Redskins are one of the teams using IPads for playbooks

[ethat001]

Seriously?

A franchise worth $1.56 billion dollars. Worth more than some countries. And we're worried that they can't afford internet security? The playbook is the key to their game, their financial success. They will protect it with all the means possible.

And remember - there's no way to prevent a player who wants to give the playbook out. Even when a player leaves, they'll remember most of the plays. For example, Peyton Manning remembers every single Colts play, and can draw each out himself without any paper or electronic playbook. And paper playbooks can easily be copied / scanned / photographed.


From the article, the security seems relatively advanced to me.

...As for the prospect of hacking? The encryption currently being used to secure the iPads on a remote level is equivalent to the military grade.
