DB's balls spin at 52-mph, says Sport Science

According to Sport Science on Fox Sports, Drew Brees throws footballs more accurately than Olympic archers shoot arrows.

Not surprised, huh? Me neither.

But their study of his passing dynamics is pretty remarkable. My quarterback, whom I promised a roast beef poboy from Parasol's after film study on Friday, consistently passes footballs at 52-mph with a 6-degree vertical extension and 600 RPMs with a gyro scoping torque that defies gravity and aerodynamically forces wind around the ball, which counterbalances itself, while slight wobbles purposefully keep the ball on target against prevailing winds.


Imagine that. 

Oh, Yeessssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! Here's two of my favorite bastuhds to run into at Parasol's, I GAH-Ron-Tee! (Where's The Force?)

Three wobbles per five spins is key, says Sport Science. Which means wobbly passes are good when outdoors in January/December. But if you're a fan who likes the game's technicalities as fully dressed as your poboy, here's the Sport Science video (I'm already dreaming of extra au jus on the side for dippings, yeah you right!):
