Over the weekend, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick finally addressed the controversy surrounding his team as they prepare for the Super Bowl. In a previously unscheduled media session, Belichick explained what he believes actually happened with what people are calling "deflate-gate."

Belichick said that the Patriots staff spent the week running a battery of tests on footballs to simulate the condition of the balls as they were during their game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The legendary coach said that the Pats prepare the outside surface of their footballs a certain way, which includes rubbing, and scrubbing"”and that, he says, raises the pound per inch levels inside the footballs.

"That pro process we found raises the PSI approximately one pound. So that process of creating a tackiness, a texture, a feel"”whatever that feel is, it's just a sensation for the quarterback. What's the right feel, that process elevates the PSI approximately one pound based on what our study shows, which was multiple balls, multiple examples in the process as we would do for a game," he said.

Adding, "When the footballs go out on the field into the game conditions, whatever those conditions are, hot and humid, whether it's cold and damp, whether it's cold and dry, whether it's whatever it is, that's where the footballs are played with, and that's where the measurements would be different than what they are, possibly different than what they are in a controlled environment. That's what we found."

The NFL is still in the middle of an investigation, which found 11 of the 12 footballs used by the Pats during their AFC championship game to be two pounds under the standard ball pressure.

Shortly following Belichick's media session, science expert Bill Nye, popularly known as "The Science Guy," appeared on "Good Morning America" sharing his opinion on the coach's dissertation.

"What he said didn't make any sense. Rubbing the football, I don't think you can the change the pressure. To really change the pressure, you need the inflation needle," Nye said.

"This is the end of this subject for me, for a long time," Belichick said Saturday.
