Steve Sabol Dead of Brain Cancer at 69 | Page 2

Really sad day for the NFL, Steve Sabol of NFL Films lost his battle with brain cancer today. I grew up watching NFL Films and most of my first football memories involve he and his fathers films. His voice is one I recognize as the voice of the NFL for most of my life.

Hearing that God-like voice of John Facenda while watching Roger Staubach, Joe Namath, John Brodie and Fran Tarkenton will always be great memories. Thank you Ed and Steve Sabol. Big loss for the NFL fans the world over.
