Eric Decker's Huge Hit Made Him Weigh A Ton

I suck at physics, and so do you, and there’s a good reason for that: as a subject, physics is difficult even at its simplest levels, and involves complex math that left us behind somewhere around fourth grade.

If they could have taught it in football form, I might have understood that. Hey, look! Physics in football form!

Nope, still doesn’t work. It is fun to note that Eric Decker did—for an instant during the exchange of force from the Cal safety to him—feel like he weighed over a ton. This makes him the first 2000 pounder to score a TD in the Big Ten since Ron Dayne, and the survivor of an amount of force comparable to a car wreck. Physics: it’s not hard when you get to watch football players getting lit up to explain it.
