    Oops, @dopplershift noted that my Coriolis deflection was computed for the S. Hemisphere, where they don't play Am.Football.

        @neiltyson we play real football down here, and I guess our ball being a sphere affects your calculations too.

        @neiltyson there are some who play American football down in Brazil, but the only current pro leagues to worry about are in North America.

        @neiltyson @dopplershift We play Rugby though, and that has conversions. Also Australian rules football, which is all about big kicks...

        @neiltyson @dopplershift We play Rugby down here, where a drop-goal is essentially the same. So, Coriolis still wins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-x0oDzz2GU …

        @neiltyson @dopplershift Aussie rules football uses a similarly shaped ball to gridiron, just less pointy, and goals are kicked
