The National Football League, has made a deal with online audio distributer Audible (who usually distribute audio books) to record the remaining playoff games for fans to be played on portable audio players like the iPod. The recordings will be made and then sold within a day through Apple Computer's iTunes music store. They are expected to cost around $10 a game or between $1 and $5 for highlights. The recordings will be availible also on other music download services but Apple may have the advantage since they have an existing relationship with Audible.
Now it's just all about sitting around and waiting to hear if they make much more money off this little trick. Personally I don't think I would ever pay $10 for the audio recording of any sports game.
