@neiltyson thanks for the reply! But does it matter if they kick towards one end zone or the other? Would the ball always deflect right? - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Do you think the Patriots deflated the balls w/ a needle, or explained by friction heat, temp, rain...? I'm a Pats and NdGT fan.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@fiddlinDan I don't think kick direction matters. Can assume deflection accel is f*v so that d = 0.5*f*v*t^2.@rejectedbanana?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@fiddlinDan how about the moons effect on the ball? How much does that factor in?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
