Some kids make baking soda and vinegar volcanoes for their science fair projects. Others find a way to turn their passion into a science fair project.
Meet Ace Davis, a 10-year-old kid from Lexington, Kentucky who created a science fair project about Tom Brady. While kids in New England might be trying to figure out how to scientifically prove that Brady is the greatest quarterback who ever lived, Ace decided to go in a different direction. He created a science fair project that proves that Brady is a cheater.
Ace sought to prove that Brady was a cheater through science. He wanted to show that deflated footballs gave Brady a competitive advantage. On his poster, he included the results of experiments he did with his mom and sister. 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.

Each team uses their own footballs.

Made me think of this oldie but goodie.

If the refs would have called defensive holding on Browner who had Kearse by tge shoulder pads it wouldn’t have mattered...

Yeah no kidding, the science project proved this as well. They all threw farther with a deflated ball, so the other teams qb would throw farther too.
Idiots. How is it cheating if both sides get to use the same ball?
Since Deflategate, Brady’s completion % is 66.5 vs. 64% for his career. That, FRiend, is settled science!
He'd fit right in with Global Warming "scientists".
It would be an advantage if it was intentional and both teams used the same ball. If you accept that under inflated balls travel further, the QB would have to practice with them in order to develop the right touch or feel to accurately target the receiver. Otherwise he would tend to over throw them. So it would hurt the opposing QB, causing overthrown passes. It would also imply it was no accident, that in order to be effective Brady would have had to practice. What would really make a difference is a quantification of the difference. I’m sure altitude, temperature, humidity, wind, all affect passing performance too. Would a QB even notice the difference due to pressure changes amid all the other influences?
The question? Did Brady cheat?
Background research? Where the balls under-inflated?
Hypothesis? Do under inflated balls travel further?
Test with an experiment. Multiple levels of inflation thrown by different people, log distance vs pressure vs thrower.
Procedure working? Yes they were all capable of throwing the ball, the distances and pressures were able to be measured.
Analyze data and draw conclusions. Data shows that under inflated balls travel farther for each thrower. Therefore under-inflated balls give an advantage.
Results align with hypothesis.
Communicate results, well DUH, that's what he did!
Whats always puzzled me about this is, if a QB can throw a football better with a little less air pressure, why not let all teams QBs use a ball inflated to grip and throw best for them?
Are the the NFL rules intended to make the QBs less effective and efficient?
I guess football gods figured it needed to be posed twice.
A. Gimme some of your money, you dont deserve it.
Yes, this kid is a budding Democrat for sure!
By SCIENCE!

Gee, what a surprise. Dad wasn’t around to help.
Do they switch balls at every interception?
Sorry, my wording was awkward. I meant that the fact that Brady is a cheater is now settled science.
Why should they?
Everyone ignored an MIT professor, and a student at Worcester tech when they demonstrated how temperature affects ball inflation.
Roger Goodell ignored deflated balls in a Steelers game the following year.
Agreed...The Fair is about learning scientific METHOD... not just super technical topics.
