Not sure I fully understand your question Frank. Are you trying to copy a single recording of the football from Hard Drive to Disc (or vise-versa) but want to edit out an unwanted part of that recording?
If so, goto Direct Navigator --> highlight the recording --> select Sub Menu --> Chapter View... from here you can split up the single recording into 3 pieces, 1st part of football, the 'other program' that you want taken out, 2nd part of football. Just create chapters (splits) as required. Then copy back just the first and last chapters containing only the football.
Hope I understood your question correctly.
