If no coverage was given the NFL would back down quickly....<<<<<<<< Hi Harrison, I agree completely! However as soon as that happens the advertising money that goes to the newspapers from the NFL will be cut off! Then the paper bean counters will go ballistic and paper owners will demand their photogs wear vests. Unfortunately the "no coverage" - "no money in" tactic can work both ways. :-( But I think this is one of those things the NFL are being very stupid about and made the decision without any thought about repercussions by news papers and wire services. I'd bet the TV people would be only too happy not to have a bunch of bright red tagged photogs along the sidelines. Would I bet this ruling will be changed? Nope, not on your life! WAY TOO MUCH MONEY INVOLVED FROM A KEY SPONSOR! ted
