A 10-year-old kid won a science fair by proving Tom Brady is a cheater

But will the NFL do anything about it? :P

If a deflated football gave Tom Brady an advantage, then how does one explain the Indianapolis Colts / New England Patriots game several seasons ago?

In the first half of that game when the Patriots were supposed playing with an under-inflated football, the Patriots sucked.

They came alive and scored a number of touchdowns in the second half when the refs replaced the supposedly under-inflated ball with a fully inflated one.

Haters gonna hate.

Not a science project at all. Would have gotten an f from my science teachers.

[null and void]

Are you denying SCIENCE!?

Especially if the school was located in Foxborough.

Each of them threw footballs of varying inflation, and he measured the distance of each one and calculated the average. He found that the least inflated football traveled the farthest, therefore giving Brady a competitive advantage.

If the opposing team took possession of the ball they would have the same advantage.

It would only be a guaranteed advantage if you never lost possession of the ball.

If those science teachers were in Seattle...he’d have gotten an ‘A’!

”Are you denying SCIENCE!?”

Yep, settled science: Brady’s a cheater.

Why? It starts with multiple undemonstrated assumptions under unlike conditions. Nothing in that identifies whether any of the methodologies are appropriate, nor its predicates correct.

By the way - unless the NFL did some funky stuff, Mahomes played the 2018 AFCCG with deflated footballs - considerably more deflated than the 2014 AFCCG.

The kid didn’t prove anything with regards to Brady, but Yahoo proves once again that it sucks.

(Sigh!)

That young kid is going to have a great future at ESPN.

That said,see ya a week from Sunday,Bags.

A true science experiment would have to be a lot more controlled than a human tosssing the ball. You would have to create an apparatus that throws with the same force each time. This was a bogus experiment! Another common mistake science fair experimenters commit is using a very small sample(ie. throwing the ball only 6 times, etc,)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Science.”

[Bullish]

He found that the least inflated football traveled the farthest, therefore giving Brady a competitive advantage.

Did he go on to consider that both QBs were using the same footballs with the same amount of inflation, thereby giving both of them the same edge?

Not to mention that he’s already been punished for the League officials exposing themselves as idiots in this particular case.

Be real, this is a totally UNscientific b.s. project. Doesn’t reveal anything except an ignorant 10 yr old and gullible/ignorant adults.
