Fun Facts: Tossing Around The Football

Life is mostly about the pursuit of knowledge and, therefore, the collection of fun facts. All my fun facts were harvested personally … They started as a physical book purchase from Amazon, then moved to a Kindle download where I bookmarked them by hand; at the conclusion of a book they were transcribed into a Snoopy Moleskine, and finally, they appear here for your personal wonderment.

These invisible guys got drafted before Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL draft: Chad Pennington, Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redmon, Marc Bulger, Tee Martin, Spurgeon Wynn.
Green Bay, Wisconsin is one of the most Catholic regions in the nation. In Lombardi’s day, there were two Catholic high schools, ten Catholic elementary schools, sixteen churches, forty-two-weekday masses and ninety-four masses on Sunday with the first being at 4:30AM.

And Now, NFL Action From The Blimp

Did you catch the game that the NFL televised almost completely using the SkyCam? Companies like the NFL do these kinds of things from time to time in the name of progress. They experiment with their product, in essence, change the recipe, hoping that a handful of people who wouldn’t normally be interested might buy or watch. When the NFL decides to change the way it televises games, when Coke decides to change the ingredients in its cola, what they’re really saying is “getting new customers is more important than satisfying my existing customers.” That’s a miscalculation.
