I expect that there are a few problems, Hardware - well the Surface has not had a good record for a lot of folks, Windows 10 has its issues but so does OSX and Linux, unix of whatever versions, then there is communications like mentioned by others - probably a significant factor, then finally the software they use for the NFL tool itself - probably crap software pushed through final release before it was ready, not QA'ed properly, and built by the likes of Wipro or some other software sweat shop then celebrated like they won a gold medal. Communications is a tough one, I am sure the NFL has private networks setup for this, but no matter how much you plan wifi sometimes is just not great but things like bandwidth requirements are something many IT pro's often underestimate, latency, bandwidth availability, overhead on the network, understanding what the software requires for back and forth communications, what we call the basis of requests and acknowledgments of packets and retransmission etc. etc. There are many things that could go wrong here. From what BB stated it seems that he cant do the things he wants on the tablet (god if the idiots at weei would stop calling it a "tab"), it may not be the device at all but the software, coms reliability or good ole fashioned old school stuff BB cant get it to do.
Ok back to work now so I can go fix some software and networks
