Trust me, it's extremely difficult and restrictive for me at work. It's an uphill climb to get permission for things so I can't imagine what it's like for Matty and a fan site.

NFL is protecting its brand the way it best sees fit. But again, we're going to be fine. Let's just take the high road on this and continue being the best fan site in the world.
I can understand where the NFL is coming from, and I can respect that. But I think for me at least, this seems to be a growing narrative; Corporate America clashing with a growing internet culture - a community.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like some of their liberties have been violated some?
