But the release of the Wells Report affirms his analysis, however rudimentary, as correct. "I'm not too worried about coach Belichick's competing with me," Bill Nye "the Science Guy" told Good Morning America in January. "What he said didn't make any sense." But the Wells Report noted that every ball tested by referees at halftime of the AFC Championship Game—Colts balls and Patriots balls—displayed significantly reduced air pressure. Furthermore, the scientific firm employed by the Wells Report found, just as Bill Belichick said back in January, that balls lost about a pound or more of pressure by halftime.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_nye.jpg
