Are we sure those are laser beams flashed at him...?
I think those were some flashing LED lights of the terminator Brady they replaced the human Brady with 5-10 years ago that were flickering through his jersey and skin.

They should bother everyone.
Just because fans do it in other sports does not make mean it should be acceptable.
For one, they can be dangerous and can damage eyesight before a person can even blink.
Second, imo, they really go against sportsmanship and not something I want affecting a game.
FIFA has been banned them

Would a laser project that wide of a beam, even at great distance? Sosh Scientists?
Also - what am I missing on that 2nd clip. Can someone provide a time stamp?
(I'm very demanding today)

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's ok just because it's done in other sports. Should we just allow it in all sports then?
Nothing will come of this, by the way.

Not a scientist, but I’ve used military grade lasers that can project a wide beam at distance.
It was actually Brady *using* a laser to guide his passes.
The Patriots' rookie RB has a whole website dedicated to lasers:

And, David Andrews is Dan Reeves's nephew. When Reeves coached the Falcons in 1993, one of his offensive coaches was:
Bill Lazor.
Yes. But for those who haven’t played with lasers, let’s ask ourselves the reverse: Would any spotlight project a beam that narrow at that distance? Of course not. It’s a laser.
It’s also green and has the tell-tale movement of someone trying to keep a laser pointer steady by hand.
Just more green laser but briefer. Watch Brady’s right shoulder (his right, not yours).

The answer to your first question is yes.
To name one.
That light could also be tinted green and if, hand-held and at that distance, it would jiggle in exactly the same way.
I just knew some nerd was going to prove me wrong on that one
But let’s be honest, which do you think it is? A ubiquitous laser pointer or an EDM nightclub spotlight?
Edit: If I’m looking at the specs correctly, the lens is starting out at 7.28 inches. Id think you’re getting a much larger spot on Brady from any distance within the stadium but not in the field of play.

Here's an experiment a guy did showing the increasing spot size of a consumer laser pointer depending on distance. Based on this experiment, and apparent size of the green "spots" in the video, I'd guess this was a consumer laser pointer, aimed from around 75-100 meters away or so.

Integrity of the game plus danger to player? Hope KC can overcome losing a 1st and 4th rounder.
Is there a corporate sponsor box in that end zone for some big lighting company?I just knew some nerd was going to prove me wrong on that one

But seriously, I didn't for one second think it was anything but a laser, but it's a rare opportunity for me to use my expert work skills on a problem on SOSH somewhere other than TBLTS.
