NFL Commissioner Roger Goddell to push NFL further into tech-age, recommending iPads mandatory in NFL organizations.
Although the iPad has already reached NFL locker rooms, with players, coaches and staff using it for personal purposes, it may soon become a requirement around NFL sidelines.
According to SI.com’s Peter King, NFL Commissioner Roger Goddell said that Apple’s iPad could soon be used in the assistance of diagnosing concussions. No surprise given the NFL’s stand on concussions, especially as of late after concussion rates in the league were up, along with the concussion-related suicides of Former NFL’ers Dick Duerson and, recently, Junior Seau.
“The first thing to do is prevent it,” Goddell said. “That goes to rules, equipment. The second is our sideline assessment tools. We have made changes to that. There are some new technologies that make this very soon in the future where on a tablet, you can actually take a test on the sideline to determine [the concussion].”
The NFL will also expand the use of technology in determining whether a player needs to take the iPad test.
The league already has certified athletic trainers who also act as spotters to see if a player has a possible concussion, considering players never admit that their injured, let alone have a concussion to begin with.
The iPad technology will help team doctors see what happened on the injuring play to that player. The video of the play will be sent to the iPad via the stadium’s Wi-Fi connection and determine the mechanisms of injury by watching the play on the iPad on a system similar to the instant replay system.
The decisions to keep the player in the game post-concussion is finally being taken out of the players hands. As frustrating as it is for the player, in the end, the mandatory sideline iPad could possibly save a players life in the long run.

I tried looking at your website with my ipod touch and the design doesnt seem to be correct. Might want to check it out on WAP as well as it seems most smartphone layouts are not working with your web site.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see wHelloch one sounds better to you, and wHelloch interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know wHelloch is right for you.

I have really learned new things through your weblog. One other thing I’d really like to say is the fact that newer computer operating systems are likely to allow more memory to use, but they also demand more memory space simply to work. If an individual’s computer is unable to handle additional memory and the newest software package requires that storage increase, it usually is the time to buy a new PC. Thanks
