No laughing matter. If one wheel is still spinning, it's one hell of a massive gyroscope. The precessional forces would be pretty large.
It's not about gyroscopic forces or precession.

The laughable part is the suggestion that there is so little friction in a wheel bearing and a brake heat pack that it would allow a wheel to continue to whizz around for 3 minutes after it has ceased to have contact with the runway.

Actually it is what it's about, in part.
