Reportedly the San Francisco Giants have done this as well, with each player’s iPad crammed with obscure stats like on-base percentage when faced with a 3-2 count, etc. I’m not sure what the purpose of something like this is - considering how lousy Giants hitting is these days, they might have been better off putting vision tests on those iPads.

Hell that’s nothing, the Bengals gave each player their own pad of paper and a 64 count of crayons to share. When the roster is cut, they each get their own color to use all season.

Hmmm....

For what’s going to be downloaded to those iPads by the coach, couldn’t the same have been copied to a CD or to a zip-drive, with accompanying software, and then the player could have reviewed the plays on a larger computer with a larger monitor or a large TV screen which could be attacked to the computer? That could have saved them about $599 per player, since it’s likely that all of those players already have PCs and monitors and TVs at home already.

Sweet Jesus, enough of this. Oooh, wow, look at the old school organization using (inevitably Apple) new technology! Gee whiz, now our football team will be good. Just kidding...we’ll still suck, but we’ll be on the cutting edge of press stories.

How long will it be before the NFL starts putting players on the disabled list for carpal tunnel syndrome?

Gee, what kind of “unexpected” blowback is that going to cause?
