Ed Sabol the Founder of NFL films, that we all grew up on passed away today.

Fantastic career in capturing the essence of the violence and pageantry, agony and ecstasy of the game he loved. Thank You Ed Sabol!

He was awesome and was one of the main reasons I got into football as a kid. It was like gladiator music. You really felt like an epic battle was occurring.

Those early films were the best. They really lost something when John Facenda, a man I had the pleasure of watching do the news, passed away.

I believe it was watching NFL Films that really gave me a love and passion for the game of football! (Well, that and playing the game as a kid.)

Genius!
