Couldn't get the appropriate clearances you say? That's not what the article said, so you might wanna reread that part :handshake:

nikka do you work for the NFL?

Set to Tell His Story

Last month, the league countered in another way, showing that it did not need the tapes. NFL Network showed a reconstruction of Super Bowl Idrawn from the archives of NFL Films.

And last week, Haupt was angry about another turn in the dispute. CBS backed out of a plan to interview him for a Super Bowl pregame segment that would have used a few minutes from the game. It had agreed to pay him $25,000 and give him two tickets to the Super Bowl. A producer was preparing to watch a restored, digital copy of the game at the Paley Center. A crew was ready to go to Manteo. He was going to tell his story, and perhaps the league would listen.

“It was my right to tell my story, and they were paying me for it,” Haupt said.

But according to his lawyer, Steve Harwood, the deal collapsed when he was told that the N.F.L. had ordered CBS not to pay him.

“They said they’d still put Troy on but couldn’t pay,” Harwood said. “After dealing with the N.F.L. all these years, and with CBS, which screwed up, Troy said he wouldn’t do it for free.”
Brian McCarthy, a league spokesman, denied that the N.F.L. was involved.

“We didn’t tell them not to do it,” he said. “We didn’t talk to CBS about the payment.”

A CBS Sports spokeswoman said only that it chose not to do the feature “because we couldn’t get the appropriate clearances.”

Leverage for what? Tbt "the first superbowl" sounds great in theory, but nobody really cares about that shyt.

People are faux outraged because hating Goodell and the NFL brass is the in thing to do. Most people would watch that shyt for a couple plays and turn it right off, if that.

On top of that the guy doesn't even have the full tape. His tape is missing large chunks of the game. Its missing half of the third quarter as well.

They would be able to do an entire event around it. Sell it to broadcast on CBS or ABC and bring in tons of advertising dollars. If they suited up Penguins to play football people would watch it in America:francis: Missing the 3rd quarter or not. They would just get narration over some highlights during that stretch or interview ex players and coaches

Pro Bowl did better numbers than any NBA game this year, even Spurs - Warriors :ufdup:

Anyway, the NFL has been known to use it's influence on it's partners to get things killed that they don't like(Playmakers, League of Denial), it's not out of their character to put the kill out on this

They already have all the footage of every play from the game. They could do that with the film they already have.

They can't. Listen to any NFL game:
"This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this telecast or any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent is prohibited."

He can't show it again without the NFL's OK, which is why CBS killed his segment
but that statement was not applied to that telecast. If that's the case then the NFL can just post that statement on its website for it to apply to all its media content. But instead it replays it for each media content for it to be applied to each event

I'm sure there are private collectors who would pay millions of dollars for the tape...
