That's is frigging awesome. I've watched several of his shows and really find his field of expertise interesting, albeit way over my head. How many NFL teams would bring a guy like that in to practice? Love PC and JS's approach to exposing the players minds to so many different experiences.

Brains are sorely missing in America. Great to see how he can be famous for being smart.

What a fascinating guy and unique interpretation on football and kicking! Great to see guys like Gilliam and Hauschka really interested as well.

I'm thrilled you guys really dig that. I wasn't sure how it would be received. I am a huge fan and like you, love how PC has the acuity to bring him in. Wins or losses, this is the type of paradigm-shifting methodology that has this team winning the majority of their football games since he became our head coach.

If Haushka hits a 60 yarder this weekend, we know why

If he misses a 35 harder, we also know why.

MoJo got messed with

Edit: am I the only one that thinks the dude looks like #3 RW?
I think he look like a young Ron Glass(Barney Miller) not RW

Tyson has been on my Favorites for over a Year now...what an incredible guy.
I got to admit though, he has shown yet another new tangent of his expertise.
Brilliant scientist who has a way of dumbing it down so science geeks like me can even begin to understand how the basic physics of the Universe works.

I love NdGT, he has picked up the baton from Carl Sagan as the astrophysicist for the masses. His update of Cosmos was damn well done. Pretty sharp at some other things, too.

Tyson might have been trying to research the amount of "dark matter" between the ears of the many Bevell Haters.

Him talking about how the stadium is aligned north-south and how they effects (or affects?) the ball in flight. Might explain why so many visiting teams miss kicks here.

Lawrence Tynes is still thinking about all those field goals he missed here in 2005.

Only 4 stadiums in the NFL are oriented true N-S.
