Bill Belichick's football explanation made no sense, Bill Nye says

[IDemo]

New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick claimed Saturday that "climatic conditions" were the likely culprit behind the reported underinflation of the team's footballs during last week's AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Belichick said a simulation the team conducted last week found air pressure in the balls could have dropped as much as 1.5 pounds per square inch based on the cold, rainy conditions present at Gillette Stadium on Jan. 18.

America's most famous TV scientist, Bill Nye, disagrees with Belichick's conclusion.

During an appearance on "Good Morning America" Sunday, Nye said Belichick's explanation of what may have happened to the balls "didn't make any sense."
