Microsoft Surface and the NFL: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Just last week, the NFL’s most storied head coach, New England’s Bill Belichick, gave a 5 minute answer to a simple question about his feelings on the Surface Pro, which seemed to have malfunctioned during the Patriots’ Week 6 game against the Bengals. Belichick, who is famous for his quick, closed statements, was more than open about his negative stance on the device calling it “unreliable” among other things.

Belichick isn’t the only coach to have issues with the Surface Pro, the product that the NFL was paid $400 million to introduce to sidelines in 2014. While Belichick and a few other coaches have been awfully outspoken about their disdain for Microsoft’s tablet, there has been some raving reviews about the product as well. Let’s take a look at the Good, Bad and Ugly regarding the Surface Pro’s existence in the NFL.
