It's 15 times faster than a helicopter spins it's blades. There's no way any football spins close to that speed.Out of sheer curiosity, I was wondering....
Another example of Tom not doing a damn thing to the balls.
Idiots.

None of that even addresses the fact that he never checked to see if deflation even increases spiral. Flat footballs don't spiral well.

Yea the article was wrong. A football spins around 600rpmsFrom 5400 to 7200 rpms? WTH? If Brady throws a football with 5400 rpms spin on it somebody better check the calibration of his bionic arm. I can't imagine a football having more than 300 rpms during a typical throw unless it's one of Manning's duck balls which might have 10 or 20 rpms.
