Bill Nye The Science Guy Tackles DeflateGate from Funny Or Die

Finally, America's favorite scientist has subjected the Patriots' Deflategate explanation to rigorous examination. 

Bill Nye the Science Guy already said on Good Morning America that he didn't believe what Bill Belichick had to say, but now he's actually used the scientific method to back up his claims.
