The NFL just claimed that any 'description or account' of this broadcast required their permission or it was violation of their copyright.

Luckily they didn't say anything about descriptions or accounts of their breathtaking, unilateral expansion of copyright. So this post should be okay.

Edit: Okay, so apparantly this is nothing new. (Shows how often I watch sports broadcasts.) It's still crazy and ridiculous.

Yeah, that's standard. AFAIK it means what Wendy says, no complete play by play accounts or transcribing the whole broadcast.

I'm pretty sure MLB does it too.
