Nice. That's funny. Did you know that facebook owns instagram. I am curious about the article section 1. Seems a little too vague...


i do love instagram better,  somethimes its nice just to scroll through pics than read everything.


I agree. I have been on a hiatus from FB and it feels really good. I got too angry or depressed or agitated when I read FB. And I am only friedns with like 100 people. I shouldn't be that agitated with my family and friends. Insta though is a lot more relaxing.


Yeah same here, too much complaining all the time.


I have been on FB maybe 30 minutes this year and that has been becuase of my job. I havent really been on Insta because It may be best to just stay off of all social media. I want to be able to read the news and not social media. So when I get the urge to go on social media, I open the news app instead. It's been better for me.


Thats good, that you have goals to stay off of social media and its working. I didnt know Mark Z. suffers from a colorblindness.


That's why the thumb is blue! Makes sense but I didn't know that until today.


lol Yeah the whole fb has a blue scheme,  definitely makes sense.


Thats not as unusual as using it to rewrite your consitution, like Iceland.


Yeah that is weird. Do you watch TV?  Any good shows you like?


I like Brooklyn 99 right now. Really good writing. And modern family. What about you?


Oh I have watched a few episodes of Brooklyn 99,  I love Andy Samberg,  he is hilarious!  I am watching Homeland,  Archer,  The flash.  Waiting for a lot of the other shows come out with new seasons.


I like the flash too. Tried to get into Archer the first season but couldn't do it. Homeland gets great reviews but I get HBO, not showtime...


Homeland is now on Netflix.  Yeah im waiting on so many shows right now,  Game of thrones,  Ozark,  Shameless,  travelers, You,  The santa clarita diet.


I had a list of about 15-20 shows I would watch religiously and then my roommate at the time said he had no more room for new shows and to stop talking to him about new shows. Since then, I watch about 10. I realized how much I have to do...


yeah same here.  I try not to add anymore new shows until the ones im watching finally end.  I have about 15 on my list.  Its ridiculous how much TV shows have gotten so much better.


I know! I jsut dont have the space. And now my 7 & 5 year old want to watch their shows... I can't watch Bunk'd anymore!!!


Haha yeah seriously!  I know the feeling.  That why we have 2 tvs and we mostly watch shows after kiddos go to bed.  Been goo chatting.


Yes. I like both NFL and college. I have also watched Aussie rules football but that variation is very confusing.


I'm with you on College and NFL but I cannot understand the Australian football. Do you watch on cable?


Yes typically I do. I love watching on tv because the yellow first down marker is helpful.


That line is helpful! I cannot imagine watching games without it!


Yes exactly. That is why I think ESPN deserves the emmy for creating it!


I feel like that is a low bar to jump over for an emmy, right?


Maybe so bud not exactly sure. One thing I do know is that football players didn't always make as much money as they do now. Back in the 60's bowlers made more.


Wow. Engineers make more now than the average football player now. Crazy, right?


Yeah that is very surprising. Too many injuries! Former pats running back Green-Ellis never once fumbled-I hope he made a lot!


He only played 6 years. Seems like a really short career.


Yeah it does. The highest ever football game score was 222-0. Cumberland is the team that lost and I bet they are still embarrassed about that one.


I had the under too! What a bad bet... Snoop wrote a fight song for his son's high school football team...


Haha I would like to hear that! I also like Drake who wan born in 1986, few years before me!


Me too. I cannot understand music now a days. I think I am too old...


Haha what do you like? Drake is quite popular. He spent a ton of money on his UK tour!


Not Drake. Classic rock, modern rock, classical.


Oh nice. do you like classic cars? It is legal to drive with flamethrowers on your car in South Africa!


I do like classic cars but my wallet is not fond of them. I wouldn't mind a flame thrower on my car...


Yeah flame thrower would be sweet. Apparently it is to prevent car jacking which must be very prevalent in South Africa. Have a good day nice chat!


Hey there how often do you watch television?


Hello, nearly every day. I'm currently watching That 70's show. Ever see it?


oh I have seen it, didn't they try to remake that show in the uk?


Yeah. It was canceled after 10 episodes. How odd.


I wonder if they have a different sense of humor than we do? Did you ever watch the show Pokemon by the way


I do not. I have seen every episode of Thomas the Tank that George Carlin narrates.


How is that show by the way? I love George Carlin but I don't think he makes adult jokes since its a kids show lol


It's one of the very few kids shows that I could watch. Mine stopped watching when Alec Baldwin took over the narration. He was pretty good too.


Speaking of TV shows, do you ever watch the show South Park? It's one of my favorites


I do not. I do watch the Simpson's on occasion. I never saw the Bartless episode.


Yes I've never seen that episode either, you should check out South Park though, one time they roasted Family Guy and The Simpsons actually sent them flowers afterwards


I can't stand Family Guy, was the roast that bad/good? I hear Ringo Starr also narrated Thomas the Tank.


Yes they definitely nail it, they are spot-on in showing that it is not good LOL, what else do you like to watch for entertainment by the way?


I love watching Bill Nye. I guess he was discovered when he won a Steve Martin look-a-like contest.


Yeah Bill Nye was really cool when I was a kid. I like to play the Nintendo Entertainment System to when I was a kid, did you ever play it


I did. I honestly didn't notice that there were only 50 some colors.


No I never noticed that either. Interesting too that that system lasted until the year 2003 in Japan


I can't believe it took them that long to discontinue it. I also can't believe that someone thought Ronald Reagan wasn't right for a role of President, in Hollywood.


No that is really funny! I'm just happy that we have video games that we don't have to use chicken for entertainment like they did in ancient Britain LOL


LOL. Could you imagine the look on Caesar's face when he saw that/


Haha I'm sure he was shocked. he probably wished that he had a telephone to tell his friends about it LOL


Yes, I have had to call 911 before, sad to say.


I'm sorry. I just realized I've never done it. Did you know that there 750 episodes of "Pokemon". I was sure it's much shorter.


I can believe it. I remember babysitting some kids in graduate school, and they were watching and playing Pokemon back then, and it was a little over 15 years ago.


well, 50 episodes for a year, so totally 16 years. It's just difficult to imagine. Were you interested to watch it?


I watched it a few times, but I didn't like. But, when there was the video game, "Pokemon Go!" I played it. It was fun to be a part of that.


How long did you play "Pokemon Go". I've tried once for about 20 minutes, but didn't really enjoy it.


I played a few times. The best part of it was buying the portable charger for my phone, which I used a lot.


Ok. I didn't that there is the only one episode of "The Simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned


I didn't either. It seems like he is in every single episode. Were you a Simpsons fan?


I used to be. But I've noticed that now I don't understand all humor. Maybe I'm getting older. How about you?


I only ever liked the show okay. It wasn't my favorite, but my spouse and my stepson liked it a lot.


Nice. Did you know that New York City area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone


No, I didn't. I lived in the NYC area for a while, but I didn't remember that being the area code.


Really? I've never lived in NYC. Did you know that cables carrying phone and internet data just lay on the ocean floor?


No, I had no idea. I wonder how they get the cables to sink. I know there are phone and cable lines buried in the ground. The cable guys dug up our yard a couple of years ago to lay the line. We ended up having a mole decide it was his personal tunnel.


Yes, my dogs thought so! They would walk all over the yard following the mole above ground. I'm glad for my cell phone, like a little computer in my hand.


Yes, we used some organic mole repellent, and I haven't seen the little guy in a while.


Ok. It was my pleasure to talk with you. Have a good day!


quite a bit actually. do you ever watch the Simpsons?


Yes a lot. There is an episode where Bart does not appear


I liked it a lot but apparently it did not do well in the UK


I guess that is what happens when you remake things like that verbatim


True. Did you ever watch Thomas the Tank?


Yes, Alec Baldwin did the voice for about 52 episodes of it


Yes and same for George Carlin and Ringo Starr, 52 episodes each


Yes I have seen some episodes. Do you know how many are out now?


Yes there are 750 of them, that would take forever to watch


Yes, they have been on air for 16 years now and counting


That is a lot. Do you use your phone much?


All the time. Do you know why the NY area code is 212?


Yes because it was easier to dial on a rotary phone


No but I hear if they get stuck together there is no separating them


That sounds interesting. It was nice chatting with you.


Do you know about the different types of football?


I don't know much about football. How about you?


A little bit.      I know that some countries use the term to refer to soccer.


Soccer is an insanely popular sport around the world. In the past, NFL football wasn't nearly so popular. In the 1960's  bowlers made twice as much as top football stars


That is interesting considering how much money they make today.      Gaelic Football players may be a different matter.


Don't know anything about Gaelic football. Is it played in only one country?


Probably not.    Even Australian rules football is played worldwide.


The college game has changed a lot over the last century. In 1916, the highest score ever in a football game took place. Georgia tech defeated cumberland 222-0. What was the coach thinking there?


Maybe they had a pink locker room like the University of Iowa!    Enough to drive any coach crazy.


I wonder how many games U of Iowa has won at home. That would tell the story of how effective that pink business is.


Perhaps things would be better if they set up a courtroom in the stadium like the Philadelphia Eagles.


I wonder who gets to be judge and jury. I guess the fans are pretty rowdy there.


Probably so, although not as much as KISS fans!    I cannot imagine the crowds at the arena football team they purchased a piece of!


But they wanted to hire Tim Tebow? Is that guy still around? KISS would probably make money just off the merch.


Perhaps so.       Tebow was big in college football, home to 14 of the 25 largest stadiums in the world!


It's astonishing. College has become a shrine to sports teams. Sometimes people even end up getting an education there. Or so I've heard. I should have majored in football studies.


True.    Alex Smith received his bachelors degree in two years and began working on a masters before being drafted for the NFL!


The power of the AP test! He must have been pretty smart to do grad work while playing sports.


Too true.    Speaking of Smart football teams, the Juniperso Serra High School JV football organization was definitely not one!


I guess Tom Brady was still developing as a playing and had not revealed his true potential. Or the coach was a dunce and played favorites.


Either that, or like Baker Mayfield, Brady was playing too many video games.


Baker could make a living on games, but would he gets the $$ and the women? Well, it was great chatting with you!


Thanks!    Remember, the circular huddle was only invented due to a quarterback being deaf!


Sometimes,  Im not a huge fan though.  How about yourself?


Thats cool.  Did you know those huge flags at football stadiums are about $50,000 to make lol


OMG, that is ridiculous. How much do they weigh?


over 1,000 pounds,  that is such a random question lol


WOW, that is pretty heavy. I wonder how they get them up there?


Interesting. Did you know ESPN won an emmy for their first down marker?


I think thats great,  super useful to see that digital line on tv for people at home.


Yeah, I wonder if someone won something for the hockey puck thing?


That's a good one too.  I don't know how many times I used to look for the puck and now its so simple.


Yeah, pretty crazy. Did you know Kiss bought an arena football team?


Yeah, I think it was a bad idea, but it isn't my money.


Theres a football stadium in texas that costs 60 mil to build!


Interesting. Do you know what team it is?


No,  its a high school football team lol


Interesting. That is a big expensive stadium for high school. Well, nice chatting with you.


What up? Are you a big football fan? I watch college football a lot, my favorite team Iowa has painted the vistor's locker room pink


I am not a big football fan. That is interesting. 14 of the 25 biggest stadiums do belong to american college football teams


That's too bad but not everyone is into it. Maybe bowling is for you, the top bowlers in the 1960s made more than professional football players


Watching bowling is a bit boring, though I do like to play once in a while. Some fans get too hyped up about their teams. The Eagles football team had a temporary court in their stadium because of the bad behavior of some fans


Lol I've read about that, those fans are very unruly especially since they won a superbowl. Too bad Benjarvus Green-Ellis wasn't playing in the superbowl, he has never fumbled a ball in his career


Wow, that is awesome. The highest score ever in a football game was in 1916. Georgia tech beat cumberland 222-0


That's crazy! What might be even more crazy is Tom Brady's jv football team never started him when he was the backup


Wow, and his team had an incredibly bad season where they didn't even score a touchdown.


Yea, the coach doesn't sound too smart if he wouldn't change quarterbacks


You would think if your season was going that bad you would change your strategy!


Yea, especially with a qb as smart as Tom Brady. He and Alex Smith are two of the smartest qbs in the league, Alex Smith entered college as a Junior


So, I guess most quarterbacks are right handed. There is only one left handed one, Kellan Moore, in the NFL


hmmm that's kinda odd, I would think there was more left handers than just Kellan Moore


Talking more about quarterbacks, the circular huddle was created by Paul D Hubbard,a  deaf quarterback, so that his signals coudl not be read by the other team


Ok that is something I never knew! Know any other interesting facts?


Alex Smith got his bachelor's degree in two years and began working on his master's degree before he was the first overall pick in the 2005 nfl draft.


Yea I heard about that, he took a bunch of AP classes/tests in high school


Yes, it seemed he wanted to be prepared for whatever happened. It's good to have a backup plan.


Yes it is. Baker Mayfield strongly considered becoming a competitive gamer before going to the NFL


That is interesting. I wonder if he uses some of the same skills in gaming and in football.


I don't know how well halo 3 translates to a NFL game


I see the highest scoring game ever was 222-0 in 1916 for Georgia Tech. Every play must have been a score!


I saw that. wow can you imagine sitting in the stands and watching that game. I'm surprised someone didn't stop the game at a certain point because it was getting too embarrassing for the other team. the quarterback could have gone to the locker room and taken a nap and let the kicker throw the ball for a while...LOL


Might have happened. Some teams just aren't equal Happened here in the upper midwest when a team score 80 some points, but they just kept getting good bounces with third string players.


When I saw a high scoring college game,there was a deaf quarterback throwing for one team and he had to rely on hand signals from his coach for the plays or any last minute changes.


Thats pretty much how it works for an NFL QB. The microphone cuts off at 15 seconds. Anything else is communicated via screaming or hand signals


Yes i heard about that in the superbowl.Tony Romo was commenting on it and stated that Tom Brady for the New England Patriots sscreamed out "REAGAN" for a play call in the red zone of New England Patriots field position.


I heard that too. Baker Mayfield almost played competitive gaming instead of football. Apparently he was quite good at Halo 3


I've never tried Video game football.To me it just doesn't feel right to play on a tv screen. I'd much prefer to play in person with some friends at the local park university field.


Me too. Can be boring to mash buttons, The Eagles team had a temporary court setup for fans with bad behavior. I'm a VIkings fan and am not surprised.


I couldn't believe the music group KISS bought into an arena football team and had the plan of signing Tim Tebow to a contract. can you imagine what the uniforms would look like?


More imaginative than any other current uniforms. Spiked collars!


Ha, and I'd imagine it would be the first arena football game with live music and special effects in the end zone.


Yes, and have large stadiums like some colleges have that can fit 60,000 screaming fans. All of them more interested in the music than the football game. Probably have to have extra security.


I could see that happening between scores and waiting for kicking teams to ge ready.


Can you imagine the half time shows. Flames and light shows on the stadium LED boards. it would put an ordinary Football game to shame.


That would be sweet! To me, that's more entertaining than a marching band.


Excellent, I'll have to email Roger Gooddell the idea and see if I can get it in next years superbowl half time show. In my opinion, anything is better than it has been in the past few years.


I do its one of my favorite sports, what about you? do you like it?


I find it hard to follow though the yellow line does help. ESPN got an emmy for that.


Thats fair, the yellow line may seem like a little thing but it really changed the game. Football stadiums are quite expensive to make


I wonder how many of them have temporary courts. The Eagles set up a stadium due to their fans bad behavior.


I guess that works that saves time and keeps fans in line, 14 out of the 25 largest stadiums in the world are college football stadiums


Wow, interesting. I wonder how much Cumberland spent on their stadium. In 1916 they lost a game 22 to 0 to Georgia Tech.


Maybe not a lot,  maybe they retired from football after that defeat.


Oh, did they? Maybe if they had someone like Benjarvus Green Ellis on their team they would have done better. He hasn't fumbled the football in his nfl career.


Yeah Benjarvus was a great player I think he retired back in 2011 cant believe he never fumbled a ball though, he was a great RB


Tom Brady is another great player. Yet, his high school football team refused to start him even though they were having a bad season!


He is a great player I really like how he plays and really? sounds like the team had a terrible coach


Yeah, they had failed to win a game or even score a touchdown!


They had a legend in the bench and the coach didnt even give him the chance to play. I bet he regretted that later


Yeah, I'll bet. Good thing he didn't give up on football. Speaking of quitting football, Baker Mayfield once considered quitting football so that he could be a competitive gamer.


Looks like he made the right decision, he is a great QB. Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB in the league or at least he was


Interesting. Wonder why that is, if being left handed would give you a disadvantage? Speaking of which, the circular huddle was created by a deaf quarterback so that he would not be at a disadvantage. He did not want the other team to read his hand signals.


Really by a deaf QB, well he really left a legacy in the NFL, many teams use the circular huddle now


Yeah, I think that's neat how football has evolved. It's interesting how in the 60s top bowlers made two times as much as top football stars.


I guess the game wasnt that popular back then hard to imagine a bowler earning more money now a days.


Yeah, amazing how big a part of our society football has become. Well, nice chatting with you!


Pittsburgh steelers, did you know that the locker room for visiting football teams is completely pink in the University of Iowa.


I guess its is mind games.  Georgia tech won a game 222-0 once


yeah I bet Cumberland will never forget that game.


how about espn inventing the yellow line?


Did you know in 1960 bowlers made more money?


yeah I guess they made twice as much as football stars. American college football teams have 14 of the world's 25 largest stadiums.


Yes, incredible.  Also incredible, former patriot green ellis never fumbled as a rb.


yeah, also in 1965, a high school football team continued to play even when the science building behind them was burning


yep Did you know that Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in NFL.


How about alex smith, he entered college as a junior


wow that's an accomplishment, he must of had his bachelor's degree in 2 years


Did you know Baker Mayfield was a competitive gamer?


No I didn't know, that is so cool. It's been nice to speak with you.


Are you a Notre Dame fan?  They are 4-0 but not everyone is convinced of their talents.


I actually am not a Notre Dame fan, but judging from that winning record, I think I am convinced. Do you think its because of luck or skill?


Dexter Williams ran a 45 yard drive to make a touchdown for them in a victory, but came off a suspension of four games.  I'm not sure why he was suspended but that can't help the team to have players with that happening to them.


Maybe it's because of drug related issues, I was recently reading another news article about football player who was suspended because of that. Do you have a favorite college football team?


I like Penn State, but I think it would be fun to visit the University of Iowa with my daughter.  It might just inspire her to play football in college as they painted their locker room for the visiting team pink.


Haha, that would be really neat. I don't think there is a rule that restricts females from playing.


The quarterback often is the key player in the game leading the team in offensive plays.  However, for the Junipero Serra High School jv football team they had Tom Brady on the roster and failed to start him and lost every game that year not even getting a touchdown!


That's proof of Tom Brady's greatness, he is considered one of the greatest quarterback of all time and I agree with that statement. Can't wait to see him play next week.


I'm more an Eagles fan, but not proud of the fact they needed a temporary court set up at their stadium for six years due to fan behavior.


How rowdy do the fans get? I have never attended a live football game but would love to attend one but it's surprising to find out that 14 of the world's 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams!


They must have done enough to get the security in.  One team in 1965 kept playing football even while their science building was burning down behind them.  I wonder if anybody was inside of the building?


I hope not, that sounds dangerous. The huddle used in today's games actually resulted from a deaf quarterback to prevent other teams from reading his hand signals


That was genius!  Did you know not many quarterbacks are left-handed?  Kellan Moore is the only one in the NFL.


I wonder if the defensive plays are adjusted to accommodate that fact of ball being thrown from left-handed quarterback


I'm not sure.  Are you a Kiss fan?  They bought into an arena football team.  Then they offered Tim Tebow a contract.  I hear he is playing baseball


I heard about that, so Tim Tebow doesn't play football anymore?


I'm not sure, but Baker Mayfield was going to be a gamer and probably wisely chose University of Oklahoma instead.  He could beat anyone in halo 3 he claims.


Seems like he knows what to do after he retires or is ever injured from playing. Alex Smith as well, he even went on to get a master's degree before being drafted to the NFL


He was a smart guy.  Passed so many AP tests in high school that Smith.


Yeah, but even then, top bowlers in 1960s made twice as much as top football stars, I find that a little hard to believe


I wonder why throwing a ball was so much more attractive than watching kicking and scoring a goal.


Yeah and watching the offensive team line up directly behind the offensive line to follow the leader, or quarterback


That is exciting and the QB has a lot of responsibility


Yeah, I admire Tom Brady's leadership skills


Nice Chatting!  Good luck to Brady at the Superbowl!


I am a pro football fan. How about yourself?


I dont know.  I find it hard to say, this is my team, there are many like it, but this one is mine.


I can see that. I like rooting for your team but some people get way too crazy with it like they have a personal investment. Were you aware that in the 60's pro bowlers made more than pro football players?


I like the idea that bowling is a sport.  The NFL draft is constructed to spread out talent and make sure no one team outspends any other.


Yes I like that they have a salary cap. It makes it more interesting than baseball where there is no cap so the Yankees win all of the time because they have more money. Did you hear what the University of Iowa did to the visiting teams locker room?


I understand it is pink.  Every thing in it is painted  pink.  I find it fascinating the lengths people go to to win a game.


I agree. That's a lot for work for a mind game. Have you ever heard what the highest football score ever was?


I am going to say it was a long time ago.  Before league play.  College ball where one team was from a tech school.


Yes it was 1916 between Georgia Tech and Cumberland and the score was 222-0!


I wonder if the band took the field at some point.  Its interesting that footballs definition changes based on location. Rugby, soccer and australian rules.


I agree. It can make it confusing. Did you also know that the Eagles has a court set up in their stadium for six years because of bad behavior from fans? That's insane that they were acting that horribly.


Oh, I dont know.  People often behave how they are expected.  Dress a bunch of dudes up in green and silver, give them face paint and beer.  stuff happens.


I will never understand that kind of behavior. People get absorbed. In 1965 a high school team kept playing football as their science building burned down behind them.


Yes, makes you think that the players and fans had a clear sense of priorities.  I find it is better to follow a player in the NFL than a team.  What player do you like?


I'm a Bears fan so for me this year Khalil Mack stood out. Have you heard of Benjarvus Green-Ellis? He was a RB for the Patriots.


The Patriots have some amazing players.  Benjarvus is just one of them.  The Patriots have the best quarterback in the league.


He is definitely up there. Did you know that in his time with the Patriots Green-Ellis never fumbled a ball?!


Yes, that is an amazing feat.  Unless he never got to play.  Its hard to fumble on the side line. ESPN and the league develop interesting tech every once in a while.


I heard that ESPN were the ones to invent the yellow line that indicates the first down. Can you imagine watching a game without that line?


That line is amazing.  I also like it when the plays are diagrammed on the screen.  As I understand it, the team with the most points wins.


I enjoy that as well and you are correct. Nice chatting with you.


HI, how are you? Are you hankering for a chat? Do you like sports?


I like the idea of sports. I really don't think they should be as highly valued in society and I think pro sports players get away with way too much. I was young and dumb isn't really a reason or excuse. I think that they need to be held accountable and properly reflect on their actions and words.


They should because they are role models. Everyone is young and dumb, but rich athletes are surrounded by advisers to help them.


Well I don't think that they should be held accountable because they are role models but also because treating people with respect should be expected period. Theres a lot of good things about sports too and it's really cool how it is cross cultural. it is super popular in japan.


Yes, baseball and soccer are quite popular in Japan. I figure the NFL could have a couple of games there and people would attend. Usually athletes in Japan don't do the silly things as much as US players.


or they don't get caught haha. i know things are a lot tamer there. I visited a few months ago. I would be interested in seeing the nfl have women


There are women referees. They could have women trainers. Women players? Not sure. Size is a problem.


Well its a violent sport anyway, I could see them as kickers. there arent any restrictions in the league rules. I would just like to see more representation besides thin and bronze cheer leaders. I think they get the short end of the stick...the saints cheerleaders are forbidden at even dining in the same place together!


They could have male cheerleaders too. I guess NOLA had problems in the past. Maybe they want to discourage fraternization. I dunno.


I agree about the male cheerleaders. fraternization rules are pretty big across the league. do you like basketball? I think college ball has a lot of talent in it. Kareem abdul-jabbar was a beast in college and got the dunk shot banned from the NCAA for like a decade.


He was denied a legacy. He was a key player for UCLA. He certainly changed his style because of it.


I dont know what denied a legacy means. I had no idea that the inventor of basketball was a losing coach at their university


He created a game he didn't fully understand. Or he had terrible players.


its neat to me how intertwined technology is with sports nowadays. watching and playing. using tracking chips to track speed and rotation and stuff is really cool. it's like a fitbit on steroids.


The coaches can probably use that data for strategy. So every aspect will be tracked. There will be sensors in the turf.


for all 11 minutes of gameplay that ACTUALLY happen in a game...


More time for commercials. I guess the highlight reels would be enough for me. I prefer sports with more action.


Hockey and Soccer are great for that. Baseball was fun to play as a kid but is really slow...of course you do go "counter clockwise" so maybe its supposed to be a little slow.


I would expect kids to prefer a game with more action. I did. I like moving. Basketball was better exercise than baseball. Baseball has about 18 minutes of action.


even the supreme court justices like basketball...the highest court in the land!


With only 9 justices, I don't think they can have a proper game. Well, I enjoyed chatting.


Hey partner. Do you like football? There are many variations including rugby, Aussie rules, and Gaelic!


Hello, I love football. Do you like American football?


Yes American football is by far my favorite. I watched the Super Bowl this year and saw Tom Brady win another championship. Can't believe he didn't start on his high school team.


Me too. That's crazy. I don't even think he was drafted. Did you know Snoop Dogg wrote a fight song for his sons football team?


Wow that would be really cool to have snoop dog as a dad. Speaking of high school football in 1965 a team played as their science building burned down behind them.


I agree. That's very interesting. I saw there's a high school stadium in Texas that seats 18,000 people.


Wow high school football is huge in Texas. And I guess it's true that everything is bigger in Texas. Kiss bought an arena football team and offered a contract to Tim Tebo but I don't think he signed!


Lol yes it is. Wow that's interesting too. I saw the huge American flags at stadiums weigh 1,100 pounds.


How do they get them up there? The Phillies football team has such misbehavng fans that they set up a court in the stadium!


Not too sure how they get them up there. That's funny, but not surprising given it's Philly. They have some very rude fans I hear.


Yes I would imagine so. In terms of college football, the University of Iowa paints their visiting football teams locker pink.


That's hilarious. I wonder if that helped them out at all? 14 of the world's 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams in the UC.


Yes college football is definitely popular. Back when Baker Mayfield played at the University of Oklahoma he was a big video gamer.


That's pretty cool. Who is your favorite QB?


My favorite quarterback is Russel Wilson. Alex Smith is also cool though because he's so smart. He got his bachelors degree in two years And then started working on his masters degree.


Very smart guy. I like Russel Wilson too. My favorite is Patrick Mahomes.


I thought he was going to take the whole thing this year. He's got a bright future. Did you know the circular huddle was actually invented by deaf quarterback?


He does have a bright future. I did not know that about the huddle. Makes sense though so the other team couldn't see his plays.


Yes exactly. And football players didn't always make that much money, in the 1960s top bowlers make twice as much. Well I really enjoyed chatting with you.


That's very interesting. It was good chatting with you as well!


How are you today? You follow football much?


I do follow the NFL, Are you a football fan?


Guess I am a "fair weather" fan.  Follow the Eagles when they are winning.  Their fans have had their history of bad behavior.


I am a Pittsburgh steelers fan. Didn't do too well last season.


The eagles set up a temporary court because of bad acting fans.  lol


That is funny. I love how Iowas locker room for visiting teams is painting in all pink.


I wonder if that is to intimidate them.  Although I would think it would rile them more.


Probably! Also funny that 1960s top bowlers made twice what top football stars made.


Almost half of the largest stadium belong to american college teams


I did not know that. The highest score ever in a game was 222 to 0.


Wow.  Guess the zero team was asleep or something.  The Dream Team  lol


Probably! That was in 1916 when Georgia tech destroyed Cumberland.


Interesting that the huddle was made so a deaf quarterback could display his hand signals in private.


That is pretty convenient. I love that Kiss bought into an Arena football team and offered tim Tebow a contract.


Guess they are football fans.  Or money fans.  Looks like Tom Brady, superbowl champion was a sleeper quarterback.


I love how his highschool team never played him and they lost every game.


Yes..maybe they were the ones that were sleeping.  That dream team again  lol


Seriously! Did you know Kellan Moore is the only left handed qb in the nfl?


You would think there would be more.  I wonder if that changes anything since the qb almost always throws forward passes.


You would think. Impressive how rb benjarvus green ellis never fumbled once in his nfl career.


Many impressive players.  MIght spark my football interest  again.  Nice chatting with you.


hi how are you? are you a football person?


Yea, it's pretty fascinating that football can be Rugby, gridiron, and Gaelic depending on the location


I dont really know the variants on the sport. i figure its all about violence and pain. except soccer. that is not about pain at all.


Yea, it's probably more painful lifting those huge american flags at football stadiums that weigh 1,100 lbs


how many people do they need to lift one? they are probalby pretty strong. like military.


I don't know, at least 20 people, the flags are also pretty expensive and cost 50,000 to make


wow. that is a lot. I guess it takes a special company to make one of those.


Yea, I wonder if 14 of the world's 25 largest stadium get a discount since they are college football teams


man, we put a lot of money into sporing spectacle and patriotism. i would like to see money going to education.


That would be nice but even in the department of defense they highest paid employees are the football coaches


i guess they need to compete for coaching talent too. everybody wants winning teams. not bright students.


Very few football players are. Russel Wilson was pretty smart plus he played baseball in college too, in fact he has a major league contract with the Yankees


that is impressive. i would play baseball. fewer injuries, longer career.


Yea, Russell is pretty talented though, he is on of only 2 black qbs to win the super bowl


Man, that is great. Who is the other qb? warren moon?


No Doug Williams of the Washington Redskins


oh, my bad. i dont really know much about football. thanks. I guess that tom brady has the most at this point?


Yea but he has never thrown a touchdown pass to himself like Brad Johnson


True! Who could plan that play? Brad must have got lucky! Anyway, great chat!


You too, I'm gonna youtube the fight song Snoop Dogg wrote for his son's football team


Great idea! Snoop's fight song! Have a great day!


Do you follow football at all?  I am getting back into following it recently.


Yeah I do like the sport, what about you?


I do as well.  I always thought it was interesting how many different types of football there are.


There is Canadian Football, Austrailian football and other regional football sports


Thats interesting, is Rubgy like another version of the sport?


It is.  Rugby is a variation of football.  Also, of course soccer is called football in most parts of the world


I see, well do you like Amrican Football?


I do.  I follow college more than the NFL.  I was always a fan of the Navy Midshipmen.


I heard they had a hard time reaching the bowl


They have had a up and down history over the years.  I also followed Oaklahoma when Baker Mayfield was playing for them.  He is a good QB


He was a good QB I agree, didnt he want to quit football and become a pro video game player?


Yes, but I think he will make a lot more money in the NFL than he will playing Halo for a living!


Yeah, pro players get paid tons of money, do you know who Alex Smith is?


Yes I do.  He was drafted 1 overall back in 2005.  He has had a good career in pro football


He is also a smart man, he got his BA in 2 years and also has a masters degree


Yes, he took a lot of college leve courses in high school and it gave him a heads up on his education.  It is good to be smart when you are a QB


Then you can really manage your finances, many players tend to waste their money after they retire,


They do.  It is sad how often you hear of athletes declaring for bankrupcy when they made millions in their careers.


its actually really sad, so do you have a favorite football team? mine are the Eagles


I actually follow the Jaguars myself.  But the Eagles are a good team.  The have some unruly fans for sure


Hey there how often do you watch football?


I do, I love football. Do you? How about OBJ to the Browns?


I can't say I watch too much football, I do like Tom Brady because he wins all the time though haha. What do you think about ESPN? Apparently they won an Emmy for creating the yellow line that shows first downs on tv broadcasts of football


For sure, it's hard to keep up with the NFL. I'm not a fan of Tom Brady, but he's definitely the best of all time. Pretty cool about the yellow line, was revolutionary back in the day.


Yes I agree. And I wish that we had televised the highest scoring football game of all time, did you hear about that game, it was 222 to 0


It was Georgia Tech and Cumberland right? That would have been a crazy game, in the 1910s too right?


Guess you're right. I just wish that we had video cameras back that! What do you think about the Patriots by the way? Do you like BenJarvus Green-Ellis? He's never actually fumble the ball which I think is a great record


Wow, they could have used them with Cumberland for sure. Did you know QB is actually an abbreviated name for Quarterback? Lol.


Haha yes I did know that I must say. I also knew that Kellen Moore was the only left-handed quarterback in the NFL, did you know that?


I think I've heard that a time or two lol. He's not in the league anymore, I wonder if there are any left handed QBs still?


Question. And I wonder if they have an Advantage if they are left-handed, speaking of players though, what do you think of Alex Smith, he seems like a genius


He is really smart, he was the #1 draft pick in 2005 too. Did you hear about his leg? Poor guy.


No I didn't, what happened to his leg? All I know is that he was working on his master's degree when he was finally drafted


For sure, he took so many AP classes he was a junior when he started school. He snapped his Tib-Fib in half, it seemed to hurt a lot, they thought he might lose it.


Wow that sounds very painful! the word tib fib remind me of Tim Tebow, and actually he was actually offered a contract by an area football team at one point


Oh wow, I never knew that. He's in the MLB Minor Leagues now though right?


Haha yes I think you're right! I also heard that the University of Iowa painted the opposing team's locker-room pink one time, I wonder if that help them out or not


I went to Iowa, the pink locker rooms are legendary, I wonder if any other school does that?


Yes that's a good question! Did you hear about the high school football team back in 1965? They kept playing their game even when their science building was burning down at the same time lol


Oh wow, it'd be really distracting. I wonder where that school was?


Yes I wish I could have seen that game! It is talking to me though that out of the 25 largest stadiums in the world, 14 of them are American football stadiums lol you think there would be some soccer stadiums in there


I am great this evening! How are you doing?


I am well, thanks. Do you like college football?


I ain't learned much about that college, but the football I know a bit about


I think the NFL is the real deal. I think that it's odd that they only do 11 minutes of actual play a game, but then again, they are professionals and paid appropriately.


yeah. I would hate to go through a game. I would be so tired and sore the next day. Who's your favorite team?


My favorite team is the one who wins me money on Monday.


HAHAHA! I like it! Do you live in a state where it is legal or do you know a guy?


I cannot confirm or deny that I live in a state that allows me to confirm or deny that I live in state that allows gambling. However, I am interesting in wagering. Did you want to wager a wager? I think there's a game coming up between Cumberland and Georgia Tech.


I think it's close to a million points to zero, but don't quote me. Things are in flux, so wait until your moment comes, then bet! It's a lock!


I will go with the under and Cumberland. Lock it up! It's my lock of the week!


You are a betting man! A man that enjoys risk and reward! May the Football Gods be with you! Who is the QB in the game though?


It doesn't matter... I am that confident about my Cumberland squad. We're more of a running team anyways. Clock management and special teams. Win the war in the trentches... and other cliches...


Cliches win games, and press conferences. Never dismiss the power of cliches! Football is game of cliches! Especially when it comes to the QB


QBs are the worst to listen to. All they do is talk in cliches... And then some moron sports talk hosts tries to disect what they said. They said nothing Sparky and the Bandit!


Football would not endure were it not for the power of the cliche. In cliches, we trust! I think that America, football, God and many others owe their longevity to cliches.


Wouldn't you rather hear a QB just say "Yeah, that team was trash and we smoked them because they were trash!"?


You are asking for blunt honesty from a player? Anyhows, it were great chatting with youse!


I just read an article about football, and in part the Seahawks.. Are you a football fan ??


Yes I heard Russel Wilson has some haters, specifically of the name Richard Sherman


It seems these days nothing can escape drama. I dont know how i feel but for sure money seems to always be the bottom line.. Dont you think ?


I don't think money/greed is always to blame, but it sure does have a huge effect on how things play out and brings out the worst in people.


True... it is not always to blame..... but money lack or or if someone gets more that you for equal contribution is a big factor... It seems in this case the Seahawks made a choice based on money.


Yeah it does seem like they were motivated by greed. Speaking of birds, did you know the Eagles had a court set up in their stadium from bad fan behavior?


Your kidding me... How did that works... Football is such big business anymore


Maybe they should put a small prison in their stadium hah. Football makes so much money, imagine what it does for the economy too with bars and restaurant showings


Oh yea it sure is trickle down economics Sherman being cut was also economics....


Are you a big fan of Sherman or the Seahawks?


Honestly not the biggest of football fans either American or Canadian..  But I do like a good gossip story !!!!


Oh yeah how's this for gossip. Baker Mayfield wanted to quit football to pursue competitive gaming as the best Halo 3 player of all time


Wow that is awesome... Many can and have used to sport to get ahead in life and prove that the dumb jock stereo is false... Like Alex Smith who was working on a Master's Degree.


Yeah apparently he entered university as a junior and got his bachelor's in two years.


Yes that is amazing. That on smart guy for sure!!


Speaking of university, did you know the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is painted completely pink?


ha....... Football like most things starts in the mind. I guess the pink is a statement they plays like girls ?? Why did you think they painted it pink ?


Because they want to annoy them. Mind games. Teams have 50%+ of a chance of winning on their home turf due to the more positive mindsets they have from fan reaction.


just like life,,,, if you think more positive, you see more positive things happen


Yes. Our brains are designed to neurally enforce negative thoughts more than positive for survival purposes.


Interesting..... more interesting is how we started with the foot (football) and ending  up talking about the brain..... full contact sport that football is


Well there's probably a ton of research done with football and it's negative effects of trauma on the brain. Just like with professional wrestling and we may see MMA get some smoke in the coming years.


I totally agree there.. who knows what is yet to be discovered


I am a big NFL fan, my favorite team is the Eagles.


i like the redskins myself. they are doing really well.


It's a shame that Alex Smith suffered such a gruesome injury.


That poor guy can't catch a break! He says it happened because of lack of rhythm.


It might affect his career in that he might not be able to play again. Luckily he was able to make some serious money before this happened.


True, but I don't know how he did it. Do you?


He broke his leg and the bone came out through the skin. Then he had an infection in the hospital following surgery.


Oh man! I did not know that. Let's hope he can play again. Did you ever hear of the highest score in a football game?


Yes, I heard it was 222-0. That probably was fun to watch.


I wonder how long it lasted? It would seem to take a long time to get that score!


Yes unless they just had a lot of long, quick touchdowns and turnovers.


Bowlers used to make more money then football players back in the day. It used to be huge.


I know a few of the old time football players in my city used to have offseason jobs,.


Really? like what? Can you believe ESPN won an Emmy for superimposing that yellow line?


I know one player used to be a concrete salesman when he was not playing.


Oh my gosh! That is so cool! Did you know that Tom Brady never got to start on his high school football team?


I bet that coach feels silly now. I think that he really landed in the perfect situation in New England to develop his career. I know he was the 199th player drafted when he came out of college.


Wow. That had to be hard waiting that long to be drafted. Sounds like he had a bad High school coach all around!


He did not play much in college and did not have a lot of good tests at the combine. Shows how much those matter in the end. It was fun talking football with you!


I do watch it occasionally,  but I do not follow it.  Did you know that the NFL uses tracking chips on the players and football?


I do know about that. I actually know the girl who does that. She flies into Indy to do it at the combine too. It's pretty cool.


Thats awesome,  work must be good then lol


It is! She even met Alex Smith. He's really smart! He took so may AP courses in HS that he entered college as a junior!


Yeah Ive heard,  thats really impressive!  Ive seen him a few times at some 49ers event or meet and greets,  never stood in line to meet him though.


Yes,  my family has season tickets to the niners, sf giants and warriors.  I only go when they dont lol But like I said I dont follow football,  and the only football games ive ever been to are 49ers.


Do you follow the other sports more than football? The warriors have to be fun going to!


I follow baseball more,  I love the Giants.  The warriors are definitely fun to watch!  Ive only been to 2 warrior games though lol no one is giving those tickets up.


HA! I don't blame them. I am watching baseball right now. BAL vs MIN. BAL is up 5 to 3. I am a baseball junkie!


Nice.  Did you hear about the person who found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in the attic?


That would be a great find! Unlike walking into Iowa's visiting locker room to find pink walls.


Yeah thats weird lol must be some tactical strategy.


It lulls them to sleep. Or they got a great deal at sherwin williams. At least they never lost 222-0.


Right that Georgia tech loss is brutal!!!


Yeah, I have never heard of cumberland so that loss may have been so bad, they disbanded the team after it.


Have you heard of the guy who never fumbled the football in his career?


Yes, Benjarvus green ellis. Played for 2 teams over 6 years. He never won an emmy though.


hey my friend do you like football at all?


Yes, I'm a pretty big football fan. What about you?


ya I liked the Patriots winning the superbowl personally, and they have a player who has apparently never fumbled a football in his whole career


Oh yes, I watched the Super Bowl too. I'm a Green Bay Packers fan though. Do you watch any college football?


can't say that I have, but I know the highest college football score of all time was 222-0 haha


Oh wow, that's a ridiculous score. I don't watch any college sports actually. Never heard of this Doc Bonner QB previously.


yup the gaem was between georgia tech and cumberland, definitely sucked to be a cumberland fan that day haha


Yeah, I bet football was way different in 1916. I don't think a score like that would be possible today.


no I don't think so, I know I'd leave the stadium, I'd also leave if I came in and my locker room was pink like aat iowa university haha


Haha yeah, that's clever. Apparently eagles fans are rowdy, didn't know that. It did take them decades to win a super bowl though


haha thats true, I watched the superbowl on tv and it's crazy ESPN won an Emmy for creating that yellow first down line on tv


It is, the yellow line is really helpful when watching. By the way, I wonder if players for Army or Air Force have to go through the same military protocol as everyone else


oh interesting I didn't know that, also didn't know that bowlers were paid a ton of money back in the 60's, more than football players


Same, I had no idea about that. I also didn't know Alex Smith was such a smart guy.


nope lots of players are super talented, like I guess Baker Mayfield also quit football to play videogames full time


Yeah, they are really dedicated too. Apparently a high school team played as one of their school buildings was on fire.


wow that is crazy, were you aware the football huddle was created by a deaf man?


I did not know, but it sure is a useful concept.


ya, he would do it to block the other team from seeing his hand signs


Interesting, I also learned that there's only one left handed quarterback in the nfl right now. I'm surprised, and it probably gives them some advantage, don't you think?


I was thinking that ya, I think his name is Kellan Moore


I'm great, just a little sorry that Sunday Night Football is over for the year!


A casual fan (go Ravens!), but I love the energy of the games and the playoffs. You?


I am a huge fan and I follow the bears. Hopefully I won't go too football nerdy on you!


I don't blame you if you do! Being around other football fans always gets me pumped up. How did the Bears do last season?


Made the playoffs but did nothing spectacular there. It was underwhlming. The ravens did well.


The Raven's haven't had a really good season since their last Super Bowl win, but I hope things will keep looking up for them. I think the Bears weren't the only underwhelming part of the playoffs - even the Super Bowl was.


The super bowl was not great. Were you rooting for a particular team?


Not really, but I figured the Patriots would win. The Rams didn't have much of a chance going into it, and they played too defensively. You?


I was rooting for the pats. I know that I am not popular with that opinion but I want to see greatness every week!


It is awesome to see a team that's so good they have six Super Bowl wins just in recent years! They have a lot of success with such a good coach and Tom Brady as quarterback.


Yeah. I want another team to step up and challenge their dynasty but no one has yet. Maybe the rams?


Not if the Rams keep playing like they played at the Super Bowl! I'd be happy to see any team able to challenge them (except maybe the Steelers, haha).


HA! I think they got out smarted by Belichick. I dont think the rams coach had much of a shot on that one...


Belichick has a lot of experience and he knows how to use his players! The Rams are good - they got to the Super Bowl after all - but I think the Patriots right now are a league above with the team and leadership they have.


Yeah. How do the pats got that much better than the rest of the league? Bill cant be that great and tom cant be that great either.


I think they're both good individually, but they have a kind of partnership that allows them to understand each other and work seamlessly together, possibly much better than other coaches and QBs. Teamwork makes the dream work, you know?


Yeah. I am just baffled by it. I know neither are the best.


Maybe their talent works like math. A coach and a quarterback that are individually good add up like 5 + 5, but ones that work well together are an exponential talent, like 4 x 4. Then you have 10 versus 16, if that makes sense and I'm not just being silly.


Don't watch much anymore but it use to be Green Bay. How about you?


I like the Cowboys. Glad you're not an Eagles fan. Evidently, the Eagles had a temporary court set up in their stadium for 6 years!


Wow! Did you hear about the stadium in texas?


Which one? The new one? Yeah, they're building a new ballpark soon, too.


Yeah it cost 60M and seats 18,000 ppl. That's a lot for a high school my goodness.


Oh, I thought you meant professionally. Yeah, there's a lot of money in Texas, and high school football is no joke anywhere. Apparently, there was a team in 1965 that continued playing as their science building burned down nearby.


What!! Crazy! Well apparently 14 of 25 largest stadiums belong to American colleges so there you go.


That's crazy. Apparently, the U of Iowa painted their guest football team walls pink. Seems like a waste of time and money.


Yeah to me too, i would think it would illicit the wrong response anyway. That would just make me mad!


I think it's supposed to offend them. Speaking of gendered disrespect, I think the NFL has shown a pattern of disrespect to women.


Yeah look at the cheerleaders in New orleans they have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in.


I know, that's so crazy.  Did you know that bowlers in the 60s made twice as much as football players?


I did not i do know that there is only one left handed QB in the nfl.


That's weird. You'd think there would be more.


Right! There is a RB who has never fumbled the ball in his entire career.


That's crazy. How talented! Do you know how the huddle was created?


I do not i always assumed it was to keep the other players from seeing and hearing the Calls being said. Why?


Sort of right! Paul Hubbard, who was a deaf quarterback, started doing it so the other teams couldn't see his hand signals. Anyway, nice chatting with you!


Yeah ok that makes sense. i remeber know it's Kellan Moore who is the only left handed quarterback.


No, but I'm clearly in the minority. 14 of the 25 largest stadiums in the world are for college football!


Same! I didn't know that the highest scored game ever was a college game over 100 years ago !!!


The game last night was pretty disparate. I don't know too much about football, but apparently the Pats are amazing even without RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis


I honestly didn't watch the game. People are so committed though. I can't imagine continuing to play with a building burning down behind me.


I didn't watch it either, but I looked up the results. Wait...a building burning down behind you? Huh? Has that happened?!


No! In 1965, a high school team kept playing even when their building was  burning down behind them! so crazy


I'll bet that was in the midwest or pacific northwest. They're crazy about FB there. But apparently Maryland Uni has a pretty stellar team, too.


Yeah, my brother actually played quarterback. I didn't realize that a deaf quarterback created the hand signals.


I don't really...know too much about football, to be honest. Like I know the term quarterback, but what exactly is the quarterback's role on the team?


He leads the offense, so he is in charge of determining the plays for scoring points


Ok, I get that. The most I know about FB is the reputations of the Pats and the Eagles and their rabid fans. Apparently, the Eagles had an actual court in their stadium for like six years because their fans would get out of control.


It's true!!! I've been to an Eagles game, it was CRAAZY


I've actually never been to a football game before, like, at all. Apparently it's somewhat big in Canada, too, not just the U.S., so I'm a North American anomaly lol


Hhah! I would like to see the university of iowa's pink locker room!


Yeeeeah. I wonder if they did that for the visiting team to make them feel emasculated? I mean, theoretically color is not gendered but, let's be real. There was definitely a tactic behind that.


of course. Although as a girl, pink is my favorite color.


But I'm a girl and blue is mine, so really it doesn't matter. But I wonder if the pink was like hot pink or light pink. Because if it was hot pink then wouldn't that have stimulated/amped up the team?


It's cool that espn won an emmy for putting a yellow line, i don't know much about football but that's cool


I guess that category must have been special effects? Sets the bar pretty low lol.


Why can't we harken back to the days when bowlers made way more money than football players? That's a sport I'm semi-good at!


Good morning!  Yes, I am a sports fan, Baseball first but follow most of the majors and minors.  You?


I also enjoy baseball, but I tend to focus more on football and the nfl


Certainly was a strange NFL season that ended in a familiar way...  Love or hate them, the Patriots are the best we've seen in a while


I mean people consider them the lannisters of nfl


Nice GOT reference!  College Football almost ended in the same fashion with Bama almost pulling it out.  ND should not have been in the dance in my humble opinion


Do you follow any specific players or position?


It usually depends on my Fantasy Team in any given year.  I don't have a favorite team or player per se, but I do enjoy the sport and players as a whole and love good, competitive games.


I personally enjoy looking at the quarterbacks since they lead the offensive on any team


Yes - QB is the most important position out there, and if a team doesn't have a good one, they don't have much chance of having any success.  The position sure has evolved over the last decade or so


There have been many great QB like Tom Brady or Kellan Moore


The lefty....  Some people call TB a system QB and being tied to Bilichek, but what he's done/doing is unbelievable!


True. Also a dream pair for any QB must be green ellis. he still hasn't fumbled his entire career


I remember they used to call him the Law Firm because the structure of his name looked like one "Benjarvis Green & Ellis...


I don't know why or how I remember those things, I find trivial things like that fascinating and they stick in my brain.


Then here is another interesting trivia. The eagles football team had a temporary court in their stadium due to their fan's bad behavior. Imagine how bad it must have been


Not sure where you are geographically, but the bad behavior by Philly sports fans is legendary.  They boo'd Santa Claus!  So, the fact that they have a court and jail in their stadium is not surprising at all!


Well obvious I'm very far away lol. In any case, thanks for the humorous chat.


hey, I do watch football, did you know Kellan moore is the only Left Handed quarterback in the NFL


I find that so strange, there are so many qbs out there. and U of Iowa painted their visitors locker room pink


ya that is odd, do you like any quarterbacks? I wonder if being left handed gave him an advantage or not


I wonder too. did you know alex smith finished university in two years?


no that is really smart though, I also didn't know that snoop dog wrote a fight song for his sons football team haha


yeah that is cool. Alex took many ap tets in high schol that is how he managed to do that


ya he seems very smart, did you hear that the highest paid person in the DOD is actually the football coaches, that seems strange


yeah I am not surprised, people pay a lot for those games. do you know baker mayfield?


No I don't, what makes him special? I do know that 14/25 of the biggest stadiums are all american football stadiums though


he is a quarterback who once considered quitting football to become a professional video gamer


ah thats interesting, well I think he made the right choice, what isn't the right choice is the Texas high school football stadium, apparently it cost 60 million dollars somehow


did you know the Eagles had a temporary court set up in their stadium?


haha no what do they use it for, I do know that the only guy to throw a touchdown pass to himself is Brad Johnson, that is awesome!


Well their fans misbehaved a lot so they had to do that.


ah that makes sense, I heard they get rowdy, did you know only 2 black quarterbacks have ever won the superbowl?


That is strange. a high school team kept playing as the science building was burning behind them


that is really weird, do you like the band Motorhead? I guess they sponsored a boys football team which is cool


Oh that is cool. did you know Kiss offered Tim Tebow a contract?


haha I din't know that I love kiss! did you know there is only one left handed quarterback in the whole NFL?


who is that? and did you know a patriots player has never fumbled the football in his career?


I heard about that he is amazing! and yes the left handed quarterback is Kellan Moore


A little, more college than pro.  How about you?


I tend to watch pro, but that's because I went to a basketball college.


I went to a small private college, the basketball team was awful, and didnt have a football team when I was there.


Did you know that Kellan Moore is the only lefty QB in the game?


I heard that, that must really throw off the other team.  I am kind of surprised by the fact there is only one though.


Yeah, I think it may be due to setting the offense around a lefty.


Speaking of quarterbacks did you hear about Baker Mayfield?


Is is a quarterback at U of Oklahoma who almost quit football for gaming.


He says he is the best at Halo 3, and can beat anyone at the school in the game.


Yeah, that is pretty cool. I've never played it, have you?


No, I am more of a Mario Brothers person.


Interesting. Do you game now? I was looking at buying a system.


Nice. Did you know that in the 60s bowlers made twice as much as top football stars?


I heard that, that is pretty crazy.  But the real money is in Engineering.


Yeah, apparently. I studied engineering. Well, nice chatting with you!


did you know that Jupiter's storms can be picked up on our AM radio, crazy!


That is crazy!   I would like to hear some Jupter after some Dixie Chicks!


haha sure! I'd probably rather listen to that than the finnish radio station that plays news in classic latin, sounds boring!


Perhaps so.     Do you remember the names of any of the members of the Dixie Chicks?


no I don't I don't know anything about them, what about you?


I know they are Emily Strayer, Martie Maguire and one other.


do I take it you like country music? I guess the fender stratocaster was invented for country music apparently


I enjoy country music, and other styles from working class Americans.


well you can thank Henry Ford, apparently he financed country music to stop jazz music from becoming popular


That is funny.    Did you know Jeff Bezos of Amazon is cousins with country music hall of famer George Strait!


no I didn't know that, I do like amazon stufff, I guess african americans only make up 2 of the people in the country music hall of fame


Perhaps those two guys have enough cash to convince U2 to go country full time!


haha I think they should, that's crazy they wore a disguise to put on that show, I wonder if they are secretly amazing at country music


I wonder if there is a real Dalton Brothers from Galveston Texas - the name they used, or if it was just a completely made up name.


haha good question, do you follow politics at all? apparently trump wouldn't be one of the top 3 most wealthy presidents in a list


I read that.   JFK, Washington and Jefferson are the wealthiest, although probably not on an absolute basis.


right, I think it must be adjusted for inflation, trump should release a pop album like the president of Indonesia did haha


Well, I would like to visit the guest house, which is larger than the White House!


ya that is crazy, like why wouldn't the president always stay in the guest house then, do you know why the president of zimbabwe was nicknamed president banana?


I would guess it was probably just a nickname.    Did you know that in the early days the runner up for president became VP!


I did know that, what is wild is if we still had that rule, president trump and VP hillary, talk about drama!


Did you know that the planet Jupiter has radio storms that we can pick up from Earth? You can hear them on AM radio


I wonder if they play Jupiter music, LOL? Canada radio is forced to play 40% Canadian music.


haha, I wonder how you can make a radio out of a pencil and razorblade like they did in wwii, have you see that?


That's pretty creative. I guess you can use all kinds of things as an electrical conductor.


ya that is true, I guess they called them foxhole radios back then, that sounds like a useful skill if we had an apocalypse or something


I wonder if they were listening to "hillbilly music," which is what they called country music until the WW2 era.


ya I didn't know that, but hillbilly music sounds more interesting to me than the Finnish radio station that broadcasts everything in classic latin still haha


I can't imagine its very popular. There are also a website which has many of the old classic radio dramas. I wonder what's more popular today.


ya that sounds kind of boring haha, I actually have a fender stratocaster guitar, I didn't know that they were originally intended for making country music did you?


No, I think of the Fender Strat mostly as early Rock. Early country used acoustic and steel guitars and dobros.


do you listen to country music? thats the one genre I don't really like, I guess Henry Ford liked it


I like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, "outlaw" stuff. But I prefer Jazz, which Ford thought was decadent.


Ya he was worried about jazz music taking over, I guess he didn't have to worry about that after we've seen what actually happened haha


I hear there are only two African-Americans in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I suspect the Jazz HoF has more than that.


oh ya I would think so, I buy stuff on amazon and I didn't know George Strait is cousins with Jeff Bezos


I would never have guessed that. Bezos is the wealthiest man in the world, but Strait probably does all right for himself money wise. Country is pretty popular.


ya I think so, I don't think either is hurting for money, could you imagine U2 wearing wigs and costumes and playing country music in disguise at a concert, that's so funny to me


I wonder if anyone in the audience recognized them. Maybe they booed because they were playing Country music.


do you follow politics? I guess Trump wouldn't be considered one of the top 3 wealthiest presidents, it must be adjusted for inflation


I'm not sure we know how much money Trump has. I'm surprised FDR isn't in the top three. His family was super-rich, or so I thought.


yes I thought so too, also crazy is that the presidents guest house is larger than the white house itself


What's even crazier is the VP used to be the election loser. So today, that would mean Hillary as Trump's VP. Not sure that would work.


haha ya I don't know that would be a lot of drama, can you imagine a TV show based on that? I would watch it haha


Maybe she'd invite the Dixie Chicks to stay in that huge guest house.


haha, was she a big fan of the Dixie Chicks? I actually don't know, I know Trump would have Kanye West spend the night which would be cool


Are you a big fan of listening to the radio in the car?


I do, I like to listen to the radio what about you?


Yea i'm a big fan of the sports stations. Do you listen to podcasts?


I do, do you have any podcasts recommendations?


The joe rogan experience you can see some clips on youtube he will not only have you laughing with guests like theo von but you will also learn a lot when he has guests like elon musk on


Sounds interesting I have to watch that, sure sounds a lot more fun than that ventriloquist radio act in the 30s


That was when the radio was still new so that was probably ground breaking entertainment back then lol


It just doesnt make sense to have a ventriloquist act on the radio lol, seems a bit absurd to me


They probably thought as long as we see the puppets the listeners can use their imagination


Sorry I just dont see the logic behind that, do you know who Bill Murray is?


Yes he is a legend he was hilarious in both zombieland and in ghostbusters whats your favorite film he has acted in?


I liked his role in Groundhog Day and also Ghostbusters


He is a cultural icon when it comes to comedy films


I  agree do you know he also voice a famous superhero, he did it back in the 70s


Nope i never knew that which superhero was it


The Human Torch, part of the fantastic four, it was a radio show Im guessing it was really popular with a narrator like Murray


They need to remake the fantastic four movies because the last one wasn't too good


Yeah I agree, maybe there is a project for the future, that would be nice, I would like to see that,


One of my favorites genres, country music, what about you? any favorite genres?


Have you ever heard of wheeler walker jr I learned about him when he was a guest on joe rogan's show on youtube


I havent heard about him, what about the fender stratocaster guitar, do you like that one?


Tell me more about it I have never even heard of it


Its a guitar famours in rock, this guitar was first intended for country music, its one of the best musical instruments in the history of music, great sound.


That guitar probably makes the artist who plays it even better just because of the historic design


Could be, its a nice instrument only fit for the best,


Have an awesome day go look up the episode of joe rogan with dean delray on youtube they talk lots of music, Goodnight my friend


I will do that, sounds like a great acitvity for the night, good night to you to,


All the time. Do you know why the NY area code is 212?


Yes it was easy to dial in a rotary phone


No but if they get stuck together there is no separating them


Yeah. Did you know phone cables are only 2.7 inches wide?


Yes and they lie on the bottom of the ocean floor


DO you know how much computing power an iPhone has?


Yes more than the US icbm nuclear deterrent


Yes. Do you know who the three wealthiest are?


Yeah. DO you know the name of the first president of Zimbabwe?


I wonder if that means something else too in their language


Good point. Did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?


I guess they get a lot of people there and need it


Yeah I guess. The president of Indonesia is a pop star


And has released 3 albums already. Nice chatting with you


Same here and keep an eye on that pop star


ive learned some interesting facts i had no idea that nyc area 212 is because it was the quickest to dial have you learned anything new


NYC is a great city! Trump is from NYC. Leaders of most republics are referred to as presidents.


i believe what trump is doing is morally wrong


I don't know much about his morals, but he is highly educated. Not as much as Wilson though, who had a phd.


morals are important in a leader its important to be ethical its interesting to learn he isnt considered one of the richest presidents in history


that is surprising! he also did not have the popular vote. Only 5 presidents have done that.


i dont believe in the electoral college and the way trump and other presidents are put in office


i don't know enough to have an opinion. I am always impressed by those that speak foreign languages though. FDR was the most recent to speak something other than english.


as a country steeped deep in many cultures and languages you would think the ability to speak more than one language


Communication is of utmost importance. Cell phones have actually been around since the 30's. Surprising it took so long to be household tools.


cell phones have been around since 1930? please tell me more i had a rotary phone all the way up until 2004


They have! We have hedy lamarr to thank. She is also responsible for wifi and gps.


ill have to look that up i knew she had created the gps not a cell phone in 19303


Phones are almost as important as clothes. Good thing we don't put asbestos in them like the greeks did.


i am very curious to find out what apple musics clothing line looked like its amazing to see history and culture through clothing


People get creative with clothes. For example, wearing layers to the airport to avoid paying for luggage.


speaking of airports buying unclaimed baggage is like christmas sometimes and reselling is a great business


I did not know people do that! Most clothes are gender specific, so I imagine they sold as such.


theres many things that can be found in luggage beyond clothing but clothing can tell you alot about a person dont you agree


Absolutely! All the textiles available for clothing like skin or thin material give lots of variety for expression.


textiles are interesting especially the handmade woven materials from mexico


Good how are you? Do you know a lot about clothes?


I know very little. When you are 6'6, you don't have many clothing options so you put your energy other places. What about you?


I'm short so I have to find stuff in the kids section at times so I understand. I did read those that the Greeks made asbestos clothing.


Ouch... How knowledge changes perspectives... Pilgrims wore colorful clothes, who knew!


The asbestos clothing was as valuable as gold. I didnt know they wore colorful clothing


They only wore black for special occasions.


Wow history would make us think differently. Want to hear something funny. A man wore 70 pieces of clothing to avoid baggage claim


Was it Joey from Friends? There's a store in alabama that only sells items found in baggage claim.


Not sure. I bet that store makes good money doing that. People used to do their laundry in old faithful


HA! That's hilarious. Lose your grip and your clothes will go flying. Apple had a clothing line in 1986.


Thats funny. Do you use the phone a lot?


I do. Although I rarely use it as a phone.


Same here and I read there is almost no correlation to phone connection quality and bars of service.


That's nuts. Have we been told a lie all our lives?


Probably. In 1930 actress helped invent the cellphone


An iPhone has more computing power than a nuclear missile. Not sure I trust that missile anymore...


That's scary. Dolphins will talk to each other over the phone and know what dolphin they are talking to.


If you stay off your phone for a while, unicef will donate a day of clean water to children in need.


I need to do that more often. The inventor of the dial telephone was an undertaker.


hey did you know that Pilgrims actually wore colorful cloths?


That's surprising! I always imagined them in the traditional black and white clothing they are usually depicted in.


I know right! that black outfit was actually what they wore only fore special occasions


That's mentally changed a lot of images for the Pilgrims I have had. Now I'm afraid I'm thinking of them in clothes possibly too colorful.


how often do you wear clothes? I personally do every day and I want to wear a shirt from the clothing line Apple had back in the 80s


I also wear clothes daily, I think most people do. I would be interested in seeing what their 80's clothing line looked like.


ya me too, do you know the best way to check if clothes you bought are tailored btw?


I do not know that. Is there an easy tip or trick.


yup if you look for collar gaps in your clothes you will be able to tell if they were tailored or not


That's good to know. I don't think I own any tailored clothing outside of some business attire and suits.


ya I have tailored suits too, and apparently clothes can be made of animal skin, textiles, or other thin materials, all my clothes are just textiles


I think that all of my clothes are made of textiles or from animal products that aren't skin such as wool.\


would you buy the unclaimed luggage from an airport? like the clothes and stuff? apparently that is a thing now


I have seen a show that deals with people buying unclaimed luggage. I don't think I would invest the time or money in that myself. How about you?


no I would feel bad buying stuff other people lost! Plus I doubt you'd ever get anything really good in a bag


Yeah I would be surprised if the cool stuff they find on those shows wasn't planted. I doubt people with any valuables would let their bags go unfound.


right exactly, because if it were valuable then they would claim the luggage back! You'd have to be super lucky


I know I would spend as much time as it took to find my luggage if it went missing. I wouldn't want a stranger buying my dirty clothes.


do you still have a home phone or just a cell phone these days?


I technically have a home phone line because the cable company had a deal for the service but I do not keep one plugged in. I find that all the calls I would get are probably either spam or scams.


ya me too, whats scary is that our cell phones have more cpu power than the nuclear deterrent system of the USA


Yes but they also have a wider variety of functions than that system. It needs to be able to do a lot more than just monitor for missiles.


well theres that and the systems were probably built in the 80s and are pretty old, kind of like the cable that stretches across the atlantic, it carries phone and internet service


I guess if it isn't broke, don't fix it. It was fun chatting with you!


Have you heard about the caravan coming from Central America?


I heard a bit on the news about some caravan but don't know too much


I think it is so sad overall. The conditions they are facing in their home countries is sad.


That must be a shocker and difficult to not be with families


Many Mexicans are showering the migrants with gifts, clothes, and food. I know the migrants appreciated it.


I cannot imagine how difficult it is to have to only communicate to your parents by phone and not give them a hug.


Me either. Most are separated for years and some never get to see each other again because if they leave the United States, they may not get back in.


There also is not the family support available then because the families are separated.


Right! Children and even adults never stop needing their parents, so it has to be so hard!


Did you know that The telephone cables carrying phone in internet data lay on the ocean floor?


I read that earlier today in one of these hits


That is so interesting to me! I guess I never really thought about how the telephone and connection would work across oceans.


Me neither.  I don't know how they planned the depths and got it accomplished


Me either. It must have been very difficult to get to the very bottom of the ocean to lay the cables.


it is amazing though that it all started with telephone and progressed to internet under the ocean


It really is, then you have cellphones, like the iphone, that have more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.


Interesting as well that the president of indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office.  Almost like our actor president Reagan with talents.


That is really cool! I didn't know that Reagan was an actor until we were discussing him the other night at dinner!


Really.  i guess I knew because my dad watched him in movies.  But the wealthiest presidents were jfk, washington, and jefferson.  Who would have thought?


Yeah, I was shocked to find that out! That is interesting, I could see jfk having money, but not the other two!


Do you watch soccer? I usually only watch it during the world cup, but am too young to have seen the U.S. get 3rd place in the 1st world cup in 1930.


No I personally do not watch too much, but I know plenty of people that get excited for FIFA


Did you know that the american team has never placed below 3rd place since the 1st women's cup in 1991? With a stat like that I'm surprised it hasn't become more popular in the US


I didn't know that, sounds like they're pretty good!  I do know though that France is the current champion from the 2018 tournament.


True! It's crazy that there isn't an economic gain for the host country because there definitely is for the host city of the Superbowl!


That does seem odd to me, as I would also think they would have a nice economic gain.  I did hear they do not have a hose yet for the 2022 qatar world cup yet though.


While I like watching soccer, I enjoy football more!  Did you know the University of Iowa has a pink locker room for the visiting team? I wonder what the stats are on if that tactic works?


That sounds like an intimidation tactic!  It sounds like not too long ago top bowlers made more money than the top football stars of their day.


That's nuts because bowling isn't that popular!  I love the yellow line when watching football games, but I'm not sure it's worthy of an emmy for ESPN!


Yes the yellow line  helps to represent the first down for american football, but I can't see that being an Emmy also!


How would you feel if you were the team that lost in 1916 222-0?


If I was playing for Cumberland at the time, I would be beyond upset!  Especially if I was a senior and couldn't play Georgia Tech again!


I'm surprised the coach didn't tell his Georgia Tech players to lay off a little.  Someone who always did his best was Benjarvus Green-Ellis because he never fumbled in his entire career.


That's quite an accomplishment!  I wonder if he is in the NFL football hall of fame for that?


I'm not sure! I love watching football, but only on tv or live...never on a phone because the screen is too small. Do you use your phone a lot?


I do not use it either to watch on phone, but I am on it occasionally for social media platforms. I am not a fan of an Iphone though.


I love the iPhone. Did you know it has more computing power than the whole us nuclear icbm deterrent?


That is quite compelling to look more into the iPhone.  I am not from New York, but heard their area code of 212 was the fastest number to dial at the time of rotary phones.


That's cool to know! I think it's mindboggling that our data from our phones travels through wires on the ocean floor!


Yes that has to be some long cables!  I can't believe it would only be 2.7 inches diameter around.  I would expect something to be bigger since it has to travel quite far!


I completely agree. I have to go now, it was nice chatting with you!


Did you know the city that is set to host the 2022 Qatar World Cup still does not exist?


What?! I had no idea. I know that it was set for Qatar but I was assuming it was in an existing city.


Pretty crazy they don't even have the city yet. Did you know the Hungary national football team only had one defeat in 6 years and that was in the World Cup final.


I would not think of them as a top football team but I believe that was in the 50's so I missed that time.


I wouldn't think so either. The US got third place in the first ever World Cup back in 1930.


Oh wow. I did not know that. I did hear that the American team has not placed below third in the world cup since women's started.


I did not know that. Did you know there are no economic gains for the countries that host the Olympics or World Cup?


I knew that was true for the Olympics but not the World Cup. I knew the Olympics were actually an economic drain on the hosting city.


I did not know that actually. Do you know much about telephones?


New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.


That's very interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen a rotary phone.


Me too. I've actually never used one. Have you?


I feel like I have but I was very young. Did you know that the cables that carry our phone and internet data across oceans is only 2.7 inches around?!


Wow that's interesting. I'm surprised they don't get severed more often.


Me too. I also wonder how the salt does not corrode something that thin quickly.


I would think it would corrode everything too!


Did you also know that an iPhone has more computer power than the whole United States nuclear ICBM deterrent?!


Good morning! Are you a soccer fan? The world cup seems to be getting more popular here in the US.


I would be someone that likes soccer, could say it's in my blood.


Interesting! I did not know that a cowboy song is like a big deal at European soccer games?


The fans in soccer stadium like to sing songs, often they change the words, making fun of a player or team but to the same tune.


There are a lot of Sha la las in it so I guess it is like the stadium that always sings Sweet Caroline. The crowd gets into it.


That's it, just like that.  But like I said, they may alter the words, sometimes you'd not want your kids to hear them.


Ha! Did you know that Neil Sadaka and his partner originally wrote the song? It was something about the way to Pensicola and got changed to Amarillo.


I'm guessing they don't get many royalties from fans singing it in the stadium.


So true. As a soccer fan, did you know that the Hungary national soccer team only had one defeat between 1950 and 1956 and it was the world cup final?


Not that particular detail, but I did know they were very good in that period, could easily have won the FIFA world cup with a little luck


I just read that the US had a good team in 1930 and took 3rd place. Yikes we have not done so well the last 75 years!


Maybe they need an anthem of their own, they need to borrow a European little known song, and make it theirs.  Maybe an Elton John song?


That would be great.  I wonder which song though? He has so many good ones!


I understand the FIFA world cup will be in the US in 2026, that gives us some time to work on a song, I guess, more importantly, work on our soccer team.


If we don't get a team together it could be very embarassing! I read that the city hosting the 2022 world cup does not exist yet? qatar fifa?


There is controversy with it being there.  They have no history of soccer and it will be exceedingly hot for soccer.  There is talk that the paid bribes to get the FIFA World Cup there.


I can't imagine what they were thinking   Kind of like having the SuperBowl in Detroit in January!


Yep.  I guess money goes a long way.  FIFA has been investigate by US authorities and some of its recent officials have gone to jail.


I am sure that is why the press is always on the owners of football teams and they have a salary cap to keep things competitive.


Yes.  The FIFA World Cup is such a massive event, many countries want to host it to promote their nations, even if it makes the country no money.


I know anymore the whole world watches and seems a bigger deal than the Olympics!


It was good speaking to you, have a good day.


hi how are you? not particularly. they keep winning the super bowl. i would like other teams to win once in a while.


I think that the QB and the coach have a special bond. they seem to understand each other in a way that few do.


You are right. Do you know what the author of game of thrones called the patriots?


Oh, george martin? probably something from GoT?


He called them the lannisters of the nfl. Not sure what that means though.


the lannisters are the evil family that always schemes and wins through treachery. didnt the patriots coach get busted for cheating?


I am not sure if it was for cheating. Bill Belichick has the record for post season though.


he has won a high number of post season games. he and brady will be in the hall of fame, no doubt.


i wonder how many more years he is going to be in the game. brady must be approaching retirement.


Yes, he is already 41 which is old for football players.


it is old. i know that he has a special diet and probably keeps in great shape but the body gets old.


He is vegan, i believe. he eats avocado ice cream? it is a strange diet, but it works for him.


That sounds disgusting but he is very healthy.


he is married to a gal that makes twice as much money as he does. i guess he could retire without a problem.


I can not imagine how much money they must have saved.


I bet he could buy part of an NFL team. that would be a good retirement.


I am going to go see how much he makes. It was nice talking to you.


hello, yeah i watch football sometimes.  Do you?


I watch a lot of it.  Even the new AAL league.  Did you know that the NFL has no unwritten rule against female players?


Thats cool,  I have never seen a woman in the nfl lol


I wonder if we ever will?  The average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay!  Such a short time for a game that lasts 3 hours.


yeah seriously!  3 hours to get through 11 minutes, thats insane.


The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player and an average MLB player.  Probably due to the longer career and engineer has.


Yeah.  I hear the nfl uses tracking chips too.


Yes they put the chips in the players shoulder pads and footballs to record data.


Thats pretty cool.  Great way to track stats and stuff.


Yeah, he used to play for the 49ers for awhile,  I think he is on a different team now though.


Yes.  He broke his leg playing for the Redskins last season.  He is pretty smart as he graduated college in only 2 years with a bachelor's degree.


Ouch! Ugh thats terrible!  That is impressive though,  yeah I heard he took a lot of ap tests


No I am not.  I have heard a lot about them though.


They play at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. and are the current super bowl champs.


Nice.  George rr martin says the patriots are the lannister of football lol


yes!  lol  I find it interesting that there's only 1 left handed QB in the NFL - Kellan Moore.  It's been fun chatting!


It's ok. I usually only watch the Super Bowl unless someone in my family has a game on when I'm around.


But still, do you have a favorite team ?


I don't really but I guess I would have to go with the team in my town..the Buccaneers. Do you like the Patriots?


I like the fact they are a dynasty now, people will keep talking about them like the Dolphins in the 70s.


Yeah Brady and Belichick are killing those Super Bowl wins and it seems they either win or lose by only 3 or 4 points.


Belichick is a great coach, he is the coach with the most postseason win in history, they have to keep him coaching.


Yeah I don't feel like he's going anywhere. He even won when he was with the Cleveland Browns and in his first playoff as head coach.


How do you like football as entertainment ? I think there is too much breaks, there is only 11 minutes of live game play in a game.


That is so crazy! It seems to me like they go on FOREVER! LOL


Do you think they could improve it ? If the players play more they risk to have an injury.


I'm not sure how they could. They only play 16 games per regular season then playoffs.


That does not seem a lot, they don't even face all the teams in the league in a season. It seems strange to me.


I wonder if the tracking chips embedded in the players' shoulder pads help keep the players from risky plays since it tracks their moves?


Or maybe they should have women players, there is not rules against it. What do you think of it?


I don't have a problem with it but I don't know if there would be many willing to do it or coaches willing to draft them.


Yeah, the NFL seems retrograde in the ways they treat women, cheerleaders are forbidden to eat in the same restaurant that a player is eating in.


That is odd. I think its crazy that only 2 African American QB's have won the super bowl.


Maybe there is more racism with the coaches and the managers than we thought...


Or maybe African Americans tend to prefer other sports, like basketball. The Pats drafted the first German citizen into the NFL...Sebastian Vollmer. Guess some Germans like football too.


Well Europeans can be quite tall and strong, I am not surprised they drafted one.


They do pick winners so good for them. Nice chatting! Have a great day.


How's it going, do you like football? The Jaguars had a great defense last season


I'm not very familiar with the Jaguars. I'm a Cowboys fan, myself.


The Jags were 3-1 last season before going down hill after that


Oh no. Do they have a good Quarterback? Quarterbacks are a pretty important part of the team.


No, they're qb sucks, the starting qb of Brady's JV high school team is probably better than him


Well, Brady's high school football team was probably so bad because they wouldn't play him!


Yea it's pretty horrible to not even score a touchdown in a season


Can you believe Baker Mayfield was going to give up a football career to pursue professional gaming?


No that's insane he'd consider playing Halo 3 professionally instead of football


Yeah, like being able to beat all the kids on your campus is going to pay your bills.


I don't think playing video games would make much money, I mean engineers on average make more in a lifetime than a NFL player


Yeah, engineers make a lot of money, but I imagine that's because their career lasts much longer than an NFL player.


Yea it's insane how dangerous an nfl game is when it averages only 11 minutes of live gameplay


Nope, I'm a Giants fan, don't really like the Lannisters of the nfl


Yeah, I remember reading that George RR Martin called them that. Hilarious, and accurate.


It's pretty crazy how Bilichick has 21 post season win with the patriots and browns


And the Browns last playoff was when Belichick was their coach.


Yea it's ironic the Brown beat the patriots back in 1995


Yeah, and that was when Belichick was their coach.


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Hello there, I am, but my team didn't even make the playoffs this year so that sucked, how about you?


I am as well. My team made the playoffs and also recently won a Super Bowl so it's been a good couple of years for them.


Nice! I'm guessing maybe a Philly fan? I am a Packers fan, so it's been some years but was still nice winning one in 2010.


Yes I am an Eagles fan. We had a wild ride this season, I'm just happy we made the playoffs. The Super Bowl this year was a lot duller than Super Bowl 52.


Yeah it was, your team had one of the most exciting super bowls ever!  I was cheering for you for sure!


I think a lot of NFL fans were since we were playing the Patriots. Foles really made for a great feel-good story.


Yeah Foles played an amazing game, and one of the best plays of all time in a super bowl or any game. So much better than this years.


I do have to give credit to Brady and the Patriots as much as I don't care for them. Winning 6 Super Bowls is an amazing achievement.


Oh yeah same here, they will go down as the best franchise in NFL history, Belichick most likely best coach ever.  Have to respect it, don't have to like it.


Exactly. There's also a definite jealousy factor. I wish the early 2000s Eagles had been able to have been as dominant. We made the playoffs a lot but could never capitalize.


That is true, I remember those teams, McNabb had some really good years there.


Andy Reid and McNabb really made a good duo for us. Unfortunately they had to move on as it got a little stale in the end. I still find myself rooting for Andy in KC.


Yeah same here, I really wanted to see Reid and KC and their QB beat the Patriots and make the Super Bowl.


My ideal matchup would have been KC versus New Orleans. I would not have been upset if either of those two teams won. What a horrible call that was in the New Orleans game.
