But how hard is it for the league to go look at that wiring, using line testers and what not, to figure out if it meets whatever specs it's supposed to and doesn't have some kill switch like Les Moonves on the Late Show with Colbert (and you'd have to give the Pats credit if Tomlin had been complaining about audio from the Mentalist).

The NFL is made up of cash. They have cash coming out of their assholes. They have so much cash, Apple is like, "Damn, man. That's a lot of cash." They should have a whole arm of the league that deals with this stuff. It should be standardized and run by the league on site at every stadium. If you get constant complaints like this, especially with certain teams, spend the money and make it absolutely the same for everyone and run it. That's why you have grouped together to from a league with a commissioner and staff in the first place.
