Timothy Burke on *Screengrabber*:
> Microsoft has been on a season-long campaign to make sure you know the tablet computers on NFL sidelines are their Surface models, **not** iPads. Like most Microsoft products, the Surface tablets are crashing—at least those on the New England sideline.
Hahahahaha! But wait! It gets better!
> **Update (5:55 p.m):** Microsoft has issued a statement denying responsibility for the tablets’ failures.
Real shocker.
