Bill Nye Patriots balls, It looks like "Bill Nye the Science Guy" isn't buying Bill Belichick's theory of what caused the Patriot's balls to deflate during the AFC Championship game last week. "What he said didn't make sense," said Nye while he was being interviewed on Sunday morning, according to The Blaze on Jan. 25.

Belichick gave a rather lengthy explanation on Saturday as to the probable cause of the deflated balls discovered after the championship game last weekend. He defended the way his team preps the balls before they enter the field.

Belichick also shared that he has expanded his knowledge on air pressure much more over the past few days than he has in his entire lifetime while being around the inflated balls. The investigation continues into what has been dubbed "Deflategate" by the media.

After a complaint was made by a Raven's player, who thought the ball was rather soft, the preliminary investigation found that 11 of the 12 balls used by the Patriots were under-inflated, in accordance to the NFL ball regulations.

"Bill Nye the Science Guy" was on "Good Morning America" on Sunday morning and he refuted what Belichick had to say about the science behind the deflated footballs. On Saturday Belichick discussed the results of an internal study, which looked at how the footballs are prepared to the liking of Pat's quarterback, Tom Brady.

According to WTNH, New Haven News, Belichick described how the balls were made "tackier" for a better grip. During this process, which entails the rubbing of the ball, it could cause a change in air pressure inside the balls, said the Patriots' coach. Belichick's attempt at explaining this science had him dubbed "Bill Belichick the Science Guy" in the media.

This prompted "Good Morning America" to get the real "Bill Nye the Science Guy" for an interview and get his view on Belichick's scientific theory on deflated balls. Basically Nye said that rubbing the ball, which is what is done to make the balls "tackier" for "Brady's liking," would not cause the ball to lose pressure.

Nye said you would need to use an inflation needle to change the pressure inside the ball. The real "Science Guy" called out the Patriots in the video above. When it comes down to it, Belichick's rubbing the ball theory didn't hold water, or in this case...air!
