DVR for Sports Game Shows the Score in Description Field

I recently DVR'd a sports game. Unfortunately, as I went to watch the game (not live), the description of the event included the live score which ruins, in my opinion, watching the game with the anticipation of not knowing the score. I love the DirecTV Stream service, but highly recommend removin
