The NFL has always been vigilant about use of its logos, broadcasts, and more; it's just that as infringement becomes easier and more prevalent (generally due to technological advances), such vigilance becomes more apparent to the general public.

Would it be a copyright violation to do a podcast showing Monday Night Football?
The National Football League, the professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, maintains a very strict copyright declaration. Although copyright exists already, even without the notice, this declaration is intended to protect NFL broadcasts from being reused in any fashion. The notice follows a standard wording, such as: "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." So, no, you cannot make a Podcast that shows ANY part of a football game! The NFL can not only make you delete it from the Internet but they could also sue you. Courts can fine you.

If they are copies you taped of the tv, yes it is a violation. If you purchase a game tape from an authorized NFL retailer, you can re-sell it, but cannot keep or make a copy. You can buy your original copy but not make several copies and sell all of them.
