How are you? Do you watch Football at all? Charles Snowden recently led the VA Cavaliers over Louisville
gpt
I can't say that I am much of a football fan. It seems like a very different game depending on where in the world it is played though. 
human
*hands at sides* Yea, I guess in the US it's known as gridiron around the world. I guess Snowden is a good player in basketball too
gpt
Strange that he would play both. They seem like they would require drastically different sports skills. 
human
Yea but I guess it doesn't matter as much at the college level, plus he played basketball for Coach O.J. Johnson who use to play football as well
gpt
A good coach makes all the difference in the world. I am surprised that more former pros don't coach especially since they really don't make as much money as people tend to think they do. 
human
I guess most former players aren't into recruiting players, I know VA coach had to rebuild his football program, must of been stressful
gpt
Stressful but lucrative if you are good at what you do. The sponsers seem to want to follow pros that have had good careers. Especially if they are known for something like highest rushing yards or biggest lineman or never fumbling. 
human
*hands at sides* Yea but coaching wasn't always lucrative, at least not in the 1960s, the top bowlers made twice as much as the top football players
gpt
*lips slightly parted* I wonder if that is because they have a longer career. It seems like with all the injuries that football players no matter where they are just can't keep going for long. 
human
*relaxed posture* Probably has something to do with football not being as popular in the 1960s and individual bowlers probably made more money winning competitions

I feel bad for the players on teams that just aren't good. It isn't always the fault of the players either. Look at the superbowl this year. 13-3 is just bad. Of course not nearly as bad as the record holding 222-0 but still. 
human
Yea 222-0 is pretty bad, I'm not surprised no one has come close to score as much as Georgia tech did back in 1916
gpt
At a certain point during a game like that you almost want to just call it. I would expect scores like that out of basketball games not football. 
human
Yea but they had loopsided scores like that in basketball years ago. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was so dominant in college that they banned the dunk for over a decade because of him
gpt
I don't understand the love of the dunk. Yeah it looks sort of cool but the skill level is so much higher when it comes to 3 pointers. 
human
Well I guess the dunk was pretty impressive when few people could actually reach the hoop 10 feet up
gpt
That's true. A good vertical is important in basketball. I wonder if they lower the hoop in WNBA or if the women are dunking at the same level. 
human
I don't know the exact stats but im pretty sure the hoop is lower than the NBA's 10 feet and the diameter is larger than 18 inches
gpt
It seems like it depends on where in the world the games are located. I think in America it is more about showmanship than game skills necessarily. 
human
Probably. I wonder what it's like in New Zealand, they have a basketball team nicknamed the "tall blacks" lol
gpt
Seems a bit risky to say that given the racial tensions of the day. But if they gave themselves that knickname it isn't so bad.
