Sports Science on Fox Sports, Awesome show!
« on: November 27, 2007, 02:05:49 AM »
Has anyone had a chance to see this show?  It comes on Fox Sports on Sunday's at 9pm.  I'd say it's like Mythbusters meets Sports.  They use science to pick apart everything in sports from myths to how long it takes to make a pass.  Just an amazing show.  Thought some of us geeks on here would enjoy it.

To give you a taste of what the show is like here is a windows media video clip from Fox's site about Corey Magette's reaction time.  It also goes into why Steve Nash seems like he has eyes in the back of his head.  Very much worth the 3-4 minutes it takes to watch it.

At the website they also have a REALLY cool one about Big Ben from the Steelers for our NFL fans around here.

Haven't had a chance to check your clips but I did see the episode on hang time.  Pretty interesting although I wish they had explained why it's impossible for a human to be airborn for more than 1 second.
