NFL's lawyers sack church's game plan | IndyStar.com

Oh, neat. Now die-hard fans of the Colts or the Bears can't get together at a location and watch the game together on a screen larger than 55 inches. What will happen if they do? Who knows. Maybe the NFL will start shooting cease-and-desist letters to anyone who defies them, then threaten to sue them for half a million dollars.

At least with music and movie downloading, you might be able to say that you're aquiring something for free that could otherwise be aquired for money.

But watching the Super Bowl on CBS? I'm sorry - since when have you had to pay a fee to watch a publicly broadcasted football game on a free-over-the-air network television station?

Hey, I looked for a thread before I posted. Had I seen that, I obviously wouldn't have posted here.

I'm so, so, so, so sorry for my terrible error.
