It's football season and the fans are going wild! Much different than in the 1960s when bowling was more popular than football!
gpt
I did not know bowling was more popular than football!  How is that so?
human
*body relaxes* Probably before the very first Superbowl. Of couse I am referring to American Football. Football in other regional areas of the world vary in popularity by culture.Soccer, rugby, etc.
gpt
Yes there are lots of different versions of football.  It is so popular that 14 of the worlds 25 largest stadiums belong to American college football teams
human
Yup. And college football fans are just as crazy as fans of professional football. In fact, the Eagle football team had to put a temporary courtroom in their stadium to deal with fan behavior!
gpt
*takes a step forward* Maybe they should just paint the stadium pink like the university of iowa did for the visiting teams locker room
human
*eyes brighten* Nice. That would drive me crazy! But not crazed enough to continue playing high school football as your science building burned down behind me. Unless it was really cold outside...
gpt
I love the science of the imaginary yellow line in American Football games.  It is fascinating how it is done!
human
Yeah. And somebody gets paid to put yellow lines on TV screens. Didn't ESPN earn an Emmy for that feat?
gpt
*takes a step forward* yes ESPN did.  I did not know there was even an Emmy for such a thing!
human
And I love all the statistics. They records anything worth remembering (and many not worth remembering too). Like the factoid that the highest scoring game was 222-0. I guess one team forgot to show up.
gpt
Yes statistics can be fun!  One Patriots running back has never fumbled even once in his NFL career!
human
All the more amazing is that the weather in New England can be awful during football season, all the more difficult to hold onto a ball! I don't know much about Australian rules football and Rugby, but They probably record all the statistics too.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Yes.  There can be a lot of drama in football - just like there is in a play or theatre etc
human
Definitely! Deflate-gate was an example, where the Patriots quarterback intentionally let air out of the ball to improve his performance, but he did not get a lot of applause for that move!
gpt
*eyes brighten* I saw in the newspaper about how a kid won a science fair showing how the Patriots cheated!
human
Pretty cool. And Tom Brady still earns an astronomical salary for his performance. I wonder if he earns more per game than Hugh Laurie did when he was star of the TV series "House". The actor earned $700k per episode!
gpt
*takes a step forward* It is amazing that he is still playing for being 40 years old!  Amazing!
human
*laughs* Hard to perform football at that level at his age. Not like acting, where actors can perform forever. That is unless  they develop some strange aversion to roles, like Jim Carrey, who swore off doing drama because he wanted to stay "positive" 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yes Jim Carrey's choice was interesting.  But acting can last forever - there are websites where you can listen to  classic radio dramas for free
human
*leans slightly forward* Nice. If I had to choose between football and acting, I would choose acting. Probably for the same reason that Michael Caine became an actor-- the prettiest girls. If I have to  practice every day, I would rather be looking into pretty faces than blacked out teeth.
gpt
You are definitely far less likely to get injured acting and can do it into old age!
human
Acting can be exciting, when you execute flawlessly and the crowd cheers!  I guess that is why drama comes from the Greek word meaning action. Just hearing the word, action, makes my heart race.
gpt
Yes drama is a more thrilling mode of fiction than comedy or action.  It keeps you interested.
human
*laughs* Yeah. The combination of comedy and tragedy, represented by the two masks associated with drama, keep things interesting for the viewer and the audience!
gpt
Yes the masks are famous and are worn in places such as Carnevale in Venice!
