There's no deal in place at all between the NFL and HBO. HBO just isn't scared of the NFL doing anything because at worst they'll simply stop doing Hard Knocks....except that every team in the NFL would greatly appreciate Hard Knocks going away (they are now forced to do it by the league). So unlike when ESPN cancelled Playmakers, HBO can't lose much. The NFL being petty like it is could simply have shut ESPN out from NFL coverage going forward. That's why they caved, and why HBO will not.
The Packers logo (and name), Dolphins logo (and name), the Bucs name...all used in the premier. They even got "Sorry Ass Jacksonville" correct too even if it's not the technically correct name.
