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.

I remember seeing him at his dad's induction ceremony and he had looked like he had aged 20 years in a matter of a few years. Rest in Peace Steve. You and your father have changed the NFL and fan's lives forever.

Just saw Rich Eisen on NFL network about break down to tears making the announcement, kinda choked me up a little too.

watching "NFL Films Presents" on sunday mornings was a ritual in my home in the 70's ...their programs brought me a lot of joy, and it is still a source of comfort for me today .....god bless the Sabol Family
