    Sabol and NFL Films were a big part of my life growing up, and probably had a huge impact on my passion for football. Sad.

    Same here.

    I went to NFL Films this year but Steve was not well enough to be in the building at the time. I would have liked to have talked to him and to have thanked him for all the great films he produced.

    He offered me a job back way back when. I didn't feel like commuting from NYC to Jersey.

    Still regret that dumb decision I made.

    Mods can we change the title of this thread,.,

    Steve Sabol, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century rip.

    He did not work in what we call a traditional medium...but between follies, and insights..he was in great part responsible for American football becoming one of the greatest spectator sports on the planet.

    A great artist..a man of vision....and with his loss....we are all poorer.
