It was easy after the seven day course it took to teach the players how to turn them on….

Seriously–why do you think credit card and bank account information gets leaked?

Because it lives online. If it were in paper format, the only people who could steal it would be internal to the company.

” the idea that going digital makes you LESS secure is patently absurd.”

Patently false. In order to steal a paper playbook, you have to actually find it. Stealing a playbook that has access to the internet is much easier. Anyone who is interested in such a thing (and they will be legion) will be locating the devices online and trying to hack into them. And if the players are allowed to go anywhere on the web, it’s pretty easy for one or more of them to go to a malicious website by accident.

And all it takes is one.

If the teams don’t implement severe restrictions for internet visibility, I expect to see playbooks posted online, for all to see, within a week after Opening Week.

Hate to do this to a fellow Chiefs fan, but: really, dude?

An iPad is FAR more secure than a paper playbook. To get access to a paper playbook, all you gotta do is steal one. With an iPad, you have to steal one, AND bypass whatever software security measures are in place (which at the very least would include a passcode or password). Everything’s hackable, sure, but the idea that going digital makes you LESS secure is patently absurd.

The iPad is certainly more convenient and up with the times, but it can be hacked by a desperate enough person or team. As we have learned with the NFL, any advantage is a necessary advantage regardless of how the advantage is obtained (i.e. spying, bounty, hacking?). Buyer beware.

I’m curious, is the IPad the official tablet of the NFL because there are any number of tablets out there that could do the same thing for less (not that the NFL can’t afford it).

With more and more teams going to the iPad, how much longer will they have an edge?

Translation —–

The Broncos will finish 6-10 instead of 5-11 in season 2012.
