous. that is why they get paid.


Yes that's true, but I still think playing time over 11 minutes, It take me about eleven minutes just to have a nice meal at my table. Eleven minutes isn't any time at all.


True. I guess they are paid to stand around and wait. Anyway, great chat!


It was nice chatting with you, I will read more about space.


Are you a big football fan? It's my favorite sport to watch.


I have a passing knowledge of football. I only saw part of the superbowl and the initial show wasn't that great


This year's Super Bowl certainly lacked the excitement of the past two year's games.


I mean I like Maroon 5 as much as the next, but it wasn't spectacular so to speak like when michael jackson did


It seems like the musical performers have gotten lower in quality over the years.


I think people are still good, just not as great if that makes any sense. In any case, do you follow any teams or players?


I am a big fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, do you follow any teams?


The last few seasons have certainly been fun for you, 3 straight Super Bowl appearances is a big deal.


I mean they have Bill Belichick which has an impressive success record in nfl


Yes he does and it doesn't hurt to have Tom Brady. He may not always have the best stats but he shows up during the big games.


Well Brady is considered the greatest steal in nfl history and has many impressive accomplishments under his belt as a QB


I think he got himself in the perfect situation to sit behind Bledsoe and under Belicheck for a season before he took over.


I kind of don't get why at the end of superbowl 46, the new england patriots were trying to let the NY giants score, while giants avoided scoring


They were both worrying about the time remaining. The Patriots situation did not change too much if NY scored. The Giants were worried about giving the ball to New England with too much time remaining. You don't want Brady in control of the game!


Ah that makes sense. Thanks for explaining. Do you think of the patriots as the lannisters of nfl?


I think that any team that achieves that much success is going to draw the ire and jealousy of everyone else. Once you add in a few rules being bent, the comparison really fits.


True. They are the most successful team in nfl history


It's definitely more impressive than some of the other dynasties because the business side of forming a team has become much more complicated these days.


In any case, it is amazing how much dedication, money, publicity, and resources that go into football considering an average game only has 11 minutes of real gameplay


I wonder the average time on commercials during the game? I bet it's at least three times as long.


I feel that Nick Foles is a good quarterback who the Philadelphia Eagles are lucky to have along with Wentz.


Yes, he completed three touchdowns on the game last sunday


I am curious at how much the line was able to create opportunities for him as opposed to just his innate skill?


That would be interesting to know. We are getting close to the super bowl which is held usually the first sunday in february


Yes, I agree.  It says Foles was the first Quarterback in NFL history with completions of more than 40 yards in three different receivers in a postseason game.


Cool. did you know that an NFL has only 11 minutes of gameplay in average?


Wow, no I didn't know that. That is so interesting considering the games last about 3 hours on average. Also, did you know that there is no written rule against women players?  All they would have to do is meet eligibility standards.


Yes, It would be super nice to have a team with a woman player. Did you know New Orleans Saints forbids the cheerleaders from eating at the same restaurant as the players?


Wow, I didn't know that about The Saints. I wonder why that rule is in place and if it is really a fair thing to ask?


If the cheerleader is eating in a restaurant and a player comes, they have to leave. Can you believe it?


I cannot. That is so strange that the cheerleader has to leave even if they are already there.  Did you know the circular huddle in the NFL was first created by Paul D. Hubbard, a deaf quarterback?  It was so the other team could not read his hand signals!


I had no idea, interesting fact. also did you know Kellan Moore is the only left handed NFL quarter ack in the NFL, I would think there would be more


I know, only one lefty?  That is strange.  Did you know that the Net Passer Rating is considered the "Mother of All Stats".  It is the go to thing in measuring a QB and the caliber of Super Bowl teams!


Cool.  Do yo like the new england patriots?


I don't mind them, my favorite team is the Jacksonville Jaguars though.  Who is your favorite team?


I like the denver broncos, i would like to visit all the stadiums. Like the Gillette Stadium, where the patriots play


I would like to do that as well!  I have only been to Jacksonville staduium and Tennessee Titan Stadium.  Did you know Buffalo Bills are tied with New England Patriots with number of Superbowl losses?


that is funny. It is also funny that in a superbowl, a team was avoiding to score a touchdown


Wow. That is crazy!  The Cleveland Browns last playoff win was in 1995 and it was against the NE patriots.  The coach of Cleveland at the time... Current NE coach Bill Belichick.  How ironic!  Sports is like naturally created drama.


It has created some drama. the team who avoided scoring was the New York giants and this happen in the super bowl 46


Thank you for chatting with me today!  I can't wait to watch some playoff football this weekend!


Hello.  Yes I am.  It's the american football league and has two conferences, the afc and the nfc.


I think they need to add some personally.  I also think that the 17 week regular season is just too short.


The regular season ends in December and the Superbowl is in February.  What do they (the football teams) do in January?


There are a few playoff games between teams as they narrow down to the nfc and afc champions that will play in the superbowl.


I just found out that NFL has no rule against female players.  Do you think we will see female players anytime soon?


I don't know.  I know the women have to meet the eligibility requirements so there could be some day.


I do not like the silly rule that the New Orleans Saints  have regarding cheerleaders who are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any nfl player.  Are you familiar with this rule?


I am familiar with it and I don't like it either. I think it is very outdated and needs to be changed.  The women have to leave if the male player comes into the restaurant. I think that whoever comes in last should leave.


I think if the cheerleaders are already in the restaurant, they should not be forced to leave because an nfl player wants to eat  at the same restaurant.


I agree with you completely.  I don't care if the quarterback himself comes in the place.  I know he's the leader of the team or at least the offense but it is still not right.


Apparently, NFL uses tracking chips to keep track a player's moves on the field.  Do you know this?


I didn't know this. I knew they used chips in the footballs but I didn't know they had them on players.


These chips are embedded in players' shoulder pads.


Well that is different.  Football is very technical these days.  Do you think they'll ever use those chips to replace refs?  I mean they could use them to track the player to determine if they made a first down or not for example.


I do not think those chips will replace refs.  By the way, why did the author of the games of thrones call the New England Patriots the Lannisters of the NFL?  I'm curious to know.


I don't know about that.  I don't watch the show so I wouldn't be able to explain it.  The patriots coach bill belichick is the winningest coach in post season football.


Yes, I know.   He had 21 wins all together.


Correct.  However, the patriots are also tied with the bills for super bowl losses.


I did not know that.  Anyway, I've got to run.  It  was nice chatting with you.


Yes!  I'm a Patriots fan!  Do you have a favorite team?


I like the Patriots as well, great team with a lot of big names, Brady is my favorite QB in the history of the game.


He's a good one that's for sure.  He went to Junipero Serra high school and his JV football team had a season that was so bad that they failed to score a TD or win a game for an entire season and yet they never attempted to start Brady who was the backup QB.


I bet that coach got teased for it later, how can he not start Brady on the team, did you watch the last Super Bowl?


I did watch it!  It's always on the first Sunday in February.  lol


My favorite game of the year, good thing we won, so glad although the game was a bit boring.


It was more of a defensive game.  Bill Belichick has won 21 games in the post season - the most ever.  20 came with the Patriots and 1 with the Browns.


21 games wow, that is an impressive record, thats like almost every game right?


Pretty much.  I'm sure he has a few losses too.  Weird stat: The Buffalo Bills are equal to the New England Patriots in super bowl losses.  lol


Yeah but the Patriots are also the team with most SB wins.


Yes. lol  Did you know that the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?


Only 11 minutes! woah that is crazy, it seems like a lot longer, I guess the game is mostly ads.


Yes.  Be nice if it was 60 minutes of full on live gameplay.  lol  The average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the average lifetime earnings of an average NFL or MLB player.


Engineers are paid a lot as well so that kind of makes sense, did you hear about the tracking chips players and also the ball have?


I didn't hear about those.  What do they do with them?


They track the position of players in the field and we get all kinds of cool stats out of them the chip in the ball tracks its speed, rotation, velocity, location.


Nice.  The NFL has no written rule that prevents female players from playing.  I wonder if we'll see one anytime soon?


I don't think that will happen maybe a new division for woman only but it would be unfair to pair them in the same league.


I was thinking maybe a kicker?  I don't think a girl could take some of those hits.  I've had fun!  It was nice chatting with you and I hope you have a great day!


Hi there do you have a favorite quarterbacks? I like Tom Brady because he's so awesome at football haha


Yeah, Brady is good, but I always liked Peyton Manning.


Peyton Manning is awesome too. What do you think about Kellen Moore?


As a leftie myself, I like the fact that he is the only left-handed quarterback in the NFL.


Haha, do you think that gives him an advantage or a disadvantage? Also do you think that you have an advantage or a disadvantage in life in general hahaha


It's probably a little of both for him.  Some defensive players might take a few snaps to get used to the difference.  As for me, it's both as well, but overall, it is a right-handed world.


Yes the world is definitely geared towards righties I think haha. Do you ever watch the NFL, or at least the cheerleaders?


When I get time I watch a game or two.  Those cheerleaders can be a bit distracting.  Apparently the Saints think so too since cheerleaders and players can't even be in the same restaurant, which seems kind of extreme.


Yep I agree that seems really dumb. If I were the cheerleaders I would be pissed haha. I do think football can be boring though because apparently they're only about 11 minutes of actual live gameplay for every game. I believe it


Those guys get paid a lot of money for 11 minutes of gameplay.  But I guess they take a lot of hits during that time, so maybe they earn it.


Yeah they can definitely take some hits. There are chips that they put in the shoulder pads to measure things like position and velocity. They can also use it to detect how hard players get hit. I'm sure that's a lot of good data


That would be interesting data to examine.  Apparently the NFL also puts chips in footballs to record rotation and location data.  That seems pretty cool.


It does seem pretty cool. what are yur thoughts on a female playing for the NFL


If she can compete at that level, I have no problem with it.  There's no rule against it.  I don't know if we will ever see that, though.


Nope I don't know if we'll see that. Maybe a kicker or something would be possible. do you know any engineer's? Apparently an engineer will make more than an NFL player on average over their lifetime


Nope, I don't know any.  I guess being smart is where the money is.  They make more lifetime money than MLB players as well.


Yep that's true. What do you think about the New England Patriots? They're based in the Boston area


Some people don't like them because they win so much, but I don't mind them.  Belichick is a pretty accomplished coach, even if he is slightly grumpy at times: 15 AFC East titles is nothing to sneeze at.


Nope I agree. I like people who win haha. And I guess the Buffalo Bills are equal to the Patriots, in Super Bowl losses, that's kind of sad but you know not everyone can have Tom Brady on their team haha


It's hard to believe that Brady couldn't start on his own winless JV team in high school and now he is one of the all-time greats.  That's saying something.


Yeah definitely is. Do you watch Game of Thrones by the way? Author of Game of Thrones says that the Patriots would be the Lannisters in that show. The Lannisters are definitely the bad guys in the show haha


Hey how are you doing, ever hear of a quarterback?


hi how are you? i have a heard of a quarterback, a halfback and a fullback. LOL


Quarterbacks are actually commonly abbreviated to QB, just in case you ever saw that.


Yes, i have. thanks. I dont follow football often, but i do know the basics.


It can be a difficult sport to follow, Kellen Moore is the only lefty left in the league, but I think he just left.


did he? i wonder why he was the only one. is there a problem with lefties? do coaches not like them?


Not sure, it would be interesting to find out why. Lamar Jackson might be left handed, I forget though. Michael Vick was at one point so I'm not sure how old these articles are.


I guess the offense has to switch around to accommodate the lefty?


That probably makes a lot of sense, everyone is all messed up then. I wonder if there'll ever be a female NFL player, no rules against it.


it could very well happen. she could get in there in disguise, no one would know, then at the end of the game take off her helmet, revealing a surprise! LOL


That is very true. Guess what the one super bowl stat that the bills and patriots are tied for.


Number of losses? the bills just can win that one. they really are a sure bet that way LOL


For sure, it'd be tough to be a Bills fan in the early 90s, have you seen that documentary by chance ?


no, i havent. what is it called? about the bills? never heard of it.


It was like the Three Falls of Buffalo or something, should really check it out. Got to be hard to be on the Bills then for sure.


Yeah, not a big city market compared to LA and NY, but they produced champion level teams. how did they do this year? i dont remember.


I think they were okay, I wish they'd have held onto Tyrod Taylor, he's one of my favorite QBs in the league. He's so good.


Yes, it is hard to decide who to keep and who to trade, especially if youre not a rich team. i think the Pats probably have their pick of players.


For sure, would be difficult. All we think about are the good players, not all the role players involved. What do you think of Antonio Brown to the Raiders? I'm excited, the Steelers are great though too.


Yeah, it is a team game. not every player needs to be the best for the team to win. Anyway, great chat!


Great chatting with you too, hope you have a good rest of the evening!


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


Yes as there is no written rule against them playing


Yes if they qualify, then they get to play


Yeah. The average gameplay is only 11 minutes anyways


Yes. Engineers even make more over the lifetime than football players


Yes I guess they have longer careers too though


Yea good point. Did you hear of that rule for the Saints cheerleaders?


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


Yes and worst, they also are required to leave mid meal if they walk in


Yes it is so sexist and it really needs to go though


I like him. DId you know he was a backup QB in high school?


Yes and he never got started even in tough games when they were losing


Yeah I bet you they are regretting that decision now


He is the QB that finished college in two years. DO you know how?


Yes he took lots of AP tests in high school


Such a smart guy, really planned everything ahead of time


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


That was Paul Hubbard who was deaf and did not want others to understand him


Hello how are you doing?  Did you know The junípero serra high school jv football team recorded a historically bad season in which they failed to win a game or even score a touchdown yet they never attempted to start their backup quarterback. that backup quarterback they refused to start is 4 time super bowl champion tom brady.


Also, Alex Smith was quite the brain receiving a bachelor's degree in 2 years because he had so many AP credits


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


Also, suprisingly the NFL using tracking chips in the players shoulder pads and in footballs to track speed velocity and location


That makes sense,  for strategies and statistics.


An average game of nfl only has 11 minutes of gameplay too.


That's so weird considering that its like 3-4 hours long lol


Yes, did you know that Bill Belichick is the winningest coach in postseason of the nfl postseason with 21 wins


Thats awesome.  Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl


Speaking of football, the Browns' last playoff win was in 1995 against the Patriots.  Long time ago.  But Bill Belichick was coaching the Browns at that time.


lol Baker mayfield (quarterback, university of oklahoma) once considered quitting football to pursue full-time competitive gaming, and claims to be able to beat anyone at the university of oklahoma one-on-one in halo 3.


Wow, good luck to him!  The Eagles beat the Patriots for their first Super Bowl title on February 4th.  Fly Eagles Fly!


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


Doesn't sound 20th century.  Women are allowed to play nfl if they meet the league's eligibility requirements


Buffalo bills are equal to the new england patriots ... in super bowl losses


The author of game of thrones called the Patriots lannisters of the nfl


Haha.  Near the end of super bowl 46, the new england patriots let the new york giants score a touchdown, and the giants tried to avoid scoring a touchdown, both to increase their odds of winning. the giants involuntarily scored a touchdown but won anyway.


That's a strange strategy! The Patriots only joined the NFL in 1970 after the merger of the two league


the Patriots have been one of the most successful teams in NFL history wining 15 AFC East titles in 17 seasons since 2001


Its been great talking to you1  Thanks for all the fun facts!


I am.  I think Patrick Mahomes dropping 375 passing yards is impressive!  Are you a fan?


I am a new fan of his for sure, he is amazing


I agree.  The AFC looks like Kansas City will be the winner and the Rams look like the class of the NFC to me.  What do you think?


I am a fan ot the lineup of the Chiefs but not a fan of the Rams at all; I want to see Brees or Brady grab another title


The Patriots are good but they have some losses this season.  Drew Brees would be nice to see win if the Saints can beat the Eagles this weekend.


I think they can; Philly's QB looked vulnerable this past weekend and only got the win by the inch of the field goal pole and crappy kicker


True. I still can't believe he missed that kick! Such a dissapointment!  I know Dallas is in the mix but they play the Rams.


LA has been looking week; Dallas' QB has been strong as of late, should make for a great game.


I honestly don't know much about the Rams other than their record.  I assume they are good and yeah, Dallas had a great game this past weekend so it should be good to watch.


They have a great defense; Donald on the Rams is being considered for MVP


I'm not familiar with him.  What position is he?


Lineman; Brady is a QB on the Patriots and is the GOAT!


I think Mahomes might be having a better year than Brady but that's just my opinion.


Mahomes is the real deal; Much more so than Mayfield or the other young QBs


Oh yeah! I forgot about Mayfield! He is having a great year too! I mean, Cleveland has finally won some games this year!


I just don't like his cockiness as a young rookie; Leadership requires some humility and dignity


I agree with that.  I don't think he's as bad as Johnny Manzel was though.  I think Mayfield will learn and grow.


I think there are a lot of overrated QBs as of late but definitely not Mahomes


He has been a surprise to me. I mean, I knew he was good but not that good! I find myself wanting to watch Chiefs games just because of him.


I fell out of the chair when I saw his no look pass; no QB has ever done somehting like that!


That's trusting your receiver right there.  I like how he can throw on the run and with either hand-impressive!


Yeah I saw a couple of left handed tosses. A bit awkward but they worked.


So long as they work that's all that matters!


Yes, I do. You mean the US sport, right? Yes.


Yes, the NFL cool! did you know the NFL only has one left handed QB?


I did not expect that. Only one? Why so few?


I guess the offense is geared to right handed QBs? Odd.


Seems like! I heard there was once a deaf QB!!


That is possible, I guess. I figure that hearing would be an advantage, but I guess if your eyes are good, no problemo.


they created the circular huddle for him


Ahhh, to hide his hands as he signed. Gotcha. Very clever.


Did you know the NFL has no rule against female players!


I don't think they ever considered the possibility. If a woman is good enough. I guess they'll play her.


That is right! did you know the average play. Has only 11 minutes average live gameplay


That seems low, but I guess there is a lot of standing and waiting. So I shouldn't be surprised.


Yes, fun to watch. Tough to play. I prefer other sports like basketball.


basketball is cool too! something that makes it very interesting is all the info that is tracked with chips


Tracking the players is probably good for strategy and maybe reducing injury.


And makes it more competitive! we an compare numbers between players and their passes!


I don't understand why the patriots are such a hated team


I don't know either. I see that a lot. But I'm not really a big fan of football. Are you?


Not really but in America it is hard to avoid the football fanatics.


True. I can't much get into a game that only has 11 minutes of live game play.


True much of the rest of that hour long game is them standing around or in huddles or waiting on the refs.


They take it so seriously - they even have tracking chips in the player's shoulder pads and inside the footballs as well.


From a math standpoint I can appreciate that. I think it would also give us valuable data about injuries for the players.


I agree. It is a very physical game with the potential for a lot of injuries, so that is important.


You would think that with that many injuries and so short a playing life they would get more money than they do but they don't get paid as much as people think unless they are one of the sponsered people.


Right. I was surprised to learn that the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than that of an average nfl and mlb player. I always assumed they made a ton of money.


It does seem like that but maybe that is just the perception. I wonder if the cheerleaders get paid well?


Good question. Probably not as well as people would think.


You would think with how some teams treat their cheerleaders that they would pay them better.


Yeah. I think it is not right that the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any nfl player and has to leave the restaurant if an nfl player comes in while they are dining.


That is just ridiculous. I wonder what prompted such a silly and sexist rule?


Who knows. As bad as that is, there is actually no rule against female players in the nfl. Pretty surprising.


I wonder if there are no women because they just assume they can't play or if they don't meet the requirements the league has on players.


Good question. I have never heard of a woman trying to be on any nfl team.


No me neither. You would think something like that would get a lot of press. Of course women have their own teams like the semi pro flag teams.


You would think so. Well it was nice talking to you.


Yes! With 32 teams there is always football on in my house during the season.


Thats great do you have a favorite team out of those 32 teams?


I really like all of them. What about you? The best part about the game is usually the first Sunday in February when it is time for the Super Bowl. I love the commercials and the overall fun of it.


Mine is in the AFC, the Patriots, and yeah commercials can be annoying but the Superbowl is a great tradition love those chicken wings on game day


Oh yeah. Love chicken wings! It's just hard to believe there are only about 11 minutes of live game play in a typical game.


Only 11 minutes that seems like a scam. Still the food makes it worth it lol crazy how there's no written rule against women playing in the league.


Yes, that is insane! I can not believe that as long as women can meet eligibility requirements they can play.


I wouldn't like to see that either, woman should play in another league or division just like the rest of sports


Yeah, I agree. Speaking of women in FB, did you know that if an NFL player comes into a restaurant a Saints cheerleader is at she has to leave?


Really? that rule is so unfair, that makes me really angry in this time and age it should be allowed that is a terrible rule


Yes, me too. I can not believe that she also can not est if a player is already there. I mean, what if a cheerleader is dating or married to an NFL player?


I know right, that would be confusing, that rule will eventually change it has to, so what are your thoughts on the chips player have in their shoulders ?


I an not believe technology has become so advanced. I guess with tracking chips in their shoulder pads to track a players every move it leaves little room for denial of error.


I think its great how tech is slowly taking over the game. There is also a tracking chip on the ball to measure things like velocity, rotation, location of the ball.


I bet all the tracking in football really helps make better game plays. Maybe it even help with player salaries. I know they are high, but an engineer earns more over a lifetime than an NFL player.


Well that's because engineers have longer careers so maybe that's why they also earn a lot of money. Do you like the QB position?


That makes sense. Yes, I do love a good QB. What about you?


I think the QB is the most important player in the team so yeah, they are involved in every offensive play so that makes them special.


Yes, I agree. Did you know there Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL?


I didn't know that, wonder if being lefty is an impediment for a QB, anyways its been great chatting with you today.


It just might be. It was good chatting with you!


Thanks for all the cool facts have a great day friend.


Hi there! How are you tonight? I am wondering if you are a football fan?


I sometimes follow football. especially around the playoffs. You?


Yes, and for sure then! I watch all the time since there are 32 NFL teams.


I didnt get a chance to watch the super bowl this time. i was busy. i did watch last year. i heard this years was a bit boring.


A little, but I still love it. Can you believe there are typically only 11 minutes in an average NFL game?


Yeah, they do a lot of standing around and waiting. i would not want to buy a ticket for 11 minutes of action.


I would think the action is still good. Although I think I would be more on board for the salary of an engineer.


Yeah, people like the modern gladiators. it is a brutal game. I would rather do the engineering thing because there are fewer injuries too.


Yes and over a lifetime an engineer earns more than the typical NFL player.


Yeah, they make bank over the long haul. NFL players have a short career. most dont get endorsements.


That is true. I do like some of the NFL rules pertaining to females. Have you heard any?


They can play, but if they are cheerleaders for the saints, they had better choose restaurants carefully.


Yes! I find the latter a complete crock! I can not believe a cheerleader can not eat at the same restaurant as an NFL player and even if she is already eating she has to leave.


The sexist attitudes need to change. the league has its priorities upside down. criminal behavior is tolerated, but political protest isnt.


I agree 100%! Have you heard about the technology that the NFL uses?


Um, the tracking chips? i would like to know who gets the data and how they use it.


It is interesting that they put the tracking chips in player shoulder pads to track their every move. I guess it must help with game plans.


Yeah, it could. i hope that it helps understand injuries and the situations where they arise.


Oh, I never thought of that. The NFL even uses the tracking chips in the footballs. Then they measure location, ball speed, velocity and rotation.


Yeah, it would great for modeling game behavior for video game design too. Anyway, great chat!


I think that would help. It was nice chatting with you as well. Take care.


hi there hi there! I dont usually but sometimes i follow near the super bowl.


Yeah I always watch the super bowl, I mostly follow my favorite team during the season.


i like the energy and intensity of the playoff games. the fans are crazy wild and baying for blood. good times good times. i try to make money on the sb but i usually lose. LOL


Yeah I made a little money on this years so that made the game a bit more exciting than it actually was.


I wish that I had a crystal ball what would tell me the outcomes so that my wife would not always get angry for losing money.


Yeah wouldn't we all lol.  Did you know there is no rule about female players in the league?


That's fair. I wonder if there are any women who dream of playing for the NFL.


I think there are lots out there trying but with no high school or college football for women i'm sure it's hard.


yes, that would put a damper on a pipeline of prospects. Perhapse a woman could be a kicker for the team. Maybe that would be the ticket?


yes, she could go on for the extra points.


I don't like them because I lose too much money on them. I wish they would lose for once, just for my sake.


Yeah they have dominated too much lately for my liking.


i think that tim brady is going to have to call it a day soon because he is like 45 or something, really old, and only eat fruit or something.


Yeah old Tom is getting pretty old.  I guess Belichick is the winningest coach in postseason history, 21.


BIll knows the football like no one ever did. i expect that he could retire too and not have any regrets.


Yeah I think he will go down as the best NFL coach of all time.


he certainly deserves the recognition. he and tim brandy go together like peas and carrots i must say. anyway, great chat!


Lol, yeah they sure have been together and winning forever it seems.  Same here, good talking, I hope you have a good night!


I'm good thanks for asking. Did you know that Trump does rate as one the top 3 President wealthiest?


Oh, he does? I did not know that! Who are the others?


Well JFK for sure, Washington and Jefferson.


Well, I'm not surprised at all. Did you know that in the US until 1805, the runner up in a Presidential election automatically became VP? Can you imagine?


Wow what a reality tv show. Trump and Hillary Obama and McCain. I can't even imagine!


I sure don't think they would all get along very well, but it could make for an interesting show, that's for sure!


Right too funny! Interesting fact Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be photographed and his would be assassin was in the picture.


Oh, that is good and awful all in the same picture! So, do you know what they called the first President of Zimbabwe?


They don't call him the President, i know the nick name hear is P.O.T.U.S but i don't know what it is in Zimbabwe.


I'm pretty sure President is a term other countries use as well as it is a title for the head of state in most republics.


Right so what do they call the President when it's the president of Zimbabwe?


That doesn't sound cool at all. You know Woodrow Wilson was the only US president to have a phd. That's impressive i would have thought they'd be more.


Yeah, not cool. I also would have figured there would be more with PhD's .


I guess the popular vote did use to be so popular, 5 presidents have won even though they lost it.


Really? That is weird. Can you believe the President of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office?


Wow he must be really good to have released 3 of them. Another of our presidents spoke a foreign language fluently. Do you know who he was?


No, I do not think that I do, who was it?


It was FDR , again i would think there would be more of our president's that did. Do you listen to the radio at all anymore or like me is everything in your life digital.


Yes, I would think so too. No I really do not listen to the radio. It was nice chatting today! Have a good day.


Just wanted you to know that you can make one out of pencils and razor blades. Nice chatting with you as well my friend.


I used to be as a kid, but not so much anymore.  I do know of comic book legend stan lee though.


He was a legend.  I heard he ended every phone convo with excelsior!


I didn't know that.  I do remember seeing alot of his things at the Michigan State university library when I visited as a kid.  They have the largest publicly available comic book collection in the world.


Wow, that is pretty neat.  I hear there are multiple multi-verses.


I think so.  I believe they range from earth 616 to earth 199999.


Im not sure what those numbers mean, or if they are just to label the multi-verse.


I think they date the age of the multiverse, but am not entirely sure.  I do know that the dc in dc comics stands for detective comics though.


That is a bit redundant Detective Comics Comics.


For sure.  Reading comics is ok I guess, but sometimes I would rather listen to the radio.  Unless I'm in Canada.  Canadian law requires that at least 40% of the music played is Canadian.


Yeah, they can jam out to that Bieber and Celine Dion.  Im good.  Lol


Did you know soldiers in WWII sometimes were able to make radios with a pencil and razor blade?


They called them foxhole radios if I  am not mistaken.


I wonder if they tried to listen to any of the free episodes of classic radio dramas.


They might have.  Or that one station that broadcasts in classical Latin


Yeah, that station has been around since 1989 I believe.  I wouldn't be able to understand it though.


You are not alone.  I wonder how their listener-ship is


Mostly Finnish I imagine considering that is where they broadcast from.


I haven't heard the Jupiter Storms on AM radio either, but I would be interested to hear what that sounds like.


Yeah, that would be interesting.  I bet they sound pretty ferocious.


Probably do.  It has been great chatting but I must go!


Yeah some stuff. Did you know Wilson is the only one to have a PhD?


WOw cool for him. Do you know who the three wealthiest ones are?


Nice. In guatemala the relatives of the president cannot apply for that position ever


Wow nice rule. Did you know the guest house is larger than the white house


Wow nice. Lincoln was the first president to have a picture taken at his inaguration


Cool. DO you know how the VP used to be elected?


Hmm not sure. Did you know 5 presidents have lost even though they won the popular vote?


WOw that is a lot. The VP was just the runner up


Nice one they put a lot of work in there too so it makes sense


Yeah true. The president of Indonesia is a pop star and has released 3 albums


Wow good for him. Do you listen to the radio?


I sure do. You can listen to Jupiter's storms  on the am radio


Nice one. The top most popular radio acts was a ventriloquist


WOw. Do you ever listen to Canadian radioes?


I do not think I have come across them, are they good?


Well if you like canadian music, they are required to play 40% of that


Wow that is a lot. There is a radio station that turns solar energy into music


Nope I do not but in case you ever want to listen to news in latin check out that Finnish radio channel


Nice!  So am I.  It was good to see them win another Super Bowl.  Did you know that Belichik lists Brady on the injury report every week even though nothing is wrong with him? lol  That guy really messes with his opponents minds.


lol, I think so.... Didn't know that! His wife makes twice as much, not surprised with being a model!! I think he likes avocado ice cream!


No doubt!  ..and ewww....funny that he's never eaten a strawberry his entire life but he likes the taste of avocado.


I know, Its in his book, he likes Joy, peak performance and avocado ice cream! Who knew? Thinking he must be allergic or something?


He might be.  I haven't read the book yet.  Did you know he is considered the biggest steal in the history of the NFL draft?


I believe it!! For sure. Only player in history to do what he's done!!


Have you ever seen his documentary Tom vs Time?  I think you can see it on facebook watch.  It's really good.  Did you know when he was in high school his JV team was so bad they failed to win a game or score a TD the whole season and they never attempted to start the backup QB who was Brady?


Yes I want to watch that! thanks for reminding me.... And yes I have heard that before, I bet his high school coach feels foolish now!! lol


No doubt! lol  Did you know that the circular huddle was created by a deaf QB named Paul hubbard so the other team couldn't steal his hand signals?


Really, that was smart!! Tom is the first and only quarterback to reach 200 reg season wins!


That's an awesome stats.  I hope he plays for a few more years.  That would be cool to see.  Did you know he never threw more than 30 TD's in a year prior to 2007 and then he threw for a then record 50 that year?


Very cool! He's the best! The Patriots and Tom Brady has a devoted group of fans for sure!!


For sure!  Have you ever heard of a QB named Kellan Moore?  I'm not familiar with him.


No, I haven't really. All I know he's the only left handed quarterback in the NFL.


Ok.  I'm going to have to look him up.  I've never heard of him.  Did you know that Browns QB Baker Mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue a competitive gaming career.  That would have been a big gamble.


I agree, I heard about these players are very good and gaming!! Did you know that in the 60's the top bowlers made twice as much as top football players?


That was a sign of the times. lol  Sure isn't like that now.  Bowling, baseball, boxing, and horse racing were huge back then and now all those sports have declined big time.


Yes, your right!! Did you know Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled a football in his NFL career?


That is one impressive stat!  I have to get running.  I loved talking football with you!


Good morning. Do you watch football? Did you hear about Kurt Warner wanting to come back


I did hear about that, he had some good stats towards the end of his career but I imagine he's rusty.


26 touchdown passes his last year is incredible


On the downside he did have about 14 interceptions and ranked in place #12 in the NFL.


Yeah he realized that he wasn't in his prime anymore and announced his retirement.


He did have a long career, he played about 12 yeas and was 38 years old, I guess he is too old for football now


Yeah definitely not the youngest anymore. Did you know the NFL has 32 teams


I did know that 16 for the AFC and 16 for the NFC.


There is no written rule against females players. They could play if they met the requirements.


I see, I wonder if they would be at a disadvantage though, maybe that's why there aren't any woman in the league


That's true. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of live game play


I did not know that! I thought it was a lot more, I guess ads take over most of the game.


Yep. And the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are more than a football player


Well a football player only plays a few years so that makes sense, you know players have chips to track their moves in the field.


I didn't know that. Do you know why? Did you know kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL?


I think its to have a better knowledge of the game the football also has a tracking chip, and I did not know that.


The circlular middle was created by a deaf quarterback so the other team could not read his hand signals


Thats an interesting fact, might use it on Sunday for the Superbowl lol, The Junipero Serra High School had the best Quarterback, a hall of famer, and they never used him!


Do you like Tome Brady? I read he has never eaten a strawberry in his life.


I do like him in fact I'm counting on him this Sunday! and that's odd, I wonder if his allergic to strawberries.


If he's allergic, I wonder how he found out? He threw a record 50 TD passes


Wow thats a lot, thats double than what Kirt Warner did at the end of his carreer.


Yes, I like to watch football, did you watched the superbowl?


I did. did you know there are only 11 minutes of gameplay?


I heard that, but that is hard to believe, because 11 minutes is too short of time to be divide into four quarters.


Yeah but there is a lot of waiting around and they do not account for that


I figure just to run the ball, kicked and tackle should take longer than that.


Yes, but I didn't know that this been approved already. I wonder how a 250 to 300 pound player is going to feel hitting any woman, expectually if she get Injured.


I do not know, but there is no written rule that prevents them from playing


Wow I can't wait to see a game with women playing, I hope it doesn't be like the race car driver, Dana Patrick.


Well, we wil see. did you hear about that rule for the new orleans cheerleaders?


No, I didn't hear about the rules, do you know what is the rule? Is this a new rule?


yeah they cannot eat in the same place as the players


Do you know why can't they eat in the same place as the players? Wow, that surprising to me.


yeah I do not know. and the worst part is that they have to leave if they are there already eating


What about if they have paid already, I wonder if they get their money back, that will be only right and who will be responsible for the return of their money.


yeah I hope at least that happens. strange rule. the good think about nfl is that they now use tracking chips in the padding


Yes, they can record players every move on the field, that's great.


yeah for sure. do you know who baker mayfield is?


I am not sure, is he a coach or a player, I don't know I am just guessing.


He is a player, a quarterback. nice chat.


Seldom.  I do know something about Tom Brady though.


First his wife Gisele makes more than double his salary.


Wow! I heard he's never eaten a strawberry in his life!


I heard that too.  In 2007 he threw 50 touchdown passes.


After never having thrown more than 30 before that season!


Right!  He's listed every week on the injury report, injured or not!


That's a good strategy on Bill Belichick's part.


He's being held up as the only NFC East QB ahead of Alex Smith.


Wow. Brady is considered to be the biggest "steal" in the history of the NFL Draft.


So I've heard.  Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins are aiming to be top dogs now.


Carson Wentz is the only NFC East quarterback who ranks ahead of Smith.


Oh, you're right!  They think he's an upgrade over Cousins.


Cousins signed an $84 million guaranteed deal with the Vikings.


So I heard.  Did you know the football 'huddle' came about because of a handicapped QB?


Makes sense; he didn't want people to see his hand signals. Thanks for chatting!


Did you know the NFL has one Canadian team?


Hello. Did you know that females could play in the NFL ?


I did not know that,  I guess they dont meet the requirements of the game, men are physically different


I want to know why the cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as the players.


That sounds like a terrible rule they should stand together and change that,


Its really unfair, did you hear about the tracking chips embedded in the players shoulders? tech is taking over the game


I think that is super cool. Alex smith is a smart guy by working on a master's degree, before becoming the first overall pick in the 2005 nfl draft.


I guess thats a great decision many players end up bankrupt after their careers are over, its a good thing Alex Smith has a masters degree


I thought it was more that one left handed quarterback other than Kellan moore


I think Kellan Moore is retired by now, a great QB is Tom Brady, do you like him?


I love Tom Brady. His wife makes double his salary.


She does? that family is set for life then and not only then but the generations to come, he has the record of 50 td in a year right?


And I think he needs to try a strawberry lol


I heard he hates them lol he has never tried one, that is really weird,


Why does Bill belichick list tom brady on the injury report every week ?


I guess its a tactic to confuse other team, he must have good reasons he is a great coach after all


I would love to play Baker mayfield in halo 3. I bet you I would win


You must be a great Halo 3 player then I heard he almost became pro after beating everyone at his college


I am that good. circular huddle used in todays american football was made by a deaf quarterback. That is cool


It is cool a whole legacy just like Brady and Bill Belichick, they has either won or lost the Superbowl by 3-4 points in the last 6 tries including the one of last sunday


I am going to catch some plays from the 49ers and Steelers game. Good night


Who do you think is a better QB, Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins?


I've read that some experts rank them as equals. In one survey, the scored exactly the same even though their names were separated by others within the survey. What do you think?


Alex has a lot of experience which helps.  He is legit.


That makes sense, but Cousins has some great stats too.


Eagles Wentz though is really a great player ranking above Smith.  Brady, Brees, and Roethlisberger are still top of the game.  Cousins makes a heck of a lot of money at $84 million though.


That is a ton of money, and there's a huge expectation that with that kind of salary, he performs well. You make a good point about those other players, especially Brady. He's been in tons of Super Bowls.


After throwing as much as 4000 yards in 3 seasons, he's made quite an impression.


It was Cousins who performed like that, not Brady, right? Brady led the Pats to the Superbowl 8 times. That's a big accomplishment for a QB.


Yes, Cousins.  He performs even when Washington does "no run games."


That's true. With performances like that, do you think the Redskins should be nervous about choosing Smith over Cousins?


Not at all.   Alex Smith is so smart that he entered university as a junior and got a bachelors degree in 2 years.


That's impressive. It reminds me of one of the NFL coaches who's also a rocket scientist. His name is Matt Patricia.


Another person who was very intelligent was Paul D. Hubbard.  Even though he was deaf he made it to quarterback in American football and invented the huddle so the other teams didn't read his hand signals.


Smart move. Football seems to be getting smarter overall, did you know that they're implementing new tech now that tracks the players' movements as well as the physics of the football?


Must be why engineers are higher paid on average than the lifetime earnings of an nfl player and mlb due to all the technology advances.


Yeah, that makes sense. Hard to believe that there are people in football making more than Cousins' 84M deal. Speaking of the MLB, QB Russell Wilson also has an MLB contract, currently with the Yankees.


Tom Brady is a great NFL player with record 50 TD's in 2007, but I'm not sure he'll ever pick MLB too like Wilson.


I can't imagine Brady in the MLB. Brady even has an NFL rule named after him.


Brady's wife makes more than double her husband's salary.  They must be loaded.


Whoa! That's a lot of money. Probably way more than any of the first NFL players ever saw, who played their first game in 1932 in Chicago.


Well, Brady really came through though even after his high school jv football team never started him and lost every game.  They made a big boo boo, but maybe it motivated him.


hey im good. did you watch the patriots in the superbowl


I didn't get a chance to watch. What did you think?


i found it interesting that Cook went to the saints


Didn't the Saints almost get into the SB except for a bad call?


yes thats what makes it so crazy - he almost played the patriots. it really is crazy how often they switch teams though . Do you know much about tom brady?


I know a little. He has like a half dozen SB's at this point, right?


yes he was drafted in 2000 and was born in 1977 so he is so old to still be winning! He has won 5 superbowls now. i didnt know the NFL is in two conferences.


Yeah, two conferences. Not sure why. Not like the AL and NL in MLB. I guess they need to divide 'em up.


right, i mean they are split equally BUT i wonder if it was split in another way if different teams would play


Sure. I guess it helps with scheduling and playoffs and such. Interesting that Brady's wife makes more money than he does. I guess he could retire today.


wow i had no idea - that is crazy. i think he will be good again though because edelman should return and they have 2 first round picks


He will have to retire soon, if for no other reason than to maintain his health. Serious injury to the head just ain't worth it at this point. Enjoy your wealth, Tommy!


i agree - with all the studies coming out - he has enough money! he is so competitive i would think. he sure can call some plays though


He does have the benefit of a good team and a good coach. I figure he could do a couple more seasons, but at what cost? Perhaps he could be a QB coach or something.


i hope he becomes one of the news guys calling on games. did you know they have chips in their shoulder pads  to track the moves on the field?


I think that's great! Good for strategy, and maybe for assessing injury and stuff. Couldn't hurt, might help.


they also now have chips inside the footballs to track velocity, rotation speed and location. just crazy how they add technology


Soon the entire game will be played by robots. The coaches will be human though. Tom Brady, coaching robots!


that would be so fun to watch - a bit of artificial ingellance with the GOAT - he even has a rule named after him


A rule?! That's a strange legacy. Well, I enjoyed the chat!


haha carson palmer also does too ! strange stuff you learn - but nice to chat with you also


Yes. Press the DONE button, right after the SEND button.


Yes, I am. Do you follow all the QB controversies?


What do you think about the Cousins/Smith controversy with the Redskins?  Do you agree with Coach Gruden and feels Smith is a better fit for them, or do you agree with the NFL Insider rankings?


Well Cousins is on Minnesota now and Alex Smith might never play again after a gruesome injury. Washington is in big time quarterback trouble now.


Who would you blame for that? Dumb luck, or bad planning?  Smith is a pretty smart guy, having rec'd so many AP credits in high school that he started college as a junior. Was trading for him a good move?


It was and it was also just bad luck that he was injured. Then he unfortunately had an infection in the hospital that complicated matters.


Who are the Skins huddling up around now?


For the end of last season they had Colt McCoy who also suffered a season ending injury, and Josh Johnson was a Free Agent most of the year.


Sounds like a nightmare.  If only the skins could have the kind of QB security that Patriots have known for so long!  Do you think it is because Brady is as good as the stats suggest, or would you credit Coach Belichick for making the right moves> I know it is not a simple either/or decision, but which would you credit most?


I would say that Brady is a good quarterback who landed in the perfect system. His stats aren't as flashy as Rodgers, Manning, or Brees but there is no denying that he's a big game QB.


I was always a Peyton fan. The guy was so dedicated to his craft, but I admire that about Brady too.


Yes as much as I don't like him, it's hard not to recognize his place as the greatest QB of all time.


I say it is his decision to avoid strawberries.  I would like to see a statistician compare strawberry consumption vs NFL titles. Those stats would be about as meaningful as any...


I wonder why he has never eaten one? They're one of my favorite fruits!


I'm a nutritarian, and berries are among the most revered of super foods. Strawberry extracts have even been used to inhibit cancer growth in laboratory studies. Brady doesn't know what he is missing. He probably has a allergy to them or something,..


That would definitely make sense because I know they are one of the best fruits to eat because they aren't as sugary as others. I love mixing a nice bowl of different types of berries and sometimes add them into my water.


I want to be o your team!  I eat a bowl of mixed berries even morning, lightly sprinkled with lime juice. You know, Brady never threw for more than 30 touchdowns before the 2007 season, and then he threw for 50. I wonder what he ate that season?


It definitely wasn't strawberries! I know he has his own nutrition line now. I wonder if I can throw for 50 touchdowns after eating that.


He also has a supermodel for a wife. That doesn't hurt him any! Especially since she makes more $ than he does!


That's a nice safety blanket to have. It was fun talking QBs with you! Have a great day!


hi how are you? do you like talking about football?


It's not my favorite thing, as I think it  horrible how the Saints treat their cheerleaders.


Yes, it is. I wish that the NFL changed it attitude toward women.


To make matters worse, the league has no rule against female players, are they going to make them leave the restaurant too, if they play for the Saints?


Yes, that would be funny. a female player walks in. now what? do the cheerleaders leave? do the male players leave?


Could you imagine being in the middle of your meal, and having to leave due to a player walking in? That's worse than those tracking chips in the players shoulder pads.


The tracking chips might help with injury prevention. i am not sure. but the sexism needs to stop.


I didn't know that. What are the chips for in the footballs?


Hm. that IS a good question. i dont know. i guess it offers a complete picture of where the ball is relative to the players?


What do you think of OBJ going to the Browns? I know Baker Mayfield is excited. Maybe now he will forget about Halo 3.


I dont really know much about the Browns. do they have a chance this year? i figure that they have struggled for a long time.


As a born and raised resident of NE Ohio, it's best we don't jinx anything, lol. It's fascinating that the circular huddle was invented by a deaf player.


Ok, thats fair! LOL. I thought the huddle was a standard part of the game. A deaf player? interesting.


Isn't that interesting, he didn't want the other team to see his signals.


I guess that makes sense. and then the huddle caught on. he was an innovator!


He sure was. I cant believe there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL. That is surprising.


There are so many lefties in the MLB. i figured that football would be the same.


Do you think Tom Brady will retire this year? His wife is wanting to go back to modeling, and she does make more than he does.


The guy is like 40, 41? he should think about it. concussions and injuries can ruin your life. Anyway, great chat!


Hi Turker, are you a football fan, if yes, what's your favorite team?


I sometimes watch football. Don't really have a favorite team. How about you?


Yes I do, Pittsburgh Steelers are my team win or lose, still my team.


The 70s were their era, to be sure. Who is their QB again?


Ben Roethlisberger is currently their quarterback now, I used to like Terry Bradshaw.


Terry does a lot of TV work now. He was a great QB. Do you remember any famous lefties in the NFL Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL now


The funny thing is that I never paid much attention to what hand they used, maybe I should have, I was more Interesting in the players performance.


Sure. That makes sense. Superbowl winning quarterback, brad johnson, is the only quarterback in nfl history to throw a touchdown pass... to himself. I'd like to see footage of that.


So do I, I wonder how he did that, he must have threw it in the air and turned around and caught it before getting hit.


I guess there is no rule against it. Judging QB talent must be hard. Tom Brady was picked 199th (in the sixth round) in the 2000 nfl draft


Yes, that's what I heard and now he is one of the best player with six superbowl rings, that's a lot of money just setting there in jewelry.


He could probably retire today and just kick back and eat avocado ice cream. Tom has an NFL rule named after him. I wonder why.


I wonder the same thing, but it must be a good feeling for whatever reason he came up with that rule.


The Patriots under Tom and Bill belichick have either won or lost the Super bowl by 3 or 4 points in all 6 tries. I figure the recent one breaks that pattern.


Yes, what do you think about female players in the NFL, would you say 250- 300 lbs of force too much for them?


Probably. I guess she could be a kicker? Or placeholder? Don't really see the point.


Hahaha, that's the way I see it, that kick maybe to determine the game winner.


Yeah, it wouldn't work. It's not a game for women and that's fine. I figure that there are other roles in the game for women.


They can try their own WNFL like they did WNBA and see if that work out, I think a lot of people would find that interesting.


There is some sort of league with gals in bikinis. Not very serious. Anyway, thanks for the chat!


Yes you are right, welcome, I enjoyed the chat.


How does Tom Brady's wife make more than him?


she is a global icon, and I think it is a reason


She is a supermodel.  Btw, did you know that Tom Brady has never eaten a strawberry


Yes and he never got played when he was in high school


he was not a good player in college either.  We never know how thing turns out, right?


He wasn't good at playing in high school because he never got a chance, not because he costed kids the football game in his high school years.


Oh, I see.  Do you know that Alex Smith finished a bachelor degree only in 2 years


What also gets me that the huddle was designed by a deaf quarterback to prevent the other team on seeing his hand gestures.


It is very effective, isn't it.  At first, I thought the circular huddle to prevent eavesdropping from other team.  Hahaha


Just imagine of being a left handed quarterback in the NFL. Its hard to do but there is one quarterback in the NFL right now that meets that criteria. His name is Kellan More.


I think there are pros and cons of being a left handed quarterback.  I think it is also hard for other team's players to adjust to the left handed quarterback


Yea the greatest quarterback of all time was left handed. So its really hard to read a left handed specialist throwing a pigskin ball.


I concur.  Also, did you know that coach Bilichick lists Tom Brady on the injury list every week regardless of his health?  That is so weird


Not really because he was and is still concerned about his health. He has been hurt several times severely but refuses to retire.


Do you think it is acceptable for New orlean does not allow its cheerleader eating the same restaurant with the players


Well it can turn into a distraction for the players so I don't disagree neither agree with the overall decision .


You got a good point there.  I think that is the reason.


The quarterback needs everyones head in the game not just the faithful married men.


The game needs a complete focus and dedication, especially the quarterback.  Tom Brady is one of the most discipline quarterbacks, and I am not surprised to see him succeeded


Did you know also that the NFL has not banned no woman on trying to join the NFL. Now that is amazing.


Yes, but I think the game is too dangerous and violent for women.  Btw, nice chatting with you.  Enjoy your holiday


I will do the best I can, and you do the same.


It seems like your still passing knowledge my way like how a football needs velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location.


Perfectly ok considering a engineer get paid more than a football player in a lifetime.


Yeah because their lifetime earning is longer than football players


and football damages brains and body parts while engineers try to improve mobility of how the economy ticks.


I do enjoy the NFL. Can't wait for the games tomorrow. Do you enjoy the NFL?


I do. I'm excited to see who ends of going to the Superbowl. Did you know that the NFL has no written rules against female players?


I did know that.  It would be interesting seeing a female play football.


I don't think that the weight and height differences would be fair. I would like to see a league that's not exploitative like the lingerie bowl is. Speaking of sexism, were you aware that Saints cheerleaders Are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as players and if a player enters they have to leave even if they are eating?


That is sexism. I saw a documentary on the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders during their first year and it Jerry Jones who allowed them to interact with the players. WEird.


WOW?! I just saw recently that most only make minimum wage which is also very anger inducing. On a lighter note, did you know there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay in a game?


I know there is a lot of time I am fast forwarding during a game. It's probably the safest for the players though.


I'm sure it is but I knew that they seemed very long for the actual plays involved. I wondered how they tracked so much about the players. It turns out they have tracking chips embedded in their shoulder pads and the footballs.


I love chips. Especially Doritos. So good! What's your favorite chip?


I would say maybe tortilla chips if I have dip for them. If not, I like honey BBQ. Are you a fan of Alex Smith?


Nice. I do like Alex Smith. I think Andy Reid made the right choice.


That is probably true. But he'll be okay because he is very intelligent. He took so many AP test in high school that he entered college as a junior. He received his Bachelor's in 2 years and was working on his master's when drafted.


I could barely graduate in 4 years and this guy is doing it in 2! What a show off!


It is impressive. It took me 4 years to get a 2 year degree because I started later and had a mortgage to pay so I couldn't go full time. On a similar note, Baker Mayfield once thought about quitting football to be a full time competitive video game player.


At least you went. Good for you! You should be proud and not qualify it. Baker Mayfield doesn't have a degree (I dont think)...


Thank you. I am not aware of a degree for him but I could be wrong. I know that he went to the University of Oklahoma but I do not know if he graduated.


They just got Jalen Hurts and based on their transfer history at QB, he is going to win the Heisman...


I am not versed in college football but if he makes it pro I will be seeing him.


You and everyone outside of Boston! I just want good games. I would prefer a new team to watch but the way they beat the Chargers last week put it in doubt. Reid is a better coach than Lynn though so he probably will be better prepared.


Speaking of, apparently Belichick lists Brady on the injury report every week just in case.


No I'm not really a fan, I do read about big happenings in the league though. Yourself?


Same here.  Out of the 32 teams I would have to say that Cleveland is my favorite team.  Do you have a favorite?


I like the Seahawks, they're my local team and I grew up seeing people excited about them which was always fun.


lol  That's why I chose Cleveland.  Did you know that the NFL has no written rule against female players?


I actually did learn that not long ago, that was really surprising to me. Do you think that there will ever actually be a female who is able to compete on that level?


I think we might at some point.  Possibly as a kicker or punter I'm thinking.


Yeah, that makes sense. I think unless they change some rules though that we probably won't be seeing a quarter back or like a defensive lineman though. Do you think that there are women who can play those positions with men or do you think that it's more likely they would do well in their own league?


I think they could play the positions.  It's getting hit that worries me.  Maybe that is why the NFL is using tracking chips now in the shoulder pads.  Maybe they are gathering data that could be used to gauge how hits effect certain players.


I think that it very well could be why they're doing that it makes sense. I wonder if they're also doing that so that coaches like Belichick can't list guys on the injury list every week as some sort of mind game. What do you think about Brady getting listed constantly?


I think that's funny!  I think Belichick does it play mental games with the team they are playing next.


Seems to work pretty well the Patriots are definitely considered one of if not the best team in the league. It's interesting that QB's are so important to the team, I think it's funny that Tom Brady was snubbed in middle school by his team as the QB.


That's is pretty funny.  He is considered one of the biggest steals in the history of the NFL draft due to him being drafterd in the 6th round.


That's crazy to me, he's considered one of the best QB's of all time but he was overlooked in the drafts. I wonder if some of those other coaches are kicking themselves.


I agree.  I think he is the best just because he knows how to win.  He had never thrown 30 TD passes in a season prior to 2007 so it goes to show that the best stats always don't produce a winning formula.
