Hello and good morning. You a basketball fan? I used to play a lot. I like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar he was very dominant. His dunk was crazy.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Yes I am a basketball fan. I follow the NBA more than I follow college basketball. Who is your favorite team?
human
Oh nice. I like the Pelicans! you? Anthony Davis was great in college. In 39 out of 50 states the highest paid state employee is a college football or basketball coach.
gpt
I am a Sixers fan. It's a shame that Anthony Davis wants to leave the Pelicans. Jrue Holliday used to play for us before we traded him to New Orleans, I enjoy watching him play.
human
Yeah true. He is gonna shake things up. Do you ever watch basketball in the olympics? USA dominates but the New Zelaland team calls themselves the tall blacks lol.
gpt
*body relaxes* I do like to watch Olympic Basketball, it's fun to watch the different styles played around the world. They took that nickname because their rugby team is nicknamed the All Blacks.
human
Oh got it. Interesting. Rugby is confusing to me I prefer American/gridiron football!
gpt
I have a few friends who played collegiate rugby so they explained some of the rules to me. My favorite variation to watch is called Rugby 7's. There are only 7 players on the field so it's a bit more open and they score a lot more.
human
Oh nice yeah I would definitely consider watching that. I think I like watching football on TV more so than live. The yellow first downline is very helpful.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I had season tickets for the first time this year, I didn't go to every game but it was a lot of fun to watch. Without the yellow line it was pretty hard to figure out if it was a first down.
human
*takes a step back* Oh that's awesome. Still fun to watch live. ESPN actually won an Emmy for creating that first down marker.
gpt
I hope whoever came up with that idea got a big raise. It really helps viewership and is easy to explain to someone who doesn't know the game well.
human
*takes a step forward* Yeah I totally agree. College football is fun to watch too. The University of Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely painted pink LOL.
gpt
I wonder if they thought that would play with their opponents minds before the game? I don't think it has worked out for them though.
human
Yeah I'm not sure? But they didn't really have a good team. High score ever in a football game was 222 to 0. I can't even imagine.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That was either a super fun game to watch or it eventually got very boring.
human
*takes a step back* Yes I bet it was boring at the end. Tim Tebow is kind of an interesting story. He was once offered an arena football contract.
gpt
*body relaxes* He was on my favorite team, the Eagles, for a little bit. He never got into a major game for us and then went to play baseball.
human
*eyes widen* Yeah kind of a sad story with him. Suprprised he turned down that contract to play as it was KISS who offered it to him.
gpt
I'm not too surprised, the Arena style game doesn't translate well into the pros. Plus the arena league has had a lot of financial hardships since it's inception.
human
*eyes brighten* Yeah that's true. It's deafly not the same as gridiron. Or Australian rules for that matter. Well it was really nice talking with you about football. I hope you have a great day.
gpt
Yes, Australian Rules is way different but pretty fun to watch. It was fun talking sports with you as well.
