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


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


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


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


Speaking of quarterbacks did you hear about Baker Mayfield?


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


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


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


No, I am more of a Mario Brothers person.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I do, do you have any podcasts recommendations?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I liked his role in Groundhog Day and also Ghostbusters


He is a cultural icon when it comes to comedy films


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


Nope i never knew that which superhero was it


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yes it was easy to dial in a rotary phone


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


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


Yes and they lie on the bottom of the ocean floor


DO you know how much computing power an iPhone has?


Yes more than the US icbm nuclear deterrent


Yes. Do you know who the three wealthiest are?


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


I wonder if that means something else too in their language


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


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


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


And has released 3 albums already. Nice chatting with you


Same here and keep an eye on that pop star


hey did you know that Pilgrims actually wore colorful cloths?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Have you heard about the caravan coming from Central America?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I read that earlier today in one of these hits


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Oh, george martin? probably something from GoT?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


That sounds disgusting but he is very healthy.


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


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


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


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


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


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


The Jags were 3-1 last season before going down hill after that


Oh no. Do they have a good Quarterback? Quarterbacks are a pretty important part of the team.


No, they're qb sucks, the starting qb of Brady's JV high school team is probably better than him


Well, Brady's high school football team was probably so bad because they wouldn't play him!


Yea it's pretty horrible to not even score a touchdown in a season


Can you believe Baker Mayfield was going to give up a football career to pursue professional gaming?


No that's insane he'd consider playing Halo 3 professionally instead of football


Yeah, like being able to beat all the kids on your campus is going to pay your bills.


I don't think playing video games would make much money, I mean engineers on average make more in a lifetime than a NFL player


Yeah, engineers make a lot of money, but I imagine that's because their career lasts much longer than an NFL player.


Yea it's insane how dangerous an nfl game is when it averages only 11 minutes of live gameplay


Nope, I'm a Giants fan, don't really like the Lannisters of the nfl


Yeah, I remember reading that George RR Martin called them that. Hilarious, and accurate.


It's pretty crazy how Bilichick has 21 post season win with the patriots and browns


And the Browns last playoff was when Belichick was their coach.


Yea it's ironic the Brown beat the patriots back in 1995


Yeah, and that was when Belichick was their coach.


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Hello there, I am, but my team didn't even make the playoffs this year so that sucked, how about you?


I am as well. My team made the playoffs and also recently won a Super Bowl so it's been a good couple of years for them.


Nice! I'm guessing maybe a Philly fan? I am a Packers fan, so it's been some years but was still nice winning one in 2010.


Yes I am an Eagles fan. We had a wild ride this season, I'm just happy we made the playoffs. The Super Bowl this year was a lot duller than Super Bowl 52.


Yeah it was, your team had one of the most exciting super bowls ever!  I was cheering for you for sure!


I think a lot of NFL fans were since we were playing the Patriots. Foles really made for a great feel-good story.


Yeah Foles played an amazing game, and one of the best plays of all time in a super bowl or any game. So much better than this years.


I do have to give credit to Brady and the Patriots as much as I don't care for them. Winning 6 Super Bowls is an amazing achievement.


Oh yeah same here, they will go down as the best franchise in NFL history, Belichick most likely best coach ever.  Have to respect it, don't have to like it.


Exactly. There's also a definite jealousy factor. I wish the early 2000s Eagles had been able to have been as dominant. We made the playoffs a lot but could never capitalize.


That is true, I remember those teams, McNabb had some really good years there.


Andy Reid and McNabb really made a good duo for us. Unfortunately they had to move on as it got a little stale in the end. I still find myself rooting for Andy in KC.


Yeah same here, I really wanted to see Reid and KC and their QB beat the Patriots and make the Super Bowl.


My ideal matchup would have been KC versus New Orleans. I would not have been upset if either of those two teams won. What a horrible call that was in the New Orleans game.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah. The average gameplay is only 11 minutes after all


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


Yeah. Engineers make more over the lifetime than footballers


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


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


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


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


Yes it is sexist and it needs to go really


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


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


Yes that was very smart of him. Nice chat


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


At least the patriots treat their cheerleaders well


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


George rr Martin calls the patriots the Lannisters of football lol


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Hello, do you know much about quarterbacks?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yes. The average gameplay is 11 minutes anyways


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


But they also have longer careers so can make more money


True. Did you hear of the Saints cheerleaders rule?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


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


Yeah that was smart. Nice chatting with you


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


These chips are embedded in players' shoulder pads.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yes as there is no written rule against them playing


Yes if they qualify, then they get to play


Yeah. The average gameplay is only 11 minutes anyways


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


Yes I guess they have longer careers too though


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah I bet you they are regretting that decision now


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


Yes he took lots of AP tests in high school


Such a smart guy, really planned everything ahead of time


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


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


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


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


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


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


That makes sense,  for strategies and statistics.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Well JFK for sure, Washington and Jefferson.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


26 touchdown passes his last year is incredible


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yes, football is one of my favorite sport, do you like the sport also?


Yes, I love it! did you know women may be allowed to play?


Yes that what I heard, but nothing personal against women, but do you think this is a mistake?


Well for football you need to be really tall and strong, have a strong mens body. So i find it difficult!


That's what I am getting to, women want to do everything men do, but there is a limit to anything and women are build that way, that's a fact.


They say they would allow a woman if it meets the requirements, would be good to find out what those are


yes, but the NFL ratings would drop, because we don't want to see players on the team letting a woman run by him just because he afraid of hurting her.


That would be weird, I was really surprised to learn that the actual time of live play is in average 11 minutes!!


Do you know I have an issue also, I don't believe it, there is no way, must be in a different way, can you tell me how would this be possible?


I believe it is true, the game stops all the time, but I do not mind. Because I love and enjoy football. Do you know about the circular huddle?


No I  never heard of the circular huddle, I have always known it as the a huddle, Is there a different?


Well it is circular so thet the other team does not see or listen to the teams conversation. But it is intereseted it was created because of a deaf QB


Yes that is cool, I knew that's why coaches hold up their play sheets in front of their mouth, to hide what they are saying.


Yeah that is really cool, that a deaf player could be a QB


Wow yes, most people would be full of doubt and never pursue their dream, they would just give up.


I think it is interesting how some considered their education important, like Alex Smith, who took many tests in High School and got his Bachelors in 2 years


Yes you are right, It's good to have an education, but there are quite a few sport players and singers who didn't finish school. Education is a good back up.


That is right, and on the other hand , another QB, wanted to trade sports to become a competitive videogame player, good he didn't do it


Yes I agree, by the way what is your favorite nfl team, do you stick with one team win or lose?


I really like the Denver Broncos, what about you?..


My favorite team is Pittsburgh Steelers, It was nice chatting with you.


Are you familiar with the nfl and football?


I am, did you watch the Super Bowl last Sunday?


Unfortunately I could not. How was it? Anything spectacular or unexpected?


It was pretty boring, it was also very low scoring.


Personally I tend to be fans of players rather than teams, especially QB since they are the core of any offense


Yeah, Brady is a good player. I'm not a fan, but I can admit he is good.


I was surprised to learn that brady didn't even get a chance to play in highschool at all, yet he managed to so far will five super bowls


Me too, I think he has won the most Super Bowls ever. Apparently he was a sixth round pick.


I mean he is considered among the greatest QB of all time and the greatest steal in NFL history.


Yeah, I'm not surprised. He's won a lot of awards. Did you know the NFl uses tracking chips?


Ya they put it in the players shoulder pads and even in the footballs themselves. I wonder how they apply the data they get


Probably some computer model, but I wonder if it actually helps.


Who knows? There is a lot of action in those 11 minutes of gameplay in a average nfl match


Yeah, I'm not surprised that this is the full amount of time that players play.


I always thought it was longer given how long games are shown on tv


yeah, the games are long. A lot of TV commercials, and a lot of time waiting on the sidelines.


I guess that makes sense. I wonder if we will ever see a woman player in the nfl since there is no explicit rule against gender


I'm not sure. I don't know how much longer Football will be around, I worry that the CTE issue could end up causing a drastic drop off.


The brain injury that players get from playing. Perhaps they can fix it.


Oh! It is probably because of such injuries that despite having much higher pay, the average nfl engineer has higher average lifetime earnings than an nfl player since the average player has a high probability of being injured and having an unfortunately short career


Interesting. It is probably a lot of the lower paid players lower the actual average of the salaries.


Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. did a nice job again yesterday, securing his place in Superbowl history. Did you watch the game?


I live near Foxboro MA so I was very happy when the Pats won. Though I do not follow football that much. I watched part of the game.


Brady's wife, the model Gisele Bundchen, was in attendance at the game. The announcers talked of her but never mentioned that she makes more money than her huisband.


I don't think Tom would appreciate that on National Television. Football players don't make so much for all the injuries they sustain.


Yeah. Belechick lists Brady on injury report every week, whether he is injured or not, just to play with our minds.


I think Brady is about 42 now. He must have a lot of old injuries. He can retire now. No one will ever touch his record.


Pretty impressive. You wouldn't know it by his demeanor, but Brady has never eaten a strawberry before. Maybe when he retires...


I think he is allergic to them. But I am not sure.


He had never thrown  more than 30 TDs in a year before 2007, but that year he threw for a record 50!  If this is any indication, if he ever does eat strawberries, he will probably eat a whole bushel at once. Let's hope he in not allergic!


I always wondered why, if women are allowed to play in the NFL, that no one ever tried to get on a team.  Wouldn't it be prejudice if they were good players not to let them on a team?


Have you ever tried to survive through a summer camp in the NFL, in hopes of not getting cut before the season? If less than 0.01% of willing and eligible male players make it to play in the NFL, then let's do the math on the willing and eligible women athletes that try out each each. 0.01% of what number should we choose before we see a female starer in the nfl?


I see your point. I am just wondering, with all of this progression that a woman hasn't pushed harder to get in. It would be interesting.


I'd vote yes, but the average lifetime earning for an engineer is higher than the average for an NFL player. Women are too practical to risk losing teeth if the payoff is inferior.


That's true. But since there is only 11 minutes of live play in a game, I think maybe a woman could survive. I don't know if the guys would give her a break, though.


I was a wrestler, and in college, the typical wrestling match is only 7 minutes of go-time, but in that time, one can earn a lifetime of injuries. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. I wonder, if a female player was on the Saints football team, would the Saints cheerleaders change their rule about not being able to dine in the same restaurant?


My son was on the wrestling team in high school and broke his wrist the first month. That rule about the cheerleaders having to leave the restaurant is ridiculous. I would like to know the reasoning behind that.


I wonder if it is true in the off-season too. Imagine being a cheerleader and panicking every time someone with a football jersey walks into your restaurant.  Oh, well, the gruelling 17-week season is over for another year. We will have to wait a while before the next season starts. Until then, we get to hear pundits recite sports trivia for a year.


I think I would ask for a doggie bag if a player came in. That's not fair, though. I am glad the Superbowl is over for this year. I have to listen to my male friends reciting sports trivia, never mind seeing it on T.V.


I think ESPN is doing a 2-hr special on discrimination in the NFL. The only topic to be discussed is why Kellen Moore is the ONLY left-handed QB in the league. That's social justice for you...


It is rather strange that he is the only one. I wonder how it effects him and the other players? I think you are being ironical, but that's OK. lol


If you could see my lips moving you would be able to tell. But, like the huddle, not being able to see the signals helps to protect secrecy. You will just never know! But it has been nice conversing with you! Chow!


yes I do. do you have a favorite player?


No, I do not, though I know that Tom Brad is a great player. I know that's attributed to his skill but is also partially diet. He has never eaten a strawberry.


that is strange. I wonder if he is jealous or what?


Speaking of jealous, I wonder if he is jealous of his wife as she makes more than double her husband's salary.


yeah she sure does. his coach lists him in the injury report evey week


no not at all, so I am not sure why he does that


It seems that Tom Brady has gotten even better in the last few years. He had never thrown 30 touchdown passes in a season before 2007. Then he did a record 50 that year.


go figure, maybe he was saving a surprise for then


Football still doesn't really keep my attention. Maybe it's because there are only 11 minutes of live gameplay.


that is so amazing and yet we are glued to the tv for so long to watch a game


I know. We take it so seriously that there are tracking chips in the shoulder pads and footballs.


yeah I think they are using them to track their movement and get statistics that way


Yes, it also helps to determine location.


Yes, I wonder if we will ever see a woman who meets the requirements. That would be cool.


Yeah and I think it would bring more diversity to the game


Yet the NFL seems old fashioned. I know players are more important to the game but it still seems wrong that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders have to leave the restaurant even if they are already eating, if some players want to eat there.


I find that extremely sexist to be honest. I do not see the point of that rule at all


Hey how are you, big fan of Tom Brady by chance?


I  am a big fan of Brady, I love the Patriots my favorite team, what about you?


Not really a huge fan of his, but I know he's definitely one of the best of all time for sure. More of a fan of the NFL in general. It's cool to see them win that many super bowls though!


I agree his one of the best all time and Im not saying that because Im a fan, if you look at his career his numbers are impressive.


No doubt, he's definitely one of the best, if not the best. I don't really care who says otherwise haha, if he had his ability in the 70s and 80s who knows how many records he would have broke.


Probably a lot more, Brady also has a lot of critics but he has showed them and proved them wrong at every turn


They're probably just talking heads trying to get people riled up, even if the game only has 11 minutes of actual gameplay.


Only 11 minutes really? that doesnt seem like a lot, last Superbowl was more than 3 hours long in total


It was, that was such a boring game haha. Saints should have been in it!


It was boring I agree, are you a fan of the Saints? if not do you have a favorite team?


I don't really have a favorite team, I "play"  a lot of fantasy football though. The Saints got screwed over on that lack of pass interference by the endzone in the NFC championship.


They did? I didnt follow the NFC this season. Do you know who Matt Patricia is?


I do, he's the the rocket scientist right? lol


He is, rocket scientist and also an NFL coach, he must be really smart not sure if his a good coach though.


Me neither, did he play in the NFL too? I forget. I wonder what makes him a rocket scientist though.


I dont think he did, he was an aeronautical engineer before he joined the NFL, amazing how much time has gone by since the first playoff game.


For sure, it's been a hot minute. I always thought he was a former player, he seems pretty big. Did you know the Saints have explicit rules about the cheerleaders and players?


No, haven't heard about that rule before can you elaborate further?


They can't be eating in the same restaurant, even if they came separately. If a player walks in the cheerleader has to leave. I wonder how much that is actually kept up though.


That is unfair! how can the NFL allow that, so rude and so sexist. That rule makes me so mad.


For sure, me too. I'm going to take off though, great chatting!


I hope the NFL changes in the future but oh well its been great chatting I agree have a nice night friend.


I really like football but I did not know there was a chance women could be eligible


Same here,  I didnt know that the NFL has no rule against women playing,  that is really interesting.


If one meets the requirements, they could play. remember Giselle Bundchen?


I do not.  I dont follow football much,  I just know some basics.  Was she any good?


She is Tom Brady's wife. She is a famous model and earns more than twice what Tom makes!


Ah I see,  I guess I read it wrong,  I thought she used to play football.  Yeah,  he should just retire already before he gets injured,  sound like they are doing just fine.


With the salary she earns  I do not think she would be interested in playing football LOL


I found interesting that Brady never ate strawberry in his whole life!!


I think that is outdated,  I heard on the radio awhile back that he tried a strawberry for the first time ever.


Oh that is good!! Did you know what the average of actual game is in a football match?


That is right! I was surprised, I thought it was way more, but still is really exciting to me!


Yeah they have a good presentation,  they distract you with other thing lol time outs  breaks commercials,  mini games and crowd involvement lol


Is all part of the show!! Do yo know how info on players performance is obtained?


True, they put them in their shoulder pads, those must be very resistant!


that is right!! Talking about Quarter backs, did you know there is only one left handed?


Hi!  I do watch the NFL occasionally... I'm a big fantasy football player, so I have to stay up to date to make sure I can do well.  How about you?


yeah I watch it from time to time. do you know how much game play is in a game?


Cool, do you have a favorite team?  Each NFL game has 4 quarters which are each 15 minutes long, i think.


Yeah but actual play time is only 11 minutes


Oh wow, that's crazy... So basically there is only action 1/6th of the time, lol.  Do you think a female will ever play in the NFL?


yeah pretty much. I hope so, they can technically so hopefully they will


As high as NFL players' salaries are, did you know that engineers typically make more in lifetime earnings than NFL players?


yeah, and I agree with that actually, they contribute so much more to the society


Me too... it seems like a lot of NFL players get in trouble with the law.  Did you know that Tom Brady is married to supermodel Gisel Bundchen?


yeah and although he makes a lot of money, she still makes way more than him


Do you think Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all-time?


Well he is one of them I think. do you like him?


I'm not really a fan or a hater; but I will acknowledge that I think he's the best of all-time.  I like Aaron Rodgers a lot too.  Did you watch the super bowl last week?


I did actually but it was kind of boring. Did you know Brady has never had a strawberry?


I agree, it was boring... That's funny, I didn't know that.  He has an interesting diet.  I dont think he drinks coffee either, and also eats avocado icecream, lol.


wow, interesting. and his coach lists him on the injury report every week


That's weird... It must be a weird strategy thing.  Nick Foles prayed before playing and beating him in the Super Bowl.  I wonder if God gave him extra abilities during the game


who knows. did you know he once threw a 50 touchdown pass record once


Yeah, I remember that season... He never threw 30 before then.  They went undefeated all year long, but then lost in the super bowl, haha.


Hello do you know much about Presients or U.S, Senate? The first President of Zimbabwe was named President Banana,  aactually full name was Canaan Banana,  like banana was actually his name!


That's pretty funny. I don't know a lot about politics. I heard that the President's guest house is bigger than the White House!


I know right.  I wonder who stays there and do they use the whole house?  Or do multiple guests stay at a time like a hotel?


I was wondering the same. Apparently, the candidate that lost the election used to automatically become Vice President. That would never work these days!


lol I can't imagine Trump and Hilary making a good team at all.  A President of Indonesia made 3 albums !  That must have been a fun president!  Concerts all the time!


That's funny! The us senate used the same gavel for 165 years until richard nixon cracked it.


That is a long lived gavel!  i wonder if they kept in,  maybe in a museum or something. lol


Probably so! I like the idea of a candy desk in the Senate. We need that at my work.


lol nice!  I would've preferred like a yogurt desk,  fruit desk or beef jerky desk!  I am not much into sweets lol Its weird that women were not allowed to wear pants until 1993,  like what do they do when it is cold!


Seriously, how old fashioned! Apparently the rule was changed when two senators protested and wore pantsuits.


Haha. I agree! The Senate has to elect someone if noone is elected for Vice President.


in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for Vice President. I'm not sure how that could be, either,


lol k.  me either.  That is interesting though.  I just thought the President and vp ran for office together so they would be elected together.


You would think! The top three wealthiest presidents in american history were jfk, washington, and jefferson.


I doubt it,  I think that might be inaccurate.  Trump has got to be the wealthiest President.


That could be. I wonder how much President Banana of Zimbabwe made?


Haha,  good question!  been nice chatting.


Hi there! Do you read much? It's pretty amazing that we can decode the symbols on a page and understand meaning so easily.


Yes, I'm an avid reader. Yes, reading is a complex interaction between text and reader shaped by prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and the language community.


I'm an avid reader as well. I tend to take my time reading books though, nothing like Anne Jones, who reads at 4,700 words per minute!


Wow, that's fast. Yes, the reading process takes time usually and requires continuous practice, development, and refinement. Reading requires creativity and critical analysis as well.


Yea, I think it's been an important part of society's development. I can't believe in the 18th century there was a "moral panic" due to the spreading of reading books.


Yes, I heard about that. Well, there are no concrete laws in reading but rather it provides readers an escape to produce their own products introspectively. This promotes deep exploration of texts during interpretations.


Yea - what do you think the military hopes their soldiers will interpret from books like Starship Troopers or Ender's Game? They are two books often suggested for reading in military branches.


That's hard to say. I do that CS Lewis and Tolkien held "you laugh you lose" competitions when reading terrible poetry.


That's pretty funny. Some of C.S Lewis and Tolkien's works were adapted to the big screen and TV. Do you happen to watch TV much?


Yes, I do watch TV. I watch The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy a lot.


Nice! Those are really funny shows. Apparently when South Park aired its Family Guy episode finale, the Simpson's crew sent flowers to the producers.


I heard that.  Another favorite is Thomas the Tank Engine.  Did you know that Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin have all narrated on that show for at least 52 episodes each?


That's pretty interesting. Since you said you liked the Simpsons, did you notice that Bart appears or at least mentioned almost every show? All but one!


Yes, I heard about that one too.  Did you know that 70's Show was remade verbatim in the UK and called "Days Like These" but was cancelled after only 10 episodes?


That's surprising. Guess the British don't have the same sense of humor. Speaking of the British, did you know that Jann Mardenborough became a pro race car driver by beating people in the video game Gran Turismo?


Yes, I did hear that. Did you hear that it is legal in South Africa to equip your car with flame-throwers to prevent carjacking?


Yea, that is crazy. I bet Karl Benz didn't have that in mind when he was patenting the first modern car!


No doubt and neither did Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac either.


Yea, I figured that there would be someone who founded a car brand in Detroit. It is the motor city after all.


Yes, and he was a french explorer, too. I'm so glad that we don't have to use horse-drawn carriages anymore to go to work.


Hey there do you like watching football? Did you see one team painted their locker room pink?


I know that's a tactic to intimidate the other team. I'm more into basketball since in 39 out of 50 states a college basketball or football coach is the highest paid state employee.


Did you know that the dog was disallowed in basketball for a while? I guess Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was just too good


Yea I couldn't imagine a basketball game without a dunk. Dis you know that the supreme court has a basketball court on the top of their building


That's really crazy. I do think it's funny that it's called "the highest court in the land". I wonder if they ever played basketball games to decide a court case haha


That would be interesting to know...lol Hey did you hear about the man who found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in his granddads attic


That's amazing! You know what I don't like? Kickball in Canada is called soccer - baseball. That name sounds really stupid haha


I would be so confused if someone said that. I think it's odd how popular baseball is in Japan.


I do too. Apparently they are shocked that it is America's national Pastime and not Japan's haha


Yea I'm not sure if the team managers in Japan can actually play in the game if needed like in American teams or not.


That's a good question. I also don't think that Japan used a married couple to schedule other baseball games haha. The MLB did up until 2005


I know that's crazy. Of course baseball and football can't compare to high scoring like basketball unless you count the 1916 Georgia tech game.


No not at all. yes it's crazy that the highest scoring game was 222 to 0. That is a major blowout!


I know right. I wonder if the other team was even awake?  I'm just glad ESPN came up with the yellow line for first downs on football games.


Yes that was a great invention! I didn't know that the New Zealand basketball team is "the tall blacks". That name seems offensive!


It does haha. But you have to admit throwing a 9.4 inch diameter ball into an 18 inch hoop has to require massive precision.


Oh I agree. Did you know that the inventor of basketball was a losing coach? He was the most losing coach at his entire University's history


I know, that sucks for Kansas. Of course when he started he was using peach baskets not a goal 10 feet high like today.


That makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that the New Zealand basketball team is nicknamed "the tall blacks"- that seems really offensive.


It does. But what really confused me is how so many places consider different sports football.


Yes I've always wondered about the name difference between the United States and the rest of the world. I personally like American football though. I can't stand soccer


I am ambivalent about pitch count limits in baseball.  They were introduced 2 years ago.  What do you think?


I dont know muballch about baseball but from what I hear it has mixed results, some cons some pros


Yes they are trying to help young players avoid injuries which is a good thing I would think.  It helps their career in the long run.


Are you a fan of the game? I hear the game is really popular in Japan


Yes I really do love baseball.  I wanted to be a shortstop growing up but I was not all that great.  I could be a manager - theoretically that would actually let me play for a team


I guess if every player gets injured is nice to know the manager can step in, a 17 year old female was banned from pro baseball after she struck out Ruth and Lou Gehrig


wow!  A girl struck them out?  I had never heard that.  She deserves her own baseball card - one lucky dude found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his grandfathers attic!


She does indeed, and he did? 3 million dollars worth of cards!! that guy is really lucky, the odds are really slim


Yes.  That is like the salary of some of the pro football players for a year!  Engineers still earn more though over a lifetime


Well they work for more years, pro players make a lot of money, its crazy how much football stadiums are worth


yes for sure.  I think its funny that teams like Iowa paint the opposing teams locker room pink


Theres a stadium that cost $60 million to build and it was a high school stadium and that is funny, I wonder what opposing teams thing of that,


Wow.  That is crazy.   And to think that in the 60's bowlers made more money than football stars.  Times have definitely changed.


They made more money? wow that is suprising I guess football wasnt a popular game back there or bowling lost its popularity


Yes these days basketball is crazy popular too.  Kareem Abdul Jabbar with his banned dunk shot probably helped it gain popularity


The dunk shot is one of my favorite moves, that seems a bit unfair, ban a move like that one


Yeah.  I am a fan of Wake Forest, my alma mater, but we suck.  Unlike Kansas which has only had one losing coach in history.


It does? it sounds terrible to be remembered as the only losing coach in the history of Kansas,


Yes especially if you are the inventor of the sport!


He was the inventor of the sport! wow, seems like he forgot the rules of his own game lol


Yes.  I bet he was not paid that well - unlike these days  where in 39 states a coach is the highest paid state employee.


Did You know that Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl ?


Yeah!  Cool!  The nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.


Well to be honest, I don't see why would there be rules forbidding women... they could have skills as well ;)


yeah,  I guess I havent heard of it,  so its definitely interesting to me.


Maybe they would not be as strong, but who knows - maybe they could be as quick as men ?


For sure.  An average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay


umm ... what ? what does it mean ? The matches must be longer than that...


about 3 -4 hours of game time,  but the clock is only 11 min,  I think


I'm really confused... I don't watch nfl


lol,  they stop the clock after the players run the ball.  and restart it again when the ball is in play.  They huddle and stuff in between.


ohh, that's what You mean... I'm from Europe so I watch more soccer ;)


Oh I see.  I dont know anything about soccer except that when they say "goooooooaaaaallllllll"  its good to start cheering .


lol:) that's mostly done by Spanish commentators ;) I'm from Poland but sure... goal is a time of celebration as there is not many of those in a game :)


haha ok.  at least im not totally doing it wrong.


...but to me a really exciting game is when there is no goals at all - that means both teams have very good defensive skills and it makes the match very exciting... that one goal could change everything... ;)


Nice,  kinda like hockey!  Did u know Nfl uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field. they are also located inside footballs to track: velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.


That data is for coaching ? Not sure how would they use it...


ahhh, interesting... maybe I'll start watching it :)


its pretty boring.  lol.  a lot of waiting around,  and way too many penalties.  If u go to an actual football game much more exciting.


Ok :) thanks for the warning ! :)  Thank You so much for chatting - it was a pleasure !


I did not realize that JFK was a wealthier president than Washington.


JFK was loaded, I didnt realize Washington was rich lol


Yes there have been a lot of unique presidents in history - Zimbabwe's president banana was a fun one


That name is really fun, is that really his name?


I believe so! I wonder what Trump thinks with the presidents guest house being bigger than the White House?


I think the guest house is actually Trumps, not owned by the goverment,


What would be really interesting is that until 1805 the second place in the election became vice president.  A Trump Hillary combo?  Yowsa!


That would be terrible, I don't like that combination,  do you know that even astronauts can vote!


Yes!  Easier to vote in space though than in India where one polling place was in a forest full of lions!


They did? I guess they really value voting rights in India, it must be a mandatory thing


Maybe so - unlike other countries - not all men in the UK had the right to vote until 1918


They didnt? I wonde why, 34% of the black male population in Alabama lost their rights to vote


There is a lot of voter discrimination in this country.  Thats why the dump in austin is named after somebody.


That is really messed up, I wouldnt like a dump to be named after me, they must have something against Fred Durst


Yes.  Maybe they were listening to the radio too much - there is one station in Finland who does the news in Latin


Yeah that was back in 1989, sounds boring to me, but thats because I dont understand a word of latin


Its gotta be better than listening to radio storms from Jupiter!


Storms from Jupiter actually sound pretty fun, it would be interesting at least


Maybe so - the reception is probably as good as the radios the soldiers in ww II had - made with a razor blade and a pencil


I guess that skilled saved more than one life, knowing how to make a radio out of those materials sounds like a great skill if you are at war


Yes, I sometimes do. Do you? I hear Facebook is mentioned in lots of divorce filings nowadays.


Yes sadly.  It's a bad thing for that.  Burger King once ran a promotion where if you unfriended 10 people on Facebook you would get a free whopper.  Some of those people who had to file divorce because of it should have taken them up on their offer. They could have gotten a free whopper!


I think so! Facebook is so popular that over a quarter of Americans use it as their main news source!


That's crazy I think.  Don't you?  I see so much trash on there or biased stories.  Facebook is valued at over 104 billion dollars now!  Wow.


It was hard enough to believe some of the news on TV, but I agree, the stuff you can read on Facebook is sometimes absurd!


Yes.  Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for 75 million in 2005.  Bad move on their part.


That's interesting because Facebook is blue like the Democrat party and Myspace was Red like Republicans and I heard that Democrats are projected to dominate in the future.


I never noticed that about the colors.  Mark Zuckerburg must be a democrat because he made Facebook primarily blue because he suffers from red-green colorblindness.  lol


Maybe it was a happy consequence for him and Facebook. I heard that red was once a more likable color for people but now it's blue. Something about the sub-conscience.


That's interesting!  Do you watch much television?  Ever a fan of "That 70s show?"


I have watched that 70's show on TV. It was one of my favorite shows to watch when it came out! Do you like it, too?


I loved it.  I recently found out that they made a UK version of it called "Days Like These".  They only made 10 episodes.  You can find them on Youtube.  It's funny because the characters names are the same, they dress the same, and have the same quirks and personalities as the 70s show characters.  Even the different car scenes at the beginning are the same just with different music.


That's pretty funny! I wonder if the show would have included Facebook if it was as out at the time? Can you imagine cut-scenes to the characters Facebook walls?


lol I never thought of that.  That would be neat!  I can't believe how popular Pokemon is.  There are over 750 episodes.  I never quite understood it.  My kids like it though.


Well, I thought the card game was ok. Magic cards is better. I remember Neopets coming out. I heard the like button was once going to be called the awesome button. I wonder why it's not.


Hmm...I don't know.  Interesting.  Facebook's like button is illegal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.  I don't know why though.


I thought besides the like button that Facebook also used to have an unlike button like Youtube?


You know what?  You're right!  They did have a dislike.  Maybe they got rid of it due to advertisers demands because they make most of their revenue from ads that appear on the screen?


I heard that instead of that they give the Facebook users the option of putting in an emoji. I wonder if it's all because they don't want people to be offended?


I would say that you're probably correct.  It was nice chatting with you!


I do, though I wish I could afford to do it more. Funny that planes traveled faster in the 60s though


Would love to check out the Ukraine. But Putin is making that a funky choice.


I would be terrified with all the propaganda, seems too dangerous with so much emphasis on war


Yeah. But they are ironically more friendly to westerners now...as an unintended consequence of Putin's anti-Western propaganda


Haha I feel like he shouldve seen hat coming with all the disapproval. Have you ever stolen a gnome? I have once but Id never think of returning them like some apparently


I've never seen a gnome. Maybe in the Netherlands once....but I was on a bus going 160 mph.


Dude props. What about couch surfing? Theres a website for that now, really puts a spin on hitch hiking


Can potatoes surf? Cause I'm doing a Pokemon marathon...750 episodes


Thats impressive and makes me feel like a bad 90s kid. Though I still love Bing Crosby, crazy how he filled more than half the radio time in 1948


Canadian regulators must've been going crazy.


haha well at least if theyre that mad they can just tune into a station with solar activity


Well, if they plant a flag on Jupiter, that may fulfill the 40% Canadian music rule.


I dont know  much about that, but I know Canada pays Urkraine for Ukrainian based songs


Whoa. Surprised there is a market. But some people still listen to classical Latin, so who knows


I love Latin music. Can you believe Shakespear's two noble kinsmen isnt a movie yet? I always thought that was one of the better ones


Yeah...the simpsons without bart episode will probably become a movie before another Shakespeare play does...they way things are going these days


I can totally see radcliffe voicing edward cullen in the simpsons though, I think he would've done a better job than the movie actor


Give Ringo Starr a shot. He pulled of Thomas the Tank Engine.


I didn't know that! Youd think it'd go to Homer, he did have 188 jobs by the first 400 episodes


Wild. i'm going to check that out no. Nice chatting with you.


Yeah, I watch some shows regularly here and there!


Me too! I did like the Simpsons before when I was younger


I haven't watched it in awhile, but I try to catch the Halloween eps!  Did you know there's only ONE ep where Bart does not appear?


Yes , I have to find it! Did you know the Simpsons crew sent flowers to the producers of south park when airing  the family guy episode finale


Oh man, I can only imagine!  I know Simpsons and Family Guy have a bit of friendly rivalry going on.  Did you see the crossover ep between the two?


Yeah, it was actually a Family Guy two partner, they go to Springfield.  It had a lot of funny moments.  Hard to believe the show's been on the air for about twenty years!


Yes, It is a classic! Talking about classics remember Thomas the tank engine?


Oh yeah, I remember that show.  Bit after my time but I'm told it's really popular among autistic kids (among others.)


Yes is cute! some famous people narrated in the show, like Ringo Starr, Alec Baldwin and George Carlin


Wow, George Carlin narrated it?  That just seems so bizarre given how cynical he comes off as in his comedy shows, that he'd have anything to do with something sweet and light like Thomas the Tank engine!


well and I think did a good job because each of these guys narrated at least 52 episodes


That's a lot!  Speaking of a lot, do you know there's over 750 episodes of the show Pokemon?  That's about 50 a year for 16 years straight.


Wow that is a lot. 16 years of just Pokemon. I could not take it!


Come to think of it, that might even be MORE episodes than what we have of the Simpsons... think they were up to about 600 or so.  Course, there's a lot of episode of Pokemon we never got to see if you're outside of Japan.


Wow,remember 70's show? It was made verbatim for UK but is did not work


Yeah, think it was cancelled after only ten eps or so.  What's interesting there are lot of shows that get "imported" to the US from other countries.  for instance, The Office is a UK show that got an American version.


Ok, sometimes is a success in one place and then in another does not work!... People have been talking theses days about Kim Jong, there is a teacher's guide from N. Korea that says he learned to drive at the age of 3.


Yeah, there's all kinds of interesting "facts" floating around in that country about Kim Jong. I've heard elsewhere it's taught as a "fact" that he invented hamburgers.


It is so sad! Well it was a nice chat! Have a good one


I am a fan of the OG Nintendo, you know the one with Duck Hunt


I love it too! Do you know there is only 54 colors on it


That is sort of surprising.  I guess I remember it being really colorful looking as a kid.


For sure, I can't imagine how many new consoles have in them. They just stopped making nintendos in japan in 2003


Have you seen the rerelease that is all digital?  It is really cool.  All of the iconic games.


I have, I still need to get mine. I got the sega one and it wasn't the same. Do you watch TV?


I do every now and again, when ever I travel since I cut cable.  I always loved the Simpsons, family guy, and American dad.


Me too, I like south park too. They had a funny family guy simpsons episode


I heard they got flowers from the Simpsons crew for that one.


yea, it was so great! I was into pokemon too, there is 750 episdoes to watch


They have been on the air for about 16 years.  Pretty crazy.  I play the iphone game, but missed the rest of the craze.


I used to watch so many as a kid and had all the pokemon cards, they made a comeback but im too old now for those


They are like first editions, might be worth something if you still have them.


some were, I will have to check them out. It was like 22 years ago i think


It was the verbatim remake of That 70s show in the UK... it didnt fare too well.


I heard that, it only lasted like 10 episodes! Good chatting with you!


Hello there, I have watched South Park before, I remember watching the first few episodes ever, how about you?


ya I still watch it ive seen almost all of them, did you see the one where they make fun of family guy?


No I didn't see that one, but it sounds funny, I think the Simpsons people thought it was funny too.


oh ya they did, they sent the South Park creators flowers afterwards haha


That's hilarious, do you watch much Simpsons when it was first aired?


can't say I did, I'm more of a south park guy, but I know theres an episode where bart doesn't appear, right?


Yeah I grew up watching Simpsons I had older siblings, but yeah it must be in the later seasons because I have never seen that one.


ya I think so, I've never seen it but I wonder if they just forgot him haha


Right, have you ever seen the show Pokemon?


I have yes, i watched it as a kid, there are like 800 episodes in total now right?


I have never seen it but yeah over 750 episodes, that is pretty amazing for one show.


ya, I love pikachu, id have enough episodes to watch 50 a year for 16 years haha


Yeah is just too crazy lol.  I have some nephews who are all about Pokemon these days.


ya my friends son is too, did you watch that 70's show at all?


Yeah the first few seasons are really good, I am from Wisconsin and spent time both in basements and partaking in similar activities.  How about you?


yes I like that show, I guess they remade it for the UK, it was stopped after 10 episodes haha


I think I read that, I heard they made it verbatim and yeah it bombed pretty bad.
