good morning.
gpt
Good morning! are you a football fan?
human
Yeah I am. How bout you. I read somewhere that the nfl has no rule agains female players. What do you think about that.
gpt
Well some colleges have female kickers already, so that seems reasonable. I have to admit that I really only watch the Superbowl. My husband and son aren't really interested, so its just not on in our house.
human
*body relaxes* I watch every sunday. Im a steelers fan. My wife roots for the Patriots just to pick on me. Lol. I think a female could probably be a kicker or a punter in the nfl. Im not sure about any other positions.
gpt
My husband liked the Steelers in college. The Patriots, though...no. There's a new documentary about Tom Brady and how he combines football and religion. 
human
I just dont ee how the two mix to be honest. Except they both take place on sunday.
gpt
*takes a step back* lol. (I actually laughed out loud, by the way!) I've heard that after he retires from football he may be planning some kind of ministry that is combined with nutrition and exercise. A columnist at the Boston Globe called it a cult!
human
*leans slightly forward* I can see the importaance of staying physically fit. I just dont think it should be mixed with religion. I think he is just trying to make some extra money off his popularity.
gpt
That seems likely. We often think of NFL players as making lots of $$$, but their careers are very short. The average lifetime earnings of an engineer are actually much higher than that of an NFL or MLB player.
human
Yeah but thoe number are just of the average player. Most players dont play very long and dont make a whole lot of money in football when you think about a lifetime. They only a play a year and make like half a milion dollars. An engineer has to work his whole life for that. I think you would be better off to play football and then finish school to be an engineer.
gpt
Given the high rates of TCE, I'll take the lifetime as an engineer any day. It's weird how much trauma there is in such a short time on the field. Did you know that the average NFL game has only 11 minutes of actual game play?
human
I did hear that. Thos 11 minutes are exciting though.
gpt
Yeah. Also, an engineer would make half a million dollars in 5-8 years, so that's not too shabby. Especially when you consider that the football player and the engineer both had to go to college anyway before they got their respective jobs.
human
That is true, but if you become one of the greats in football. You will be rememberd forever. Not to many engineers can say that.
gpt
Well, some people in your own country might remember you forever, I guess. Gridiron football is mostly played in the US. I remember when my parents lived in England for a few years and they were really surprised to learn that much of the rest of the world doesn't watch it.
human
*body relaxes* Yeah the rest of the world takes soccer very seriously. They actually call it football. I
gpt
That's true. Some places like Australia use the word "football" for rugby.
human
I dont know much about rugby. I know the ball the use is similiar to the american football.
gpt
Yeah, me neither. My kid's school has a team, but I've never seen them play.
human
Maybe after that you could take me out to dinner and you can tell me all about the life of a nobleman.
gpt
Um, wow, that's...random! Nice talking to you!
