That's hardly a surprise though. The company who provided the Wells Report's scientific analysis, Exponent, is known for producing questionable conclusions to favor whoever's paying them. These 21 scientists, who filed their brief independently of the NFL or Brady, concluded that the unaccounted air pressure -- the so-called "tampering" -- constitutes a mere margin of error.

In other words: No football air pressure tampering happened because it's scientifically impossible. See, NFL, that's how real science works! The Wells Report's findings, in the opinion of the group, was not based in "science," but rather a "scientifically worded surmise."

To further prove their point, the professors obtained field-temperature data for over 10,000 NFL games dating back to 1960, and found that about 61 percent of all games would've been played with under-inflated footballs. Accounting for the specific air pressure the Patriots' footballs were initially set at, they found that 82 percent of the games would've had footballs considered under-inflated by NFL rules. As it turns out, the thing the NFL wants to suspend Brady over is an act of nature that happens all the time and nobody ever notices.

The scientists' brief comes one day after the Patriots quarterback filed an appeal for another hearing from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday. In April, the court restored the NFL's four-game suspension against Brady for his involvement in Deflategate, ruling that Goodell didn't overstep his powers in suspending Brady, as a previous judge did.
