Which probably did more damage in the end to himself. It would be awesome to see the Etemenanki building in person, since many think it's the referenced Tower of Babel


That would make sense. I could see places in the Bible having connection to places in the Middle East.


It does make sense. It's strange how the root for apple and evil come from the same word in Latin. That's probably why people assume that Eve ate an apple


True. Easy to get confused. On a different topic, do you follow the NFL?


I don't follow it too closely, but I heard Tom Brady released a book that has been dubbed the "athlete's bible"


That's interesting. A bible for athletes. I don't know much about the book or Brady.


I just know of him due to the Patriots and their constant winning. Do you follow any of the 32 teams in the NFL?


I usually follow around the playoffs, if at all. I don't have much time to watch. Do you have a chance?


We're in the same boat with the playoffs aspect. I can't keep up on 16 games in the regular season, but I can do a few games and the Super Bowl


The playoffs seem to have more energy. I figure it's the time to pay attention. An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay. I wonder what the total for the season is.


Considering that 32 teams play for 16 weeks not counting the single elimination playoff games including the wildcards...that's math I don't want to do


NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads to record a player's moves on the field. They are also located inside footballs to track: velocity, rotation, ball speed and location. I wonder how much data that generates per season.


If they're smart enough to create the chips, there must be systems in place to keep track of it all. Hopefully the engineers who came up with that are the ones making more than NFL players in their comparable lifetimes


I hope so too. We need engineers more than we need athletes if we're going to have a good society.


True! Although it is pretty cool that there isn't a rule that keeps women from playing. All they need to do it meet eligibility


I guess in the future we might see a woman. Anyway, great chat! Have a great evening!


I am well. I hope you are also!  Hey, do know anything about Tom Brady's new book, The TB12 Method?


Of sorts... He is best known as the long-time QB of the New England Patriots football team.  But he is often regarded as one of the greatest QBs the game has ever had. He is still going strong at 40 yrs old, and he has written a book explaining his approach to stay at the top of his game.


It sounds like an important book. Have you read it? I would like to hear more.


I have not read it yet, but I am very much interested i getting a copy.  I am not one of those New England Patriot fans that deify Brady and his coach, Belichick, or consider the Patriots my religion, but I do admire anyone that has performed at the top of their sport for so many years. 6 NFL Championships is incredible.


That is incredible. He is practically a deity. I guess he has earned his status in the heavens. The book is a holy tract.


I understand what idolatry is, and I do not approach that level of religious zeal.  I merely thing the phrase, "In Bill we trust" which is a mantra or creed spoken often in Boston is an earned sentiment.


That is good. It is important to remain humble and true. There is only one Bill and Tom, but there is a higher authority.


My wife... LOL  Thomas Jefferson may have created his own version of the Bible; but my wife would consider herself editor.


The bible did not need editing. I don't know what he was thinking. He must have spent too much time with the women he owned.


Nice. I agree on the lack of need for editing the bible. I was also jesting regarding my wife.  I find it sad that Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams chose to not use the bible at their inaugurations.


I think that Ted and John had another agenda, one not parallel to the one set in the Bible.


What is your thinking on the Apocrypha? Do you find any value to these works as complementary to the canonical bible?


The word is broad and varied and it is good to look in places that others have shunned. We do not know the complete Truth because it is hidden.


We see through a glass dimly... But I find it interesting every time archeologists find another site consistent with biblical texts. In fact, they think the tower of babel was based on a real building located in what is modern day Iraq. Interesting.


I think that is an interesting connection that help people recognize the value of the texts.


Yes, and likewise, the documented historic performance of Tom Brady in his long, record-setting career in the NFL helps people to recognize the value of his writings.


I think that his fame and notoriety can only help spread what must be a valuable insight in the human condition.


And it helps to sell books. Although Brady does not seemed strapped for cash... The average NFL player does not earn as much in a career as an average engineer, but Brady is an exception


Brady is an exception that the engineers envy. Thank you for the chat. Good night.


Good night and may the ball always roll your way!


Are you a Tom Brady fan, he plays for the patriots?


I cant say that I am, but I respect his talent.


Yeah apparently his work ethic is off the charts. He does however claim that football has become his religion.


I heard about the TB12, and the In Bill We Trust that a lot of fans follow.


I know what happen to just plain old talent and sportsmanship. One quote said that Brady was kind of a Messiah figure. If it's not blasphemy, it's too close to it!


I know!  People idolize him.  I dont hear too much negative about him, he seems to toe the line in terms of his behavior.  But he is no Messiah.


Right! Hey did you know that top bowlers in the 60's made more than top nfl players?


That is crazy.  I wonder how much that was at that time.  Now they are sure overpaid.


Personally i think most sports players are over paid. That money could be taxed to pay for healthcare.


I agree.  Especially for only 11 minutes of live game play each week]


I know that's crazy to think about. I didn't know that espn won an Emmy award.


Neither did I, and all for that yellow line.  I thought it would take a little more than that to win an Emmy, but Im not the judge.


I know but i have to say that line made life a little easier. A former patriots RB never fumbled the ball in his entire career.


He is probably responsible for the huge successes that the Patriots have had recently.


Maybe in some way. Did you know there was a college game were the score was 220-0?


I had heard that, Georgia Tech and Cumberland.


Wow that's crazy i can not imagine even sitting through that game let alone playing in it. You know there no rule that says women can't play in the nfl?


Yeah, they say as long as they can meet the eligibility requirements they are allowed to.  Whatever those are.  I dont think Id want to play in the NFL, I dont want to be crushed by a lineman.


Right if they do it i think they should create a league like the WNBA.


That would be interesting to watch.  I hope if a female did make it to the NFL they would treat her better than the cheerleaders.


I think they should have all male cheerleaders for the WNFL! what do you think?


I like it!  There are a few for the NFL now, but an all male squad would be great!  It has been nice chatting but I must go.  Have a good day!


Hi, do you know anything about the New England Patriots and Tom Brady?


I know that Tom Brady has a best selling book called "The TB12 Method", have you heard of it or read it?


No, but I heard it is an inspiration to us all. Did you know that Brady's coach, Beneke worries about the devotion to the Patriots might overshadow other kinds of faith in some people?


What? because there are so many fans of the Patriots?


No, because on Sundays in New England people are devoted to watching the Patriots and talking about the team even in church.


Oh! Wow, even when there's only eleven minutes of live gameplay, there's so much chatter nonstop around the game! I also devote an entire Sunday to watching the games! Do you watch the games


No, not on TV but I heard that some Patriots try to keep their focus on faith in God rather than on the team on Sundays.


That's good! I wonder if those people wished that reading the bible was part of the education curriculum like prior to 1960s


That could be.  The Patriots do have a number of spiritual players like Matthew Slater who's known for his off-field evangelism. Slater and other Patriots will be featured in Football Sunday, a national church-based event on Super Bowl Sunday.


Oh I didn't know that. I wonder if there will be as many people tuned in compared to how many copies there has been sold of the bible, a whopping 5 billion copies!


Probably not that many since the 5 billion copy estimate has to do with from the beginning of it's printing, ha, ha. Besides that, another Patriots fan and the pastor of Richmond Community Church in Glen Allen, Va. say that there are faith lessons in Brady's examples he uses in his book.


Oh ok, yeah five billion copies is a LOT! Do you know what type of faith lessons there are?


Well, according to McDaniel, Brady's commitment to his craft allowed him to overcome the odds. Brady's career began as a sixth-round draft pick and now is arguably the best at his craft.


His story is really worth a read, I wonder if they depict that in the documentary "Tom vs. Time", have you seen it?


No,I haven't seen it yet but that will probably be the main focus I would think.  Brady coming up from the bottom to the top. Actually, he's shown the ability to rebound from adversity quite nicely.


Yeah my friend has seen it and he told me it changed his perspective on the guy. He's actually a very hard-working nice guy and really puts in a lot of hard work to the game, the team, and his fans. I wonder if they will get an Emmy like what ESPN won for the yellow line used in football games.


That might happen or even better things.  Remember last year when the Patriots were down 28 to 3 in the Super Bowl and then they came back to win the game in overtime. That was spectacular.


Oh my, that was such a great game! I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time, I wonder if that's why I was so disappointed in this year's game. I think people who placed bets on the game would've preferred the boring game though.


Yes, that's probably true, save the blood pressure and all that. But really, Brady is a great example of what you can do if you're really committed. It seems that Brady is totally committed to his TB12 Method and he is really sincere.


Yeah, that's the message I'm getting as well. Do you know what the 12 stands for in the TB12?


It would think it means 12 methods like the title shows because he's talking about a number of areas. In addition to spiritual beliefs, he's talking about good nutrition, fitness, and list of other attributes to maintain his lifestyle.


I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I respect him as one of the greats. He's in such great health to be in the league as long as he has been.


I agree.  I didn't like him until I watched his documentary Tom vs Time.  I became a big fan after watching that.  It shows how much work he puts into his craft.


I've heard of the documentary but have never watched it. I liked watching the Patriots when Benjarvus Green-Ellis played for him. He was a solid running back and actually has never fumbled the football in his NFL career!


That's incredible!  Did you know they put tracking chips in the footballs to track the data such as velocity, etc. on them?


I did not know that. That's probably why players get fined so much for throwing them into that stands. I heard that they also have tracking chips embedded in the players shoulder pads to record they're every move.


Crazy how the game has come along technology wise.  I wish the actual gameplay was longer though.  There's only 11 minutes of actual gameplay in  an average NFL game.


I know, that seems so short. It's 2 hours and 49 minutes of crap. They should get some women to play, they could make gameplay last longer. I mean there's no rules against them playing.


I agree!  The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average NFL and MBL players.  That's surprising.


It is pretty surprising, but I guess you have to consider that most engineers work well into their 60s or even 70s. The average football player only plays for 3 years.


True.  I wonder if other people outside of the U.S. get confused when they hear football since that's the word they use to call soccer.


I think a lot do. It just feels weird having to specify. Although Gridiron Football has a nice ring to it.


Yes it does.  In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as the top football stars of that era.  Things have changed since then.


Yeah they have. That's weird to think. Did you know that Iowa's visiting locker room is completely painted pink. I wonder how many times that has backfired on them?


LOL.  Maybe they did it to support breast cancer awareness?


That would be a good excuse. I heard that ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow first down line, that was an Emmy well won.


Interesting!  The highest score ever in a football games was in 1916 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0!


That's crazy, I wonder if that's when Georgia Tech learned the triple option and it's effectiveness.


Not sure!  How many teams are there in the NFL?


Thanks!  I wasn't sure.  Nice chatting with you today!


It was nice chatting with you too. Have a great day!


Yes I do. I enjoyed the superbowl, and watching Brady and company winn their sixth NFL champioship


Yes me too, I like that. Did you know Brady has written a book now as well?


Yes and that is also his lifestyle brand And there seems to be a documentary in the works, Tom vs Time


Yes that one. Do you know what his favorite ice cream flavour is, as a fun fact?


I don't. Some kind of vegan something I imagine?


I am not sure about it being vegan but the flavor is avocado, still pretty healthy


Nice. I understand that he is on a spiritual quest of some sort, as he dedicates himself to his craft.


Yes it seems that way. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yeah, I guess there is no rule against them, but they still have to meet eligibility requirements.


You never know I guess, time will tell. Did you hear about them using tracking chips on the players while in the field?


I knew they track he balls, but they track players too?


Yes it is in their shoulder pads and they are tracking stuff like velocity and rotation and such


Seems like a lot of expense for a game where the average playtime is only 11 minutes per game.


Yeah it sure does. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I do, although I have more knowledge of the New Testament, less of the Old, and even less of the Apocrypha. You?


Oh I see. I do not know much but just some facts. I know that it is one of the most influential books in history and sold 5 billion copies so far


It used to be common for school children to read from the bible. These days, lawsuits have curbed that.


Yes that is true. It seems Jefferson created his own version of the Bible.


Do you have knowledge of how Tom Brady eats, exercises and rests?


I do not. I would imagine that he has a pretty intense regimen.


There was a TV special that claims that football is his religion and so he lives every day to be able to continue to play a long time.  He is now 40.


I expect that he will retire in the next few years then. I heard that he wrote a book called The TB12 Method. Have you heard of it?


Yes.  I have.  Of course his wife is into the healthy eating lifestyle too.  Deepak Chopra did the TV series.  I don't know enough about him to feel positive or negative, but I lean negative.


I do too. Mostly because of the cheating. Are you a football fan?


I really follow college football,  I went to Oklahoma and follow that team.  I love the yellow line that ESPN invented to show the line to gain for a first down.


I heard they won an Emmy for that. Can you imagine watching a game without that line?


Not anymore.  Globally, a lot of different games are considered to be football.


That is true. I'm referring to American football in this case. Do you know what the highest score in a football game ever was?


Well, my JV team was beaten by another varsity team by 74-0, and Oklahoma beat Texas A & M 77-0 once.


Wow! Those are extremely high scoring games. The highest ever was in 1916 and it was 222-0! How is that even possible?


I cannot imagine.  In the two games I mentioned, they did not stop the clock in the second half to shorten the game.  Have you heard that the Iowa visitor's dressing room is painted pink.


I did not. Is that supposed to be some kind of psychological game?


There have been studies that prove that weight lifters cannot lift as much in a pink room.  So it is another move to win games.


Wow! I have never heard of that. Very interesting. Do you remember the Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?


Yes he never fumbled a football his entire career!


That is a distinction!  There are 32 teams in the NFL so it is amazing to have that distinction.


I agree. Did you also know that in the 60's top bowlers made more than top football players?


The NFL has done a great job of marketing to increase their incomes.  There are 54 players on each team and 32 teams, so now over 1500 people probably make more than the top bowlers. Nice chat.


Can't say that I am, I know of him and what he does, but that is about it.


He has a book out called "Athlete's Bible".  Many are making comments about it being spiritually involved.


It seems difficult to equate spirituality with football.  They seem opposite to me.


It's mainly the fans that see Brady as a messiah and coach Belichick as some kind of deity.  The say "in Bill we trust".


I know some people take it too far.  When you have fans it's amazing what you can sell to them.  If Mr Brady sold avocado ice cream with his face on the front they'd think it was the best flavor ever.


That doesn't sound good.  Bob Ryan, a former columnist, said that it was "cult-like".


Some celebrities believe that just because they are good at one thing, in this case football, it makes they experts on everything, and they want to tell us how to behave.


I agree, that is annoying. I mainly like college football.  My alma mater ran up the score on Cumberland 222-0 in 1916.  Not terribly proud of that...


If I were on the losing side I think I would have given up playing.  Maybe they could have turned to the bible.


Maybe.  At least Cumberland probably didn't have a pink locker room like that of U. of Iowa.  In 1916, they probably didn't have a locker room at all.


I don't think they went in for those silly games back then, probably more respectful to the other team.


Probably... Did you know the NFL had no written rule that women can't play?


They probably think they don't need it.  Some guys get worked up if they hear a woman is going to take part in something, but if they are good enough and want to do it let them.


I agree.  It's not that big of a deal.  Here's another interesting football fact, there are only 11 actual minutes of gameplay in an average NFL game.


I never really enjoyed watching football.  I think that might be the main reason, I don't have time to sit in front of the TV for three hours for just 11 minutes of play.


I like documentaries.  I would like to see one about finding the Tower of Babel in Iraq.


My mental image of that is a very tall building, if it existed it was probably a lot smaller than I'm thinking.


It's probably a bunch of rubble due to recent bombings.  It's interesting that Thomas Jefferson cut out the parts in his Bibel that referred to the "supernatural" (e.g., miracles).


I've heard that before.  I'd love to see a copy, must just have looked like a shredded book.  Funny thing to do.


Yeah, I'd like to hear more about his reasoning.  Thanks for the chat.  You were excellent.


Hard to believe that the Patriots just won the Super Bowl again. I wonder how Tom Brady is still so good given his age.


Good morning, I love Tom Brady, he's like the energizer bunny, he just keeps going and going and going...Lol  Didn't realize he was so spiritual, did you?


I thought football was his religion. At least that's what his friend Gotham Chopra says.


Well, he said in a version of the spiritual episeode, that he does want to know why we're here, where we're going, trying to find that deeper purpose.  That's pretty spiritual to me.


I guess you're right. Have you read Tom's book "The TB12 Method"?


Yeah I have. It's very interesting stuff. Not sure how he can enjoy avocado ice cream though. I find it kind of gross.


OOh, that sounds so gross! Do you watch much football?


I watch it most weekends. I prefer the NFL to college football or any other league.


I was shocked to find out that an average NFL game, only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


They do keep the time running while the teams are setting up & calling a new play a lot so I guess it's not too surprising. They still earn a lot of money for the little work they do.


How true.  I read somewhere that the top bowlers in the 1960s made twice as much as the top football stars.


That shows how quickly things can change. Most pro football players don't have long careers. I wonder how much they make compared to other professions over their lifetime.


Well, I also read that average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an average NFL player.


That's pretty interesting. Do you read the bible much or are you not religious?


I try to read a little every night before bed.  A habit my grandma taught me when I was a kid.  Do you?


I read it occasionally. In the 60's it was pretty common for students to be required to read it. How things change.


Yes, I think if we went back to that practice, alot of things would def be different in America.


Maybe you're right. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible?


Yeah, I heard he took a razor and cut out the parts he considered "supernatural".


That's quite an interesting change to make. It was a pleasure talking to you. Have a great day!


I don't know much about the sports. Do you like the sports?


I know that passing is used a lot in football. In this you are an expert?


I wouldn't say expert but I have a basic understanding


Ok. That is good. I think that many peoples in the US like the football. It is a popular game.


It is surprising how much people invest into it considering each game is only a dozen or so minutes of real action.


They like the action and the violence. It is exciting to see men in combat to the death. The outcomes are wagered as well I think.


True. It is probably due to injuries that force early retirement that based on average lifetime earnings, engineers get better paid than players.


Engineers must be very smart, maybe some of the most smart people. They earn the money for being smart. I think it is better for life.


At least football players are better paid than bowlers like in the mid 1900s


Bowlers do not have the same job risks. I think they should be paid less.


That is good. Is the bible an important part of the football game?


Are you referring to the actual bible or the book released by brady?


I mean the one that everyone has in their bedroom.


Well I think that it may be since the mental fortitude that comes from religion can be an important factor of a players performance


I understand. In all life, the strength of the inside helps with the outside.


Indeed. Even if you are physically read, if you aren't mentally, that can make all the difference


That is true. The preparation for the football must start inside, then make its way to the outside for the world. Thank you for the chatting. It is a good night.


yes I do, what do you think of Tom Brady?


I think he is a pretty decent player. So was the former QB for Patriots, Benjarvus


I think considering how many super bowl rings Brady had he is better than decent.


Yeah that is true. Benjarvus on the other hand is the only guy in NFL to have never fumbled a ball.


That is impressive do you know how many games he played in?


I am not sure but over his entire career, that must have been quite a few games there.


That is impressive, did you know that the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live play time?


Yeah and yet we are glued to the tv for hours to watch a single game


That is the amazing part, interesting that they complain about how little action there is in baseball.


Yeah exactly. Did you hear about them placing tracking ships in the players now?


I was reading about that, I wonder if they do that during the game or only practice.


I bet you they do it for both. They need to track lots of stats like velocity and rotation and such and they will likely need the averages of those


We live in amazing times. I can see where that would be useful. If a running back is getting tire during the game they know right away


Yeah we sure do. Did you know women can play too in the NFL?


I have read about a couple but overall I just don't think it's a good idea.


I would be curious to see that happen. I guess time will tell. Did you know about that weird rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?


No, I hadn't heard about that, please tell me.


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


No kidding. I guess may be they don't want them to get too close or something.


Maybe but still, the worst is that they have to leave the restaurant mid meal if the players walk in


It seems like that's carrying it a little too far.


It is not fair at all.  I hope they get rid of it soon.


Hello, do you like avocado ice cream? Evidently, it's one of the weird things Tom Brady likes.


Er... dunno, never really tried it.  I'd be willing to give it a spoonful even though it doesn't sound too appealing.  LOL.  Yeah, Tom Brady's an interesting character.  I was reading somewhere he consider football to be his religion.  I knew some guy in Texas that were like that!


Weird. Maybe he should get a copy of Thomas Jefferson's bible, and give it a read.


Maybe, although I dunno if there's anything about football in TJ's bible.. hehe.  "Thou shall not fumble!"


Surely someone checked those trackers in his footballs for the proper inflation..


Yeah, I heard about that.. they also keep track of where they're going and how fast and stufff.  I guess they need all that to compile accurate play stats. Plus they put them in players' shoulder pads to track their movements as well.


Do they have them on the cheerleaders as well? So they know which restaurant they are in?


That I couldn't tell ya.  I'd hope not, as that would be a bit creepy, IMHO.


How else are they going to know that a cheerleader is at a restaurant, one of the players are at?


No idea.  Hey did you know the visitors locker room at U of Iowa is painted PINK?  I think that's their way of trying to 'Psyche out" the other team...


That may have worked decades ago. These days, I don't think the players care. They probably find it soothing. Maybe Cumberland would have benefited from a soothing, pink locker room when they lost 222-0.


Dunno... they did an experiment where they found that weight lifters couldn't life as much when placed in a pink room.  But, that was like twenty years ago, so maybe the effect has worn off on people's minds.   Wow, that's quite a loss!  Makes you wonder if they were even trying!


With scores like that, I can see why bowlers in the 60's made more than football players.


Do you think a woman could be a football player?  There's actually NO rules in the NFL against it, so long as they meet the physical requirements...


Why not? Many highschools have female kickers. As long as the eligibility requirements are met, they should have a chance.


Dunno, if my daughter were playing football, I'd constantly worry about her getting tackled!  But yeah, I see what you're saying there.


There are co-ed teams in my county. The girls are way tougher on the field than the boys are. I wouldn't want mine to be a cheerleader, especially not for the Saints.


Oh, really?  Which country is that, if you dont mind me asking?


County!  Sorry, misread that!  LOL.  Here's something interesting, for as long as they games last, there's only actually about 11 minutes of actual gameplay.  That means they spend a lot of time just getting into position and stuff... weird, huh?


not as weird as espn winning an emmy for superimposing a yellow line.


Oh, yeah, think I read about that somewhere.  I remember back when all they had were the white "chalk" lines and Joe Montana doing commentary...  "And then he runs to here, passes the ball, here!"  hehe


That sounds bizarre. Is that where the term "gridiron" football comes from?


That I could not tell you.  I'd have to Google it!  Although it does make it sound tough, doesn't it?  The GRIDIRON!!


I honestly could care less, as I would take an engineer over a baller anyday. They make more money, lol


Yeah, but does that include all the money you get from sweet endorsement deals?  :)


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


Stay safe!  Weather's been kind of crazy in some areas!


It sure has. Thankfully, we aren't in TN where there is flooding.


The NFL? The National Football League? Is that still a thing?


Yeah the NFL. Do you know how many teams are there?


More than a dozen, I'm sure. I thought most of them went bankrupt during the Great Recession. Huh. I guess I was wrong. How many are there?


32 seems a bit excessive. Are they planning on eliminating a couple? Seems only fair. People ought to be doing things on a Sunday.


Well, we can watch if we want and if not we go do other things I guess. Do you know what the highest score is in football?


The highest possible score in football would be infinity, I guess. How high does the scoreboard go? Maybe that's the limit.


Well, the highest one recorded was 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat the CUmberland


The scoreboard must have gone up to 999 then. That's a great score! Georgia Teck must have been proud of themselves. Did the other school just quit football out of despair? They should have.


No I do not think they did, maybe it was not their day that day. Do you ever watch ESPN?


Is that the Spanish football channel? No, I don't.


It is an american one and they won an award once for creating the superimposed yellow line


They got an award for discovering a yellow line? The line was discovered by the ancient Greakes. It might not have been yellow, but why does the color matter?


Well it is more visible on the tv screen and does not blend with the background so you can follow the game better


Oh, so ESPN (not the Spanish one) got an award for the yellowness. I see. They discovered that yellow is easier to see on the TV. What else did ESPN discover? Oxygen?


Nope just the yellow line. Did you know women can play in the NFL if they choose to?


Women could many things if they chose to. I figure one day, a player is going to take off his helmet, and presto, it was a woman all along.


Well maybe, and why not, maybe it even makes the game more interesting. Did you hear about that rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?


The cheerleaders have rules? I thought they just cheered.


Well those one cannot eat in the same restaurant at the football players. Pretty sad rule.


hey there how often do you read the bible, if at alll?


Hello, How are you, yes I do. How about you?


ya I'm good, how often do you read it? i'ts cool that jefferson actually made his own version of the bible


That's interesting, or that Teddy Roosevelt and John Adams did not use it at their swearing in ceremonies.


no that is weird, they're the only ones who didn't use it either, why do you think jefferson took out all the supernatural parts?


Have no idea, never knew that! What do you think?


ya I don't know maybe he wanted a more historical version of just verified facts or something, did you learn about the bible in elementary schoo?


Yes, I did and at home. Do you like football?


ya I like it, i really like tom brady have you read his new book The TB12 Method?


No, But have heard of it, have you? Any good? Didn't realize the average NFL live game play is only 11 minutes.


I haven't, it has good reviews though, and ya that is so short! crazy that a team scored 222-0 in that much time haha


That seems too long, but then again it was 1916.


Yeah I wish they had that on video, would you watch football games with women players?


I don't know, I probably would check it out, for the sake of the game. Not sure I would enjoy as much. I think its too rough for women. But should be allowed to play.


Yeah I don't know how that would go, but they should be allowed if they are good enough, I'm an engineer and I guess I make more in my lifetime than an average NFL player makes, cool!


lol, really. Oh yeah, the average lifetime earning is higher than the average NFL player!


yup good to know haha, do you like the Saints? I don't like how they treat their cheer leaders


I know, that is crazy. At least have some kind of plan before hand so they aren't in the same restaurant. Guess they think its too much togetherness. lol


Yeah, maybe it was cheerleaders that painted that one locker room pink as protest haha.


Yes, that could be! What a joke! Thinking those tracking chips help a lot! Good chat!!


ya I hope so! I should have used my bowling skills in the 60's to make 2x as much as football players back then


Hi there, he is one of my favorite players. Do you know the former QB of Patriots, Benjarvus?


I remember him.  I don't think he ever fumbled during his career.


Yeah, what a talent. Do you know why U of Iowan painted their visitor locker room pink?


Maybe to support breast cancer awareness?


Maybe, I am not sure. Do you watch the ESPN much?


I do.  They once won an emmy for creating the superimposed yellow line that represented the first down line.


Yeah pretty cool to get an award for that. Do you know what the highest score in football history during a game is?


It was Georgia tech who scored 222 against Cumberland 0


Holy smokes!  I bet that was a long game for Cumberland.  In the 1960's bowlers made twice as much as the top football stars.


How times have changed. But even now, engineers still make more over their lifetime


Probably because they have longer careers.  Did you know there are 32 teams in the NFL?


Yeah I think that would explain it. Yup all 32 of them and they play for 17 weeks.


There is an average of only 11 minutes of actual gameplay during a game.  Crazy.


That is crazy, so short. Did you know women can play too?


I think there's no written rule that is against having female players.  Did you know that they use tracking chips inside of the footballs to collect data like velocity, rotation, etc. on them?


Yeah and I hope they can use those data somehow to make the game safer and reduce the number of concussions


Yes.  I agree.  Did you know the Bible is the highest selling book of all time with over 5 billion copies sold?


Wow that is a lot of books but I cannot say that I am surprised, a lot of people believe in it.


Do you think sports can bring people of different opinions and religion together?


I think it can be a source of a common ground


its interesting that some people see sports as religion. with all the similarities of rules and rituals etc


I can see that people would have to be as dedicated to their sport as a religion to be successful


i think there are some patriot fans that are more serious about Tom Brady than they are their Catholicism foot ball is no jooke! espn has even managed to win an emmy for their superimposed lines that changed football.


I like the patriots they are like the lannisters of football


that is a funny comparison. the NFL sure has enough strict rules to be the lannisters. especially with their cheer leaders...the saints cheerleaders arent even allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the players


It seems like of backwards to still do it today


yeah it is. but i guess thats how it goes. they also chip the players on the field to track time. thats wild.


i never even considered that. technology sure has changed sports. i wonder if other countries are into their sports like that too.


I know that they are using cameras that can slow down images to get a more accurate judgement on sports


for the 11 minutes of actual game play in a foot ball game... hilarious


Well you have to admit there sure is a lot of action packed into those dozen or so minutes


yeah absolutely are you interested in presidents? teddy roosevelt was pretty gnarly.


well he survived an assassination attempt and was one of the only prezzys not to use a bible at the swear in ceremony. the ultimate separation of church and state. John Quincy adams didnt either.


do you particularly like any presidents? I like Abe lincoln a lot and controversially so, LBJ.


idk about roosevelt but i know washington and jfk are considered among the wealthiest presidents.


I like washington since he was the only person in history to unite both parities


Exactly, now the two party system seems to argue over critical issues just for the sake of arguing


it was nice chatting. have a great night!


Yes. DO you have a favorite team or player?


No, I don't have a favorite team or player. Perhaps the team that could win me the money. LOL


Hahaha, I personally like the Patriots and Brady. Did you know he is a book author as well now?


The Brady is an author? What book did he write?


Yeah he wrote the book "Athletes' Bible" which he credits with helping him keep at the top of the game


Would this bible help people like me, the non athlete, the antiathlete?


I have no idea. I would like that too. Did you know women can play  in the NFL too?


I guess that would be cool. A team full of women. Pink and purple, roses and lace.


Might be interesting. Bowlers apparently made more than football players in the 60s


That was the culture then. People loved bowling. Oh, I was born at the wrong time.


Yeah it seems it was the case back then. DO you know what the highest score in college football is?


The highest score means little to me unless I could win money. What was it though?


It was 222-0, that is why it went down in history


I feel sorry for the team that won. They looked like the worst bullies.


Maybe Cumberland was just having a bad day. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


Cumberland probably was having a bad year. ESPN won an award for that line, right? I think that was a bit silly.


Yeah but it sure made out lives easier with that line. Did you hear they are using tracking chips on the players now in the field?


The players need to be watched carefully. I figure it could help prevent injury.


Yeah I hope that they can use the stats for that. Did you hear about that ridiculous rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?


The cheerleaders get treated so badly. It's really not right. Well, I enjoyed the chat! Have a good day!


Yes I hope they get rid of that rule soon. Have a good one.


Good afternoon!  Are you a fan of Tom Brady?  It's amazing he is still going strong even into his 40s!


I think he's undeniably a great QB but I have a lot of problems with him.


There are certainly some things I question.  What are your main issues?  Do you have any concerns with his TB12 Method?


Mainly the cheating. Especially when I feel like he never had to do that. Is the TB12 Method the book he wrote?


Yes.  I guess it is sort of considered a bible for athletes.  I guess to each their own, but there are some less than mainstream beliefs he has.


I have not read it but that's the vibe I was getting about it also. Like a self-help type book.


I think some people think he pushes the spiritual a little too much. A noted Boston reporter name Bob Ryan thinks the book is "creepy" and equated it to being "cultlike."


Oh wow. Yeah that would not be for me. Are you a football fan?


I really am a big fan and it's one of my favorite sports.  You?


I am a fan. Did you know that ESPN won an Emmy for inventing the yellow line that marks the first down? Can you imagine watching a game without that?


Not sure I could picture a game without it.  There are times I forget that it's superimposed on the screen and wonder why the player doesn't see it when they don't make a first down.


Ha ha, me too. Do you remember the Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis?


Vaguely.  The Patriots do some amazing thing with RBs that haven't done anything huge in the league.  What is special about him?


He never fumbled a football his entire career!


Whoa!  That is pretty special.  I'm surprised he didn't have a bigger career.  Speaking of careers, could you imagine a time when a pro bowler would make more than a football star?


I cannot imagine that at all. I didn't know there was ever a time when that happened. I remember it being on TV randomly when I was little but not for a long time.


The 1960s were obviously a different time.  Within a decade, football was probably supplanting baseball and left the pro bowlers in the dust.


Good point. Any idea what the highest score in football ever was?


I seem to recall it happened way back in like the second decade of the 1900s and involved Georgia Tech, but can't place the score or opposition..


It was against Cumberland. The score was 222-0. How is that even possible?!


Wow!  I think the most I have heard about were scores in the 80s or maybe even 90s, but that wouldn't even reach half of that score.


No. It seems like they would have had to have been scoring the entire time.


Hello! Do you like football or Tom Brady? I love football, but not a fan of Brady or his TB12 Method book.


I do enjoy football. I haven't looked too much into the TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible he uses to stay in top shape at 40 years old though.


I feel like because he does so well at his older age for football that he is kind of conceited, so much so that the documentary about him relates him to the messiah.


I completely agree with you there. I appreciate the more humble athletes like Benjarvus Green-Ellis who's never fumbled the football in his entire pro career, ya know?


I completely agree. I think ESPN was humble too when they won an Emmy for their yellow line because I hadn't heard about that until recently.


Agreed. It was so innovative - almost as innovative as the chips they plant in the shoulder pads to record the players' every move. It's like what will they think of next? Ha!


I know! I wonder if they will ever use the chips they have in footballs to decide if a touchdown is valid instead of using replay.


That is a good point. I mean, they can already track location, velocity, speed and rotation, so why not touchdowns as well?


Maybe they can even see how long games are since they think only about 11 minutes are live gameplay!


No kidding, right? I mean, these engineers already make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players, so they should step their game up... even though they are doing a phenomenal job now.


That stat actually surprises me with how much football players work! Did you know that in the 60s even top bowlers made more than football players?!


I wasn't aware of that, actually. That's sad and unfair - almost as bad as the Saints cheerleaders not being allowed to dine in the same restaurant as the football players.


That's terrible, especially since the cheerleaders need to leave even if they were there first. Talk about no womens rights?


I know. I'm so surprised no lawsuits have been filed yet over that nonsense. I'm also surprised we haven't had a female player drafted yet considering there's no rules forbidding females from playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements!


Me too! I wonder if the University of Iowa has ever gotten in trouble for having their visiting locker room painted pink.  Wonder if that tactic works?


Ha! Maybe Cumberland should have been placed in a pink lockerroom when Georgia Tech set the highest score record on them by beating them 222-0. Sounds like they needed some sort of motivation!


I'm surprised Georgia Tech didn't just stop trying! How do you feel about players praying after the game? Did you know Jefferson made his own version of the Bible?


I did, actually. In fact, I heard he cut out all the supernatural parts of it with a razor. Do you think they called it the "King Jefferson" version? Ha!


Crazy! And Roosevelt and Adams are the only two presidents who didn't use one at their swearing in!


That is interesting. I also found it interesting that up until the early 1960s, It was a common requirement for kids to read the Bible in school for their elementary education. That really surprised me!


Very interesting! Nice chatting with you!


The NFL? The National Football League? I've heard of it. Is that still around?


Yeah of course it is a big deal nowadays. Much bigger than in the 60 when Bowling was a bigger sport


Bowling was a big sport because people did it so much. On the weekends they would bowl for social purposes. Many people found spouses and lost children that way.


I guess so. Did you know the U of Iowa locker room for visitors is painted pink?


Is that meant to do something to the players' psychology or something? I don't think that would work. It might make them donate to breast cancer research.


I know so not sure what they are trying to achieve with that. Do you know what the highest score in football history is?


The highest score is probably higher than most players' IQ. Was that when the Patriots played the Browns?


Actually it was Georgia Tech against Cumberland, they beat them 222-0


Hm. I figured that Tom Brady gave a biblical whooping to the Browns. Oh well. 222-0? Did Cumberland play with their cheerleaders or what?


Hahah good point, I have no idea but what a defeat. Do you ever watch the ESPN?


Is that like the NFL? Is it football? Or Spanish soccer or something?


It is a channel that shows sports only and they once won an Emmy because they invented the superimposed yellow line in football.


Who is Emmy? And they won her because of a yellow line? That seems like an odd connection.


Emmy is an award and yeah kind of strange but it seems it helps a lot when you are watching the game at home


I never needed an award to help me watch a game, but I guess TV and sports have changed.


Yeah for sure they have. Do you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


Can't say that I've had the pleasure of his acquaintance.


Me either but he is a great player, a former QB who never fumbled the ball in his career


A QB that never fumbled? That's incredible! I can't barely hold a beer without spilling some on my dog.


Haha there you go. Nice chatting with you.


What do you think about Tom Brady, the football player ?


I was never much a fan but after I saw his Tom vs Time documentary it totally changed my mind.  I give him all the credit he deserves now and yes...I'm a fan now  lol


Me too I really like him, the Pats would not have won the Super Bowl when they were trailing 3-28 without him.  What this Tom VS Time documentary about ?


It's a behind the scenes look at how he prepares himself both physically and mentally for the NFL season.  He pretty much never takes a day off all year long.


Is it related to his TB12 Method ? Some find it a little creepy.


In some respects it is a little bit.  You see some of the health and lifestyle decisions he makes in the documentary.  He credits the TB12 Method book for helping him to stay on top of his game.


Don't you think he should stick to being a football player, and keep his advice to football and physical shape ?


That's a tough call because the book does focus on a heathy diet and lifestyle approach that would crossover to help in football.


Maybe your are right, you cannot really improve just one aspect of your life, your have improve most of them at the same time. It is nearly impossible just to improve your alimentation, if you have a toxic lifestyle.


True.  Did you know that the highest score ever in a football game is when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0?  That seems crazy that it was so high.


Yeah how would you feel if you were in the losing team ? I think I would just laugh it out.


I would throw my hands up and just think "well I am here for the education after all".  lol


I don't think there is anything to learn from that loss, I just hope nobody got injured during it.


Yes I agree.  Former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football once during his NFL career.  That's pretty impressive!


As long as he has played often, because I also never fumbled the football during my NFL career. What do you they do with all the data they gather from the sensors and chips they put in their equipment ?


I don't know.  Seems a little like they are getting too analytical to me.


Maybe it is for television, like the yellow bar for the first down. I can't imagine watching football without it.


Yeah, I think it was the kind of product that people needed but they did not know they needed it until it was shown to them.


True.  In the 1960's top bowlers made 2 times as much money as the top football stars from that era.  That number is probably different now.


Yeah, but still, the average lifetime salary of an engineer is higher that the one of a pro footballer, they earn a lot but just for a few years, I think it says a lot about how low the pro bowler salary is.


Yes.  The engineers have a longer career which makes sense.  It was nice chatting with you this morning!  Hope you have a good day!


Engineer don't have much physical injuries, that helps for having a long career. Thanks for the conversation.


NFL? Yes. Did you know that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay? Seems small.


I didn't know that exact figures but I knew it wasn't much. And yet we all watch. Go figure.


We are starved for violence. We like gladiators and combat. Could women be in there though? The NFL has no rule against female players.


I think if they're good enough they should be allowed. But, I wonder if they can get that strong. You?


Had you heard that Tom Brady eats avocado ice cream? I didn't even know there was such a thing.


With all his cash, he can probably get any kind of (disgusting) ice cream he wants.


Yeah probably. Have you heard about his book?


His book on avocado ice cream? Is that a thing?


No the book is more about how he keeps healthy at 40 and his philosophy about life and football.


He probably has a bunch of followers who buy the book. Is it popular?


Well, they say it's a best seller. You sound like you're not a Tom Brandy fan.


I don't really know much about him. I know that he has won many Super Bowls. He married a model. that's it.


I think he is kind of full of himself, and while I'm not really a fan I can't help rooting for him because of his age. At my age I like to see old guys do well.


We all hope to retain the vigor of youth during our sunset years. Yet few of us have access to avocado ice cream.


No, but it sounds kind of good. I like avocado and I like ice cream. I've heard of worse combinations.


I guess I should try it before I judge it. Maybe Tom is onto a winning combination.


Well, he must be doing something right. Hard to argue with that much success.


True. I guess he has many years of playing success still left in him. Anyway, great chatting with you! Have a good evening!


Hi, did you hear about the New England Patriots and Tom Brady?


Yes, I have heard about them but I don't think I've heard any updates about them since the superbowl and recently the news about the Patriot's owner, Robert Kraft. Have you?


Yes, I've heard quite a bit about them. According to Gotham Chopra, Brady's on a spiritual quest as well as his opinion that football has become Brady's religion.


Oh, I think I heard about the "Tom vs. Time" documentary though I've never seen it, have you?


No, I've haven't seen it but I will look for it, it sounds like an inspirational show. I'm interested to find out how spiritual things are connected to football. That seems strange to me.


I forgot where it is being broadcasted, do you know? Is it on TV or Netflix or something? Yeah me too, maybe there's some sort of thing he does that's revealed in the series that allows him to be such a great player!


It airs on Facebook Watch which you have to have a subscription to. It apparently looks at Brady's mental and physical preparation and his spiritaul side as well.


Oh well I don't have a subscription for that, do you? I wonder why they chose that platform to air it on. Yeah, my friend who has seen it told me it completely changed his opinion about the guy, he went from not liking him to actually thinking and respecting the guy.


Well, I don't have a subscription but i figure sooner or later Netflix will get it and I'll watch it then. With as much success as Tom Brady and the Patriots have gotten, you'd think he knows something that no one else is thinking about.


Oh that's true, I hope it does come on Netflix, it might even win an award, like when ESPN won an Emmy for using the yellow line in the games.


Yes, that could happen but think about what real success Tom and the Patriots are garnishing. The have a whole state on their side. Even churches in New England talk about the team on Sundays at the palpit. That's not something that's going on everywhere in the US.


Yeah, for people who aren't Patriots fans living in that area, I think their houses might be teepee'd or something or perhaps painted completely pink like what the University of Iowa did to the visiting football teams' locker rooms.


Yes, that could be, sometimes you don't want to feel the wrath of the opposing team.  But, you have to admit that in last years Super Bowl, the Patriots pulled it out in overtime to win the game and that was very exciting, to say the least.


The super bowl game last year was entertaining and quite good, the TB12 method does work, do you know what the 12 in that term stands for?


Perhaps you're only allowed to eat 12 items per day in the diet?


No, I think it has to do with entire lifestyles of spirituality, fitness, nutrition, philosophies and stuff like that. Did you know that former Patriots RB Benjavus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his NFL career? Thats amazing.


Oh ok, or maybe it has something to do with Brady's jersey number which is 12, I think. That is impressive, perhaps the religion of the game or of Tom Brady helped him achieve that feat!


It could be that you are correct, I'm guessing myself. I do know that it sounds inspirational and like something other teams might want to participate in.that TB12 Method, I mean.


Yeah! do you think schools should require reading the bible as part of their educational curriculum?


It would not be a bad idea in my opinion. Teaching morals and ethics is a good thing. It's been great chatting with you, have a good one.


Nice. DO you have a favorite player or team?


I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Patriots!! How about you?


Nice same here, I love the Patriots and Brady. Did you know he is an author of a book now too?


Yes, I have not read it yet! But I want to. Have you read it?


I have not, but the guy seems to be everywhere now. Did you know women can play in the NFL too?


Yes, that's fair, as long as they can deal with it. Do you know what the TB12 method is?


Yes it is, How do you like the flavor of avocado ice cream? I love avocado, but have never had it in ice cream!


I love it actually and I hear that Brady keeps healthy by sticking to that kind of ice cream


Okay, I will have to find some and try it. Have you seen the film, Tom vs Tom?


I have not seen it I heard that it is about Brady and him getting ready for the NFL season Have you seen it?


Not yet!  Matthew Slater and Tom are good friends on the team.


Nice. I will be checking that documentary series out. Heard they are placing tracking chips on the players now


Yes, shoulder pads and footballs! I think its a great idea! Thinking its better in the long run for engineers than the average NFL player.


Yeah and they already make more than football players in their lifetime


Yes, Have you seen pictures of the real building in modern day Iraq, the Etemenanki?


I have not but I hear that people believe that that is the Tower of Babel. I would like to visit that for sure


Yes, I want to look that up. I am not sure I would want to visit Iraq right now. Great chat!!


Yeah maybe in the future when things calm down. Same here.


Yes I do. I am a fan of the game. What about you?


Nice me too. Did you know women can play as well?


No I actually did not know that was a fact. I was curious if any woman has ever tried out for a team.


I wonder too and if they have tried they must not have made it yet. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


Yes, 222-0! Thats amazing. I wonder how bad your team must be to lose so handidly. Can you believe that Tom Brady really wants to keep playing?


Yeah most players his age are pretty much done at this point and hence I guess they make less money than engineers, their careers are shorter


That was interesting as well. I think there is one kicker who is like 47 who said he will keep playing. But with that, I guess you only have a few plays a game where you actually do anything.


Yeah exactly. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy for the superimposed yellow line?


I had seen that before somewhere. Technology has changed the game. I did not know that it was only 11 minutes of actual time.


Yeah it sure has. And yet when you think about it, we are glued to the tv for hours


We are. The super bowl is like 4 hours when you add in all the comcerials. It wasnt a very entertaining game either, but I was happy Brady won again.


Yeah a lot of people were happy about that, including me.On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


I was raised in the faith but havent really read much of it. I didnt know most children read it up until the 1960s


I see. Yes I am surprised that it was part of the education system for that long Did you know Jefferson created his own version of the Bible?


Yes I did see that, it was fascinating to learn that. I also was interested in the translation of apple being the same as evil


yeah that is pretty cool.Roosevelt and Quincy also opted out of using the Bible to swear in


Suprised that its only been two of them. I wonder their reason


I bet you they were not religious and opted out of it. Do you know much about the Tower of Babel?


I dont. I was interested to look that up. Ive heard how it kind of defines why people speak different language


Apparently people believe that it is in the modern day Iraq, the etemenanki.


Yes I am a fan of football, the american version, are you a fan of that one or soccer but others like to call football in other countries?


American football. Were you aware that in the 60's top bowlers made more than top football players? I can't imagine that now.


Yeah, I don't even think bowling is broadcasted on sports stations or on any stations at all, if it was, would you watch it?


No. I feel like they were randomly on TV when I was little but not for a very long time. Do you have any guess as to what the highest score in football ever was?


Somewhere in the 70s? It's hard to imagine a game being such a high score when there's only eleven minutes of live gameplay!


Wow! That's an insanely small amount of gameplay. Georgia Tech Defeated Cumberland in 1916 with a score of 222-0!


Wow! That's insane! That would hurt my pride a lot but at what point in the game do you just call it quits?


Good question. I didn't know it was even possible to score that many points. It would just have to be constant scores.


Yeah exactly, did you know that the Saints cheerleaders are forbidden from dining in the present of NFL players, such horrible treatment!


That's upsetting. I did hear about that. What really disgusts me is that is the cheerleader was there first and is already eating, she has to stop eating and leave. That makes me very angry. What's the point in that?


Yeah, why is there even such a rule, what benefit does it serve? I think, if anything, that rule just adds to the ego of football players.


I agree. Did you also know that there are tracking chips in players shoulder pads and the football?


Is it to track their speed and movement or impact of tackles perhaps?


It tracks velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location. Why do they not use these as part of making the calls? Why do they rely only on reviews when they have this technology?


Yeah that's a great point! I wonder if the agents use this data to negotiate better contracts and salaries for their players, it could be a great bargaining tool.


I agree. Since they are not doing any of this, it begs the question what are they doing with this data?


Probably selling it to people in this digital age and yet the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than that of the NFL player, any theories why that's the case?


I have no idea. That's the first I've heard of it. I'm surprised more people don't go for that then rather than hoping for a football career. It would certainly be less hard on your body.


I agree, so that could possibly mean females are quite smart since even though they're allowed to play in the NFL, they don't because it's such a physical and injury inducing sport!


Hi! I love Tom Brady! In fact, I've been wanting to study the TB12 Method aka the athlete's bible that he says helps him stay in top shape at 40 years old. What about you?


I have heard of it, but have not read it. You?


I would like to! I also want to see the Tom vs. Time series that recently premiered on Facebook Watch as well that focuses on his physical/mental preparation as well as his spiritual side.


Sounds awesome. I admire his dedication tot he craft of football, but I am uncertain about his religious overtones.


Agreed! So are you a football fan? I certainly am although I wish it was longer. The 17 week regular season from September to December just isn't long enough for me. Ha!


Yup, me too. And there is only 11 minutes of actual playtime per game. Leaves you wanting more!


So true! And can you believe there are actually no rules against women playing as long as they meet the eligibility requirements? I can't believe we haven't at least had a female kicker by now!


Yeah. That would be a good position.  I wonder what the minimum eligibility requirements?


That's a good question! But perhaps if they're doing it simply for the pay, they'd be better off entering the engineering field since engineers make more than the average lifetime earnings of both MLB and NFL players, ya know?


Sounds about right. But hard to believe that bowlers used to be paid better than NFL athletes!


That is hard to believe, isn't it? Wonder how much someone like Benjarvus Green-Ellis gets paid considering he's never fumbled the football in his entire pro career! That is amazing!


Yeah, and I bet he never dropped his wallet either!  I would give him an Emmy for that performance!  Better than the ESPN Emmy for for creating the superimposed yellow line!


Ha! You are so right about that! And that yellow line was truly innovative. Similar to the chips embedded into the shoulder pads thay records each players every move! That is incredible if you ask me!


Seems creepy to me. Big brother watching your every step...


Yeah true. They also have a chip planted in the ball that tracks location, speed, velocity and rotation as well!


That makes more sense to me. Not as creepy. Like the New Orleans Saints, who restrict movements of Chearleaders. Have you heard of this?


Yes and that's so misogynistic. Can you believe it? I'm so surprised no lawsuits have been filed over that silly rule. It's worse than Georgia Tech once humiliating Cumberland 222-0. Even though that's the highest score in football history, it's still classless. But not as bad as what the Saints do to their cheerleaders.


You want humiliating? Try dressing in a pink lockeroom like they have at Univ of Iowa!


Ha! Can you imagine what that does? It could be a good thing... or very bad! Ha! I know we talked about the athlete's bible earlier, but do you know anything about the regular bible as well? I can't believe it has sold over 5 billion copies. I guess that's why they call it the best selling and most influential book of all time.


Awesome book. I even like the Apocrypha!   Nice chatting!


Are you a NFL fan?  If so, you may find it interesting that many are drawing religious parallels with the New England Patriots.


Yes, New England Patriots players are favored to win super bowl LII, Which could be the sixth NFL championship.


They may do so with the help of Brady's "Athletes Bible"


Football has become Brady Religion, said chopra. He is the one of the best player, Which credits with helping him stay at the top of his game at age of 40.


Yep.  The Pat's have quite a fan base that worships coach Bill Belichick.  The say: "In Bill We Trust."


Other than football, Brady turn into spiritual life for the purpose. It was the great loss to the football fan.


He's not the only one on the team.  Matthew Slater is an evangelist off the field.


Yes, Brady is a kind of messiah figure for a lot of Patriots fans.


I think he's more into health and nutrition than he is religion. He show's no sign of quitting football.


Football are always take healthy food and regular exercise to make them fit for the game. It very essential because they are playing for the nation. Small injury make them very upset.


I bet the fans for Cumberland were upset in 1916.  The got beat by Georgia Tech 222-0.


Surely, Its now also shocking. The university of iowa's locker room for visiting football team is completely painted with pink.


Pink? Wow.  It's funny to know that pro bowlers made more in the 1960's than the top football stars.


Oct 7, 1916 is the sad day for cumberland bulldog. They lose the match with georgia tech.


Yes.  The NFL has no rule against females playing the game.


Cheerleader are not allowed to eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player and if they already dining in the restaurant if any NFL player comes the cheerleader required to leave. It is the biggest rule in the NFL.


Yeah, I heard that about the N.O. Saints.  Also amazing is that there are only 11 minutes of live game play in an NFL game.


NFL uses tracking chips in player shoulder pads to record the movement of the player in the field.


SO high-tech... It's wild to know that the Tower of Babel was likely are real building in Iraq.


Bible is considered the product of divine inspiration and record a relationship between God and human.


Did you hear that the Patriots football team in the NFL won the superbowl?


I wonder if it is because of prayer that they win?


Bradys method 12 is his number from the Patriots.  It involves his avocado ice cream.


Neither have I. I do think it would be interesting though.


I wonder if something weird is going on with the Patriots. Is it just skill?


I dont know, they sure are dominant.  Its like no one can stop them.


Maybe it is his TB12 method that makes him unstoppable.


Could be, he considers football like his religion.


Yes, even the coach said he was concerned that the faith in the game might be more than their faith in church.


People consider him a Messiah.  There is an In Bill we Trust Motto


Yes, I don't even watch football until recently.


I dont watch much because of lack of cable.


I don't have cable but I do have a ROKU which streams shows. It did show the superbowl until the last 2 minutes.


That was the important part, I might need to look into a ROKU.


You should. You buy it once and then you get lots of things free. It was crazy that they cut it at the last moment. I then watched it on my computer.


I do like watching a lot of sports, so that might be a good option.


Yes, you can also buy sports packages just for your taste.


Awesome!  Great Chat!  have a good night.


Good morning!  Do you like football?  Fan of Tom Brady?


Hi! Yes I am to both questions, I also really like Bill Belichick's coaching, I've read books and articles praising his leadership, you?


Yes!  No doubt the best coach of all time I think.  Did you ever see the documentary Tom vs Time which was about Brady?


Oh, I haven't heard about that documentary, is it on Netflix or something?


I watched it on one of those at one time.  Totally changed the way I thought about Brady.  I went from not liking him to being a really big fan.  He puts a lot of work into his craft and it comes through in the documentary.  I think the first couple of episodes were on Facebook.


Oh wow, ok, I'll have to look into that. Maybe it was that documentary that I saw or something else that also changed my perspective on the guy. Have you heard about his TB12 diet?


I haven't heard about it.  Tell me more.


It's a very extreme diet called the TB12 method where he only eats certain natural produce, good carbs, and all organic. It's what allows him to play well according to him, forgot what the 12 stands for though, do you know?


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


Wow, has there ever been a female player in the NFL? I don't think I recall seeing or hearing in the news that a female has ever played in the NFL, I imagine that'd garner a lot of attention in the media.


Not yet.  But, I'm sure there will be one someday.  There's only an average of 11 minutes of actual live gameplay in an NFL game.  I wish they would play more than that.


With only eleven minutes of live gameplay and yet I devote an entire afternoon and evening! If the games were longer, I think I'd have to spend the whole day in front of the TV, which I don't think I mind being a couch potato


lol  I wouldn't mind it.  I like watching the games because it gives me a chance to unwind before the work week.  In the 1960's bowlers made more than twice as much as the top football stars of that era.


Same here. I wonder if that's still true today, it seems there's an emphasis on salary of football players since the average lifetime earnings of an engineer are also higher than football players. I find that very hard to believe.


I wonder if it's because engineers have longer careers?


Oh, good point. But I imagine multi-million endorsements are probably higher than the players' salary.


That's incredible how they do that with the chips.  They also have them in the footballs to track velocity, etc.


That's pretty neat, do you know if this data has been released?


I am not sure.  I always think it's funny when you hear soccer being referred to as football in other parts of the world outside of the U.S.


Yeah, it really throws me off a bit especially when football is such a big sport in the US. Is soccer one of your favorite sports?


Somewhat.  I'm a big baseball fan!  It was nice chatting with you today!


No, I am a pittsburgh steelers fan, but they lost shortly after they made it to the playoff.


I am sorry to hear about your two best players leaving. I like Tom Brady, I have his bible!


Oh really, that's great, he believe his bible helped him to win games until the age of 40.


I guess so, lol. I don't know if it can help him anymore! Do you watch college football at all?


I like college football better than pro. I watched the big game Alabama vs Clemson, two of the toughest teams.


Yea that was a good game! I am a Iowa Hawkeye fan, did you know their visiting locker room is pink!


yes, I read about that, I think the Hawkeyes are pretty good, but for some reason I always look for more from the players.


i agree, sometimes they disappoint. At least their games are longer in total playtime. nfl games only have 11 minutes


Do you actually believe that? just think about four quarters, quarterback time, running back time, kicking time, not even counting commercials.


I think so. i think the play clock runs so much of the time off before a play is ran.


Just think about the time the players take in a games divided into four quarters. Maybe this just my opinion.


For sure, their bodies alone take the biggest beating of all. Maybe why engineers created chips to track in their shoulder pads.


Yes you are right, I am glad that the nfl improve protection for the players and to track them maybe for their safety.


Yes, ESPN is one of my favorite channel especially when it comes to college football. Do you watch espn a lt.


I do, did you know they won an EMMY for that yellow line that shows the first down on TV? so interesting!


No I didn't know that, I always wonder about the lines on the field. I wonder what they were using before espn came up with that.


For sure, I bet it was so crazy! Good chatting with you friend!


It is crazy, nice chatting with you also.


Good morning! Yes, I am.  What about you?


I watch mostly college, but I tend to watch most during playoff time.


Did you catch the superbowl this year?  Pretty soon Brady is going to run out of fingers to put those rings on!


Actually, I did.  That thing was too long, though.  I sat for 3 hours, makes me mad to think that the average NFL game has only 11 minutes of actual live gameplay.


Same here.  There is so much waiting around.  Id like to see a game with a running clock for all of it, stopping only when teams score.  That would give more action.


You know they have tracking chips in the player's shoulder pads that records every move on the field.  It would be interesting to see what that data shows!


It would.  Id even like to see how hard those guys are actually getting hit.  I know the NFL doesnt have rules against female players, but I dont know if a female would want to take some of that impact from those 300 pound lineman.


Me either, but I think I'd like to see at least one female on the field.  Would make things more interesting, to me!


Same here.  I think there might be a female on one of the officiating crews.  I think I saw something about that a while back.


On a different note, do you read the bible?


I havent ever read all the way through, but I have read a good deal.


Me too, my grandma got me into the habit of reading a little before bed, every night.  So, I try to keep that up.


It is a good habit.  Did you know that Apple became known as an apple because when translated into Latin, malus means apple and evil.


Did not know that tidbit.  Wonder how many other things get changed/ lost in translation?


Probably a lot that we dont even realize.  I wonder if it was things like that that caused Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams to not use the Bible to be sworn in on.


I dont know.  I heard that with some of the swearing ins in the most recent congress some people used a law book, others the Koran.


Wonder what ole Thomas jefferson would have thought about that?  You know he used a razor to cut out the parts he thought were, supernatural.


I know, that would be a lot of significant stuff.  Anyway, I have to get going, good chat!


I think Tom Brady is the best. I love his plan for life


I agree. His TB12 Method is very motivational


I want to read his "athlete's bible" for my own life


I want to see his "Tom vs. Time show on facebook


"So if you're going to compete against me, you better be willing to give up your life, because he is giving up his." Very good quote


I agree with McDaniel when he said that He is a great example


Well he is friends with McDaniel who is he pastor of Richmond Community Church


Well he is doing what it takes to stay at the top of his game at age 40


Did you know that the visiting football teams is completely painted pink ?


wow. I wonder why ? I did not know that ESPN created the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line


Yes good invention. I would have called it quits in that georgia tech cumberland game


That is something. the lost 222-0. That is crazy !


What is wrong is how the cheerleaders cant eat with the players


Yeah the have to leave when they come in. I will research why


Well I would have rather had been a bowler instead of a football player in the 60's


Or a engineer. The lifetime earnings are higher


The bible is the best selling book ever. I have a copy.


I think everyone does except for Teddy roosevelt and john quincy adams


Well Thomas jefferson created his own version of the bible. I guess he do not truly believe


I am kinda familiar. Sometimes I watch. Maybe the SB if I have a chance. What about you?


I am pretty much the same. Any favorite team or position?


Don't have a favorite team. Usually root for the underdog in the SB. I think that the Pats have reached the end of their reign. Brady is too old.


Really? I think even aside from brady, they have had a lot of talented people over the years like green ellis


True, but all dynasties end. I suppose Bill B could find another QB, but I doubt he will be as good as Brady.


Probably after 2 key players change and the coach retires probably. I won't say they will keep winning the super bowl but I think their performance will go a long way


Hard to say, but I think they still have a good shot at the next superbowl


Please don't bet according to my opinion and do so based on your research


That is sound advice. I will do my research on Tom Brady and the gang before I wager my kids' college fund. The Bible tells us not to bet foolishly on great contests determined by divine will.


I personally wouldn't wager on sports games, more than I would be willing to lose anyway. Do you read the bible often?


Only in preparation for the Super Bowl. There is much wisdom to guide us in predicting the outcome of sporting events.


The Bible leaves nothing to chance for all is known, and that knowledge is shared to those that are true. I know that the Bible will guide me to selecting the victor of the great contests played in our beloved country. Those who lack faith will overlook the truth that could have been theirs but isn't.


in that case, good luck in your endeavors. Thanks for chatting.


Hi, how are you? What do you know about the Bible?


A little bit but not as much as I probably should.


Did you know that before 1963, it was not uncommon for US students to be required to read from the Bible as part of their elementary education? The country sure has changed.


I did not. I wonder what the religious make-up for the U.S. was at that time? I wonder if it's more diverse now and therefore not very inclusive.


Very true. I expect that at the time, it was accepted. Now immigration has changed things.


I would imagine so. I did hear that Jefferson created his own version of the bible.


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


It's an interesting approach. I wonder how much it was an attempt to understand it or make it more palatable or an attempt to make it his own which I am not sure is okay in Christianity.


It would not be ok. His changes would make it a different faith. Other presidents have taken a similar attitude toward the Bible. Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and John Quincy Adams did not use a Bible at their swearing-in ceremonies. I think they swore on the Constitution.


I suppose they should be given the opportunity to be sworn on whatever they believe in. Not everyone believes the same thing. I have heard people complain about politicians being sworn in on religious texts that were not the bible but I don't see the problem at all.


The loyalty should be to the people and the country.


I totally agree. Did you know that the Tower of Babel was likely based on a real building?


I expect that many things in the Bible have some connection to things in the world historically. They might appear in a different guise. The language of the Bible changes. For example, an apple only became known as an "apple" when the bible was translated into Latin in the 4th century. The reason: the word "malus" means both apple and evil. That is an interesting coincidence.


Wow! That is very interesting. So I wonder if it was entirely a metaphor rather than a fruit at all?


I would think that's a good possibility. Earlier readers might have understood the play on words.


Interesting. By the way, the building that they believe the Tower of Babel is based on is the Etemenanki in Iraq.


That sounds reasonable. It would be located somewhere in the Middle East. I wonder what it looks like.


That's a very good question. I had no idea it was based on a real building until very recently so I have never looked. I will definitely look into it.


Yes, please do. Anyway, thanks for the chat! Have a good day!


Before you go, I just wanted to note that I have met many people that did not realize that Christianity and Judaism were so closely linked and use many of the same texts. It's always shocking to me.


I believe it. The Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible.


That's a good point because I believe that and the Torah are the same.


I like to watch football, yeah, not my favorite sport but its nice


Yeah I watch it from time to time too. DO you like Tom Brady?


He is the QB for the Patriots right? I guess he is a great player, I watched the last Super bowl and he threw an amazing pass


Yeah he is. And now he is author too. he published a book called The TB12 Method


Do you know what are some of the stages or rules of that method?


I am not sure actually Speaking of QB, do you know of Benjarvus Green-Ellis?


Yeah, I have heard about him, he also played for the Patriots right?


Yeah and he is the guy that never fumbled the ball in his career


He never fumbled a ball! wow, that is amazing, I dont know much about football, but that seems like a hard quest.


It sure does and good for him. Do you know the visitor locker room at U of Iowa is pink?


It is? that sounds like a great tactic to make the other team mad, college football sounds fun,


I think that is what it is. Do you know what the highest score in football is?


No, not really I know more about soccer than football but if you know can you please tell me?


The highest score is 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat CUmberland. What a game


That sounds like a massacre lol, and also a really boring game, who looses by 222 points?


I know right? On another topic do you know much about the Bible?


No not really, I did read some verses when I was a little kid, are you a religious person?


I am not actually, just know some facts about the Bible , how it was in the education system until 1963


I do remember a story about the Babel tower, I then learn that might be a real tower.


Yeah it seems it is the etemenanki in the modern day Iraq


It must be a really nice building, a lot of history in one place, really interesting indeed.


Yes I do and unfortunately the Chiefs are playing The Pat's this sunday!


I'm not too into football as it doesn't really catch my attention. There are only 11 minutes of live gameplay on average in each game. I know many fans and players view the sport almost as a religion though.


That is ridiculous. Tom Brady is starting to believe his own press. His TB12 Method is like he is selling his success  in an almost cultish way. I am sure he is close to retirement and now starts selling a book.


Yeah, he says his athlete's bible helps him to stay at the top of his game.


A true fact is that in the '60s top bowlers made twice as much as football stars. I think the game has become more popular as people work Monday - Friday and TV watching has grown.


That is insane that we have gotten so serious about football since then. So much that we have tracking chips in players shoulder pads and inside footballs.


What is amazing that with all the money thrown around, an engineer over his lifetime earns more that the average nfl player.


That is interesting. I think it's silly to worship NFL players. It's amazing that someone thought that ESPN needed an Emmy for making the superimposed yellow line!


That is funny since actors work for years to get one! Did you know that for the New Orlean's team, the cheerleaders cannot eat at the same restaurant as the players? If the player comes in, they must leave the restaurant. I wonder what the rationale is ?


That seems kind of sexist! Speaking of sexism, I wish more people were into women's sports. Women can play in the NFL if they meet the requirements but I'm not sure if that will happen.


At least there is no written rule that women can't play in the NFL. Meeting the requirements would be difficult!


Yeah, I heard that there is a talented kicker who might change that. Speaking of talented players, Benjarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled the football in his NFL career.


I wonder how much he gets to play? Speaking of Tom Brady becoming his own religion, Did you know that Teddy roosevelt and John Quincy Adams are the only two presidents that did not use a bible to be sworn into office?


I wonder why that is! Yeah, Tom Brady wants to find the meaning of life through his own way, through football.


And he will have a lot of followers! Did you know that Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible cutting out the supernatural parts (miracles)?


Hmm, that is kind of extreme. Though, what is regarded as canonical varies depending on different traditions and groups.


It is also thought that an apple became known as an apple when the bible was translated into latin. Malus means both apple and evil in Latin.


I find it interesint how the Hebrew Bible, Greek Septuagint and Christian Old Testament all overlap


The biblical towe of Babel is likely a real building- the Etemenanki in Iraq. Yes it is interesting how many faiths overlap!


Even among Christian denominations there is disagreement about what should be included.


Good morning!  I do enjoy a good football game and while I am not a Patriots fan, I certainly appreciate how good they and Tom Brady are.


I like the patriots. They are like the lanisters of football.


Sweet GOT reference!  I think TB & Coach Bilichek are in a power struggle now and neither wants to be left out in the cold, while wanting to prove that they can win without the other.


I've learned that TB is achieving cult like status among the fitness/health community for his routine and regimen that keeps him in top shape that translates to winning on the football field


Well he is an expert and has proved it given his performane


It make me wonder, with his life so seemingly perfect (career, family, celebrity), if a scandal is on the horizon again.  Bigger than deflategate, more like the one that his Owner, Robert Kraft just got tangled up in?


Who knows. I feel that sometimes celebrities got it hard with their lives under a microscope and paparazzi.


It could also be because some people are very jealous of others success, that they look for ways to bring them down.  Some critics of TB are pretty strongly against him


I can understand some of the criticism, especially from football purists that want athletes to just shut up and play the game.  Times have changed and today it's all about Brand and Q ratings


So is there any team of player you follow in particular?


We did not have a local team where I grew up, nor did my family have an allegiance to a team so I don't really have a favorite per se.  But now, living in Phoenix, I cannot help but follow the Cardinals, although I don't really root for them - some of their players are very popular.  You?


Right!  What's not to like - the pinnacle of success and achievement.  The Boston sports scene has had a lot of recent success


Yes!  The analogy between Football and Religion is very true for some fans, and now that TB has his "Bible", it's even more prevalent among NE fans I suppose


I mean some fans are very dedicated. Some even play fantasy football.


I play fantasy football, but am totally able to separate fantasy from reality.  I have a great time playing in the league with my good friends!


Indeed. In any case, thanks for chatting.


I do, I love the NFL, love football, what about you?


Yes me too. Did you know women can play too?


Like in an actual league game? they can? There's no rule against it?


Nope there is no written rule so if they qualify, then they are allowed to play


Maybe there are some tough women out there, you never know. DO you know what the highest score in an nfal game is?


Its 222 to 0 right? I recall watching a documentary about that, it was Georigia Tech against some other team


Yeah they played against the Cumberland and totally crushed them and went into history


No one wants to be remembered as the team that lost by 222 points


Yeah exactly. DO you know who Benjarvus Green-Ellis is?


No, who is he? is he a football player on the 222 point losing team?


Actually he was a QB for the Patriots who never fumbled the ball


Oh I see, never fumbled? wow, that is amazing, I wonder why I never heard of him before, I have to Google him up now


Yeah he was pretty amazing. Apparently bowlers made more than football players back in the 60s


They did? well football want a popular sport back then, at least not as popular as it is now so it does make sense, I dont see a bowler making more money than a pro football player now


Yeah things have really changed now. On another topic, do you know much about the Bible?


No not really, my grandmother used to be really religious but Im not, I have read some verses of the sacred book though


Oh I see. Did you know that in school it was part of the program before 1963?


I didnt know that, what are your thoughts on this? I think religion should be imposed


I like the fact that it is no longer the case. Religion should be a free choice.


Hi.  Do you like football?  Are you familiar with the NFL?


NFL? Is that the National Football League? Yes, I 've heard of it. The football that I know is with a round ball.


Oh okay.  The NFL is a professional American football league.


Now I am understand. The American football is the NFL. I am not so familiar with it.


It has 32 teams.  They have games from September to December.


It sound like intense. Is it a game that many people watch?


Most Americans watch the games.  NFL and football are very popular in the United States.


I am impressed. THis game must be very good. Do you have a team that you like?


I like 49ers since I used to live in San Francisco.  They are not  very good though.  I was a long time ago since they won the superbowl.  They belong to the NFL also.


San Francisco sounds like a great team. Other cities have teams. Who is the best team now?


The Patriots.  They won five championships.


They have won the most championships? And they are the best now? I guess everybody admires them for their prowess.


Yes.  Are you familiar with Tom Brady? He is their QB.


I do not know. Well, maybe i have heard the name but not know. The QB? Is it a special thing?


It stands for quarterback. Quarterbacks are leaders of offensive teams.


He is a leader. I guess this is why the Patriots are so good at championing.


I think so.  Tim Brady is the team's quarterback.


There is a Tim and a Tom? Are they brothers? It must be hard to share leadership. This is special talent they have.


It was a typo.  What I meant was Tom Brady.  He was the quarterback who lead the team to five superbowl championships.


I think this game of NFL and the teams and Tom/Tim Bradys sounds like a very American sports. Much courage and leadership. Thank you for teaching this things to me.


I've got to run.  It was nice chatting with you.


You can read more about NFL on the internet.  Sorry for the typo.  The quarterback of the Patriots is Tom Brady.  Bye.


Yes, I really admire his hard working skills and his commitment to the team and sport as I've come to learn in the documentary "tom vs time" have you seen it?


I have not seen it but it sounds interesting. Apparently football has become his religion, what ever that means.


Football has become his religion and for some, Tom Brady has become their religion or somebody they worship. There's even a creed for the Patriot's coach "In Bill We Trust", that' seems a little extreme to me.


Yeah that and the fact the some fans have deemed him their messiah.


Crazy! But not as crazy as how the Saints cheerleaders are treated, did you hear about that?


Yeah i think that's pretty sexist. Way beyond the confines of fraternization.


Yeah exactly! But then again at the same time, women are allowed to play in the NFL, though I don't think I have heard anybody coming close to joining the league, have you?


I have not and i'm not being sexist i hope they don't. They last thing i want to see is 135lb pound WR being hit by a 295lb linebacker. I do think they should form a league like the WNBA. what do you think?


I understand what you mean, but I think there would be some physical requirements you have to meet in order to play, or I mean, survive an attack from 300 pound linebacker! Another way of looking at it is women are smart enough to not play that intensive sport! If there was a WNFL, I don't think the ratings would be too hot compared to NFL.


I do even more so than the WNBA. But i agree with what you said about women being smart enough to stay away from it. especially now that we know for sure about the brain injuries that it can cause.


Yeah, even with only 11 minutes of live gameplay, I don't think it's worth the risk. But even still, eleven minutes of live gameplay and I devote my entire Sunday to the sport!


I know right, i just don't see how those figures can be right. Have you ever had Avocado ice cream?


Yeah, I think it's a little off too. No, is avocado ice-cream the next big thing? Like poke?


Poke? No apparently Tom Brady swears by it it's part of his TB12 Method program.


The sushi thing that came from Hawaii or something, called poke. Oh wow, is that his diet regimen? TB12?


It's part of the plan he has for his life. Joy, Peak Performances and plenty of Avocado ice cream.


Oh wow, I wonder if avocado prices increased as a result of his book, do you know by chance?


I don't for sure but i would gather they did. You know the highest scoring football game was a college game in 1916?


How high of a score did the game get to?


Georgia Tech put a hurting on Cumberland 220-0.


Wow, they didn't even score any points! I think my pride would be quite bruised if I was on the losing team.


I am, I really enjoy the heart and soul of the game. I truly believe that it's a divine game. And you?


I love the game too. DO you have a favorite team or player?


I do. I'm a Patriots fan true and blue. I believe that it can truly be its own religion.


Yeah I love the Patriots and Brady too. Did you know he is the author of a book as well now?


I recently saw that. It really makes sense, I mean, who doesn't want to be like Tom Brady, I can understand why some people see him as a kind of messiah. Do you think he's charismatic?


Yeah I think so, he has made a career everywhere. Did you know women can play in the NFL too?


Interesting! I hadn't realized that. Though I think they would have a tough time meeting the eligibility requirements. Did you know they track players movements with chips? Very 1984


Yeah I think they are collecting stats like velocity and rotation and such. I hope they can use that data to make thegame safer


Yeah, but should football really be safe? Think of all the money they get paid! It's for our entertainment!


I know but just to spare them the concussions. In the 60s bowlers made more money than football players


Wow! Though I suppose their average time is short actually playing in the NFL. In the long run an engineer will make more. But still. I suppose you would want to make the game as safe as bowling?


I am not sure if that would work, bowling is a pretty slow game. Did you hear about that game between Georgia Tech and Cumberland back in 1916?


222-0! Insane! Did you know that Green-Ellis never once fumbled? These kind of stats are what really makes me interested in Football.


Yeah the guy is a legend for sure. DId you know ESPN won an Emmy for the yellow line?


Wow! And when you consider that for only 11 minutes of gameplay, I guess I can see winning an Emmy for that kind of exposure. Do you think the bible has any place in Football?


I honestly cannot make a relation there but on the other hand I know it is the best selling book with over 5 billion copies sold


Crazy! I mean, maybe the Jefferson version, where it's just good advice. I could deal with that as part of Football.


Yeah the guy really did not like the supernatural stuff to go an cut those out with a razor. Wow


It's insane, but you know what - he founded a great University, so someone must have been on his side! Like Brady, you can't be that successful without God in your corner, I suppose!


I guess so. Roosevelt and Quincy seemed not to be religious either as they passed on swearing in with a Bible.


Well, you are asked to swear OR affirm. So I can see the logic in it, I suppose.


Yeah, it is good that they have that option. Nice chat.


Hi, how are you? Yes I am. I sometimes watch. What about you?


Ok. Did you know that the NFL has no written rule against female players? Women would  be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.


I did, but I don't know if those requirements don't inherently disqualify women anyway


True. I don't know what the requirements. Probably women could play non-contact positions.


Kickers and punters have limited risk, though it is possible (but unlikely) that they might have to tackle someone.


I guess that is true, but that could be a liability?


Ok, yes. It could. I'm not advocating that women. play. In fact, they'd be better off as engineers probably. The average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earnings of an NFL player.


Probably due to injury related early retirement


True. Engineers probably don't have to content with pink locker rooms either, or with tracking chips in their clothing.


I wonder what the nfl uses all that data for


Probably sells it to spy agencies in North Korea. Something like that. Maybe for training coaches.


Lol. But ya I hope they use it to lower the rate of physical injuries and concussions.


The tracking would be good for video game design. KNow how players really move. Model it in a game.
