Is anybody really going to use this? In all seriousness, who would listen to a game recording? I can see WATCHING a recorded game, but listening would just bore me to tears.

Wow, that’s one of the dumbest ideas I’ve heard of in a long time. “...which will be available on the Internet the following morning”.
I wouldn’t download this for free, and I like football and my team is still in the playoffs.

If my team were still alive I might download the NFC title game and Super Bowl and archive it as a keepsake. So in 15 years I can go back and listen that would be kinda cool. But I can’t see listening to the Falcon-Eagle game on my ipod after the game is over. I hate both teams and I’d be bored. Maybe Apple should just include a am-fm radio w/ the ipod already and let us listen to sports events live for once. It’s a good idea but also a very limited one in it’s usefullness.

If you want NFL, get Sirius. So, when are we getting a Sirius or XM adaptor to go with the iPod?
