Hi, do you prefer golf or football? Odd, Babe Ruth was once America's most famous golfer. You don't see golf mixed with other sports very often.
gpt
I like both!  Did you know that the average American golf course consumes around 312,000 gallons of water per day?
human
That crazy to me, if there's any credence to climate change that's a lot of wasted water. Plus land, more area in the US in golf courses than  Rhode Island and Delaware combined. 
gpt
That's a lot of land!  There is a golf course in Dubai that needs 4 million gallons of water per day.  
human
My point on wasted water, especially if climate change drives more heat in the atmosphere. Crazy. Odd how sports have changed, you see where the Top Bowler (I assume Dick  Weber being that old) made twice as much as the top football stars? Times have changed.
gpt
Yes they sure have.  Did you hear about what the University of Iowa did to their visitors locker room?
human
I hate to admit it, but I got a Writing degree at the University of Iowa, I didn't know about that then. I wonder if that was to pysche them out, or distract them during game preparation? I'm not aware of many Big 10 championships there so it must not have been totally successful. I see that there's no rule against women playing in the NFL, do you think there will  ever be a female place kicker? I've seen some amazing female soccer players.
gpt
*laughs* I think we will see one at some point.  What do you think of the superimposed yellow first down line that ESPN created and won an emmy for?  It sure changed the way we watch the game on tv.
human
I thought Emmy's were awards for people, I hope it was to the guy at ESPN who invented it and yes does give you visualization at first down yardages. Did you see where the average engineer makes more in his lifetime that the average NFL and MLB player? There must be a lot of injury shortened and short careers to bring the big money players contracts.
gpt
My guess would be because the engineer has a longer career.  Do you know what the highest scoring football game ever was?
human
That 222-0 Georgia Tech over Cumberland, a shame they didn't have a 10 run rule like little league baseball on that one.
gpt
*smiles* That's what I call a blowout!  
human
Hahha and then some. Did you know there's only 11 minutes of live play in the NFL game. I guess that good when you think about injuries and the wear and tear on the players bodies and more commercial time to boot!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Seems like a short amount of time and yet they stretch it out to 3 hours.  lol  What do you think of the tracking chips that the NFL is putting in the players shoulder pads and footballs to track data?
human
I don't understand why they'd need them on the players, on the ball it seems like they'd be able to track out of bounds, pass the goal line and first downs with that chip. They could either check on the referee's performance or eventually make that the deciding ball placement. I see a lot of use in the tracking chip in the ball.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I agree.  Here's an interesting stat: Former Patriots RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled the ball in his NFL career.  Impressive!
human
Yes, I moved to the Boston area 4 years ago so I'm in the heart of Patriot Football and they talk about a lot of football facts year round, but I'd never heard that and that is impressive (assuming he had a normal amount of carries).I knew about Canadian Football, rugby and Austrian rules, had you ever heard about Gaelic Football? I'm not familiar.
gpt
I can't say that I'm familiar with Gaelic football.  I've never heard of it.
human
That makes two of us, how about those Saints. The don't allow their cheerleaders to dine in the same restaurant as the players and if a player comes in the establishment while the cheerleader is eating, she has to immediately leave. That seems sexist at least and maybe illegal/discriminatory. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* That seems like the oddest rule.  It's been fun chatting with you!
human
Yes I enjoyed, thank you and have a pleasant evening.
gpt
You also have a pleasant evening!
