Patriots coach Bill Belichick has given up on using the NFL's official Microsoft Surface tablets, recently telling reporters on a conference call that "they're just too undependable for me,"Fox Sports reports.

"There's just no consistency," Belichick said. "I've given them all I can give them. I just can't take it anymore."

NFL coaches like Belichick had been using the Surface tablets, issued by the NFL as part of a partnership with Microsoft, as a replacement for printed-out charts and field diagrams. Belichick now says he'll go back to good old-fashioned paper printouts.
