Any ideas on how much Microsoft had to pay for the 'privilege'?

The NFL will also be pushing content to fans via the new XBox One. You'll get extra on screen content while watching NFL games via the overlay/snap function and/or XBox Smart Glass app to your tablet or phone

I wonder what this will mean for teams like Denver Broncos who have switched to iPads to replace their paper play books.

Given MSFT's reputation for security, it will only be a matter of minutes before opposing teams crack the wireless encryption codes used to pass plays back and forth. All's fair in love, war, and football.

I see it now. Powerful spotting scopes catching the catcher and manager's signals. Power radio receivers catching the on field helmet radio traffic. Powerful translators, machine, and Navajo, interpreting all the hash. Powerful parabolic sound disks catching the on field chatter from managers, coaches, players. Wait, we are already there. |
