    No Fun League, right?

    Well with the NFL trying to maintain full control of all game-day content coming out of the stadiums they've told teams they can't post gifs or highlights etc. of their own team/players.

    Apparently Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took umbrage with that and had it out with Jonathan Kraft of the Patriots who's co-chair on the NFL digital media committee. Apparently they got into it and Kraft eventually walked out.

    Full story here, but the highlights? How some teams showed some 'highlights' from their games:

    The Browns also did something similar to the Eagles but it looks like they've pulled the content now.

    League is strangling itself and it doesn't even know it.

    I think that the still photos that the Fins post with the score are just fine.
