Considering they still don't have dedicated cameras on the fucking end zone lines, it's not surprising they haven't rigged up the footballs. Billions of dollars in revenue and they can't even swing a few thousand dollars for cameras to make it conclusive whenever someone crosses the goal line.

Patriots aren't going to be able to blow their nose without some one double checking their boogers during the Super Bowl.

That was significantly more funny than I thought it'd be. "Kiss the gun! Kiss the gun!"

There has been a soccer ball that can do this for a few years now. It indicates when the goal plane is broken and can report things like velocity, rotations per minute, distance traveled, force of kick, degrees of arc, etc.

You know what they say, In Theory, there is no difference between theory and reality. But in Reality, there is.
For the Ideal gas law to apply, wouldn't the football have to be inflated entirely with 1 type of gas? I wasn't aware they did that. I bet the pats use Helium.
The Ideal Gas Law I remember used Degrees Kelvin, and Bars. Not Fahrenheit and PSI.
I don't know where that 460 came from, maybe it was an attempt to convert to Kelvin, but the conversion is not that simple.
I'm not sure 14.7 PSI is an accurate atmospheric pressure. It's probably close, but why not look up the weather reports and use the real number instead of just 1 atmosphere?
And finally, I'm not sure it's a valid assumption to say the volume is remaining constant. Footballs are kinda pliable.

Now for the most important part of the game. What are you guys eating? I'm doing mini reubens with chips and dip for munchies, then making a couple homemade deep dish pizzas for the game itself.
