I know I could not spend that much money haha or maybe I could LOL I should take a page out of Michael Caine's Playbook and chase girls with the money haha


Hello, hope you are having a great afternoon. How many cars do you have in your family? We have 1 that is old but not as old as the first car which came about in 1886!


Hi, we have too. I love cars. I think 1886 is a great year!!


I don't know much about it except that little fact. It seems that Karl Benz patented a car in that year. I assume it's the Benz as our current Mercedes Benz?


I think so too. he patented the benz patent Motorwagen.  and this year is regarded as the birth year of the modern car


I've seen a lot of Model T cars, our first made cars, but I've never ridden in one. It would be fun to get that chance.


wow, it is cool you have seen the ford's Model T, that was life changing for America!


Yes, I meant to say, the first made in America but I see you knew what I meant! I guess in the UK they call it a boot but in the US we call the back a trunk, because old cars literally had a wooden trunk on the back to store things!


I did not know  that!! Do you know about the name for the brand Cadillac?


I know that Cadillac with named after a french explorer, who also happened to have founded Detroit. Its the French-American connection.


That is right his name was Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, very ëlegant name" for an elegant car!


True, I hadn't thought of that. Other countries have funny car facts like South Africa who banned flame-throwers from cars even though they were being used to prevent carjacking. That's some serious defense!


hahah that is funny, and I think they now allow it! They have made it legal. That is crazy


Really? ! Speaking of macho things, the guy who designed macho man's wrestling gear also designs clothes for Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith and others!


Wow, that is some exotic designing.  his sport could theatrical or genuine!! either way i am not a fan!


Me neither! But apparently Abraham Lincoln was and he's in the wrestling hall of fame because he only lost 1 in 300 matches. That's a big record!


I can hardly imagine Lincoln doing that LOL! I did not know Plato was a wrestler before being a philosopher


Ha! Funny to think of what a switch in careers that was! The Turkish national sport is men covering themselves in olive oil and wrestling. I  just can't picture that. It's a little gross!


That is super gross, you are so right! I am definetely way more into football!


Me too! I've been to a few Georgia Tech games, back when I lived close to them. They hold the record for the highest score ever, when they defeated Cumberland 222-0, in 1916. Wow what a blow-out!


That is amazing, nothing like that has happened since then! I found funny how the university of IOWA painted the visiting team's locker in Pink!


Yes, I guess they are really trying to intimidate the opponents on that one! I bet it doesn't work!


Im great,, what about you? are you a fan of football?


I am well, thanks! I am a fan of football. Are you?


I am, Im a fan of the Redskins and sure envy that fan that received the signed picture of Dan Snyder.


It's been a tough few years for you... Not sure a signed Snyder pic would sooth my anger!


Yeah I guess you're right, it would be nice to have the signed picture though, it seems like the fan was happy  about it.


Yeah. That's a tough division to be a fan of. Those 4 teams seems to be competitive every year. It's tough to win it...


It is pretty hard to win, so what team is your favorite one?


I am a Bears fan. Born and raised so I really do not have a choice... DO you go to many games?


Not really I just like to watch them from home, I am really exited about the Super bowl this sunday though.


Me too (to both!). I feel like watching at home is just as good as going. Plus it's really expensive to go. And the cold!


It is and you cant watch the replay of a touchdown of foul, too expensive for only 11 minutes of live gameplay.


I know! Plus the bathroom lines are ridiculous! Watching at home is the way to go. Do you go all out on sundays?


No not really, I stay at home most Sundays what about you?


For opening weekend, I will do wings and cornbread. Usually a brisket too. I really like to grill and cook so I can go over board...


Great tradition I also like to cook and gather with friends, whats your favorite position?


I like the tight end position. I am 6'6" and can related to their size.


I see, my favorite position is Quarterback I just think the QB is the leader and after all every play goes though him.


Well then you'll love this trivia. Did you know that KEllan Moore is the only left-handed QB?


I did not know that! I thought there were at least a couple more lefties in the NFL.


Me too. My favorite is Jared Lorenzen, the hefty lefty!


He is a good player, I like Baker Mayfield he is a great quarterback and videogame master.


Did you know New york's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone


Yes! I heard that. But is it really the fastest? Wouldn't 111 be faster? Or, since an area code can't start with 1,211?


That makes a lot of sense. Did you ever have a rotary phone?


Yes! I grew up with them. How about you? Did you know that phones are designed specifically for the human voice, not just any sound?


I did grow up with them and got so angry when i misdialed at the end of a number or on a 9. So inconvenient.


Yes! That was annoying. Did you know that it's impossible to separate two phone books that have their pages overlapped together?


No i didn't. That seems odd. Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone.


Really? I hadn't heard that. I wonder how you sign up.


Not sure. The author of a games of thrones called the new england patriots the lannisters of the nfl. Seems like a really mean thing to say!


Yes, it is. I haven't watched much GoT, but that author must hate the Pats. I wonder why.


Probably a NY fan... Did you know 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.


Yeah, that sounds complicated, not knowing much about football. How would that increase the odds of winning for both teams? Why would the Pats let them score and why would they try to avoid it?


Has to do with the time and the score of the game. It's pretty rare but there are instances it makes sense. Ask Bill Belichick. Bill belichick is the winningest coach in nfl postseason football with 21 wins. 20 with the new england patriots and 1 with the cleveland browns.


Yes. Lucky for the Patriots. They got a good coach.


The cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor.


Yes. I wonder how recently they've been updated. As phone usage grows, do they add more cables? Do they ever replace them?


Who lays the cable? Is there an international phone company?


I wonder! That is a very good question. There are international phone companies now, but when the cable was original set out, who was in charge of it?


I am not sure but with the iPhone it may be obsolete. Speaking of which... An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.


Yes! But what is an ICBM deterrent? How do you deter ICBMs?


Good talking to you too! Have a good night!


Hi there! Not sure about you, but I'm a big football fan. The NFL is made up of 32 teams.


Yes I am an NFL fan, who is your favorite team?


I am a Packers fan but I like any game really. Did you know the NFL has no rule against female players as long as they can meet league requirements?


Yes, I would be worried that a female player would be seriously injured because of the sheer size difference between athletes.


I agree. Hard to believe that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay!


They need to fit all those commercial breaks in haha!


That they do! Crazy that the average lifetime salary of an engineer is higher than that of an NFL player.


Unless your a star player, you don't get the big bucks.


Yeah, that's true. Fun to learn that the NFL uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field.


There's so much data that they use to make the game more fun. It's fun to see how far they actually run when you account for running back and forth as well as what speeds they can actually reach/


Yes, I agree. They NFL even puts chips inside footballs to track velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location.


It really helps you appreciate how elite a level these athletes play at. I can only dream of making some of the throws that they make look routine.


Yes, technology really has changed the way things work. I mean, an Iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent.


I believe that cell phones also have more power than the computers that got us to the moon.


I think it's a true testament to just how much was accomplished with no computing power.


I agree. It makes it hard to believe that the cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor.


They probably make them that small since there's not a lot of risk of someone getting down there and cutting them!


I would think so. Nice chatting with you today! Goodbye.


Have you heard about the brouhaha in Panama City?


No I hadn't. It sounds quite crazy though.


I'm not sure I understand all of the story, but it sounds as if the conflict has international repercussions. Do you play an instrument?


The piano has an interesting history. It was invented by an Italian.


Yes and I think it is so simple yet complex how it makes sound caused from hammers striking the strings.


I guess before the piano the keyboard instruments plucked the strings. Why would someone put a piano on top of Britain's highest mountain? The eccentricity of the country knows no bounds.


Or how about a 356 pound grand piano on the lounge of an airship?


The one made out of aluminum? I wonder if it sounded tinny.


Probably! Piano music can be quite entertaining. In April 1930 the BBC broadcast piano music instead of reporting the news because it decided there wasn't anything newsworthy.


That was a pretty bold decision. I wonder whether any news station could get by with reporting a little bit less. They need to fill the time to keep the advertisers.


That is true. It was probably quite different back then though. Did you know there's a song just for stress testing auto-pianos?


I guess the song is needed because human beings can't impose enough stress on the machine. I've never heard the tune. I wonder who wrote it.


Good question. Have you ever tried to play?


No, I haven't. I don't have a musical bone in my body. I do better at video games.


I can find the notes and that's about it. Are you a car connoisseur?


I enjoy driving, but I don't have the money to make it a serious hobby.


My husband desperately wants to own a Cadillac. They are named after a french explorer.


Would you take a Cadillac to a McDonald's drive-thru? I guess you would if you were a soldier in uniform!


Ha, true! Course everyone does it now, soldier or not.


Greetings! Do you know much about basketball? Would you like to chat about it?


Yeah I enjoy basketball from time to time. Steph Curry is an excellent player. He was the 2015 season MVP!


He really is. He took the Warriors to the championships for the first time in over 30 years!


Pretty crazy. Curry's first name is actually Wardell...wonder why he changed it?


He didn't change it, it's his middle name. Probably goes by it because he and his father share the same name. I bet that got confusing!


Oh I see. Akron, Ohio must have something in the water because both Lebron and Stephen Curry were born there!


GOAT in the water...makes sense! Although Curry is considered the best shooter of all time, I don't know why...do you?


He is a dead eye from the three point land. So good. But he was once held scoreless!


The other team kept 2 defenders on just him...and his team still won, they must be pretty amazing.


Wow. Yeah must have been a solid team for sure. He led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975!


The Warriors were pretty darn grateful too, the next season he was unanimously voted MVP!


Yeah seems well deserved for him. In 2016 they broke the record for the most wins in an NBA season!


Quite an accomplishment, only dimmed by their loss to the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals that year.


Agreed. Then they came back with a vengeance...back to back titles!


I wonder why he doesn't make more money. He's only got the 5th highest salary on his team. Seems to me he's worth more than that!


Yeah he should have the highest salary. I mean he is credited with revolutionizing the game with his three point shot, that deserves the best payout.


You would think, after he abandoned Nike for Under Armour for their poor pitch, that he would be the kind of guy to aim higher and higher.


Yes very true. I would be so mad if they had a pitch from another players name.


Must just be a very laid back guy, unlike every politician in the lime light today.


Lol good call. I agree. can't imagine the first president of Zimbabwe aka banana would take that well.


Or the president of Indonesia...with 3 pop albums! Who undertakes so much responsibility at once? Thats just crazy!


Yeah agreed. Maybe he is trying to get paid like JFK, Washington, and Jefferson!


hey my friend do you like watching the NFL?


Of course I do, what about you? do you have a favorite team?


oh I like the Patriots, I lvoed the Superbowl this year, which of the 32 teams is your fav?


Thats cool  I like the Patriots as well, pretty happy with the Superbowl win, the NFL was formed in 1920 and the Pats have won about 6 Superbowls right?


yes I think that is correct, its wild that there is only about 11 mins of live gameplay in an average NFL game though, seems low


I now right, it does seem a lot longer than that another interesting fact is that the players have ships in their shoulders, I wonder what stats come out of them


ya they get like, locatino, speed and rotation I think, im just glad that we don't have to wear them as citizens, all that info would b scary!


It would be scary, do you  know about the rule the Saints have against their own cheerleaders?


I have heard of it and I don't like it! Seems dumb they have to leave if a player enters teh restaurant theyre in, etc,


Yeah and really sexist if you ask me, its really unfair and I think the cheerleaders should sue the team for that


yup I agree, its very outdated, seems like the kind of team that woudl but tracking chips on people even outside of the games


Yeah it does seem that way, anyway do you like the  fantasy genre


yes I don't mind it, I never play fantasy football though what about you?


I did like to play fantasy football but not anymore, you know there is a fantasy congress league, that must be really interesting or really boring


haha ya I'm leaning towards boring, just like the fantasy spelling league lol


Thats sounds really boring as well lol, I guess people will make a fantasy league out of anything really


haha it sounds like it, pretty scary though that the only difference between seeing fantasy as reality is one fold in the brain


Its a good thing we have that fold in the brain, there is a janitor that wrote a 15145 page manuscript but never published it, it was found when he died.


wow, that sounds intricate, it also had like 300 paintings, I wonder if it was really good or not?


I dont know, it was a long manuscript so there must be some good parts at least, who know maybe a movie is based on that manuscript or part of it.


ya they should do that! have you read anything from Terry Pratchett? I guess he was knighted for his work


well this must be an old article because it says the bills are in the playoffs LOL


LOL... yeah i thought the same thing... and the Browns were winless!


do you watch the nfl? This season has been wild


yeah i do... and i agree!  That's cool they use tracking chips in the pads and ball


it really is, they have so many stats from games that must be how they get some of them. which team do you like?


Eagles is my team who are part of the NFC


if i could give you a high five through the screen i would!!!! they are my team too! :D how do you feel about our big day on sunday!


Well, considering how bad the Saints beat us last game, lets hope that team has enough confidence to get through them... but the secondary still really concerns me!


yeah they are concerning. i'm trying to be positive, and looking at the saints last three regular season games gives me a SLIGHT bit of confidence. also the eagles seem to be peaking at just the right time


well... so far we are looking a gift horse in the mouth... so hopefully we can combine our luck with skill and we should have a chance!


yes! Needless to say, i'm going to be so nervous come sunday. what will you do for the game?


yeah me too!  Will be hanging with friends! funny how the first playoff game was in chicago


i know that game had me on pins and needles, i couldn't watch. i had to cover my eyes for the last play!!!


hahahaaaa... really?  iwas in shock!  Geez ben rothlisberger has the most wins in cleveland browns stadium since their reintroduction


that will change in the coming years! baker mayfield could be a real star for their team


yeah... but a QB does not make a team!  Matt Patricia is a rocket scientist!?!


he did do some amazing things in boston...


yeah true!  i guess we shall see!  I really wish they would extend the season to more than 16 games!


me too, but then think how many injured players there would be! even more than we have now which is already too many


Injuries are part of the game and part of their profession.  They know this going in, especially with the bigger they get, i think their bodies can't handle it and thats why they are getting injured more.


yeah and there are a lot of issues with brain injuries, hence the new rules this season. great chatting. GO EAGLES :D :D :D :)


Hello,  yes,  I do like drama films.  How about yourself?


I like them as well, also drama shows like House, Hugh Laurie is a great actor he eans a lot of money


Ive actually never seen that show,  any good?


Its great, I love the show you should try it out, he actually gets paird around $700,000 per episode, I wouldnt know what to do with that much cash


Im not sure, I used to watch it on TV but maybe, do you like Jim Carrey?


Yeah I love Jim Carrey.  I actually just wated Liar Liar again last night,  one of my favorites from him lol


One of my favorites as well, too bad he doesnt make dramas anymore but I have to respect his reason


Yeah,  I hear he is taking the positive roles now.  Which I think is fantastic!


Yeah positivity is a graet mindset to follow, do you like to watch TV?


A bunch.  Game of Thrones,  Westworld,  Homeland,  The flash,  FRIENDS, How I Met Your Mother,  some others too.


Those are pretty good, do you also like the Simpsons?


Do you have any favorites?  Yes,  I like the simpsons,  but I haven't watched it in awhile.


I like Arrow, Gotham and Lethal Weapon right now, and I used to be a big fan of the Simpsons, I hardly watch them anymore.


Those are good shows too.  Did you know theres an episode of the simpsons where Bart is not in or mentioned?


No I didnt know that, why would they take the star out of the show that doesnt make sense lol


It's probably just one of those things that writers like to throw in there, maybe they just wanted to see if we would notice lol I always thought Homer was the star lol I hear he had like 180 jobs on the show.


Thats really funny, Homer just kills me, his the best lol


How's it going, do you like football? Redskins rookie Derrius Guice bought his mom a car recently


yes his mom was surprised seeing the white jaguar suv


Yea that was real nice of him. Do you have a favorite nfl team out of the current 32?


derrius guice bought his mom a new jaguar suv


Did you know the NFL has no written rules forbidding women from playing? I wonder what positions they would play


yes they will mostly play the goalie  things


It's kinda surprising that an engineer makes more on average in a lifetime than a NFL player


yeah as the need for space to live has increased due to over population engineers have gained popularity and fame


It is ironic that engineers design the tracking chips that are embedded in players equipment


engineers are starting to cover places from sports to modern science. They have been improving drastically in every field, not just in sports.


yea, engineers made major improvements on video games, the first ones were called "cathode ray tube amusement devices" used by the military


yes and nowadays more complex and desirable games have been made by them like grand turismo and fortnite


Yea, Jane McGonigal claims people now play 3 billion hours of videogames a week


yes and games have enhanced so far that they are realistic like driving in a race with many tracks and cars which seem very real


Yep and video games use real voice actors now, like Jim Hanks in the toy story video game


these games have made kids very sober and they have become addicts to those games


Yea it has, theres one guy who beat 90,000 people in Gran Turismo and was able to become a professional race car driver


yes the craze for these type of games have increased a lot in youngsters and they are starting achieve many things that we couldn't at their  age


yea it is pretty crazy, like being able to put a flame thrower on you car like in South Africa


yes to avoid the cars from being carjacked they are using this method and it looks kind of cool and  like thug


Well I have to go, nice chatting with you


I love working on my car. Did you know cars have only been widely available since the early 20th century?


I mean ever since ford created the assembly line


Yeah! The Ford Model T was one of the first cars that were accessible to the masses!


They were adopted rapidly in the United States, but in Western Europe and other parts of the world it took a lot longer for cars to be accepted. I guess they liked their animal drawn carriages and carts!


There is even an island that bans motor vehicles


Interesting! I guess they don't have any McDonald's drive-thrus there. Did you know those were added in 1975 to accommodate soliders who were not allowed ot get out of their cars while wearing their fatigues!


In any case, cars are amazing. Our entire infrastructure is designed to accommodate them.


On Earth it sure is. But what happens if we move to the "Red Planet" of Mars?!


I forget is mars' gravity greater or less?


Well, I don't know about that. I do know that the atmosphere is thin, and because of that, sounds on Mars have a high pitch than they do on Earth. Funny, huh?


I want to see the sun from mars. i heard it is blue due to atmospheric scattering


Wow! I didn't know that. If you fly to Mars under constant 1g acceleration, it will only take 2 or 3 days to get there! You can go check it out!


Perhaps in the next few decades, going to mars will be a viable option as a vaction


There is a project planned to colonize mars in 2023. Do you know how they'll fund it?


I think they tried to fund it by making a reality tv show. I think they recently ended that attempt


Interesting. I know lichens and cyanobacteria would be able to thrive on Mars, but I'm not so sure about humans!


Who knows maybe if we flew them to mars, new life would evolve there


Maybe some day we'll find out! At least we know it's a terrestrial planet!


Indeed. Anyway, it was my pleasure to chat with you.


Hey, Virginia Tech had a disappointing game. It's a real bummer!


VT has a nice team. They are having a really nice season.


Yeah, but the defensive performance this season has been looking a little rough. I think they are making the corrections and trying to turn it around though. One good thing is the Cavaliers stayed behind after the last game.


I cannot believe the Cavs beat Miami. Miami had a good team that day. Surprising.


Yeah, that's so true. Coach Bronco Mendenhall said the Cavs are progress though. Always believe the coach. HA


I think that was perry's first game as a starter. They had high hope for him but he hasn't paid off yet. They also almost lost Jeff Thomas to my Illini but managed to keep him.


Yea, right. Ya know Virginia permitted just 66 yards to Louisville in its ACC opener. But despite the uneven play, they ranked third in the conference in total defense! WOW


There has to be more than one left handed QB in the NFL, right? Seems like a low number...


I know right! Left handed quarterbacks are super rare. I am loving my Baer Mayfield, he's right handed though!


He almost quit foot ball to become a gamer. Seems like he made the right choice.


Yeah, Mayfield was going to pursue gaming and thank goodness he didn't do it! He was a first round pick for the Browns.


he was picked number 1 overall and made a ton of money. He's got the browns going in the right direction.


Yes, I am a huge OU fan so it is fun to watch Baker Mayfield in the pros. He jokes about being able to beat everyone at OU at Halo 3.


I have not played that one. Do you play video games?


No, I watch a ton of football! HA. I listen to music a lot too. Freddie Mercury is on right now.


Nice. I got Pink Floyd going, division bell. Someone mentioned it and I thought that sounded like a good album to listen to.


Right on! I love music and football. Freddie Mercury actually did a duet with Michael Jackson and MIchael insisted on bringing his llamas to the recording studio! weird, huh?


You don't bring your llamas everywhere you go? Seriously, what is the tipping point where you go from a starving artist to a dude that brings his llamas everywhere you go?


Yeah, good point. Super weird and funny at the same time. Another person who collaborated with Michael was Eddie Van Halen. He played the guitar solo in the song Beat it. He even played it for free of charge. Must be nice to be rich!


I feel like MJ was a weird dude. But he did not invent the moonwalk!


I know and I totally agree with that. He was really ahead of the time when it comes to music though. He was dubbed the "King of Pop" and really became an icon. He video for Thriller was iconic and epic too.


Hi there! So have you heard about the play Cry it Out? Not sure if you know but that is a parenting technique popular with some.


It's basically about choices in child rearing, like social circles and extreme costs of raising kids and keeping up with life.


I can certainly relate to all that. I have three kids.


I can as well. No easy task. The woman that writes the plays speaks of how pre-kids she never thought about what parents go through. Her name is Metzler. She has written for TV too/


I might have to check that out. May be able to get some pointers.


Ha! She says having a baby changed her and made her look at choices like going back to work parents have.


Well that is true I guess. Having kids changes everything.


It does! So moving to another topic, I LOVE cars!  The model T was the first cars available to the masses.


I love cars as well. did you know that cadillac was actually named after a frednch explorer who founded detroit.


Nope, did not know, that's cool! Did you know the trunk of the car is called the trunk because they used to have wooden trunks on the back?


Wonder why old henry ford didnt think about people needing a place to put their stuff when he made the model t


No kidding! So, now onto other tech, TV is pretty amazing. I am familiar with the show Thomas about the train, but had no idea Ring Starr narrated it.


i was unaware of that as well. My son loves thomas though.


Did you know there have been over 750 episodes of Pokemon? Enough for 50 a year for 16 years!!


Thats just crazy. I never got the pokemon thing. Guess That is something for the younger generations.


So-so, it's been around for a long time. I am surprised with the choices on TV that Netflix is so popular and has over 130 million subscribers.


I really like netflix. I think its because you can pause and rewind and choose exactly what you want to watch when you want to.


Agreed, although I wish they got new movies sooner. Hard to believe Netflix takes 33% of all bandwidth in North America from 9 pm to 12 am! Good talking to you.


that is pretty amazing considering all the other content that is available on the internet.


I dont really know wrestling. Do you like it?


I do like it yeah, Abe Lincoln was also a wrestler.


The man was huge! I wonder how good he was. i thought wrestlers were usually shorter.


Maybe they made an exception for the president lol Plato was also a professional wrestler.


Back in those days, i bet the greeks embraced sport as essential to the full life. I think it is great to exert yourself physically and mentally.


I guess its a great way, I haven't practiced the sport personally but I think its great. Do you know who Denis Cyplenkov is?


He is the arm wrestling champion and also a body builder, he has the most densely muscled hands in the entire world.


the man must be a monster. i wonder what you do to get your hands like that. are there special exercises?


He is and I have no idea, I would be afraid to ask him lol


Yes, he could crush your skull like a peanut shell. LOL


He could and without any effort, do you like football as well?


I sometimes watch NFL. usually try to catch the superbowl.


I love the Superbowl, its so exciting, do you have a favorite player? mine is the QB


I like defense more. it is challenging to anticipate the plays of the other team.


I guess defense is also cool, a real strategist can win the game, do you know who Alex Smith is?


He is a QB and also a really smart man. He got his BA degree in just 2 years and then started working on his masters degree


Wow. that is fast. he must have a great tactical mind. perfect for QB. Anyway, great chat!


Yeah I bet smarts come in handy once on the field and I agree it was great chatting with you, goodbye.


no not really I don't like sports, I do watch football sometimes though, and I saw the superbowl, what aboutyou?


Some, I do enjoy football somewhat. THat yellow first dwon line got ESPN an Emmy believe it or not.


ya I think that was a genius invention, also genius was how Georgia Tech won the highest scoring football game of all time, 222-0! Thats a lot of points


That is. Have they ever heard of defense? Who was it they crushed?


ya they beat cumberland, I feel so bad for those fans! they must have been super dissappointed that day!


Money in the game certainly has changed also. In the '60s bowling pros mad more money than Football stars.


wow thats the opposite of today, how would you feel if you walked into a locker room and it was pink? the university of iowa actually did that to the opposing team


I'd be okay with that. Who cares what color it is. I bet Green-Ellis is payed well, having never fumbled before.


ya hes really good, I like the patriots so I'm glad he plays for them, how often do you use your phone btw?


To make calls, infrequently, to play games and surf Facebook constantly. My iPhone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear deterrent.


haha that is crazy! you'd think theyd upgrade it, have you ever put two phonebooks together by overlapping the pages?


well if you do that, you can't pull them apart! the friction holds the pages all together , it is impossible to separate them, maybe I'll try that with the phone books I have in the base


Yeah, have to get it a try. If I could even find any phone books any more. I should probably spend less time on my phone. Unicef will donate clean water to a child for every minute you don't use your phone.


ya I heard about that, I should do that to help people, have you ever made a call overseas? theres a cable that runs from the USA to Europe and it is only 3 inches thick!


That's pretty small! You'd think it would be thicker.


ya what if a shark bites through it haha! do you like the golden state warriors btw?


Not really, not my thing. Doesn't Steph Curry play for them?


yes he does, he helps a charity foundation too, when he makes a 3 pointer he donates a mosquito net to africa


I watch it a lot. Although it appears that the average game has only 11 minutes of gameplay.


Yeah it definitely seems slow paced which I dislike. I wonder how they tracked that, I know they use tracking chips in players shoulder pads and the footballs so maybe that's how they draw analysis.


Yeah, I heard that, do you think the teams share the information from the balls?


I wonder! I'm sure there's a science behind it and teams have their own independent analysts. Like I know Matt Patricia was a rocket scientist before coaching in the NFL, I'm sure that has it's benefits.


Interesting. I'm not familiar with him, was a he good coach?


I'm not sure! I'm not a huge football fan like that. If anything I'm more interested in individual players, especially quarterbacks.


Yeah, the QB is an interesting position. Did you know the huddle was developed so they could hide hand signals?


I didn't know that! That's a smart technique though, I wonder when that was invented. I know the first playoff game in the NFL was played on a dirt field, wonder if they were huddling even back then.


I think it was invented back when Hubbard played, so a long time ago.


Ahh that's fair, I bet it gave him some sort of advantage. Like Kellan Moore is the only left handed quarterback, I bet that helps him at times also.


Right? It's shocking how unique some parts of football are. Also, only two quarterbacks winning the Super Bowl have been African American, I would've thought a lot more.


Yeah, it is interesting isn't it? I would have thought a lot more, but then again the Patriots play in the bowl every year with brady it seems.


Ahah that's true, Brady sure is excellent too. Yet the distinction of throwing a touchdown pass to yourself is somehow only held by Brad Johnson, maybe Brady will one day though.


I have no idea haha, it's definitely not my realm. Are you a basketball fan as well by the way?


I watch basketball every now and then. It's just that the star players like Lebron are always concentrated with a few teams.


That's fair, I'm still a fan of individual players. Like Steph Curry I like a lot, he was sort of a dark horse when you think about it. He didn't even receive any scholarship offers from a major conference school


Really? I didn't know that. He's a great player. Well nice chatting with you.


I am a football fan, yeah, what about you?


I love football, the university of iowa is my favorite college team, they paint their locker room pink for the visiting team


Do you know why? sounds like a funny strategy


Something about psyching out the other opponent right?


Must be, really funny strategy, football has variations like rugby and gaelic football,


I would only play football, those other ones are way too rough lol. Do you know benjarvus green ellis at all?


Yeah he used to play for the Patriots right? great RB


Yes, never fumbled ONCE in his career! That was amazing because he was there a while


Never fumbled? really? I knew he was good but thats impressive


That is so good, I feel people fumble too much now. They need to take notes from him!


The Patriots usually have great players so yeah, did you hear about the Emmy that ESPN won?


Yes, I think it was the yellow line that is digital, am I right?


Thats the one yeah, I think its of great importance of the game so well deserved


As a kid I thought the line was real! It is so helpful, it would be bad without it and confusing


It would right, another interesting fact is that top bowlers used to make more money than football players back in the 60s


Man it would have been nice to be a bowler back then, I wonder what the difference is now!


The sport is not as popular as it used to be, so maybe thats it, football has become really popular


I agree, that is a valid point. Did you hear about the game that was 222-0?


I did hear about that game, I thought it was an impressive win, it was back in 1916 right?


Yes, crazy game I would have quit after 100-0! Good chatting with you!


I do! I am a big eagles fan, what about you?


I watch it from time to time but I am not a fan per say.


I think there is a lot of interesting stuff that happens in the nfl. Baker Mayfield almost stopped playing football to play Halo 3 competitively


and apparently you can play if you are a woman too


I have heard that! Some players are very smart, Alex smith started college in his junior year from all the AP tests he took


I know, he graduated in two years. talk about talent and brains. good for him


He recently had a very bad leg injury which is unfortunate, hopefully he will recover fully


I hope so too. did you know about new orleans cheerleaders not being able to dine in the same restaurant as the players?


I have heard of that, why do you think that is the case?


I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish with that really. they let women play in the game but they cannot dine together. strange


Do you think maybe there was an incident that prompted it? Sort of odd for the saints to be the only team with that rule


It could have been too so now they want peace of mind about it. did you know in an avergae game there is only 11 minutes og gameplay


I have heard that as well, that is very crazy since the game is like 3 hours


I know. we are stuck to the tv for so long. and they do not make great money either.


I have heard engineers make more in their life than most NFL players, that is crazy!


yeah it is crazy, i heard one nfl player turned to teaching to make ends meet


that is sad in a way, they put their bodies on the line to make other people billions, but they can sometimes not get by


I know  so sad. do you know kellan moore?


apparently he is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl


Wow, I know Vick was left handed, I guess he is the only current one, good for him!


Yeah pretty cool. SO you listen to music much?


I do, I listen to almost every type of music!


some movie soundtracks are so cool. nice chatting with you


Hello, I'm great thanks. I love dogs. What about you?


i love dogs too. i dont have one. but i wish i could get one. i aint got no space for a dog.


Did you know there are 12 different blood types for dogs?


i did not know that. i think that dogs are amazing creatures. do they have blood drives?


Apparently, they do have blood drives which is really cool.


i would love to see one. i hope that the little fellows get plenty of treats for being so good.


For sure. In Istanbul, they have vending machines that dispense water and food for stray dogs in exchange for plastic bottles.


that is awesome. that is good thinking too. that person understood that dogs are quite smart and can learn knew things to help people and themselves. great!


For sure. Dogs and elephants are the only animals to understand pointing.


are elephants as smart as dogs? maybe. are they as good as pets? well...no.


I guess they might be. Did you know Google prefers dogs to cats and considers themselves a dog company?


that is a good thing in my book. i think that more companies should follow google's example.


I think so too. Dogs are actually not colorblind. Did you know that?


i figured that they must see some color. i dont know how much better human vision is though. their sense of smell is great though.


yes, i do like the radio. i dont think dogs like the radio though LOL do you like the radio?


LOL - I love the radio. I listen to it everyday.


i used to listen when i was young. it was the best entertainment. you could do other things at the same time.


I agree. Jupiter has radio storm so strong they can be heard on Earth.


i wonder what they sound like. maybe the dogs can make sense of the storms because i sure cant LOL dogs do like to watch tv though.


haha good point. It was a pleasure talking to you. Take care.


I love dogs. They really get to know you.


Me too and so does Google, they have proclaimed they are a dog company!!


I did not know that. The internet is bigger than TV and Radio combined.


That is true, I hardly watch TV but I remember  different shows I watched, like that 70's show,


Yeah. You can watch all the episodes of The Simpsons on the internet whenever you like, even the one with no Bart.


that is weird, but love to watch them from time to time. I would not watch pokemon, even if they have 750 episodes!


I wouldn't watch Pokemon even if Ringo Starr narrated it. I would listen to the Beatles on the radio though.


lol, I do not think Ringo would do it either, but he did narrate Thomas the Tank engine!


I wonder if Alec Baldwin's narration for that show sounds like his Donald Trump impersonation?


It would be good to check! but they did at least 52 episodes, It must have sounded good!!


Maybe if he did it with a Canadian accent he could get played on Canadian radio. They have a 40% Canadian quota there.


That is a high percentage and that is by law. But at least is understandable, imagine if it was in a language like latin


You'd have to go to Finland for that. But it's all Greek to me.


And it is broadcasted since 1989,there must be someone who actually listens to it!


Probably that's where Bart Simpson was that one time.


That is a posibility, but very remote. You know that I learned that in turkey, in Istambul you can find vending machines for food and water for dogs and they take plastic bottles as payment?


They should be free. Dogs help humans in many ways and don't charge anything.


Thy are man's best friend, they deserve our care and respect


Yes, they should not go the way of the extant gray wold.


I do not think they will ever be extinct, did you know dogs and elephants have something in common?


You got it , they seem to understand pointing. Well , it was fun chatting with you. Have a good one


I do like mini golf as well, watching the sport is a bit boring though


Watching Babe Ruth might have been fun. He used to be the most famous golfer in the USA.


He was? Babe Ruth as in the baseball player Babe Ruth?


Yes, I believe so. It might have been after his baseball career and I'm not sure how good he was. Samuel I. Jackson thinks golfing is important. He has a clause in his film contracts so that he can play golf twice a week.


He must like the sport a lot, golf courses consume a lot of water,


Yeah and that sounds terrible espeically because Gold courses in America make up more land space than Rhode Island and Delaware together.


They consume a lot of water aroud 312,000 gallons so yeah terrible, and that is crazy they also take up a lot of space


I wonder, if most presidents play golf. In Indonesia I don't think the president does because he is so busy releasing his pop albums while in office. Haha.


Thats funny! I bet he doesnt lol, good thing his busy with pop albums and not creating controversies with the media like Trump


Haha I guess, the music albums must keep him busy! Speaking of Trump, I think this list was probably written before he became president but the top three richest presidents in American history were JFK, Washington and Jefferson. I'm sure it accounts for inflation.


Yeah Trump must be on that list, maybe he is number 4, JFK did have a lot of money so makes sense he is #1


I can't imagine having a lot of money and still wanting to be president. I think I'd rather chill on a beach somewhere. Or maybe be a guest in the president's guest house which is larger than the white house.


Yeah being the president isnt an easy job the critics are everywhere, I would like to travel around the world


Would you go to Zimbabwe? They called their first president president banana. Not sure what the story behind that one is.


I guess his parents must have really liked bananas. I can't think of any other explanation.


Haha. Speaking of traveling, I would love to go to Canada. There, all radios need to have at least 40% of their music played be Canadian.


I guess thats a good law, local talent needs support to grow thanks for that cool fact and all the other great facts, its been awesome chatting with you friend


Nice chatting with you! Speaking of Canadian music, guess I'll go listen to some Celine Dion right now!


Thats a great idea I think I will do the same thing now, have a good day, bye.


I have played golf but I don't really like it haha. What about you?


I love playing, but we mainly play to drink beer and smoke cigars.


Are you good at it? It's interesting that the modern game of golf was invented back in 15th century Scotland


No, I completely suck and so do all of my friends. LOL


Haha well at least I don't feel so bad, did you know that Babe Ruth was actually an incredible golfer


Yeah, he was also really good at baseball, was a pro golfer?


Yep that's the same guy. One thing I don't like about golf is how much water it uses, the average golf course uses about 300,000 gallons of water a day


WOW! That is a lot. I heard there is one in Dubai that consumes 4 million a day. Crazy!


Yep that's a big waste of water haha. Golf courses actually don't take up that much landfill, all of the golf courses in the United States would make up Delaware and Rhode Island put together


Interesting. Did you know the First President of Zimbabwe was called President Banana?


No I didn't know that. You think that's his real name? It's crazy to me that the White House is actually smaller than the guest house next door to it LOL


It's his real last name, that I know for sure.


Wow well that's a cool name. can you guess the top three wealthiest presidents of the United States?


No, who are they? I know Trump's wiki says he is the richest.


I'm shocked he's not on the list. Actually its JFK, Washington, and Jefferson


Interesting. Maybe they are fake facts or outdated, who knows. Did you know the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office?


No I didn't know that. I also didn't know that before 1805, the runner-up in the presidential election would become the vice president, talk about awkward


That would be so awesome if that is how it worked today. Hilarious!


LOL it would definitely be a great reality show LOL do you ever watch the news on the radio by the way?


Not really, I take a train to work. Nice chatting with you!


Not really haven't heard any of his music. Isn't he with Riahna?


You mean dating? No they are not dating. Did you hear the song Hotline Bling?


I have not heard any of his music. I know he was born Aubrey Drake Graham in October of 1986.


He was. Well that song is actually sampled from a 1972 hot titled Why Can't We Live Together.


didn't he also make a mixed tap, room for improvement along with two other releases comeback season and so far gone?


I believe what you are referring to was called More Life. Did you also know that he did not officially graduate high school until age 25? I'm glad he made it a priority after success.


Yeah that was a good sound decision. Has he won any Grammy's do you know?


I believe he has won 3. Off topic, do you enjoy football?


I do, don't get to watch much anymore though. How about you? Did Drake do a song with Emeniem?


Eminem did a verse on a Drake song. Yes I do enjoy football. Engineers make more in a lifetime than football players. Which career would you choose?


Well for me i'll take 10-15 years and millions/retirement even though 40 plus and millions is respectable. How about you?


I would choose the engineer route. I wouldn't be risking injury and dealing with as much pain later in life.


I hear you like  i said respectable i guess i still want it all right now, lol. I hear Drake has a university named after him.


Ha ha. Well Drake University existed long before him. But I guess they had been begging him to visit and he hadn't so he showed up in the middle of the night. I'm sure they were extremely excited.


I bet! You know there is only one left handed quarter back in the nfl?


I did not. You would think there would be more but I can't immediately recall seeing a QB throw with their left hand.


The only other one i can think of is Michael Vik who doesn't play anymore.


It's been so long since I saw him play that I didn't remember that. Do you know why they circular huddle came about?


I just assumed it was so the other player couldn't see what the quarterback was doing.


It is technically. It was created by a deaf QB so that the other team could not read his hand signals. Nice chatting with you.


What do you think about the new plan of the Trump administration? do you think it could work.


I don't think it's going to work at all. For one thing, he's only implementing it on TV. What about the other mediums?


Yeah I agree, I think the fight against drugs is a hard one and needs a bigger action, I am worried about the side effects it can bring.


I'm worried that the consumers are not as informed about drugs and prescriptions. Also, many people cannot afford health insurance, so even with lower drug costs, they may still be too high.


I think that lowering the price on drugs will make the people consume more and wont change things it all, it will only make things worse.


What do you think is the problem we need to address then? They're not talking about illegal drugs, it's about prescription drugs.


Oh I see, I misunderstood it, and well then lowering prices can be a good thing, but I do agree resources should be focused on better insurance coverage.


I think private insurance companies and government programs like Medicare should work together to provide the best coverage for people, and not focus so much on making money. Generic versus name brand is just a label at the end of the day, what matters is whether or not the treatments and medications work.


I agree generic treatments are usually equally effective than the name brand products, the big issue here is how to bring those prices down, this has been a problem since Obamas administration.


I agree, the insurance companies want to make money and they're not going to lower costs on something that they know people need. I think the government should step in and enforce some laws.


We're on the same page, some sectors of the government and some people might not like that but we have to protect everyone, did you know that in Nevada 86% of the land is actually owned by the government.


I did not. In 2008, the Norwegian government donated $1 billion to save the Amazon rainforest. What if our government did something like that to help with medical costs?


That would be an excellent approach, not only our country but the top 1% can help, maybe even Trump can donate money for the cause.


I totally agree! However, the top three wealthiest presidents in American history were president a long time ago, so I don't know how much money Trump.


I heard that his guest house is bigger than the White House though.


I don't think that was on purpose though. I bet the guest house was built after the white house. I wish he had a cool name like the first president of Zimbabwe, who was called Banana


He should start working on a pop album like the president of Indonesia!


It would be cool if he hiked to the peak of Mt. Everest, they have 3G cell service and internet up there!


Do they? thats crazy, how can 3G signal get up there but it would be cool if he addressed the nation from there.


I don't know how it works but it's so cool! The current library of Alexandria also has a saved copy of the Internet in case it burns down.


I think thats a good idea, terrible things would happen if the internet went down, I dont even want to imagine it.


Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment and current political news.


Indeed, but what do you think  about television personally ?


It's a mass entertainment medium, it attracts all ages, mostly children and kids are always watching it. It occupies most of their time.


I enjoy watching television, mostly drama and comedy, some sketch show like SNL for time to time. DO you enjoy watching SNL ?


I enjoy watching serials. It's very interesting to know next details about it. Nowadays teenager are on mobiles, they have no time to watch it. In olden days football matches were watched on TV. Its very amazing.


Have you ever watched the Simpsons ? It is a very popular show, there are more 400 shows.


Yes, Do you like pokemon ? The serial has been run for more than 2 years.


I am too old for Pokemon, even when it first came out. What do you like about Pokemon ?


It is Japanese anime serial. It is based on nintendo's video game series.


So, you like video game based serial ? I prefer dramas, even old one like Shakespear's plays.


It's very funny. Which are your favourite plays?


I like Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare is so good that only one of his play has not been on film or on television: The two noble kinsmen. That is incredible.


It very amazing ! No words to describe it. It is all time favourite to many of the world.


Indeed. Do you like Shark Tank ? the show where people pitch business ideas to potential investors.


Earth is the third planet from the sun in the solar system. The gravity of the sun holds the entire solar system. Mostly all the planets revolves around the sun.


OK. If you like facts, I was surprised that the density of the Earth is 4 times of the Sun, which is surprising and not surprising since the Sun is a ball of gas.


Mostly 71% earth surface is covered with water remaining 29% is land. The entire polar region is covered with snow.


Would like to go in Antarctica ? I would, it is so remote.  It must be peaceful.


The place is not suitable for human to live.


But there are research bases there ? I bet, Billy Graham would go preach there if he was still alive. Bye


What should Trump do about Iran's love of nuclear weapons? Personally I think The Obama Administration failed to act appropriately and by dragging their feet The USA's foreign relations are a hot mess now because of the lack of action for 8 years.


Everything he can to stop it.  I agree, Obama didn't seem sufficiently worried about the Iranian government aquiring nukes.  I am glad to see that Iran is revolting against their gov't.


I think Trump is great lol. I disagree with the idea that the USA is now toxic.


He's done a great job although it is seldom reported by the media. Trump should use the internet even more with inter-linked hypertext docs and more apps.


lol you're right - With a guest house larger than The White House I'd move in and teach him how to do so for free. :D


You could move to Iran.  The unrest there is country-wide.  I'm sure you could find something nice.


Nah. I've been to Utah and Nevada and that was close enough for me - Especially Utah. Nevada on the other hand... Did you know 86% of the land there is owned by The US Government?


Hee. Yep, BLM land... I think it's interesting that a study showed that nonviolent civil resistance is much more successful than violent ones (53% vs 26%)


Which really makes me wonder why in 2006 it became OK for US Government Employees to violate The Geneva Convention... Violent acts by Democrats are apparently acceptable.


That is weird.  Like the 1st pres of Zimbabwe was called "banana"


I wonder what "banana" translates into in their language... And I also wonder how someone in France could "sell" The Eiffel Tower TWICE. How does that happen?


I bet the Brooklyn Bridge has been sold a few times.  It's like U.S. foreign policy, the U.S. tries to buy democracy.  Our direct meddling, like in Iran, is toxic.


I'm sincerely happy The USA nixed the idea of the runner up in POTUS elections automatically become VP. Can you imagine the chaos The USA would be in if Hillary Clinton had not gone on to NY State instead?!


Can you see Trump working with Hillary?  I don't think they'd get along.


Yeah. I doubt she'd follow the email policies too. I bet the Library of Alexandria has saved copies of Hillary's emails. They allegedly have an entire copy of the internet saved.


I'm pretty sure she, eventually through pay-to-play would have beat out JFK, Washington and Jefferson as one of the top 3 richest presidents had she been elected.


You got that right. On the bright side, I doubt she'll ever be back in The White House to take tips from Indonesia and further embarass the country with her own pop album.


I wonder what she'd call her pop album? Anyway, she would have released all sanctions against Iran while furthering Obama's will to give Iran nukes.


LOL! Maybe she could have Pelosi do a drunken freestyle rap on one.


Pelosi is actually a Disney Animatron programmed by the DNC and connected by 3g.


I had no idea there was 3g service at the peak of Everest. I can't get service in the middle of Target at sea level.


Me either.  Some say Obama made concessions to delay Iran getting nukes.  More like he paved the way for them.  Delay?  He could have let Israel destroy their nuke making sites.


I wouldn't have minded having 8 more years of George W instead of Obama. It'll be interesting to see how Trump and Kim Jung Un's next visit goes. I heard they'll meet up in Vietnam. Wonder if Dennis Rodman and Jane Fonda will show up to protest?!


A lot of Americans are increasingly critical of celebrity leftists and their photo-op protests, just as a lot of Iranians are increasingly critical of Iran's legal code.


Wonderful analogy. As a music fan I really want to watch the Grammy's tonight but I just cannot handle the Hollywood spin on politics.


How many "Oh We Are So Great" award shows are there for the Hollywood crowd?  I think they should be sent to Nevada to hoe weeds in that 86% land with the big gov't they so love.


Speaking of Hollywood, I hear about the Kardashians way more often than I'd like to.


They're not my favorites either. I really need to go. Great talking with you.


Hello there, do you listen to the radio much these days?


Hi, how are you? I used to listen to the radio as a kid, but I don't listen much now. How about you?


Yeah I don't as much but still do when driving to and from work.  I like the local station I have here.


I usually go on the Internet. Usually Youtube to find music that I liked. I think radio is good for talk shows though.


Yeah I use YouTube all the time as well that is really good for music.  And I agree, the radio is great for those.


DJs can be pretty cunning. A Hanson song became a most requested  on a Chicago radio station because DJs did not reveal the band. The mystery got people interested.


That is pretty interesting just to learn about.  Did you know there is a website where you can listen to tons of old radio dramas for free?


I gotta wonder about the average age of the visitor. If they're elderly, I guess they are nostalgic, but probably don't use computers like young people.


Yeah I think that is probably true.  But it does give those access who have never heard many of them.


Old dramas probably had to be pretty inventive to attract an audience. No visuals, just voice and words.


That is true imagine how creative you had to be to only have that medium to use.


Still, some voices dominated the medium. Bing crosby recordings filled over half of the radio time allocated to recorded music in 1948.


There are times when i wish I would have grown up then and been able to listen to those live.


He was a great singer. There is a radio station that turns solar activity into sound. Probably better than a lot of the Top 40 music now.


Did you that the president of Indonesia has released three pop albums while in office?  I wonder how hard he had to work to get radio play with those?


I bet he passed a law that the songs have to get played.


Yeah or a law that says you have to buy all of my albums.


In Guatemala, there's a law that close relatives of former presidents cannot run for president. That law should be passed in every country. In Indonesia, the president's kids would have to give up their dreams of a music career too.


Yes, I can agree with you on that.  Yeah they would, that is true as well.


I didn't know that Congress or the president can declare someone an honorary citizen. I wonder what rights they get as honorary citizens.


Yeah I wonder too, maybe just for a day or something.  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good one.


hello,  did you know the presidents guest house is bigger than the white house?


I did not know that.  He must really be a good host then


lol maybe.  Im sure there are people for that.  I doubt he entertains them himself.


Well he is rich so he probably knows how to throw a party.  Other rich presidents were JFK and Washington


Thats cool.  I hear the president of indonesia released 3 pop albums lol


I know right,  running a country and doing concerts.


I think Trump is too busy with China and North Korea to be recording any albums


I hope he never releases an album lol although he hasnt shown any musical talent so I think we are safe.


He prefers to express himself by Tweeting about Pakistan


Yes,  looks like he has a hobby already.


He does enjoy giving ultimatums, wanting to win


yup.  did you know there are are 3 subway lines for congressmen to move between the capitol,  the house, and the senate?


That way they can avoid Washington DC traffic


I wonder if they use the subway to go to their annual baseball game between Democrats and Republicans


hmmm probably!  I hear the first woman was elected to congress before she even had the right to vote in national election?


I bet that was an interesting election campaign


lol right.  Elmo is the only non human to testify before the us congresss lol


Hi, i use it but I don't think I am much of a fan.  Are you a fan?


I'm in the same boat.  I only use it to stay in touch with a few people and I could care less about all the other garbage on there.


More people should be like that. I've heard that of all the divorce filings in the country back in 2011, a third of them mentioned facebook.


It is shocking isn't it?  It's really shocking when you think that there are more people on facebook than there were people in the world 200 years ago.


I've worked with a few people who got themselves in to trouble on there.  I can't believe that company was valued at $104 billion when they had their IPO in Feb. of 2012.


Especially since they make most of their money off of advertisements.  I guess companies pay quite a bit to advertise on our facebook screens.


I agree.  Did you hear about the Burger King Facebook promotion they had?


Burger King would give you a free whopper for every 10 people that you would unfriend on Facebook. lol


That's kind of funny!  I wonder how you proved you unfriended people to get the free burger.


I'm not sure, but I know I would have racked up quite a few free whoppers.  lol


You and me both!  I'd have no problem with that at all lol!  Have you ever heard that the like button was originally going to be called the awesome button?


I didn't know that.  I see thoug that the like button is illegal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.  I wonder why?


That is odd. I could see the anger/angry button being illegal but not the like button.  Maybe they think people are liking things they shouldn't like in the case of all of the divorce filings.


lol Maybe.  This is interesting...Facebook is primarily blue because Mark Zuckerburg suffers from red-green colorblindness.


i never knew that. Truth is though, I've never really thought about it. I just kind of blindly accepted it as the color and never questioned it.


I noticed it but never gave any thought as to why it was blue.  lol


Did you know that facebook has 58 gender options?


That is definitely quite a bit.  I've heard too that something like 30% of american adults use it as their primary source of news.  That being said, I'm going to go watch news on tv and not facebook.  It's been nice chatting with you!  Have a great day!


Yes I do but not very often. How about you? I feel like I spend more time on it still. So hopefully BK brings back the promo where if I unfriend ten people I get a free Whopper.


That would be great for me too, could get a few whoppers that way.


Or make the like button illegal, like it is in one German state.


I wonder why that is, I mean it is not like it is a dislike button.


Yeah, I'm not quite sure. Did you ever use Myspace? I didn't want to switch over to FB because I thought FB looked boring. FB is mostly blue because Mark Zuckerburg has red green colorblindness.


I did use Myspace, I think after facebook ironically enough.  What an oversight on their part to not buy facebook.


Yeah, they could have bought it for $75 million and now it's worth over $104 billion.


Most of that income comes from the advertising on the site.


Yeah, it is interesting that FB even allow marijuana advocacy and education in advertising on their site.


I find that they are pretty progressive with some of their policies.  Then sometimes they reject before and after fitness ads because they feel it is targeting people improperly.  lol


Yeah, and it seems that sometimes brand ads relating to marijuana get shut down unexpectedly on social media. FB and Instagram don't allow promotion of marijuana sales even though they allow information, not connecting to a product for sale. Seems like that's a tricky space to navigate.


Well it isnt legal everywhere, so allowing it is likely tricky in terms of sales.  They would likely have to check for dispensary and stuff like that.


For Instagram there were 16 accounts by Maryland cannabis sellers that had been wiped out. 11 were appropriate removedbut 5 were in error. Businesses are advised to closely follow the guidelines but I guess it's not always that easy.


As someone who has worked in social media advertsing it isnt easy.  Something you think is harmless and totally legal will get flagged for wrong reasons.


There was one medical cannabis provider that got their account up to 10,000 followers then they were shut down in error on Instagram. Sounds pretty aggravating.


It must be, they work hard to build that fan base.  Often spending a good amount of money to get their name in front of people


Yeah, and they can't desseminate this information through the tv so they rely on social media  lot.


Do you think in the future it will be similar to beer and other alcohols?


I hope not. I think marijuana is much less harmful than beer and alcohol, and even beneficial to some people's health.


I meant in terms of advertisement and consumption.


I was thinking about how there are restrictions on alcohol and cigarette advertising in some places and was trying to compare. Anyway, I've got to go now. Have a good night!


Hey there how often do you watch television?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Interesting. Do you know what team it is?


No,  its a high school football team lol


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


yeah I bet Cumberland will never forget that game.


how about espn inventing the yellow line?


Did you know in 1960 bowlers made more money?


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


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


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


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


How about alex smith, he entered college as a junior


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


Did you know Baker Mayfield was a competitive gamer?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


That is exciting and the QB has a lot of responsibility


Yeah, I admire Tom Brady's leadership skills


Nice Chatting!  Good luck to Brady at the Superbowl!


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


How are you today? You follow football much?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Almost half of the largest stadium belong to american college teams


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Hey there how often do you watch football?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I am great this evening! How are you doing?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Thats awesome,  work must be good then lol


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah thats weird lol must be some tactical strategy.


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


Right that Georgia tech loss is brutal!!!


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Wow! Did you hear about the stadium in texas?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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