10-year-old wins school science fair with project titled, ‘Is Tom Brady a cheater?’

'Hater level: 100'

A 10-year-old recently gave a school presentation that would probably earn him an "F" from Patriots fans. Ace Davis, 10, embarked on an investigation involving footballs of various sizes and weights to see if it would affect one’s ability to win. The fourth-grader grabbed three footballs: a 5-pound one, a 7-pound one and a 9-pound one. Each football was put through four categories, according to KARE11. At the end, Ace discovered it was easier to catch and throw the football that weighed 5 pounds compared to the other two balls.Football fandoms aside, Ace’s project was impressive enough to win his school fair and now he’s heading to the district competition. Interestingly enough, the competition is Feb. 2, the day before the Super Bowl where the Patriots take on the Rams. Of course, when asked which team he would be rooting for, Ace promptly said, "Rams all day.”What began as an accusation of cheating in the 2015 AFC championship game has grown into a multimillion-dollar legal battle over three NFL seasons, involving not just an MVP quarterback but also some of the nation’s elite lawyers and scientists.Suspicions that the Patriots were cheating arose in 2015 when the league tested the footballs provided by the home team for the AFC title game against the Indianapolis Colts and found them to be underinflated.Eventually, after an arduous process, Brady was suspended for four games and declined to appeal a second time, according to ESPN.The Associated Press has contributed to this article.
