With Kaep calling the plays from his outfitted headset mic?

I'm guessing the league would say NO -- against the rules.

But effective communication is the key to victory in any war and if Clink can effectively eff that up -- we should be able to counter with technology.

And plus that place was deafening noise cancelling would be beneficial to one's health. I wouldn't be surprised if players start to sue the league for hearing loss later down the line.

brilliant idea, i don't know why the quarterback is the only person with it on, would speed up the game way more if every player had a headset. then that would take away a home field advantage element to the opponent but i would be all for it.

Not a bad idea at all. It will definitely push the boundaries of what can and cannot be accepted in sport, but it's worth a shot.

Thought about this all day. Lawsuits are coming. Expect them from fans too.

my thought is no. why not just give google glass to all the players haha....but the main point is that the NFL's goal is to make money and it's fun and entertaining for the fans to have a chance to impact the game. so why would you develop something that hinders that? the NFL wants the fans to be motivated to be screaming like crazy :)

These post-game threads are just as embarrassing as the loss.
