Sporting News: Bill Nye takes air out of Patriots' Deflate-gate explanation

(Bill Nye, the Science Guy)

Bill Nye,the global warming science, um, er believing guy?

Trustworthy source.

I understand he also explained why the Colts came back and caused all those fumbles in the second half, stopped Brady from completing any passes in the second half, and came a hair away from beating those cheating deflators after the balls were brought to regulation psi....

That Colt comeback once the balls were corrected was amazing........

“Bill Nye the Science Guy is here to let you know that temperature change wasn’t responsible for any change in the inflation of a football during the AFC title game.”

And that’s mind-blowingly stupid. It implies he has no idea - at all - of what he’s talking about...but you’ve already had that unequivocably explained to you and you are just trolling.

It is amusing though that he pronounces the ball the same without measuring it after he completes his CO2/climate change rant (which he is also wrong about).

The balls lost pressure, and he can’t tell.

The temperature drop he describes would by itself bring any football startiing at 12.5 PSI to just under 11.0 PSI. Getting the weather wet for an hour or two has been experimentally shown to allow for a stretching of a new football that would drop the PSI further. There are hundreds of such posted as videos on the Internet for your review using a variety of methods...but again, you’re just trolling.

And the funniest thing about Bill Nye’s video that you linked to, is that he disbelieves the patriots claims not because he failed to measure the pressure drop, but because he can’t feel the difference in a 1.5 PSI drop.
