You F****ing kidding me? (rant) [tablet malfunctions; stadium wireless issues]

[A Defiant Goose]

I must confess. It wasn't autocorrect. I had a moment of dumbassery and was too embarressed to come clean.

I have been in enterprise networking (wireless and wired) for over 12 years and the NFL/Microsoft explanation is full of $****. Their explanation that it was a defective cable that caused the issue is laughable. In networking you always build in redundancy at every level including and ESPECIALLY at the Physical layer of the network. There should be redundant routers, redundant switches, redundant cable paths, redundant Wi-Fi towers and redundant tablets for each team. ALL failure scenarios should be tested for the day before the game even starts. Any failures that do occur during the game should have automatic redundant work-arounds. The ONLY explanation I would buy besides something nefarious by the Broncos would be that of Wi-Fi interference since there is no way to block that except moving to a different band. Or possibly a tablet system failure. Or complete incompetence by the engineer that designed the system.

What is so funny about this?

Other team's fan bases go all tin foil/through the looking glass every time the New England Patriots draw a breath.

Tablets are down, let's cancel the season!!!!
The world has gotten so soft. Tissue paper soft.
I want to root for a team that doesn't give a ****e about f-ing tablets...
Thank god we do.

Honestly why even use tablets? I know the main motivating factor is money for advertising or whatever but if you're a coaching staff I feel like you'd want to use as little technology as possible. Too many things that could go wrong and be unreliable. The less technology you have to rely on the better off you'll be

Good idea. I forget about that.

[Joker]

If you had reading comprehension above a third grade level you would realize that I gave three other possible scenarios besides the Broncos doing something. I actually think it was just incompetence by their network engineer.
