But with Patriot balls disappearing into other rooms pre-game, should be able to track where the Patriots' employee who labeled himself "the Deflator" (McNally) would smuggle those pre-game balls into...even if Brady continues to toss future cell phones away in order to continue covering up convos with "the Deflator" McNally (and/or Jastremski)...
The 32 best kickers in the world should kick at 84%
This would be a device that has mass — and for a football, significant mass. It will change the physics of the football.
What next?? Why don’t they just play football ??
I don’t think its a GPS tracker... it would have to be way more accurate than that. Probaby a transponder for an emitter/receiver in the goal posts themselves.
Still wonder why MLB doesn’t do something like this for balls and strikes.
They want the chips to simply monitor ball pressure and report remotely directly to Goodell's smart phone.
84% is meaningless unless distance is factored in.
Can they find a chip that gauges how much their commissioner sucks?
A sensor could be a lot of fun.
Air pressure/temperature
Ball speed
Rotations
We could have new stats on how fast the ball carrier is running, velocity of a thrown ball, number of spirals while the ball is in the air, height of a kicked ball, etc...
They could even track down the kid that was handed Cam Newton’s 1000th touchdown pass and Cam could trade it for an autographed ball.
I heard the Russians were injecting there football’s with steroids.
For an extra point, adjust the posts to maybe 20 ft. or force the team to go for two points.........
HaHa! Maybe this chip can also check air pressure and go into loud beeping mode when tampered with.
Ok. Maybe something against the rules was done.
But I’m a JETS FAN and EVEN I can’t believe Wilkerson got one game suspension for driving 150 with drugs and kid in car and resisting arrest?!?!?!
four game suspension for a ball???
Will these chips be colored in pink for October?
How about sensors to determine first downs? The way it’s done now is absurd.
First, the referees spot the ball. Then the chain gain aligns one end of the chain from the sideline. Several plays later, they may bring the chains out to measure for the first down. They didn’t bring out the chains to get an accurate location for the first down so any further measurements are only a guess..
BTW, if you can use sensors to measure for a first down, you can use sensors to determine touchdowns. You can also determine if receptions were in bounds.
... even if Brady continues to toss future cell phones away ...
If your employer were trying to railroad you would you give them your personal phone?
Missed field goals are exciting when your team is ahead by two points and the opponent misses a field goal with one second on the game clock. Missed field goals are also exciting when the opponent, up by six points, misses a field goal, it’s blocked and run back by your team for a touchdown.
