Micheal Naughten > Bill Nye
On a side note, man Bill Nye has become an attention whore lately.

I couldn't tell if that was serious or not

This is well beyond ridiculous. Getting Bill Nye to chime in on it

What a dumb news story... Bill Nye didn't even really explain WHY Belichick is full of shite.
I was curious to know.

Who decided that Bill Nye is a legitimate source for anything outside of children's programming?
No one cares about you anymore Bill, fade away with dignity.

Bill Nye should address the MIT guy. Bill is not a scientist.

1. Bill Nye is a Seahawks fan.
2. I, for one, have grown tired of making this argument but I'll rally one more time: Temperature is directly related to the pressure of gases - PV = nRT. I realize we aren't all scientists but this is accepted fact for nearly 200 years: Really Old Science. If you wanted a primer: Basic Lesson. If that doesn't work for you, try this one: will water boil faster with or without a lid on the pot? The answer is with the lid. Why? because greater pressure = greater heat - anyone ever use a pressure cooker? If you can't or won't try to understand this simple concept, fine. That may make you obstinate or a dumb arse, or both.
3. Facts are things that can be empirically proven - they truly exist. Just saying that something is a fact (x number of balls all had the exact same pressure, for example) does not make it a fact. Just like ESPN or whomever quoting 'sources' does not create a set of facts.
4. The NFL is not the Underwriters Laboratory, for heaven's sake. Does anyone really think they have some sort of scientifically established protocol that would include everything from certification of measuring instruments to licensing of testing personnel? We already know their own rules on the subject of game ball inspection/approval contain many generalities and don't even address the fundamentals of atmospheric conditions (temperature, etc.). NFL'S RULES.
5. Finally, variables, variables, variables. If you can't see how variables affect this entire argument, you may be operating according to your own confirmation bias. So, either produce evidence of facts (recorded video or communications) or go home.
