Chemda deserves some major props for her football knowledge tbh, she's been listening to Keith and various guests discuss and debate football for years and still manages to give input each time. I've found myself learning about football thanks to Keith, even though I prefer futball :P

Very entertaining episode, Taylor 's mum needs to come on the show, she sounds like a gem!

Not that I'm on the side of a team that decides it claims an entire corner of the country as its own, but look at the score of the game.. Do we really think the ball is gonna have that significant an impact? Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard this was discovered at half time and then they used the correct balls from then on. The score for the second half of the game was 28-0. The colts total score was 7. Doing some quick math, you could take away all the points earned with the deflated balls and the colts are still blown out. I'm not saying tom Brady isn't a piece of shit, but it's weird to me that anyone cares about a very slight advantage when the game wasn't even close. It wasn't even close to close.

Then why'd they cheat? Again I mean.

They're scum. But they're still very clearly the better team. I think people love to go up in arms about a thing like this and it's hard for me to say it's stupid because obviously it's cheating. It's like taking money from the bank in monopoly after you own 90% of the property though. You're a douche but who really gives a shit anymore? It's like you said, like you guys have been saying for so many years, it's even the title of your book. What do we do now? There's really nothing to be done. Hopefully the Seahawks wipe the floor with them and we get a nice close up of Tom Brady crying. It'll make for some fun memes.

PSI vs Weight
 

Chemda was doing so good with the football discussion, right up to the point where she mentioned the weight of the balls. When Keith first mentioned 12.5-13.5 pounds per square inch on episode 2123 (1:07:00), Chemda was clearly confused and asked if this was pounds or ounces. Keith did say it was pounds per square inch and Chemda replied "I don't understand" and moved on. In this episode, Chemda says "you would still recognize that the ball was lighter" (33:50).

I would love to hear an on air discussion of Keith explaining the difference in PSI vs pounds to Chemda.

The Patriots are the Richard Nixon of football. They would probably win in a matchup, but that's not quite good enough. They've got to cheat so the competition is a blow out. Of course when the cheating is revealed they look like real assholes.

I don't really pay attention to football, but this analogy feels true.

I think that would be a very painful discussion because clearly neither of them has a firm grip on what PSI actually means (not that I do either)

Start listening from 1:04 keith misspoke and said they underinflated "by 2 pounds of air" it isn't until later that he corrects the mistake to 2 psi.

Pounds is weight, psi is pressure, by misspeaking to begin with it made it unclear for Chemda and Nick that he was referring to air pressure.

Pshaw, who needs to learn maths and science, nobody ever has any reason to understand that stuff in the real world.

:)

Yeah most people don't need to.

Not being 100% sure on psi vs pounds hasn't hurt Lanfear, Chemda, and most likely Keith. Because who gives a shit about psi vs pounds in day to day life (seriously).

FOOTBALL IS LIFE. HASHTAG.

RETWEET.

If you don't think Chemda was hurt by her confusion then you don't understand women at all.

Exactly, I was just a bit annoyed by Mike implying that the female in the room has no clue about physics while Keith has it all figured out but as Piffle won't tire pointing out I apparently have no sense of humor so he might be joking

Oh I think you're VERY funny.

Great show & guest

I would like to respond to the poll by saying "not yet," simply because you never know when you'll be at a football game and they need you to come out of the stands to win the whole thing heroically. Under those circumstances, I'm not making any promises.

A girl can dream ...

I promise, I laugh at you all the time.

BANG-O!

Lanfear. I said you seem uber serious. That's not the same thing. I also used the word 'uber' (which I believe is German) and have yet to receive any praise.

I haven't heard this ep yet, but must say that I've known PSI means Pound Square Inch since I was like 10. I know the acronym, but I don't know what the fuck it actually means. I know it's on the pressure gauge thingy and you put that on your bike tire and then try to inflate tire and your goddamn fucking bike tire explodes.

So you go into the gas station. Buy beer. And decide to go for a drive.

PSI. :rolleyes:

I voted yes because i assumed "deflated a football" was code for "sucked some guy's dick on a football field"

All the football talk made me think of it plus, Gilmore girls reference. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MNpkSy...e_gdata_player
(Hope that link works..? I'm an asshat.)

As someone not paying attention to football, (except for Super Bowls - cuz beer, wings, and sanctioned yelling/ madness in bar) I like this Inflate-gate.

Now I know who to root for. Is it safe to assume Tom Brady is on Keith's apology list?

The new Mortal Kombat looks badass. That one guy looks like Master Blaster from Mad Max. I"M IN!!!!

you know it's Deflategate. what are you doin? c'mon now
