FWIW, the rule is:

Multiple sports teams (complete example):
program.title = 'NBA Basketball'
AND program.subtitle REGEXP '(Miami|Cavaliers|Lakers)'
AND program.first > 0

but you'd change it to:

program.title = 'NFL Football'

and can either put only one team or multiple (with | separating each) in 
the subtitle section (and can even put the team name and city just in 
case).

To use the example, scroll through the example clauses with LEFT/RIGHT, 
then choose one (or more) with SELECT, then go to the text area and edit 
the rule appropriately.
