Good take on NFL's new access policies Inbox

From News Tribune blogger Mike Sando:

The NFL under commissioner Roger Goodell has taken steps to improve media access to league personnel. A recently adopted access policy requires teams to make available coaches, players and front-office people at regular intervals. The league has also relaxed its policy on sideline TV crews.

Now comes a policy headed in the other direction. This one seeks to monopolize league-oriented audio and video content on the Web. The league is limiting sites such as this one to 45 seconds of league audio and video per day, with no archiving beyond 24 hours. The league wants fans to visit only league Web sites for audio and video featuring players, coaches and other league personnel. Like many policies, this one will have unintended consequences.

Boy I hope this one backfires on the NFL. It is so unfair to Web sites and fans of the sport.
