I think any team could win that since it is a game of the champions


The Redskins certainly will not win, it seems.


No they will not. They know that themselves. That is the result of their self-critiques in the visitors locker room at Metlife stadium


Of course, everyone knows that, Giant has always been a team with good forward and they sliced on redskin defense


The NFL actually has 32 teams/ Each year some of them are not competitive, though.


Yes and the Giants had always seem to stand out in them. They have most of their rushing total in Dec. 21, 2008. When they won Carolina


Apparently the University of Iowa features pink locker rooms.


I am not sure what you mean by that. But i will like to chip in this fact that football recorded the highest  score ever in 1916


That's so long ago. Apparently this game featured Georgia Tech.


Of course yes, it ended in a 222-0. Wow that is so huge


I have never seen such a blowout. BenJarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled.


Yes, i learnt that but i don't know if he make that much because it is a known fact that the top player from 1960 made twice as much as top football stars


ESPN came out with the yellow line on the televised field.


That is cool, it helped a lot. Do you know of a New York Giants player called Eli. The short form for Elisha


Bowlers used to get paid more than football stars.


Yes, i know that but do you pay attention to Eli, He was the overall pick for 2004 NFL Draft


He has been a decent NFL QB, born in 1981.


I have a cousin that was his great fan because of his genius level IQ


I sure do. Snoop Dogg once wrote a song for his son's team


WOw. U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


WOw I wonder if that is supposed to have some impact on the players


I wonder too. Bowlers made more than football players in the 60s


Yeah I guess it was a more popular sport back in the day


True. Do you know the highest score in college football?


Yes it was 222-0 and that was in 1916, do you know who was playing?


Yes it was Georgia Tech that made history with that win against Cumberland


Yeah. Did you know that more than half of the largest football stadiums are in the US?


Really that is amazing. ESPN won an Emmy for the superimposed yellow line


Yeah. Did you hear NFL is using tracking chips on the players now?


WOw cool. Did you know that women can play in the NFL?


Nice. THe tracking chips are being used to collect information like velocity and rotation and such


Nice, I wonder if they can use that to make the game safer


Good point. Did you know Matt Patricia used to be a rocket scientist


Wow that is such a huge career jump, amazing


I know. Do you know when the first NFL playoff game was played?


I actually do not know that, when was it?


It was back in 1932, very long ago. Nice chat


Hey did you ever watch the XFL back in the day? It was the one created by Vince McMahon I think


I never saw that one.  I only watched the regular NFL


Yes it was created by the person who created the WWE, so it's kind of based on wrestling in a way, I guess it's coming back which is interesting because I think the NFL could use some competition


Yes I wonder what they will pay the players?  Pro football players do well now but back in the 60's bowlers made more.


Yep you're right about that. I don't know how popular will be so I don't know how much money they'll make but it is interesting that the salaries of the sports have changed over time like you mentioned


Yes some players really deserve the big money - like the Patriots Green-Ellis who has never fumbled the football his whole NFL career


Yeah they should definitely pay him a lot of money, he's amazing! Have you ever watched a game on the television? The yellow line that marks the first down is actually something that was developed by ESPN and they won an Emmy for it


That is a very cool invention.  I thought the Super Bowl was boring this year but it had to have been better than the Georgia Tech win 222-0.


Yep that game would have been a blowout and very boring haha. Good on Georgia Tech though, Cumberland fans must have been very disappointed that day


I cannot imagine were still there by halftime!  Its funny despite the big salaries in the NFL an engineer usually makes a higher lifetime income


I wouldn't think that would happen youre right, what do you think about how NFL players treat the cheerleaders though?


Its awful!  New Orleans won't even let the cheerleaders in the same restaurant as a player.  What would they do if a woman ever joined the league?


Yep that's a great point! Would the girl have to not meet with the other players in restaurants? Who knows, do you ever watch wrestling by the way?


I am not a big fan,  Apparently Abe Lincoln is a good wrestler though


Yep he was really good at it, and so was the famous philosopher Plato


laugh that is funny.  Watching it in turkey might be more interesting - they douse themselves in olive oil!


That sounds really slippery haha. What do you think about Macho Man's outfit design? Apparently the same designer made clothes for Aerosmith and also Jimi Hendrix


They have some bizarre clothing.  I just would not want to arm wrestle Cyplenkov - that dude is strong!


No definitely not! Apparently wrestling is very popular though, and they have Incorporated the moves into a lot of other hand to hand combat systems which is interesting


Yes I find sumo wrestling in Japan interesting - those guys do not seem to be the most fit


Yes I could see that being very interesting to watch. they should use the tracking chips from the NFL and put them on wrestlers to better understand how they do their moves


Hi there.  I guess I will learn a bit about wrestling


So with the XFL, do you know much about that, it's new to me.


Not familiar with wrestling at all.  Although I have read 1 thing I always thought.  The sport can either be "theatrical" or competitive.


The theatrical side comes to my mind when I think wrestling.  That probably drives people that properly wrestle mad, that they are not taken seriously.


I like the turkish.  They wrestle in olive oil!!


Seems like a waste of olive oil, they should use cheaper stuff, like the budget brand from the supermarket.


LOL  The good 'ole wesson oil!!  Wonder if honest abe wrestled in oil.


Isn't oil good for a beard?  So is XFL a mixture of NFL and wrestling, or is just a lower form of football?


Don't know.  It is a football I believe.


To be honest I'm not interested in football, so I can't imagine getting excited about another league.  There must be some gimmick to get people involved?


Not much of a football fan here either.  Wasn't aware that there are no rules against females in the football league.


Maybe that will be the gimmick?  I'm glad my kids have no interest in football, I want my son to be active but not the expense of his brain.


It's a tough sport for sure.  Guess there are risks in all sports though.  Except maybe swimming.  As long as you're not with piranhas.


Maybe bowling too, were we in the sixties it sounds like there was money in it, not sure about now.


That 's  a surprising trivia fact for me.  Don't even see any bowling alleys anymore.  Was enjoyable too.


A mix of wrestling and bowling would be an interesting concept, I could see if Vince McMahon is interested.


LOL  Played in the Audi Field with car racing!!


Yeah, lets get as much involved as possible, it's like fusion cooking but for sports.  Unlike the NFL we could a written rule saying women have to play.


The year of woman..Why not?  Nice chatting with you!!


You too, I'm going to grab the olive oil, not saying what for cooking or wrestling.  Have a good day. Bye.


Are you a Patriots fan or a fan of Trump?


I'm more of a Patriots fan than a fan of Donald Trump.


Trump holds Kraft, Belichick and Brady in high regard; he has called them winners in the past


Yes, Trump like's to associate himself with anything in the popular culture that is a winner. But the Pats seem "self made" unlike the Donald.


The Patriots also know how to conduct themselves as winners and come back from behind.


Yes, I see the parallel between the Falcons - Patriots Superbowl and Trump's victory in 2016. I think that comparison is apt.


ESPN does not favor the Patriots nearly as much as Fox favors Trump


Hmmm. Yes. I never knew that ESPN was against the Patriots, but they did really pump up Deflategate. Funny that ESPN is seen as a rival of the Pats when they are based in Connecticut.


I think Deflategate was just a big distraction to other issues around the country


Sports new can be a big distraction. Did you know that the Patriots were the NFL's whitest team?


Doesn't surprise me given where they are located


I would assume that them being white is just coincidence than someone contrived.


I have been a big fan of the Patriots since Brady starting playing


I'm amazed by Brady. He's a pretty amazing story. I don't really get the Patriots "hate" (if there is such a thing) across the country.


I think it goes to the fact the the Patriots under Bellichick have won over 20 post season games and are always on top season after season


Yes. I have joined the bandwagon as a fan. I have to admit that I wanted the Rams to win the Patriots first Superbowl, though.


I was so mad when they were down to the Falcons a couple years back at halftime by 25 points. I never thought they would come back


Probably the most amazing comeback in Superbowl history. In fact, I don't know if there's been a comeback in NFL history that has been so epic.


Atlanta will never forget for sure...lol


Where do you stand - was it more of an Atlanta "meltdown" or a New England come back?


Hi there. I really don't enjoy it, but I went to a big football college in the SEC, so I'm familiar enough haha.


The SEC sure loves their football! The schools have to bring in some much money from those games.


They do, mostly from the broadcasting rights. The behind the scenes action can be pretty interesting, too--for example, the University of Iowa's visitor's locker room is painted pink.


I wonder if they thought it would give them an advantage psychologically? I can't see that working though.


If anything it's going to give the visiting team more motivation, right? I wonder if teams of the variations of football in other countries try similar tactics.


I think at the highest level of sports that athletes are so tuned in that the only thing that might throw them off is their own mistake or the refs.


Yes, for example, former Patriots QB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled in his NFL career.


That's an amazing stat and he had one of the best nicknames ever, The Law Firm.


That's certainly an interesting one; was it a reference to his offensive abilities?


It was because his name sounded like a law firm haha. The Law Firm of Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis.


Yeah, that would make for a confusing on-air name as a broadcaster if people thought it was an advertisement, especially on the radio haha.


Yes it would, it wasn't used a ton just to bring a little humor into the broadcast.


It would probably read easier on a platform like facebook--I don't think they have a character limit for names.


I've never really explored that, my name isn't very long to begin with so I never ran into that issue.


The site does have some interesting quirks; for example, the primary color is blue because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind


I remember an NFL game where the two teams wore red and green jerseys. A lot of people who suffered from that complained because they could not tell who were on what team.


That's funny--maybe it's part of why a home team wears white a lot of the time. I don't think many NCAA teams have green as a color, although a lot have red, like Ohio State.


Yeah this was a special game where they were testing Color Rush jerseys that were primarily one color. That's why so many people had trouble because there were no breaks in the color or noticeable logos.


I guess they make some choices to make things easier on the viewers; for example, ESPN actually won an Emmy for the superimposed yellow first down line shown on TV.


That was a great invention that made watching the game a lot easier! It was fun talking football with you, have a great day!


I like comedies and dramas. Not big on Pokemon though


Me neither. But some people must like it since they made 750 episodes!


I guess kids will watch anything. Have you watched That 70s Show?


I have. I heard it was remade in the UK and got cancelled!


I'm not surprised. The show was very American. Sometimes it works well the other way. Three's Company was based on a UK show.


Would you watch a show that used chickens to entertain audiences?


I don't think so. Haha. Cesar learned about chickens as entertainment in Britain.


People do a lot of different things for entertainment! Do you play video games?


I used to play. Don't play now. What's your favorite system?


I had an old Nintendo. They finally discontinued it in 2003.


Very popular system, even though it had only 54 colors. Much better than the Gameboy.


I wonder if they have video games at the White House?


If there are kids in the White House, sure. Trump tends to watch TV a lot. I don't think he plays games.


I heard the guest house is bigger than the White House itself. I guess they have a lot of visitors.


These days, guests are probably getting fast food because of the gov't shut down.


That's true! It used to be that the runner up of the election became the Vice President! That would never work these days.


I imagine a lot of fighting all the time.


Yeah, I can see that! I learned a lot from you, thanks for chatting!
