There were two good examples in the Sunday night game between the Cowboys and Redskins.

PBS and ESPN actually, but ESPN took their name off of it.
The two companies had worked together on the documentary for over a year when ESPN took their name off the film, citing a 'lack of editorial control'.
At that time the film makers were still in process of their initial edit and ESPN had yet to even see the film.
It was later revealed that shortly before taking their name off the film, NFL Commissioner Goodell, backed up by NFL Network President Steve Bornstein, had requested a lunch with ESPN President John Skipper and ESPN ExecVP/Production Steve Bornstein.
Allegedly, Goodell made a very strong suggestion that ESPN back away from the film.
